2.3.5.418 question and eclipse 2.2 wifi/battery - Motorola Droid X2

I have updated to 2.3.5.418.
I have a few question about it. So far, there is no way that I can go back to 2.3.4 or previous version via sbf, correct? So am I stuck with 2.3.5.418 and Eclipse 2.2?
I am asking this because my wifi on phone is connecting and disconnecting every 5 second.
I am on 2.3.5.418 as about phone tells me.
What fix can I do?
Also I have battery % problem... When I reboot, the battery percentage changes. What can I do for this problem? I can't download GB battery fix, and even if I could, it is not intended for 2.3.5...
I would like to get answer for both problem. Thank you.

No. For whatever reason, Motorola did not prevent SBFing back to previous releases with this soak test or the previous 2.3.5 leak. You can go back to 2.3.4 if you prefer.
The battery GB battery fix *does* work for 2.3.5, you just have to manually push it thru ADB. Check out the thread.
As far as the wifi issue, I'd recommend flashing 2.2 again. Wipe big 3, etc. I haven't seen any issues with wifi connectivity since I've been on 2.2. If it persists, you might want to start from a blank slate, going from a clean 2.3.4 sbf.

I thought the gb battery fix was already present in Eclipse? At least, at one point I thought it was, unless Motorola re-introduced it with this latest patch.
Grrrr Motorola!!!

I can't remember exactly, but I believe it was initially *suspected* the battery fix was in 2.3.5 and then after a few days it was confirmed so we had to re-apply the batt fix again. It's also probably compounded by the fact that people are coming from a fresh 2.3.4 sbf.

Well, I can attest to the fact that Motorola reintroduced the battery bug with this latest OTA. After flashing Eclipse 2.2, I used peppermints battery fix and all is right in the eclipse 2.2 world. I also let nitro know about it.

Thank you for quick response.
After reboot, wifi became better, after reboot... No idea what happened, but it doesn't refresh every 5 second.
Now for the battery issue. I cannot acquire GB file, as megaupload is down. (RIP megaupload) And I have no idea what is ADB.
So is there anyone willing to guide me through the battery fix? Flashable zip file would be even better for me. (less likely that I will screw that one up)
Thanks once again.
P.S. I see there has been issue about zergrush root. I am eclipse 2.2 with zergrush root. Should I be worried?

Yes. The update won't install because Zergrush moves some system files. You'll need to SBF back to 2.3.4 and root with Pete's Motorola tools, install voodoo root keeper, backup root, install the update and then run voodoo keeper to reenable root.

It was with the leaked 2.3.5, but I and many others have seen the issue. Once I've applied peppermints battery bug fix, the issue goes away.

bah, I was all ready to challenge you on this one, cause I had seen stability between boots, and even seen it go down. Today I thought I'd test again and it just went from 88 to 99 ;(
how the heck did they not bother to fix that? It was one of the bigger issues noted on the soak test boards for 2.3.4

Sleep of death

I'm running the newest SC and I keep running into this prblm. I've unrooted and rooted thinking that would fix it. I've ran a pacth file hoping it would be fixed.
I have been reading some post about it and really haven't found the fix or I just missed it. Can some one point me in the right direction.

The right direction would be asking your questions in Q&A.

First off, wrong section... should be in Q&A.
One way to fix it was to get SetCPU, and make sure the minimum CPU speed is 200MHz
You should also give more information. Have you flashed eb01 with odin before installing SC? How often do these sod's happen? Do you use the clock app?

Here is the only answer that you will probably get that will work (taken from the CWM thread):

[SIZE=+1]Most Thorough Method of Fixing Every Problem You Might Have[/SIZE]
If you have an issue with applications force closing or a continual boot loop, a lot of times you can fix this issue by running the Fix Permissions option.
If you would like to see your phone be able to have fully functioning Nandroids, and less problems with permission related errors when flashing different ROM's, I encourage you to do the following (this will make your phone as clean and healthy as possible):
ODIN the full stock EB01 package in PDA, the atlas_v2.2.pit in PIT, and "Re-Partition" checked
Let your phone fully boot into the OS and verify everything is working correctly
Remove your battery
ODIN the CWM Recovery package ROM from this post
While reinserting your battery, hold both the volume keys and the power button down until a second after you see the Samsung boot logo
You should see CWM recovery now
Flash the SuperClean ROM from this post, Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache only.
Reboot. If you have installed the Voodoo ROM, then you should hear a Sexy Robot lady telling you that she is converting your partitions. This process will take 10 minutes or so. If you pull the battery, you will have to start all over again.
Let your phone fully boot into the OS and verify everything is working correctly
If you need to install a theme, reboot, enter CWM and flash theme, Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache only.
Make a fresh nandroid backup. If you try to restore a Nandroid made with the old CWM, you will probably have problems.

If you do this and it still happens, install your apps one at a time. A lot of times it is a faulty application that's doing it (apps that mess with cpu speed/voltage, apps that control power settings, a clock app, and even youmail have all been blamed for it).
Another issue some people have is a certain lockscreen mod with music controls.

Your post isn't helpful to the forum at all, at least there's some community members who like to help keep our forums organized and clean so our Mods aren't overwhelmed. (See how easy that was)
@ OP, there is definitely a SOD patch somewhere in the Fascinate forums that Adrynalyne put out a bit back. I apply it along with the Camera mod every time I flash any new version of Superclean based on EB01/EB16. I'll see if I can post a mirror later when I get back home and you still haven't found it.
The SOD patch is already incorporated in to the latest SC. Gizmodroid's process (based on Adryn's solution to problems with SC2.7 iirc) is your best bet at this stage and worked for me. I would also recommend avoiding TiB as much as possible based on Adryn's comments in the SC2.9.2 thread. If you use Gizmodroid's process, please post your results in the relevant thread. I'd be interested in finding out the degree to which that process solves the issues generally.
I had the same problem. Follow the directions above flashing the stock and then upgrading and avoiding the apps noted above (I think youmail was a big part of my problem) and you should be good to go.

Thanks everyone for the fast replies even the one telling me i was in the wrong section. Sorry about that
I use both Youmail and the clock app all the time, so thats probbealy why i'm getting the SOD. I also install my apps from my SD card using Astro File Manager and it sounds like that could be causing my problem to.
I installed SetCPU and set the min. to 200mhz, hope that will fix my problems if not
Q1: can I download another clock app and be ok or will it do the same thing
Q2: is there any way of fixing the Youmail app or should I use another voice mail app.
Just want to thank everyone that keeps XDA up and running you guys rock. Love this Forum!
its funny this was posted today since i was literally coming to the forums to post about this very issue.
i have never had the SOD until i followed the instructional to flash back to EB01 with the new CWM.
it started waking slow a day after the wipe and reload, progressively getting worse. i started getting it yesterday bad where i had to restart the phone 4 or 5 times a day to wake it up. then by last night the phone would either freeze, or the 3G or wifi would show as working but i got errors saying no network connection then it would freeze.
PREFACE : FROM MY OWN experience it must be caused by one of 3 things. either the CWM itself, superclean rom, or something with the EB01 file. i have not installed any new programs since the ODIN flash, i did not restore data with TIBU, and i dont use Youmail.
i have also tried reflashing the modem and tried a nandroid restore from the instant i got it running after new cwm proceedure.
its still doing it and has never done it before the flashing.
EDIT: by the way i just realized that my signature here is wrong - forgot to change it.. running stock superclean 2.9.2 with the included kernel, no theme

Are you using the voodoo lag fix?
I think the majority of the incompatibility people are seeing with the fixed cwm is might be some broken compatibility with rfs. It's supposed to be able to handle both, but I think changes in jt's initramfs or changes in the project voodoo files in the kernel that CWM is put into are the root of the problem.
Maybe I'll get some time this weekend to look at it.
In the meantime, everyone should go voodoo/lagfix
yeah giz, im using the superclean "stock" voodoo...
r
tonight im going to go flash happy with the original odin file i used to bump to froyo, and the other old cwm with the broken fixpms and the non fixed superclean 2.9.2 and see if that helps.
i cant be late for work again tomorrow with no alarm from a frozen phone lol

Update...
I reflashed the original EB01 tar file, modem and the 3/30 red CWM, along with the original copy of the non-fixed superclean 2.9.2 ROM and i am running fine so far with no SOD issues.
As long as this holds true for the remainder of the day I'm going to flash the updated CWM tonight to try and narrow down which of the 3 things i suspect in my previous post is causing it.

created a sleep of death..
so, guess what? i created the sleep of death on my phone, and i know exactly what caused it.. not only that, but remembering back to my last sleep of death experience - it was the same exact scenerio..
i was running EC10 debloated, jt's 4/8 voodoo.. i flashed a theme to check it out.. didnt like it, so i re-flashed EC10 over it, with wiping dalvik and reg cache..
booted fine, however i started to notice clock lag almost immediately.. screen went off, and next time i tried to open the phone, i had to hit the power key 4 times before it would light up.. sounded familiar to me from last time, so i let it go about 1.5 hours.. sure enough, would not wake up.. had to pull battery to get it to boot..
i did a nandroid back to prior to the theme flash, and seem to be running ok.. however i am going to do the "clean" flash again tomorrow back to EB01 again just to be sure..
im convinced that is what caused mine both times..i will also be doing that every time i get tired of a theme instead of just flashing a new ROM..im guessing themes are leaving pieces parts behind somewhere that don't play nice with a ROM reflash over it..
I have been having SOD issues ever since I rooted and got set up on SC 2.9.2. However today, I decided to leave my GPS on and since I did that I have not had any SOD. Granted today is not a perfect example because not 45 minutes went by without using my phone, but it seems to have made things better for now, except my battery drains because of it.

why did all widgets delete themselves?

My phone completely died yesterday and I left it charging all night, when I woke up this morning all of the widgets were gone. The shortcuts to apps were still there but all my widgets including stock Motorola ones and various downloaded from the market were gone. Im running stock 2.3.4 minus the kernel. I have faux kernel installed. Anyone know why this may have happened?
Thanks
thats weird the exact same thing happened to me last night into this morning. i wake up. they are all gone. lol
There's worse things that could happen Haha, but still I don't remember where half of mine were haha
add me to that list
I lost mine as well, several times now. Just installed ADW to see if it happens again. It's getting frustrating.
Same thing happened to me when I was using a restored back-up of settings and configuration ADW.. Every time i would reboot I would loose my widgets or get "problem loading widget." I then uninstalled ADW and re-installed and did not use a restored configuration I have not had the problem since..
Hope this helps someone.
Same Problem
Funny, I had the same problem shortly after updating pudding (the unlocker SBF file that you install to unlock bootloader) and installing a custom kernel. For some reason, the two pieces work against each other to cause this problem.
All I did was flash the older pudding, called "Unlock SBF File" available at the page below, and reinstall my faux kernel, and my phone resumed fairly normal operation.
Unlock SBF page:
briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader
Hope that this helps
its still happening to me
I often get "problems loading widget" after a reboot.
No idea what's causing it.
Im running ninja 0.4.5 faux 0.1.7 on bell ATRIX..
Dame thing happened with cherrypi...
Oh yeah ... this is all on Launch Pro...
Anyone has any ideas what's causing it?
I had this problem when I installed faux's kernel... Installing version 1.3 or going to the stock kernel fixed it. Go into recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache then install the stock or faux's 1.3 kernel then reboot. Add your widgets again then reboot again to double check that your widgets didn't disappear.
yeah when i switched to kholk's kernel it worked fine, also on stock it works fine. Idk why faux's kernel does this

WOW! After a week of getting owned by this disappearing widget issue and going back to the stock kernel, it seems this might be the solution.
The only thing is I did it the opposite from what you did. I originally unlocked with the zomgunlock-lite.sbf. I'm currently on the unlocked and pre-rooted gb SBF.
So I went to the pudding thread and downloaded the newer pudding sbf from that thread (4547-fix-try2.sbf), flashed it, and after about 10 battery pulls, I still have my widgets!
I didn't even have to oem unlock again, I was expecting to be soft bricked, but to my surprise the phone booted up normally, and everything worked correctly!

This has been also happening to me. I am on stock 2.3.4 with Faux's Enhanced stock kernel 2.0. I have tried fixing permissions, but it only worked with the first reboot after that

This will keep happening no matter how many fixes you try unless you:
1) Use stock kernel
or
2) Use CM7
Just trust me, I know you think the fix permission thing fixes it, but it will come back eventually, just a matter of time.

Fingers crossed...I tried everything and never could get the Faux kernels to work with various roms and not with stock, either. Tried everything. (fix permissions CWM/Rom Manager/fastboot -w, fastboot erase everything, etc.)
Decided to give it a go a day and a half ago and tried the reunlock with the newer pudding unlocker (4547-fix-try2.sbf). Like the gent said didn't have to fastboot unlock, just rebooted. Then installed the Faux optimized 1.0 (not overclocked kernel).
Been running since with some reboots for good measure and the widgets are still there. We will see.
I was finally of the opinion that it was some problem between the kernel and setcpu..a month or so ago when I was running faux kernels. (I am not running setcpu at the moment)
We will see...
ps I intend to try CM7 but I am waiting for the lapdock to be functional. I use it everday

[Q] can i roll back to mr1 update instad this stupid 45.2.5??

hi evr1

did some 1 actually flashed the 45.2.1 sbf with rsdlite after he upgraded to 45.2.5?

You should be fine to downgrade, especially if you haven't unlocked.

without any problems.

I can't tell you I downgraded specifically on this phone but I can tell you that downgrading will not hurt your phone. Its only puts the exact rom,kernel etc. Back on the phone that it was shipped with. In the evo forum we would downgrade and upgrade our devices all the time. For some reason or another each radio worked differently with each device. I believe it was a hardware issue.
So in essence you shouldn't have a problem because you are not doing anything to damage the phone. I will contact a dev for you to make sure. His name is xxxvirusxxx on here, well respected dev.

I flashed the 45.2.5 update on the forums here over the official one and it worked fine. I was having some issues with the OTA maybe it didn't install correctly I am not sure but since I flashed over with rsdlite I have had no issues.
i reflashd it (MR5) 3 times already and having the same issue wifi error!
now i downloaded the MR3 sbf but i will not flash it unless some 1 in the forum
will confirm that downgrade with rsdlite to earlier version will not brick my phone
OK i'v done it flashed the phone back to MR3 with RSDLITE i almost peed in
my pants when the phone started and stuck'd on the "NOW" after the reboot.
the phone flash'd but again having "wifi error"
but the most odd thingy is when activating the phone with the Sprint zone
app the phone i was able to use wifi and after activating it the phone rebooted
its self and the wifi issue came...its something to do with this ****ty app.

2.3.6 -> 2.3.4 Update Rollback with UnNamed

I'm currently on UnNamed 2.2.1 with the 2.3.6 OTA Update (of course) UCKK6.
I would like to roll back to UnNamed 1.3.2 and the Original 2.3.4 / UCKH7.
All the searching and reading of posts has me in an easiest method tailspin.
I have a JIG so no worries on the flash count (I think this still works on 2.3.4).
I have mobil odin installed as well as root, superuser, CWM.
Am I just stressin, or can I just install "update-unnamed-v1.3.2-full.zip" via CWM?
Will I need a full wipe / App Reload?
I'm just trying to regain my bluetooth keyboard functionality. Mandatory for my travels. Battery improvements would be a bonus.

Yup, just wipe and flash.
You guys are the best!
Hoping to avoid the wipe, but 2 wipes and a plus = I'm gonna wipe!
Cheers!!!
I'm also trying to prevent the loading of the 2.3.6 OTA updated.
I thought this was a diagonal double arrow icon but I do not see it anymore.
Also not seeing Device Manager as referenced in similar posts.
Anyone have a sure fire way to stay on 2.3.4 (at least until ICS).
Happily back to 2.3.4 and about to test my mini bluetooth keyboard.

It won't update if device management has been removed. I believe GTG removed it a while ago.
On an unrelated note, how do you like your Tab 10.1? I'm about to pick one up.
Mostly the kids machine.
2yrs,5yrs,11yrs old.
Dropped on several occasions without a case and still running strong.
I guess the fingerprints on the screen don't bug anyone but me.
The 2 & 5 year old boys I could understand, but the 11yo girl????
We need a new tub of screen wipes I guess.
The screen is significantly slower than the SGS2, but otherwise no issues at all with the wi-fi only version. Kids are watching netflix with it all the time.

I was wondering why I couldn't find it. Great news. Now I feel safe proceeding with the full app(s) rebuild.
YEEEEE HAAAAA
My Bluetooth Keyboard is Back!
Arrow Keys, Backspace, Right and left mouse buttons and a real live mouse cursor!
As far as Tab 10.1 - I love mine. Task650's ROM is great.
Which reminds me, I need to backup, wipe, and update. I'm on an ancient version of it.

Hey Simba just wondering, is there any reason you're using 1.3.1 instead of 1.3.2? Is it just b/c theres nothing significantly new in 1.3.2?

Right. 1.3.2 only removed a couple of unnecessary lib files if I remember correctly. It also deleted some ringtones/notifications. I never officially went to it (I may have wanted those tones or something idk lol). I just deleted the lib files myself.
I'm running UCKH7 Stock Rooted and Entropy512 DD and would like to try UnNamed 1.3.2, but the download link is no longer working. Can someone send me a copy of the file?
Thanks

[Q] The mysterious wifi issue

I've been ripping my hair out the last couple days trying to figure this out.
In the process of flashing a ROM and kernel I did a number of things:
-Carrier unlock (I feel like this is the culprit)
-Unlocked the bootloader
-Flashed Wet Dream (2.3.6 build)
-Installed webtop
-Attempted to root, unsuccessfully (let me know when the 2.3.6 root is available, haha)
After all this, everything was working fine--including wifi. But somewhere along the lines, maybe 15 minutes after I complete all these steps, out of the blue my wifi won't connect. It just says "obtaining IP address" and never connects.
So I got pissed and went on a wiping/reflashing spree. Got everything reset. The wifi was working great again. Then randomly, it just stopped working again.
Question:
Does anyone know why this is happening and what I can do to fix it?!
I'm dying here. Just as a side note in case you need this information, I think I'm going to flash to the 2.3.4 Wet Dream so I can root my device. Also, I don't mind going back to stock. If that's what fixes, it then I'll be more than happy to go stock. I plan on running webtop2sd as well.
Thanks in advance.

Benjat, thanks for the reply.
My battery settings were set to "Nighttime saver". I set it to "Performance mode".
I set my wifi sleep policy to Never.
Still have the same problem.
My understanding was that WD was already rooted, but Busybox wasn't installing so I ran Root Check Basic from the Market and it said my device did not have root access

im not sure about busybox. what apps u running that require busybox? i want to try install it.
*i just try download root check basic. got message "your device isn't compatible with this item" hehe
Reboot and still no dice.
Ahhhh! So frustrating!
I was mid webtop2sd install and busybox is required for one of the steps to work. I'm actually not sure what it does.

nvm.. maybe do full wipe again..
what ver of WD u using? with what addon? im using WD 1.4.3 full
I've already done a cache/date wipes to no avail.
I'm using 1.4.4 lite. I'm thinking of flashing the 2.3.4 based WD though (is that 1.4.3?).
I could flash something else too, I guess. I really need webtop (with xfce mod) and I heard Wet Dream works well with it.
If this really is a software problem and it is the ROM's fault, then does anyone have a webtop compatible ROM recommendation?

i cant tell if its problem with rom or what.. 1.4.3 is 2.3.6 base. and yes webtop work well with it.
here's normaly what i do..
Boot CWM Recovery
Wipe data/factory
wipe cache
wipe dalvik
flash rom
reboot to fastboot and do fastboot-w & then fastboot reboot.
let it boot for 1st time (until stable/full load) i left it around 10 mins
then reboot back to CMW to flash addon. usually i flash 1 then boot.. continues untill flash all.. maybe a bit fussy step.. but i prefer all loaded before flashing another
*i never tried webtop2sd yet.. still dont buy bigger mem card coz funding for lapdock
** maybe can try this one to make it clean wipe.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421522&highlight=fastboot+-w
Yeah I realized too late that everything cost me way more than I had originally intended to spend. SD cards have come down in price but still pretty pricey for a 32 GB card.
And thank you for the link. I'll try it out tomorrow and report back. It's 1:00 AM here in Seattle!
Hey Mankey,
Have you tested different Wifi networks to ensure that the issue is not with the phone or the ROM at all?
Also, check if someone else on Wet Dream thread had WiFi issues, if this happened with someone else, then they should have fix for sure!
Usually I do what bejnat mentioned and usually works.
Also, about the root, try to follow a root process again. It happened with me before, then I had to install a .zip file through Recovery mode to have root access again.
Hope this helps!
wouldn't just flashing the radio or a newer radio maybe fix his issue??
Yeah it doesn't work with other networks either. And as for root I don't think there's a direct way to root 2.3.6 yet.
Sk8trix, I think I'll try that after I flash back to stock 2.3.4. I've tried just about everything but the radio. Kernels don't fix it.
I'll post an update in a couple days. I really want to get this fixed.
I had the same problem with my dark side when I 1st got it and to fix it I flashed another ROM ,loaded it then flashed back ,cleaned delvik cache and flashed gapps then rebooted and 1st boot fixed my problem was using 2.3.6 with webtop2sd+nebtop app hope this helps you
