I own a Motorola defy with green lens.
I upgraded to cyanogenmod9 and everything is working super well.
The only one problem is that when I enter to the "manage apps", it shows that in general I have 140mb of internal space, which is impossible, and 100mb of it is already used.
What can I do to return the lost 1.5gb internal space?
please anyone?
Did you try wiping data and cache?

I wiped everything million of times
I also tried a few different versions of the CM9 and CM7, all have the same problem.
Is your phone different version from international one?
I think it is as you said it is with green lens.
If it is the case then your version might have 1.5 GB of disk and international version less
If I am right you can contact a developer of your phone to make a flashable zip for you so that every time you flash a new ROM the partitions can be reconfigured.
It is quite possible that your phone has exact same features as international version but have more ROM size and different partition sizes

how can I check which version do I have?
FYI, I updated my brother's defy too (exactly the same device, off the same company) to the same versions I flashed my own, and at his defy it shows that the internal memory is just fine. about 1400mb in total.
During my experiences with my device, I accidently flashed an un-downgradeable SBF. so to fixed it, I used that special chinese SBF, from which I moved to froyo CEE, and from It I flashed a normal SBF. so, Im pretty sure that it's not about the device itself or the files I am flashing, but that some setting changed during that hole craziness.
p-p-p-problem FIXED!!
damn Im so freakin' happy that I found the right way to fix this!
since the beginning I was absolutly sure that it was the SBF which have done all these problems to me. I know it because when I flashed the special eClair (the jordn_U3_3.97 something), than the missing memory suddenly came back to live. the obvious problem was that... well.. it's a terrible SBF.
after flashing and trying billions of SBFs, just before I gave up and before I paid a developer to do this job, I found this lovely japanease SBF, from which I restored a Froyo CEE, on which I flashed the CyanogenMod 9.

Hi all, I don't think most Vibrant users worry about it (at least from what I've seen), but do you worry about losing your baseband/EFS partition/IMEI info when flashing?
For those of you who don't know or forgot, basically some flashes can result in a generic IMEI number and you SIM card would no longer be readable under any custom ROM. You would then have to ODIN to stock and stay there forever, as that is the only way your SIM would be readable.
I know this was a problem a while ago when CM7 or MIUI was flashed, but is it even worth worrying about anymore?
Hopefully someone can inform me and others about the issue. Thank you for your time!
I'm not cause I got my efs backed up. Plus AOSP ROMS are no longer tedious to flash..just flash like any other rom. Though odining back to stock is the only way to leave AOSP I don't really care.
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
Hey laylovj,
So we only have to ODIN to stock if we're going from an AOSP rom to some non-AOSP ROM? (How common are these?)
Also, I remember hearing that if we want to go from Gingerbread (specifically CM7) back to Froyo we'd have to ODIN. Not true?

Yea...there are three for us VIbrant Owners...
You need to Odin back to stock w/ repartition checked if you want to go back to Sammy based roms coming MIUI and any other CM7 based ROMs.
That's great to know, thanks so much for the info laylovj.
Anyone else?
I think i backed up my efs at some point but i dont worry about it too much... at one point, flashing kernels in gb, i lost.my baseband i had 'no imei' according to my phone... i odined to stock and now im back on cm7 texting 24/7 so idk
... itd prob be aa good idea to have a backup

Why worry now? I could understand worrying when we were toying with fire--i.e. early voodoo, etc. But almost all roms now are easily flashed and provided you follow instructions to the tee, you will have no problems.

I couldn't stand it if I lost my IMEI and was stuck on a stock, Touchwiz ROM. That's the only reason I worry.
younix258, I do have a backup of my EFS folder, but I guess ODINing to stock will also fix the problem like it did for you. Good to know.

I lost my IMEI a long time ago while flashing an unlocker or maybe CM7. I have this generic IMEI that has been working every since though with all the ROMs. Even Tmobile can't identified what phone I am using but they haven't shut down my service probably because I am paying $200 a month on 3 lines,.
Hmm, I wonder how often that's the case though.
From http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859914,
"In case you screwed your IMEI by playing with the nv_data.bin and you are experiencing issues like:
Fake IMEI (usually 004999010640000)
Unable to download apps from the market
Unable to unlock your SIM card using your PIN
Weird apps are downloading automatically from the market
Blinking SIM card icon on the top tray… ETC"
So I'd definitely like to avoid losing my IMEI, even if everything seems to be fine without it.
Been trying to get my phone to run fully on gingerbread, and have tried the official v20e.kdz flash, as well as Mik_os's CM7, both worked great, and I liked them a lot.
BUT, I can't get my 3G/Data connection to work on either. WiFi works fine, and I can connect to the internet fine that way.
So I am currently flashed back to the gross V10V 2.2.1 Froyo until I can get it figured out. I REALLY want to run CM7, but with no 3G I just can't really use it.
Searches have returned nothing. Any other canadian guys out there with this same problem?
I have a data plan, and I am with Koodo/Telus.
I believe it has something to do with the baseband.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217504

If you want a custom ROM, select one that corresponds to your baseband or switch the baseband. If you do not, you will have no data. That is all to it. End of story.
You can extract the baseband yourself from KDZ archive. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901417 (steps 1-2).
All of this covered in the sticky thread.
Got it. Currently have extracted needed files from the uncompressed dz file for my stock ROM. I will be reuploading CM7 and franco's kernel,(Lots of users seem to have luck with it, and I liked it when I ran it for a day) and then flashing my V10V radio and I will let you know!
Edit:
Wait, CM7 currently has a bug so 3G/Data does not work? Shoot! Or am I fixing this by flashing my stock rom's baseband? Will find out soon enough....
And I admit I'm a bit of a noob, I only started doing this last week. I'm learning though.

No dice. My phone was in its factory state when I began this project. It was rooted, installed AmonRa's custom backup, and I installed DrellisDee's Kernel so I could overclock with 2.2.1 froyo. Was stable at 480/768, but it still wasn't enough.
Nandroid backup, google backup, cleared cache, and dalvik. (Thank your AmonRa!)
Flashed CM7, latest stable release 6.5.7
Flashed franco.Kernel.v1-16082011
Booted up, currently running with no issues. Flashed my V10V baseband using LGMDP v1.5.exe .
No errors, everything went well, battery still at 92%.
Still no internet unless connected to WIFI, Damn. Guess I'm S.O.L. on this one eh?
Thanks for the help guys. Gonna check out some other Ginger ROMs and give them a try to see if I can get ginger to work with my 3G network. Any suggestions? I'm stuck with v10 based ROMs since LG hasn't released any V20 setups for my network.

You can't tell me how you got the phone rooted in the first place can you?
I'm with Koodo and have the Froyo 2.2.1 firmware on there.
I've tried everything I can do to get it rooted, and it just won't!
Gingerbreak says that there is a problem and won't do it.
Superoneclick hangs on step 6 which is mounting the SD card
I tried to grab a v10_G flash which is the telus stock ( I think ) but there was an error while trying to flash with kdz flash ( update error param =2 ).
Can ANYBODY help me to figure this out?
I havd koodo, just last friday I rooted 2 friend's phones with the gingerbreak app from xda thread. I took the second one and at first it didn't work because there were too many dots in the file name, simple as that, took me a while to figure it out, so I renamed to something like gingerbreak1.apk and it worked. For the data not working, just google " koodo apn " then you'll end up with the good apn info wich is simply. " sp.koodo.com " , port = 80, NO proxy as it just slow down the net, the other settings as they already are, 302 and 230 or something like that they come as default near the bottom of apn creation option in mobile options. All other fields leave blank. Hope it works..

I decided to install a different version of gingerbreak, and suddenly everything worked so simply...
I have since installed clockworkmod and have done a full back up.
Then I installed cyanomod and everything is up and going.
I was nervous to flash the google apps, but everything is happy.
Oh ya... I did have to update my apn data to the koodo network. I've tested MMS in and out.
You might want to try Andy's Phoenix rom; the fastest one and amazing statusbar. Some light text issues will be fixed the 20th october update. Beside that, the best for me with franco 2.6.35.14 oct. 2 kernel. Anyway, glad you could make it

How can you tell if the update to the rom was sucessful? Is there a different vesion number in the phone? Thanks
It looks different? The internal and external sd cards are switched? Myverizon app is gone? If it said in recovery that the installation is successful, it worked. If it produced an error it didn't. These are all good ways

only reason im asking is I installed .02 with no problems, but was having the rebooting when charging issue. i installed the .02-.03 patch, it said it installed sucsesfully but i was still having the same issue. I'm on .04 now and i am liking it, but i hear a new patch will be released today and wanted to make sure it was actually updated.
Alright well as long as there was no error during the flash its all set. It shouldn't matter if he releases a full rom and not a patch. A full rom can be flashed over anything with the same base, the patches need to be flashed over the correct version.

I had flashed .4 directly over .3 with a couple of wipes in-between and had no issues with the transition. however the rom was a bit slower than .3 imho. i am def going to try to flash to his next version when it comes available since he has mentioned it being a big step forward.
Hi,
I have an Atrix4g international (Uk retail) which is rooted and unlocked. Until about a week ago I had been running Aura ROM with a days 1.45 kernel. This was all good but I experienced some 3g data problems.
In the end I got fed up of not being able to download pictures when I received an mms and decided to flash back to my original rom. Once done I thought maybe the over clock 1.45 kernel would work with the stock ROM. It didn't and failed but I then noticed my wifi showed error where it usually said connected.
I reflashed my stock room from my recovery backup and it started working ok again. Both times I flashed my recovery it said error with recovery but the phone details read as it did before when it had the original ROM as it was bought.
Since doing I this I have noticed my phone being really laggy.... I also noticein advanced task killer that I never seek to have more than 80mb free ram.
I checked this against task manager and titanium backup and they seem to agree with the figures tb actually said I was using 100% at one point.
I even tried a factory reset fearing the hard brick stories.
I have wiped the davlik and cache and perfomed a factory wipe from recovery mode
Looks like I have a problem..
Anyone got any ideas on how to rectify this.... Is it likely to be anything to do with partitioning???
You atrix geniuses out there are my last hope so I thank you in advance for any wisdom.
Are you using the stock Gingerbread ROM from your carrier? If so, it sounds like you might need to flash a kernel that has the international RAM fix. Try downloading and flashing this if you're on stock Gingerbread.
http://faux.androidro.ms/Atrix-GB-Kernel-024r-ext4-1.00GHz.zip
That's the 1Ghz kernel made by faux123 for Gingerbread ROMs. After you flash that check to see that you have more RAM available.

Glad to see you've solved your problem though
Knock on effect??!!
Although I now have many many more rams than an Afghani goat hearder this process has thrown up another problem. The same error message is showing up where it usually says connected under wiring settings and wiring will not activate or connect.
Yes I was trying to flash back to my stock rom (via cm rom manager-reboot into recovery-restore.....)
Ok so the story continues...
after receiving your advice I flashed the file you linked to. And as I reported ram was up dramatically but then when I tried to connect to wifi it wouldn't. I went to settings -wireless settings- checked wiring on check box to turn it on and underneath in grey writing it threw up the message "error" where it usually says "connecting..." or "connected" etc
I went back through cmrm to recovery mode and did the wipe data-wipe cache-restore rom again but did not reflash the file you linked... checked wifi and worked but ram had gone again.
Went back into clement and went through whole process in one. Ie factory data wipe-wipe cache-restored ROM-flashed file you linked to....
Set up phone again checked wifi and still shows error. But my rams are back...
???? Puzzled!
Dont suppose you have an idea whats going on?

Thats strange cos thats what I was thinking when I wrote it... lol
Problems not yet entirely solved though..... :-(
Desperation is now setting in
Just an update... and help to solve this is really appreciated.
I have trawled the site and others regarding wifi error.
People seem to suggest its a number of things either hardware or software flashing kernels roms radios wifi fix zips etc etc
I can confirm my problem is not hardware.
I flashed back to aura and wifi function is back. And rams up to normal.....
but I have the original problem I cannot send or download pictures when received via mms.
Is there a fix for this?
I assume not and so therefore would like to ask the question does anyone know of a Stock ATRIX international (uk) retail Rom that is compattable with an ATRIX international (uk) retail phone that has been rooted and unlocked.
For some reason my recovery must be corrupt and is giving me jip.
Maybe someone knows why my recovery isn't working and knows how to fix it?
Thanks all in advance...
When I had the problem with wifi reporting just "error", I fixed it by just redownloading the kernel and reflashing it. Maybe try another recovery if that doesn't work, but I don't know why it wouldn't. :|
The wifi problem is most likely the kernel. Since you are on Aura now though with no data or MMS I would recommend changing your APN settings. Try googling the correct APNs for your carrier and changing them under Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names.

Why dont you try Nottachtrix if you want a blur based rom, or Neutrino for a cm7 based rom?
What recovery are you using? If you arent using Romracers recovery, try flashing his and seeing if his recovery fixes your problem.

I know I'm asking a lot, but barring trying it (on my daily driver - *gulp*), does anyone know if there is a clean upgrade path from
OEM GB
android version 2.3.6
baseband N_01.77.37P
webtop WT-1.2.0-110_OLY-6
kernel 2.6.32.9
rooted, unlocked(I think its unlocked, dosint say it but very slow to get past initial Motorola logo but no red 'unlocked', working webtop)
to the new much awaited ICS ROM (ThatROM).
I'm looking for things like 'yip, this will work, just install the zip update file and all your stuff will still be there and it will be a clean upgrade'
or the equally valid 'Hell no!, what are ya, you must be dreaming mate, no way you can expect to go from OEM GB to a leaked OS and still keep all your settings, contacts data on your SD card (internal and external). Its a clean wipe or nothing if you want to go ICS etc etc.'
many thanks for any/all replies.

I just did this yesterday (was running stock GB, rooted, unlocked) and upgraded to AtrICS. Was pretty smooth. Everything basically works, though I am having some issues with failing to get mobile data connection after the phone has been up awhile.
I wiped /system, /cache, and /data. But if you take a TitaniumBackup of all your apps before flashing the new ROM, you should be able to restore most of what your settings and apps. I recommend you selectively restore your most important apps and settings first rather than trying to blindly restore everything. I had some issues before (after doing a factory wipe of stock) with doing a full titanium restore.
thanks for sharing your upgrade experience.
I might attempt this myself now.
many thanks
