[Q] A question about which kernel we should be on ... - Motorola Droid X2

I updated my CM-10 over the weekend to dkz's A3 release but looking in my "About Phone" I see my kernel verion is 2.6.32.9-00005-g22440aba, Baseband Version is n_03.13.28s.
Is this the correct kernal and baseband I should be on or is there something later (other than 2.35 which is for Eclipse)?
I used this same kernel with CM-7 and CM-10-A2 with no problems.
Just wondering.

The kernel version and baseband are pretty irrelevant on this phone. What's most important is the version of Android you started on. Since we cannot change our kernel you use whatever kernel version is in the OTA version of android that you are using. The kernel for Android 2.3.5 will ONLY work for eclipse. The kernel for 2.3.4 is the only one you can use with all the other ROMs for this phone. If you were on the 2.3.5 kernel and tried to flash CM10 the kernel check would detect that you're on the wrong version and would abort the flash. So if you're running CM10 on your phone then you are on the correct version. Hope this answers your question.

So, long and the short of it is, if I want CM10, I need to SBF to 2.3.4 and go from there?

If you're on 2.3.5 then yes
don't be scared it's only a phone

Sweet, done and done. Got CM10 Alpha 3 installed succesfully.
Well, except I can't figure out why I can't sync my contacts with my Google account. And how I'm supposed to get the Google Play store to work.
But I guess that comes with me being an utter Cyanogen noob.
At least I didn't brick it.

did you flash Gaaps?
also check
menu>system settings>battery & data manager>
data saver should be uncheck, unless you are trying to limit data usage
and
menu>system settings>battery & data manager>data delivery
check 'data enabled'
check 'background data'
note: exact locations may vary

That was my mistake. I had a "Google Apps" file for another device I was messing with (Kindle Fire HD) and silly me thought it was the one I needed :silly:
I wiped everything and am starting again with the right one this time :good:
I gotta remember to keep my files better organized so I don't screw it up again.
EDIT: Yep, got things right this time. So nice to be able to run CM finally!

[Q] Leaked Gingerbread or Official Gingerbread from Moto/ATT

So, its mid July ...I'm sure the update for Gingerbread is coming ....but apparently ...mostly everyone has installed the leaked gingerbread...now I ask is it worth it to go back to stock to be able to download the new update if so how do I go back? What do I need to flash? This question has probably been answered but I couldnt find it...thanks.

Hello filmusikat,
I see that you're running gingerblur 4.5 on your atrix, so do i. You need to flash 4.1.8.3 official sbf and check for the gingerbread update regulary. I don't think the leaked gb roms are worth to spend time for now. They all have glitches which would effect daily usage.

Hi filmusikat!
The latest ROM has proven to be very stable:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169409
The instructions are included within the thread. Not addressing the unlocking part since your signature already tells you got it.
As for being worthy, I say it is. I was in Gingerblur too, and the performance difference is big.

no glitches affecting any daily usage on me for 4.5.91. 100% functional, and 100% better than froyo.
Remains to be seen which version of GB will be the official release. The leaked versions everyone is flashing may not be the most current which will be offered up.
NOTE SHE/HE NEVER MENTION GB 4.5, actually if she/he indeed installed ota gb update.zip, with you instructions she/he will have a HARD BRICK
So first thing to find out is what actually she/he has installed

I've got to say I'm very pleased... I have Gingerbread beta 4-5, hotspot enabled, webtop working perfectly via webtop-joe, Netflix - streamingly like it should. My Atrix feels like it should have come out of the box like this. I honestly don't think within the next year or two they will release another operating system better than GB and by then I'd probably be upgraded to the newest phone AT&T has... Atrix Quad core 3D with a 5" screen LOL

For the nice lady:
"If you want to confirm your status, please adb, su, and "cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm" or just open the file in Root Explorer. If you see something like:
10000000000010001000300004000
Then you should NOT SBF anything from Motorola"
If you want to post your ReservedOdm to look and see if you will be fine to SBF 1.83 again
Probably you are safe if you actually installed Kenth by CDW or moto-fastboot (boot.img and system.img)
But if you actually run the update.zip or any update trought the normal android recovery screen and if you saw the following legend "updating AP20 bootloader" in that case you CAN NOT flash any SBF from Motorola
I hope it help

[Q] Is it worth installing NottachTrix4G?

I'm thinking on installing NottachTrix4G on my ATT Atrix. It's currently rooted, and unlocked, running 4.5.91.
I can't seem to find any reviews or recommendations for NottachTrix4G.
Can anyone comment on their experience with it, if you already have it? Also, is there an install guide somewhere?
Thanks
Welcome to the forums! Read the actual thread for Nottachtrix. The developer is very much so respected, and has a huge number of fans that use his ROM, your best bet is to just give it a shot and use it for a day or two to see if you like it. Don't forget to nandroid back up your current setup before wiping anything that way you you can very easily switch back if you are dissatisfied. All it takes is a SEARCH, figured I would be the nice one before you get flamed with a million "Use search!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" replys
Info
There is some info about Nottach Trix on here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1430608
and here:

Also if you used and liked Darkside and/or Wet Dream you are 95% likely to enjoy Nottach Trix.

I moved from Wet Dream to Nottachtrix. So far, I've found the rom to be completely solid, all features working as advertised and without glitches on my end. At whatever point he releases his compatible ICS theme, I'll be a very happy camper.
About the most painless way to get up to 4.5.141, I'd say!
Is 1.2.3 the most current Version?
And Sheepacurious, what state were you at before?

Unlocked bootloader, rooted, the dev post says Wet Dream was 4.5.140. Had to back up apps and SMS data, obviously, but you don't have to "get your phone back to stock" in order to flash this rom -- just make a nandroid backup and give it a shot.
as an international user (UK) do I need the ramfix.zip too.
The mods havent approved my login on the site, could anyone care to attach the file?

I have been running this rom since yesterday the install is cool with the aroma installer the rom is relatively fast when let it settle in

Its very nice rom the wayt it comes and you can choose what you want to add or remove its really great you should try it.
You can also go in and freeze more processes as well and right now man i got about 520 mb free and scoring around 6300 on antutu.
Its not like cm7 builds but you can use webtop and an alternative if you want to stack stock mainly for me its because i use my webtop.
try it it's pretty cool
I thought wet dream was awesome, this ROM is even better. I just downloaded it today and no complaints.
+1 for you to download.

Previous State
ROOT, UL BL, 2.3.4/4.5.91, Alien ROM
I accidentally hit the update option when it popped up on the screen instead of hitting later. Then I the wifi off on my phone and that prevented the update from being downloaded. I tried to do a couple of things to prevent it from downloading
1. Freezing Upgrader 2.3.4 using TiBu - This did not work.
2. Using CWM - Cleared cache etc and this did not do the trick either.
So, I finally gave up and used UncleCemka's guide to upgrade to 4.5.141 (2.3.6) and it was successful.
So, present state
ROOT, UL BL, 2.3.6/4.5.141, Stock.

Yes. It'll work fine. It doesn't mess with the webtop partition, so you'll need to re-do the HDMI exploit or flash the 2.3.6 webtop fruitcake which has that fix worked in.

Here you go. It's the Fruitcakes thread over in the dev forum.
now: you took the OTA update, which I'm pretty sure updated your webtop as well. The webtop fruitcake says 4.5.140; this may or may not be precisely the same version as your current one. With that in mind, I might try redoing the webtop-over-HDMI hack first since it's a pretty simple procedure and keeps your current version intact.

Did you sbf and take the latest OTA? The current version of the Eclipse will function only on that version of gingerbread.
yes but ill try it again just to back track my steps. I have factory reset had to sbf after Miui and before. I always sbf and wipe no matter what I do I am kind of OCD and have to start new Ill give it a go right now.
I have also tried new SD cards as well. I have been messing with dev. for a while so I know a lot about it I also read everything and more before I do anything (OCD) Been working on my A100 and its been easy and was easy flashing Miui dont know what I missed

If you are trying to flash Eclipse 2.2.1, you must be on the OTA 2.3.5 (418) build. Also, you have to root 2.3.4 and backup root using Voodoo before updating to 2.3.5.
and remove voodoo's su backup, before flashing eclipse

Latest official is 418. Latest eclipse won't work with 412. That could be the problem.

I'll remove voodoo but I DL Eclipse that was with the 412 file in the same thread unless I did not see It right. I tried to flash this a week ago and had to stop messing w/it I was editing band pics in PS & LR so I just now picked it up again. I DL the Blur version 412 should I kick that to the curb and DL 418? I was under the impression that the GBP7v0.5 would work with 2.3.5 412 though if so that would not flash as well

Correct me if I am wrong Eclipse did work with that version at one time or no? I saw Eclipse 3.0 but have not read the forum yet and I have been working on my Acer tab more. When I was on 2.3.4 I had no issues with Miui I had to sbf to 2.3.4 from OTA Leak 2.3.5 b/c I was not to fond of that rom at that time I will flash it at another time. I really dig the Eclipse Rom so if I need to start ov and it looks that way then I will have to read up on everything so I know what I am doing and not half assing it. I hate doing that.

I saw the 3.0 version for the Bionic and I have 418 DL now I am going to read some and flash the 418 and try Eclipse then if all is good take care of voodoo and hope it works. However I have some reading to do before hand. I am sure if it foes not go right I'll complain about it even if it is an operator error I'll still have to blame my DX2 for any errors. I think thats how it works

You don't even need voodoo anymore. Just take ota and root using motofail.

In order to flash eclipse 2.2.1 just do this...

-Root using Petes 1 click method
-Download VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper from play store
-Backup root & TEMP UNROOT (do not delete backup yet!!!!!!! )
-Settings>About Phone>Software Update> DOWNLOAD 2.3.5 OTA
*After downloading 2.3.5 from system settings the phone will reboot to stock recovery and install 2.3.5 kernel.*

-Open VooDoo, restore root
-NOW DELETE SU BACKUP FROM VOODOO
-Once you restore root & delete the backup < IMPORTANT! from voodoo you should be able to flash eclipse from BSR

Straight from nitro in another thread. Sbf, take ota, root via motofail, install bsr and flash eclipse then profit. So much easier than the previous method.

Updating from Alien4 to a current rom

Hey guys I'm wanting to update my atrix from 4.5.91 running alien4 and faux123 v0.1.7 kernel to the current version of CM10. What's my best way to go about doing this. Currently right now the phone keeps asking me to update every hour and I can't stand it anymore. I haven't messed with the phone in a while and it looks like a lot has changed since i have been here last. From what i have gathered it looks like i'm safe to install romracers recovery and then install the most recent version of cm10. Please advise on how I should go about getting my phone up to date. Thank you! I will donate to whoever helps btw.

Seemed like a dev related question to me...sorry. If someone could move it that'd be great.
mistakes happen, this is a section for active development, new things happening to our device. the Q&A section would be more fitting for any troubleshooting questions like this.

[HELP] Need to downgrade C Spire MX2

Currently running DKZ MX2 Alpha 2 on my C Spire MX2. Honestly, it works much worse than I imagined on my phone, a slew of random problems that make it irritating to the point of unusable, including:
Missed texts/multiple texts show up en masse hours after sending
The force close issues on Facebook and Baconreader
Call issues (will connect, no audio from either end, usually ends with having to pull the battery)
I was going to wait for an Alpha 3 or a Beta, but development seems to have stalled (DKZ has a full time job, no blame there).
I need to downgrade, either to the CM9 MX2 beta or to Paranoid Android for MX2. Paranoid Android, I know, required you to be 2.3.4 and I am currently 2.3.6, and C Spire doesn't have an SBF.
I just need to know what my options are. I know downgrading from DKZ CM10 to DKZ CM9 likely has issues too. Just needs some input Any answers I'm going to need a pretty detailed step-by-step, if possible.
I know nothing about the MX2 or C Spire. But I can almost guarantee you that being on 2.3.6 is what is causing all your issues. And the same will probably happen if you use CM9. What SBF files does C Spire have?
P.S. This should have been asked in the Q&A Section.
Nandroid back to stock then install eclipse/cm7 if it's stability you're worried about. I would say go with CM10 over CM9 but that's just me.

His problem is his MX2 is on 2.3.6 on C Spire wireless. These ROMs require 2.3.4
I also have a MX2 The problems he/you are encountering shouldn't be because you're on 2.3.6 I know it doesn't help but it's not the root cause.
For Eclipse, it doesn't matter you're on 2.3.6 you can still flash it (even though it says 2.3.5 required).
For CM7/CM9 you must get the patched (usually from lrs or 754boy...if not I can see what I can do for you) that removes the kernal check on the roms and lets you flash it on the mx2. You'll have to install the wifi patch also.

Well maybe you can help this guy out. I'm not the one with the problem. I have a Droid X2 on Verizon so I dont know anything about the issues he is having. Maybe the MX2 is different but the things I have read is that flashing those ROMs when not on the right android version will cause problems.

Just so everyone knows anyone with the MX2 if at any point it has had 2.3.6 on it, either though sbf, update.zips, or came stock, there is no downgrading, ever(unfortunately). When 2.3.6 is applied it burns a fuse on the board to permenatly lock it on 2.3.6, preventing any downgrading. The same concept is aplied to unlocking the bootloader. when the unlock command is issued and it is implemented it burns a fuse permenately unlocking the device even if we flash a locked sbf over it its still unlocked it just wont say that it is.

When 2.3.6 is applied it burns a fuse on the board to permenatly lock it on 2.3.6, preventing any downgrading. The same concept is aplied to unlocking the bootloader. when the unlock command is issued and it is implemented it burns a fuse permenately unlocking the device even if we flash a locked sbf over it its still unlocked it just wont say that it is.

Motorola hasn't changed anything since the first razr (non android) they've been using fuses for a long time

I would say go with CM10 over CM9 but that's just me.

Hell no. CM10 has WAY too many random app closes....it was annoying as hell. The interface was smooth but that's useless if the apps don't work. I would personally recommend either Eclipse or CM9. I've been running ParanoidAndroid for the past couple months and besides a few random reboots, its been pretty stable.
