[Q] Bootloader problems - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So before you comment saying "should have searched first" I have tried every way suggested by XDA, Cyanogenmod devs, motorola and various developing websites. It has not worked once yet.
On 2.3.6 Bell Atrix
Rooted with superuser
RSD doesn't recognize my phone, but it did once upon a time (but wouldn't get the image on then either)
Fasboot commands always come up with errors or not implemented unlock notifications.
Using RSD Lite 5.7
newest moto drivers (as far as I know)
Have all my SDK tools
Have fastboot and the adb...dll files
The two computers I have tried on are a brand new HP running Windows 8 64bit and an older HP running Windows 7 64bit
I have been linked to so many threads that never worked.
Any steps, advice, link to new drivers/programs files ANYTHING would be greatly appreciated.
And yes I have the typical Wifi/BT issues as well as a messed up digitizer, but it isn't bad enough to replace yet.

there's a lot of things which can be done... I found this old link which may help? http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/85578-win-7-rsdlite-detecting-probelms-resolved.html
there's also this http://www.droidforums.net/forum/te...33-rsd-lite-does-not-recognize-my-moto-3.html . One of the main points seems to be making sure that you are running RSD as administrator by right clicking on RSD logo and selecting 'run as admin'

Actually great! Thanks!
Will try then post results.

[Q] Android bootloader interface - cant start

THIS IS ALL SORTED...DESPITE HAVING A STOPPED ANDROID BOOTLOADER DEVICE...I DISCOVERED THAT I HAD TO USE THE CORRECT FASTBOOT COMMAND AND NOT THE ONE SHOWN....IE I HAD TO USE fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
SO I JUST HAD THE ANDROID COMPOSITE ADB INTERFACE RUNNING AND BY USING THE 0X413C IN THE COMMAND IT WORKED...
hope somebody can stop me pulling my hair out!
Ive just taken posession of a Dell Streak. Came with the 1.6 android.
Have successfully done the OTA upgrade to Froyo 2.2. NICE
Successfully rooted using SuperOneClick 1.7 rageagainst the cage and allow nonmarket apps.
Want to put clockwork mod on..so can make full backups and perhaps try a rom or two!!
Have downloaded the latest dell drivers (R291096) and Sync Suite(R290209)...
Android Phone - ADB Inteface drivers all good
But i cant for the life of me get the Android Bootloader Interface going so I can use Fastboot commands.
Have tried XP 32bit and & Windows 7 64Bit with same result...have read lots n lots...but whatever i do i cannot get the Android Bootloader Interface to start....advice please my dear experts..
Baseband GAUWB 1A131921-EU

Thanks in advance...please dont shout out me ive read stuff all over the place and think this is to do with the official 2.2 =OTA upgrade problem...
Dell keepin me out of fastboot and messing with clockwork etc !!
hi there just been having the same problem for the last 2 days i was told that clock work mod wont work with dell streak ?????? look @ this line http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840326
to boot in fast mode hold the camera button in and press the power button in @ the same time then tap fast boot mode also i have attached a file witch help me also here is a link what helped me 2 n8 when i bricked it in some way lol
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=78
thanks for that info...i have just started reading through the streakdroid forums and QDL Tool (with drivers) sections...been at it a few hours...am really tired now...time for a rest before i do BRICK it lol......tried some other dell driver but no joy....usually always stick to my flashing in windows XP..for 32 bit and USB compatability but this is driving me nuts....thanks again....ive read read read and reread the pdf file.....
No worries i know what its like i was up till 2a, yesterday trying to do the same and 2 n8 got things working put a file on and it sort of bricked it and i have just sorted it out 20 mins ago
You have XP 64 bit? Isn't that a bit like a mythological beast OS that only exists in fairy tails and Redmond?
Hope you got this sorted out.
sorry should have read windows 7 64bit..only use xp in 32bit mode...all updates installed.
just trying again now...have uninstalled everything dell / drivers...used USBdeview to uninstall already set Android ports and old Qualcom ports from where i flashed my 3 usb stick, and the 3 drivers and software....downloading, again, the android 2.2 drivers and pc suite from dell.....will try again....i see 2.1 users and 1.6 users seem to have fastboot drivers working and clockwork mod....so will start playing all over again ..... at least the night is young!!!
oh bugger this im tired of going over things..guess the 319 version wont let you have proper drivers to "mess" around with the bootloader..ill revisit some time in the future
oh great decided to start again using a factory reset.....now all i get is process com.android.setupwizard has stopped unexepectedly. please try again..
cant get anything but a blank screen cos the setupwizard did not complete..
groan...
UPDATE 1345GMT.....downloaded Streak_319_12792_21.pkg .... renamed to update.pkg.....copied to root of sd card....booted into recovery and selected update from package.....am now back at 2.2 update and screen working...phew....now to spend rest of day setting it up again lol...wonder why doing a factory reset wont clear the caches?
I'm assuming you have sdk setup? If not give this a go great write up.
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
Sent from Re-Engineered dInc
no not used the sdk files...just the official update which is downloadable....no probs..
Also..update....i have managed to follow the instructions and install StreakMod even though my Android Bootloader device is still not started..Different commands there than what i was using to try n put CWM on.....ill see how that goes...at least im making progress and have saved the Official 319 update package in case i need it another day!! thanks for comments and help on this irritating buisiness...
ALL SORTED NOW..APPARENTLY TO USE FASTBOOT YOU MUST INCLUDE THE DEVICE CODE SO THAT FASTBOOT KNOWS WHAT IT IS TALKING TO!
IE THE FULL PROPER COMMAND LINE IS fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
CONSIDER THREAD CLOSED..THANKS TO ALL

[HELP] Softbrick which I can't use RSD (Unknown Device)

Hi,
First of all, excuse some error typing. My english is better reading than writing!
To go direct to the point, I, by mistake, erased BMM via app. Then I did a reboot and the problem occur.
The thing is: On this phone, I haven't BMM or Safestrap to do the kexec thing to load the ROM. I think with fastboot command and the right file I was able to resolve the problem. BUT, the phone in Windows is recognized as UNKNOWN DEVICE, and even on other pcs with Windows (which I installed the moto drivers to test too, either in x86 or x64) it still is not recognized. In Linux world I'm new (using Sabayon). I installed the fastboot and adb (its working), but I don't know how to install the proper driver for the razr to try in.
Today I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2047750 and after reading it and searching, I found this too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055839. I think this case is possible my situation too.
I just want a way to restore this phone. Preferably, if possible, just installing again the BMM in some way, or, at least, take it recognizable in windows to flash in RSD.
Did you solve your problem? Long time since I've been here, last time.
No! Since I was expecting to the support of the people here...
I being busy these days and don't have time to try to figure out how to solve this problem.
Thanks for your concern.

[Q] Rooting Venue 7 3740

Hi all,
I recently got a new Dell Venue 7 3740 (yeah, not my first choice, but it was free for buying a computer). Anyway, started reading up on how to root the thing. I have a couple of apps that require root.
I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/dell-venue/development/guide-how-to-root-android-4-4-4-dell-t2918427
and also the main Dell page: http://opensource.dell.com/releases/Venue_7_3740_Merrifield/developer-edition/
Following Dell's guide to rooting appears to NOT root it. Installing Root Checker confirms I don't have root. Unbricked it and got it back up from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4. By reading the first guide for the 3840, my question is ...
Is the boot image linked there compatible with my 3740?
(yeah, I know this should be in the developer section ... unfortunately I don't have enough posts ... also, I am familiar with rooting/flashing/etc, my first device that I put CM7 on was the original Galaxy S1 ... and I have CM10 on my S3.)
Tried, failed
Yeah I got this tablet with a PC too and tried rooting. It FUBAR'd on me and I had to wrestle with unbricking it. Which sorry to say is a job and a half, the images on Dell's site are corrupt for this WiFi only version (no partition.tbl file, system image incomplete). Ending up downloading the LTE versions firmware to get the missing files and rewriting the batch as the file names for the fastboot commands were wrong too. And even then the tablet wouldn't boot, so I had to store the OTA on an SD card and use recovery to flash it. Unfortunately that leaves me with 4.4.2 and the dreaded clock and browser issues. And OTA doesn't work, it keeps saying no updates are available. Spoke with a Dell rep who said OTAs were suspended and to try again in a week but I think OTA was broken for me when I tried rooting and boot loader was unlocked (which the PDF on Dell's site warns you about).
So now I have a working tablet that skips hours ahead and has general stability issues.

Hmm ... Interestingly enough, I ran through the unbrick procedure from Dell, and didn't have any issues with it whatsoever. I'm not sure if they updated the TGZ since you updated.
I have read that root is for ADB to start with. Can anyone confirm this? If so, then which package could I get for a superuser binary?

I did this process just a couple days ago so everything I pulled from opensource.dell was current. The unbrick tgz on the site shows up as 128mb for the wifi only A1195 and the A5195 shows as 821mb (odd). When I extracted the tgz it said "unexpected end" or something like that on the system image. Then again when I extracted from that extracted tgz.
Following the root process initially worked and the temp cwm recovery let me flash the supersu update. It booted with su just fine and I tried a couple apps that needed root and they worked. Once I rebooted again the tablet showed up with a USB icon and would go no further. Never having dealt with Intel SoC drivers it took me a while to get them installed properly, and then I eventually understood what "full power off" meant lol.
Do you know how I can relock the bootloader and get OTA working again, assuming I'm already on 4.4.2 from the OTA zip installed via recovery?
Thanks.

You better redo the unbrick procces cause as you are now, you won't be able to update your tablet and 4.4.2 has some issues with the clock and browser. The best way to root is by thetered cwm, I did it and it's working great.

This is quite odd. From the documentation, it appears that the A195 is for the LTE version, and the A150 is Wifi only. Since I have the 3740 Wifi only, I only pulled the A150 version.
The Unbricking process was very straightforward and everything went smoothly, and after it rebooted, it prompted that there was a system update from Dell, and that took me from the 4.4.2 from the TGZ, to 4.4.4

* For Wifi-only device on A150 and Wifi / LTE device on A195
I see it now, I think I was misinterpreting the above statement which means I've been flashing the A195 rom this whole time. Thank you all for your help! :good:
After getting my 3740 back to "Unbricked" mode, and OTA upgraded to 4.4.4, it appears that I'm completely locked out of the rooting process.
I've tried to start over with the Dell info (unlocking bootloader), however, neither of my PC's will detect the tablet when using xFSTK (one PC - Win8.1-64bit, other XP-32bit). The tablet IS detected, however, it appears that the drivers are no longer correct(?).
I normally run Ubuntu, and thats where my Android development setup is on ... I see that xFSTK is available for Linux ... has anyone used it? or would I be better trying to fight Windows?

It is mentioned somewhere that the 3740 and the 3840 use the same firmware. Assuming that, what you can do is download the latest SuperUser zip, copy it to the internal or external storage, then use THIS, or THIS to root through CWM.

Hmmm ... I took this to mean that I could use the same boot.img as the Venue 8, and tried the process from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/dell-venue/development/guide-how-to-root-android-4-4-4-dell-t2918427
NOPE. (Don't try, it'll cause the tablet to go into the "help my androids' fallen and can't get up" icon. )

I'm curious as to what it is you're trying to do. Why do you insist on having a developer's root (just the use of ADB shell), as opposed to full root flashing SuperSu from custom recovery?

I just want full root.
Most of the info that I've read on here and elsewhere are geared to the 3830/3840. Not as much for the 3740. So, by playing with the device and learning what works/doesn't work, possibly others may find this info useful to them.
I've been having issues seeing the device from XP, Win8.1 and Ubuntu, in the 'off' state of the tablet, when the PC should be seeing the merrifield. Just this morning, after bricking it last night, I discovered that my PC seems to see the device right away if I press Vol+ while plugging in the microUSB. (again, something that may help someone else) I was planning on double checking this info later today, to make sure that it wasn't a fluke.
I do appreciate both of the links that you've posted in this thread, and I will check them out. Of course, both are labelled for the Venue 8, not the Venue 7 that I have. Since I've gained knowledge on the unbrick process I feel more comfortable trying them.
I've installed (or tried to install) SuperSU from the Play store, but it didn't appear to help much, since I didn't have the custom recovery setup at that time. I'll work on that tonight.

A quick word on getting the device recognized in off mode, what worked for me was it needs to be completely powered off and nothing showing on the tablet screen then connect and bring up the device manager. Whatever shows up needs to be "Intel SoC" so change the driver to that if needed. When flashing firmware to unlock the bootloader the device's boot screen will show an "Intel Inside" logo instead of the normal "Dell" logo. I ended up running xFSTK commands in advance (they'll wait) and then running over to hook up the tablet (powered off) via USB as for some reason it'll show up and then I hear "da-Dunk" in Windows (device disconnected) after a short while which interrupts the process (same with fastboot commands). This was the unbrick process in a nutshell for me and I'm leaving it now as is (OTA'd to 4.4.4) until hopefully the supposed update to Lollipop comes around and maybe some progress is made on rooting it.
Hope this helps you!

I have finally settled down and got the tablet rooted. What's really odd, was Win8.1 kept losing the proper driver. I'm not sure exactly why ... but suffice it to say, I got it working. It did appear to be more stable when I hit the Vol+ and plugged in the USB, but then again it may have been a coincidence.
Open source dell
If you follow the link to dell open source, they do have a detailed PDF download for unlocking the boot loader etc. The file was too large for me to upload on XDA. I just found it today while I was researching how to root this tablet. I have not had a chance to try it yet.
http://opensource.dell.com/
That doesnt work for 3740 lte. I;ve done everything that was in PDF. OTA image should be with unlocker bootloader and root but its not. ;/
Its adb root not su big difference
Does anyone have any idea to root dell venue 7 3740 lte
The open source is for venue 7 3740 wifi

[Q] missing bitmaps & drivers on dis nabi 2 device specific help plz

Plz pardon my rant but I need major helpppppppppp lol, I've spent days scouring this site & google to try to fix this myself. I've built pc's but delayed learning droid because it's worse then mickersoft from what I've seen. I babysit for a lady raising her 3 granddaughters, they don't have net & were only able to access a few things. Sooo I volunteered to add some games, I was so flabbergasted at the bloat, shear greed and limitations of both versions of dis ui. I wanted to just disable it to use a different launcher but nooo to easy. no good deed goes unpunished lol. I updated the stock to the current as of two weeks ago ota kitkat and it went down hill fast, the dis ui worked for the most part but it wouldn't let me in the settings that's on the nabi mode for no apparent reason.
So not being able to find much current info for dis version, I made the huge mistake of using kingroots apk. it chocked but then work fine except I still had the above problem. no matter what I tried to clean or debloat. I got stupid tired and did a factory reset it now won't boot fully. I only get a pop up loop even in safe mode of nabiSetup has stopped. I can only turn off but can access recovery and the fastboot etc! I give it wins this round lol.
I have tried both win 10 32 & 64bit I only got it to connect once, it said I unlocked the bootloader but nothing can find the device to reboot-bootloader thru adb or NabiLab, 15 sec abd and etc. I'm to tired to think straight and to new to this so I must be missing something. there has to be away to get droid back on it! I can usually access the tablet and the sd card thru win explorer but no matter witch drivers I've tried it will not connect properly or the drivers won't install fully even with drive sig disabled. so it has to be because of the bitmap error I found in recovery or because it won't fully boot to access the usb on the tablet??
cliff-notes
1. the devise will not fully boot I get a nabiSetup has stopped popup loop in normal & safe mode I can only shut it off.
2a I can still get in recovery I tried to flash it but I assume I was using the wrong file nothing would load, but noticed E: missing bitmap stage_empty & stage_fill it seems to be a common droid problem but no info to be found for this devise version.
2b In the device manager fastboot comes and goes or I see a USB device descriptor failed or set address I think it was and pdanet stalls. I'm gonna fdisk laptop again it's had way to many driver attempts to be sure that's some of problem not operator error or usb in a mood again.
3. being brain-dead tired & a droid newbieish. I can't get to the usb to play nice so I can't install twrp. I assume because of the usb drivers ie google and etc not showing up right in device mangr. no usb on nabi which I just remembered the developer options vanished, that's why I decide to reset since what I think is the reset pinhole didn't work?
p.s I can access win explorer most of the time. the common droid/disney folders are showing but I'm unclear what all is missing.. can someone please give me a laymens clue how to get the os back on it. I deleted the cache and etc to no avail. I pieced together other peeps info here but so far I'm special no one has my exact errors lol. my gut says it's fixable from what I have read it seems to makes a difference its a disney version I don't care what's on it as long as it works at this point any ideas or help is deeply appreciated. I'm running win 10 ent 64bit at the moment and it was stock disney version of NABI2-NV7A-US-D with 4.4.1 before bad update of kitkat ota.

I pieced together other peeps info here but so far I'm special no one has my exact errors lol. my gut says it's fixable from what I have read it seems to makes a difference its a disney version I don't care what's on it as long as it works at this point any ideas or help is deeply appreciated. I'm running win 10 ent 64bit at the moment and it was stock disney version of NABI2-NV7A-US-D with 4.4.1 before bad update of kitkat ota.

It's hard to understand all of that but it sounds like perhaps you deleted some bloat that you should have, you sound like having driver issues, and possibly wrong TWRP version. Need to clear that up and then reinstall the stock Disney ROM.
I'd start here it has all the tools/TWRP/ROM's you need.

So sorry hun, toshiba is driving me nuts and I'm having a bad add moment or three lol. I read about you retiring. so I tried hard not to bother you. now I'm really confused. I've read your nabi2 general info post and even ran across your youtube vids. the problem is I'm not familiar with adb. & the included NabiLabGUI drivers, win10 either fails to finish saying it was interrupted. or it just won't install the 32 bit drivers, I thought I as suppose to use.
The 64bit driver 3 out of 4 install but, I can not get the Google Inc, driver to install properly even with the inf file. (ie the android_winusb.inf ) it says the system can't find the file, it can install the older versions from NabiLabGUI or naked drivers. but doesn't show in add/remove and it still won't detect the tablet most of the time lol.
Pda also has conflicts with adb, I got the nablab disney option to detect it but still failed to install twrp saying it can't find devise and I noticed in device manager 2 driver problems that will not let me update manually or they go missing if I try to force windows to reinstall. (device descriptor request & set address failed)
I must be missing something big, I also tried the 15sec and minimal adb. I assume because the tablet won't fully boot up, windows doesn't know what to do with it. when I tried different cables. windows 10 enterprise won't play nice at all now. so I will format again to be safe but lost what to try next.
I guess my questions should be is there a work around or a full inf version of the newer drivers for NabiLabGUI2015 that might work with this demonic disney nabi2.
&
Is NabiLabGUI compatible with .net framework 4.6 advanced services? (I may have to downgrade o/s. on the nabhacks site is says .net 4.5 is a prerequisites.) I don't know much about the app but saw 4.6 comes preinstalled, I can't install 4.5 yet, I saw there has been compatibility issues. and it won't let you revert versions easily if at all.
I'm to tired of this tab to think straight anymore and so grateful any help I'm in way over my head here.
Update
I lost the battle but I won the war, now google & supersu are messing with me as usual but it boots so I win lol :victory::silly:

Help me upgrade to 6.0 - manufacturer missing instructions for the ROM they offer

I bought a " Figo Atrium 5.5 ". The Figo website has instructions to flash the device to 6.0 Marshmallow instead of Lollipop. I believe these instructions are incomplete. Here is the link, I'll detail for you what I've tried using their recommended software SPFlash https://support.figoglobal.com/support/solutions/articles/16000047848-android-6-0-atrium-5-5
I downloaded and extracted both files on Windows 8 64 bit desktop, the SPFlash tool and the other the Atrium ROM itself. The very first instruction is installing the drivers which I do using the install.bat file from the "Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.352.00" folder. I believe my install fails at this point. Opening the Flash_Tool exe after installing the drivers (the tool does say they installed properly) I never get any information in the Chip Info in the Flash_Tool. It appears those drivers are not installed properly.
Researching this, I came across videos that suggest the drivers were not being installed properly because the drivers are Not digitally signed. I followed the instructions to fix the problem by booting to Advanced StartUp options then choosing to run the OS with digital signing checking disabled. Now on installing the drivers I get the popup asking me if I am sure I want to install the drivers I choose Install Anyway. The driver install tool just sits there for a couple of minutes doing nothing, then the popup message comes back asking again, am I sure I want to install the drivers. This is an endless loop, the application never attempts to install the drivers. The phone is plugged into the the PC at this point because I assume it must be for windows to see the phone. Note, at no time except the End of the instructions does it tell me to have the phone plugged in. This confuses me greatly. I don't know if the phone should be plugged into the pc at this point or not. Can someone who if used to doing these kinda flash jobs look over these instructions and help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Thank you. I will do my best to answer back with more info, I'll be home all day watching this thread.
( btw, the forum on that site is moderated. I have tried over two weeks ago to post forum messages about my issues, but the moderators never posted any of my messages - it seems customer service is non existent)
Please mark this as Solved. I fixed my problem with a bit more research. Figo gives incomplete and also incorrect information on upgrading the Rom ( as you can see) Nowhere do they tell you in the instructions that you need USB Debugging Enabled or how to do it. This is a critical step or the drivers will never see the phone. The drivers did correctly install the first time as I suggested. That was the incomplete information. The incorrect information is this: They tell you to take the battery out to flash the device - which will never work because the phone needs power for the drivers to flash the device. What you have to do while the phone is On and Connected to PC is remove the battery then put it back in - then the phone will flash. This is critical step 2 they were wrong about. I suspect it has something to do with a bad Chinese translation.
