[Q] Bootloader confusion....

Hi guys... I have just returned to android after joining the other side. My last android device was an htc hero which was rooted and running a custom rom, but that was a very long time ago and android has moved on so much since then. I recently purchased a motorola atrix which was locked to t-mobile uk, I used an unlocking code to use on the o2 network. I then rooted the device. I have looked through the many many posts of how to unlock my bootloader and usually I wouldnt have any issues but many of the download links are down, so I read another method and the more I read the more I doubt myself.
please dont flame me, if somebody could spare a few moments i'd be very grateful...
my device details are as follows...
Model - MB860
Android Version - 2.3.4
system version - 45.31.2MB860.T-Mobile.en.GB
Baseband version - N_01.100.00R
Build number - 4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.2
Also, any good rom suggestions? I drive for a living so I use co-pilot sat nav alot, I also love taking pics and videos, so would like a rom that has working camera and video recording....
thanks again...

I am not certain with what your issues are with following the method in the sticky at the top of this thread. If some download is not working, seach around for the same file. It is all about getting the unlocked bootloader to flash.
AFAIK, the only way to unlock a moto phone is to flash a moto signed unlocked bootloader.
I do wonder if just burning the fuse would do the trick, but do not know either if it can be done or if it works. But I seriously doubt you want to go there.

Sorry guys.... The sticky somehow got linked to my question.... please ignore the sticky!!! I have no idea how that happened.

Ok, I managed to sort everything out... I'm running Nottach Trix4g custom rom.
But I did notice something whilst running rsd lite, I made sure that I followed the instructions exactly, my phone was detected and started to unlock my bootloader, all files extracted and for some reason on the last section my phone rebooted but the operation had not complete on rsd lite. So I tried again with the same thing happening, the device would reboot with no 'UNLOCKED' on the boot screen. After the second time I was alittle worried so checked the phone was working properly and noticed a decrease in performance. I then checked available memory and it was at 78mb free, even after rebooting with 200mb used!!!
Basically I ended up unlocking the bootloader via command prompt and it worked first time, I've made a back up of my stock rom and then went ahead and installed the nottach Trix4g custom rom, this rom has the ramfix as an option during install.
So right now after checking my running services I have 440mb free with 222mb used, does that seem right?
After I installed the new rom I let it settle for around 30mins before using the device.
It seems ok but what do the more experienced users think, have I messed something up?

yup sounds about right thats a good rom too

Really happy with the rom too. If i was to change roms would I have to re-apply the ramfix?
thanks for your help.

hope this helped!!
depends if you have bell atrix AT&T atrix or international. all international users have to flsh the ramfix when needed. i have att atrix so i can flash either flaux123 clesmyns or cm9 kernels well depending on the rom. cm9 uses cm9 or flauxes123 kernel and gingerbread uses gb kernels.

oh ok, I see..... im from the uk so I had to flash ramfix. Does that mean that even if I was to flash a stock rom that I'd still have to flash ramfix, or would it be back to normal? I suppose what im trying to say is, using the method I used to unlock my bootloader have I damaged the ram in anyway?
Whats the best ics custom rom available at the moment?
Thanks again....

No by unlocking the boot loader you didn't mess up anything. You just voided your warranty. Now if you were to put stock rom u don't have to flash ram fix. If it boots up and passed the boot logo then you're good. But if it stays stuck on boot logo for more than 2 minutes then logically u need to apply ram fix. U can flash any ATRIX rom. If it gets stuck then u need ram fix. And best ics rom as from right now will be the one from jokerjax.com.

thanks guys, I really appreciate your help. All seems to be running surprisingly well with the new rom.
now to try cm9.....

Nexus4, sudden signal loss

Good evening, I'm having issues with my nexus .
Days ago a friend of mine told me about the Xenon HD rom, and I decided to try it (Im a CM user).
Today, I made a backup with TWRP and flashed the rom, I tested it for a few hours and I did not liked it, so I decided to go back to the previous rom, so I restored the backup. I realized that all my applications were not installed, so then I decided to do a Factory Reset and restore the backup again, my apps were still missing.
So I decided and start from scratch, doing another factory reset and installing CM on it, I factory reset it and I realize that my phone did not have any signal!
Wifi and everything is working but iit is not receiving any signal!
Can anyone help? I even tested it with a simcard from another company and nothing!
Are there any settings that may have been moved? Some option? please help me!

If you already flashed the factory image
Just let it be, insert your sim card and let the phone on for awhile
That happened to me with PA in 4.2.2 you got to wait a bit

I dont think this will help that much, Its like waiting for it to fix itself, Thanks pal
At this point, my phone is fully stock and ready to go to the US for a claim process...
I just want to make sure everything is as stock as it should be, please take a look at the following and let me know:
Bootloader
Recovery
Anything else should be done? do you think that google will find out that the phone was rooted or something?

Good day, I just wanted to let you guys know that the weirdest thing just happened to me.
I just came from my office and thought about going and turning on my phone, I did, and enabled airplane mode, (also turned on and off nfc) when I disabled it, my phone detected the network signal! I even received a sms, I also made a call! and thought, wow! it fixed itself up! I was literally dancing in my room and changing my simcard... (because I did all the above with a replacement chip that I have) and when I finally put my chip back, I made a call and it lost the signal again... It is now again without signal... I’m beginning to think this is a hardware problem...

Any update on this?
I've had the same problem for a few weeks now, the 3G/H signal just drops out, rebooting, airplane mode switching, returning to stock, different apn's, changing radios, replacing sims have all had no effect.
It's getting embarrassing now, seems to be such a common problem and yet no acknowledgement from Google about the issue which I believe to be deep in the settings/software and relating to the hardware in the original batch of Nexus phones.
I could arrange a return and get a replacement but I've read that even replacements have the same issue.
Apart from throwing the thing against the wall is there any other fixes out there?
If it helps I'm on 02 UK pay monthly, surrounded by cell towers, the phone is rooted and running stock 4.3
Just checking it now and I have H and 4 full blue bars - Ok update twitter.. nope, ok go to the play store..nope...

[Q] Galaxy S4 i337m - NO AUDIO WHATSOEVER

Total Noob here. I have a GS4 (Canadian Rogers Model i337m). When flashing CM 10.2 I wiped dalvik cache, system, data, internal storage, and cache (to get all the samsung stuff off my device) and formatted data. After flashing, everything worked perfectly EXCEPT there is no audio from anywhere. No systems sounds, no notification sounds, no music (headphones don't even work), absolutely nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've been racking my brain all day trying to figure something out. Thanks.

Stock firmware?
sent from my mobile device

Ive got the same issue, I was running OMNI rom until i got fed up of the phone powering off on its own. I decided to flash back to stock rom with odin then flash CM11 nightly. Thats about when I lost sound. Not only do I not have sound, the phone freezes up every time I use an app ( even dialer ) which requires sound. I've since tried flashing back to stock again in Odin, even trying different stock firmwares. I've still got the issue and the phone is basically useless as a phone without sound... Please help. Is this a modem issue? If so, how to I flash a new modem that will work, and doesn't flashing stock replace the modem anyway? Could this be a bootloader issue? I've been flashing roms and playing around with android for a while but I'd still consider myself a noob.

Same
I got the same thing here, No music plays at all, My phone completely froze when someone tried to call me. also complete noob at this stuff.
I did find a couple ROM's that were i337m 4.3. But none did anything, but did the same thing. All had no audio at all. I also get screen flashing a lot (That could just be my water damage)
Wouldn't mind finding an answer for this either!

Flash i337m 4.3 official firmware

You might wanna try flashing a new kernel. That usually fixes Wifi issues at least.

Sidenote, anyone know any Stock kernels of i337m? Or if they are even available for download. Or a way to get 'em?

[Q] no sound and cannot make calls

OK so there's a bit more to it than that but I will try my best to explain,I recently picked up my s4 1337m and decided to root it,all went well so I decided to install cmod11,again all went well but I wanted to go back to to stock so I flashed a recovery in odin and now I have no sound,cannot make calls,cannot recieve calls because the phone lags for awhile and I also cannot update to 4.4 kitkat because when I do the phone is really slow and does not like to respond so I have to go back to 4.2.2.I asked a friend who knows way more than I do and he said it sounded like a modem problem so he found me a modem online and I flashed it,however the phone is in the same state as it has been for two days now.I don't really know what else to write other than the process went like this:I rooted the phone,installed cm11,tried to go back to stock and am now in this situation.I now wish I had never attempted any of this and only want my phone back to the way it was but I am losing hope .I did find a thread on here where the person just kept flashing the stock rom and the sound and everything came back after a few tries but this has not happened for me,please if anyone has any ideas I am open to trying anything.If I did not provide enough info please just ask and I will do my best to answer.I did trip knox if that matters I just hope all is not lost and someone who knows more than me can help.I should add when I put my sim card in I can still text and get texts just cannot call out and I also have no wifi.So in closing I thank anyone in advance who can help me get this phone working again.I should also add it is locked to Bell

anybody have any ideas

Have you considered if it's a hardware issue? Intermittent issues can be hardware. It might explain why no matter the ROM you have this common audio cutout problem. I just had my phone warranty serviced because whenever I would record audio or audio and video upon playback I would get these weird audio artifacts like popping and static sounds. The tech told me they resoldered the audio pins to try and correct the problem. It is now fixed btw. (The same repair had them replace the proximity sensor too but it seems to me they actually replaced the entire main board b/c my board serial number is different. To my understanding the proximity sensor is a module and the audio chip is soldered onto the main board.) Would warranty service be an option for you? If not, there is a good tear down guide on iFixit.com and others on Youtube.

yes i have took into consideration it might be hardware issue. but it makes no sense because i also repair cell phones that there is 3 different speakers in a cell phone how is it that all of them would cut out at the same time when they all have different hookup spots and y would it come back with a reboot every time.. and then randomly shut off sound again..
anyway thanks for your time reading and replying to me greatly appreciated if u find anything else out be sure to like me know thanks again
