When I was originally looking to buy the atrix (before it was released) I looked at a website that was all flash that had a grid in the background which you could click on pictures of different user types and see usage scenarios. I haven't been able to find it since. Did motorola take it down when it was launched? Does anyone know a link to it?
I know exactly which site you mean. It came up on google first. But if I do google now it looks like the site on the German page.. I always thought it would go the other way round
http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/U...d-Services/Mobile-Phones/Motorola-ATRIX-US-EN
This is what used to be the site you are referring to (I think ). It's a little bit different than before.

Looks totally different. The old site had some video of a girl using the lapdock then getting up and taking a picture with the phone all the while talking on it via bluetooth. It had lots of other example videos as well embedded in the background. This new site has lots of info but lacks the quick looks at video usage scenarios that I wanted to show people
I think you are talking about the Atrix page at the AT&T site.

Does it unlock the bootloader too? And do you have to use that Dongle?

Not had a chance to look into it yet, im posting from my ipad wont be back home till late tonight to have a look. It dosnt mention nothing about the bl in the email i received so i doubt it.
this would raise the selling point for arc
will only sell it if i can get a Gnex or note
From what i understand, we have to buy the software for 140£ and then we have unlimited unlocks.
Well, it´s a good solution for someone ho has a store or is willing to make buisseness in the forum at a decent price.

I tryed version 51 and after download and install, it check for an upgrade. It exist a new version, v60 that download and install but after start new installed version, it requires a dongle for running.
Do you know if version 51 runs without dongle? or version 51 is a fake version to hook you and always finish downloading a version that requires dongle one?
Anyone tested and find a version that runs without dongle?
Thnx
Dear All,
I recently sold my wife's Ideapad K1 (Lenovo abandoned it and it was stuck in Honeycomb land forever) and am looking to buy a Nexus 10 for my wife. She mostly used her tablet for watching TV online, checking email and the normal stuff. I know that the Jellybean does not support Adobe Flash, which is what brings me to my question-
If I were to give one of you the name of one site, could you please see if it opens up on your Nexus 10 and whether you can watch the videos from the site on it? Since my wife watches videos from that site, it is important that I know that the site works on the tablet before I buy it.
Second question is - is there an easy way to get flash to work on Nexus 10?
Please let me know. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Chet
There are few answers to that.
1. Although flash doesn't work on jellybean there are few sites that still work. Also, majority of the sites have started using HTML5. So it should be fine.
2. If you're rooted, you can flash adobe flash player to get back flash. But I'm sure you're not gonna do that cuz if you buy the N10 you don't wanna mess with it the day you get it.
3. Get a video player from Play Store called MX player. You're videos should work.
4. What's the website? I'm on jellybean lemme look if it works.

D00mSlayer- thank you!
D00MSLAYER- Thank you for your reply. The website is in my native language (I am from India). It looks like all the videos on the website are basically Youtube based videos that are embedded on the website. This forum will not let me post a link to one of the videos from that site as yet on the forum. Can I PM you with the link?
Thank you so much for offering to do this!

Unless something has changed from 4.1.2 to 4.2 you don't need to root in order to get flash working. Can you not just find the app and sideload it. It should then work with compatible browsers like Boat and Firefox. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
You dont need to root to get flash working. Just side load the apk. Search google or search xda. Im sure there is a few flash apks roaming around. Also be sure to check Unknown device so it will actually allow you to download the apk tovyour device

Yes this is what i did to get flash to work, i searched XDA using google, i then installed the flash apk, then i downloaded Firefox beta, turned on plug ins and its as easy as that.
Thank you

Dear All,
Thank you so much for all the suggestions. It looks like getting Flash based videos to work on the Nexus 10 is not going to be a big deal. I think I am going to go ahead and make the purchase at this point.
Thanks again.

If you don't want to root you can try puffin browser. It loads the flash content on remote servers then send it back to your device. :highfive:

I've been sitting on my unlock bin for a few days now. Once exited to flash 9.0.x but now I left scratching my head of what do I lose by doing so. I've searched countless threads to come up with the following issues. Could some users that have made the jump clarify somethings? How can I extract the Tmo Modem before flashing? Is there a writeup somewhere?
1. Once the bootloader is unlocked - Corporate type apps stop functioning - INTUNE/Mobile Iron - ( I have to have INTUNE on my phone to pull company emails)
2 Google Pay - NFC - If seen a few post about Google Pay not working -
3. Unable to download some normal everyday apps from the play store - Netflix
4. Streaming content is reduced to 480P -
Yes you can go back to stock. Easiest way is by using MSMDownloadTool.
Of course you'll get storage wiped
MobileIron works for me. The only issue I've had with it is due to the parallel apps feature. You can remove the work profile and then mobile iron worked.
Try magisk to pass cts/safetynet.
Same with Google pay. You need a custom kernel or use Magisk. You'll pass cts/safetynet and can use it without any issues.
You can still download everything. Guess how? Yep, magisk.
Only Netflix and Amazon prime is limited. I'm not sure what Amazon puts their videos at, but Netflix does 960x540. Which isn't that bad at all, at least my opinion on a 6" screen. The Netflix sources are clean and there's no artifacts, so the video is better than it seems at that resolution. I'm not watching a lot of full length episodes or movies on my phone, so for me it's not a big deal.
And as mentioned above, you can go back to fully stock by using the msmdownloadtool. So just unlock your bootloader and try this all out. If there's any deal breakers, just go back to stock.

YouTube TV most tend to not add to the mix but it's also effected by a bootloader that's unlocked.
It defaults to 720x480 @ 30 FPS (basically 480p). The 30 FPS is key. Once you unlock bootloader it's L3 encryption and that's why for the others too (Netflix/Amazon Prime). Having bootloader locked you get 1920x1080 @ 60 FPS or 1280x720 @ 60 FPS on YouTube TV. Resolution isn't as big of a deal but the frame rate certainly is for sports.
You need to enable Magisk Hide, not just install Magisk.

Does this relock the bootloader? If so, I assume I'll be able to re unlock using the existing unlock.bin provided from OP

Is there a workaround for this? Do you know why content providers care about the encryption level?
Thanks for clarifying. I think there was a post about a tool that checks the resolution and framerate.

There's no work around other than keeping your bootloader locked (then you won't have root).
It's widevine DRM encryption. Just about every device is L1 which provisions the device for HD playback. Once you unlock your bootloader you drop to L3 and are only provisioned for SD content. If you go back a year to the OnePlus 5T days OnePlus got in hot water with the community since they shipped a device without L1 support.
If you want to read more about it here, check it out. I haven't rooted my OnePlus 6T (first phone in 6 years to not do so by choice (e.g. there's root available vs no option out there)). I've got everything I need (system-wide adblock, iYTBP, etc.).
https://www.androidauthority.com/widevine-explained-821935/
EDIT: Run the MSMTool and go back to stock stock and you'll have a locked bootloader and back to L1 provision should you want it.

This is super helpful - I only want the benefits of the Stock OP Roms . I haven't needed to root a device in years. Thanks for confirming that the MSMTOOL would relock. This will allow me to proceed with testing the process.

Msm tool does relock.bootloader. You are able to use the same bin to unlock again. We have a complete restore and unlock.orocess for our device.

Most of my company adds are saying that I'm rooted, didn't think I rooted by flashing. I've tried magsik hide to no avail. Any other suggestions?
I'm rooted with Magisk bootloader unlocked T-Mobile 6t and it's awesome. I have noticed 0 change from how my phone worked before. YouTube still looks great and Netflix too. Can't speak to corporate apps but if you pass Google safety net you will probably be fine

Hear me out, I want to stop being addicted to social media and other crap that is too easy to access on recent phones. So I wanted to go back to some ancient phone that I had in the past and that I liked. My favourite old phone is the Xperia Ray, which is basically the same stuff as the Xperia Arc but much smaller. This phone is not too hard to find refurbished for a decent price, such as on Aliexpress.
The only features I need are mp3 playing, bluetooth streaming (IIRC this phone supports SBC and AD2P so it should work just fine), SD Card for music storage, and calls+sms. I would also like to use Whatsapp or Wire or Signal, but I don't think those support Android 4 anymore.
Anyone still using it as a basic feature phone? Can you use Whatsapp, Wire or Signal on it and does Bluetooth work well with recent headsets?
Let me reply to my own question. I bought the Xperia Ray refurbed on Aliexpress and it actually arrived in excellent conditions, it was almost as good as new. On its stock firmware, it's barely usable, but on 4.4 CyanogenMod it's fully usable. Whatsapp works well, and you can watch youtube videos with NewPipe legacy in 144p, not very appealing but if you are reading this you probably want to cure your social addiction. Other social media crap doesn't even work but then again I used youtube 99% of the time. Most apps don't work well, for example, the phone is unusable as GPS nav, so I have to keep a modern phone in the car in case of emergency (and swap the sim). The built in mail app from CM works well, and so does the music player, but I wanted to install the old Walkman ported from the Xperia S, which also works decently. Bluetooth in the car works for basic streaming with no metadata, but on CM it works like on a normal phone with metadata and everything.
The screen is a bit yellowed but I don't mind. The battery looks original and lasts around a day, but then again you will not be using it too much because it's not compatible with most apps.
Hello!
I just had the same idea that you had and wanted to rescue my old Xperia Ray, a phone that I loved, and make it usable too (Whatsapp is enough for me). The problem is that I am finding it hard to upload to Android 4 as most links and webs are now broken, and I don't even know how to run CyanogenMod... Could you please tell me if you followed any available tutorial or have the files needed for this?
Thank you very much!

If you've never run a custom rom on the Ray before, you'll need to unlock the bootloader first. Some instructions can be found here: https://github.com/LegacyXperia/Wiki/wiki/Installing-LegacyXperia-for-Dummies
You can find CyanogenMod and LineageOS roms for the Ray here: https://archive.org/download/LegacyXperia_SEMC_2011. Look for roms with "urushi" in the filename.
If you're going to install a Marshmalllow or Nougat rom, you'll need to follow this guide: https://github.com/LegacyXperia/Wiki/wiki/Installing-Marshmallow
I decided to use the LineageOS Nougat rom and posted some thoughts over here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...cyanogenmod-13-0-builds.3323975/post-85992081
Hope that helps!
