[Q] Atrix 4G Soft Brick - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hello, I tried to use this to root my atrix:
Link is not allowed cause I'm new but if you search for atrix 4g hacks .com you will find it.
However, I did NOT see the comment about the 2.3.4 update till I did it. Now it is sitting at the RSD menu and won't boot. I see the Android Recovery but I cannot seem to activate with the volume like it says.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks greatly

unroot please!!

Alright...I was not sure to post this in development or what because of the thread that stated it was not a Q&A thread, so I came here.
Reason for is I am totally stuck...i have a rooted evo 4g with omj eclair v1.6 and from there it has given me nothing but trouble. At this point i cannot put my phone in recovery for what ever reason (may I add that i have tried all the necessary ways to do so) and now I can't seem unroot my phone. I followed the youtube vid constantly to every detail but I constantly get get the usb error then I tried doing by powering off my device and turning it on with volume buttons and I constantly get the gives me the 140: bootloader version error. At this point I have no other alternative but to try and return the phone for a new one. If there is any other solution for this problem I would be greatly appreciated because I just want to unroot my phone please.

Have you tried looking that this guide and look for the USB part of the thread?
yea the guide is useless because I constantly get errors and for the ruu, again I will try it but I may get the same result. Rest assure if it happens a few more times I will try to gamble and take it back for a replacement phone.
Do you have HTC Sync installed?
lol, guys like i said before when i made the thread, I have tried most of the options that I have found on the net....yes that includes D/L htc sync. If there is no solution for my case then don't worry bout it becasue I have an appointment to go to sprint store tomorrow. Although I do appreciate the help.

please help with rooting

OK I just bought an Incredible a few days ago and tried my luck at rooting. I did a lot of research before hand and I am usually pretty good with this kind of stuff but obviously not good enough. I have tried everything I can find online but nothing seems to work properly. My phone came with stock 2.2 and I rooted with unrevoked 3. The rooting actually worked fine, there is s-off and I have the super user app, I have even been able to download the tethering app and use it. The main problem is that the Clockworkmod recovery screen does not pop up. No matter what I do, even right after the rooting process, my incredible goes to the HTC screen that is all white then a black bar or two appear on it, followed by a complete black screen with two white edges going down the sides. No green text nothing and then it just boots up normally. I have tried rooting on a mac, Windows xp (via boot camp), on a windows 7 computer. Nothing changes. I just wanna know is there something simple that I am just not doing properly, maybe some sort of setting that needs to get adjusted, I have selected charge only, remember this, and usb debugging. Please let me know if it is the fact that it is stock 2.2 and I have to wait until a new version of unrevoked comes out or am I doing something wrong. The phone works fine and everything for the time being but I want to be able to overclock, undervolt, remove bloatware, etc. I greatly appreciate any help that someone could give me. I am to the point of trying to find someone local and paying them, but it seems like no one nearby even knows how to do this or just has an iphone and can jailbreak that...lol....
Completely power down the phone. Hold down the volume button and power on. You should be in HBOOT. Select Recovery. Or use adb and enter adb reboot recovery. If noe of those work, install ROM Manager and tell it to flash Clockwork, then tell it to reboot into recovery.
That's a known problem with the new Incredibles shipping with SLCDs. Search around for info pertaining to that.

[Q] Get information out of a s3 with broken screen and doesn't respond to touch.

Hello!
I have tried to search many sites and a lot on XDA, with no luck finding a solution to my problem.
My S3's screen is broken(all black, can't use touch).
Now, is there anyone who know a way to get information(contacts, pictures, messages) out from a S3, while not being able to use the screen?
I do not have an SD-Card.
I THINK debugging is off(unfortunately).
I have tried download mode(not sure if it is even possible in any way, but just tried it).
I have tried Kies.
I can see the phone on my computer, but when I access the folder, nothing is there.
If anyone got any solution that might work, I would really appreciate it.

What you would want to do is go thru recovery. I do not believe stock recovery would work here so youll need to flash a custom one. Without being able to see the screen this will be a tad challenging but possible. PM me and i can guide you through it

[Q] Can someone help me who is using pdroid?

I'm trying to install pdroid but I can't get the patch installed! I made a patch on my PC and install it but when I reboot my phone it locks just before it shows the little blue Guy skateboarding on cyanongenmod. I'm running HTC 4g 2.3.7 cyanogenmod 7.2.0. On my old 4g evo I remember I was able to use pdroid with the custom patch that was available at the time, but now it don't work at all. I thought maybe it was the rom so I tried several but the same thing happens. It locks to a black screen! Can somebody please help me out and tell me what I'm doing wrong? I emailed developer but didn't get a response. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you

Is there anything I can do?? Locked bootloader R800x, rooted.

Hello. I've rooted my Verizon Xperia Play, but I can't unlock my bootloader. I've checked the service menu, I don't have the ROOTING STATUS menu, and the Flashtool identifies BOOTLOADER STATUS:UNROOTABLE.
I've tried Sony's unlock site but my MEID contains letters whilst the website states it has to be numeric. I've used the S1tool with the TP method and S1tool appears to hang, with the green bar along the bottom freezing after the "usb connected" noise plays; but if I unplug the usb I get an error, so I know the application didn't crash. I don't know if I'm letting go of the contact, or even if I'm doing it correctly because almost all pictures of the TP method are gone. I also don't know how long the S1tool TP procedure should take, and I've (or I think) held the contact for 15 minutes without any prompt or change in the program.
I don't know what to do now, or does this simply imply a sealed fate? Is it just not possible for me to unlock my bootloader?
I really need to partition my storage and ram but apparently can't without an unlocked bootloader.
(wrote all this with on-screen keyboard, sorry about errors/confusion)
Any help is deeply and sincerely appreciated!!
Thanks Again,
From a Newbie
haha I didn't think anyone would be in the same boat as me, let alone within the same year
I've been scouring the web for probably a good 5 hours on this and I'm stuck right where you are. By some miracle, I was able to find all the files I need for CM9, the flash tools, Gapps, and etc.
I also was able to get it rooted, and in dt674's guide I'm stuck on step 15. Fastboot recognizes my device and all the files but when I try to send the recoveryPLAY.img it returns the "FAILED" error and tells me that it has to be rooted first... Even though it already is rooted... I would assume it would have to do something with the bootloader still being locked, and like you, the Sony website didn't accept my MEID code for not being entirely numerical... If I find anything else out though I'll keep in touch.
I'm in the same boat as you guys... Managed to get my R800X rooted by flashing to 2.3.3 then using the oneclick method, but I've got the same issue with the bootloader and the numerical MEID.
Honestly given the Xplay's age I think we're pretty much SOL and too late to the party when trying to look for support on this device. Most of the ROM links are dead, and the more supported/popular ones are for the GSM models, and the ones that still have their files hosted require an unlocked bootloader at that. Unless one of you guys has a magical solution for why our MEID's are messed up I'm stuck on 2.3.3 for now. At least I can still sideload mostly everything I need.
Yeah I'm pretty sure zzkoto is right lol. Just too damn old haha, so we're SOL.
I have reached out to the developer site support though, and I'm trying to get them to investigate the problem regardless. I've only gotten one email back in...a two month time period about? So we'll see what happens. Apparently they updated their site and fixed the problem... but it's still broke for me. Will post if I get any juicy details from them, or they email me about any fixes with the MEID errors on the site.
LADS, so they HAVE fixed their website, it's just at a new URL, and they haven't decommissioned the old one yet for some reason, which can be found in this very hyperlink.
And it works great, I got my code after inputting my MEID, shoved that into an ADB string and ka-blammo it's unlocked no problem.
Now I'm running LuPuS Kernal with CM9, but now I'm hitting a brick wall where the darn Wifi won't even bother to turn on (when it did with stock before) which I guess is a problem with R800x and the Play in general... Back to the drawing board lol.... Think I'm gonna scrap the CM9... Anyone Come across any good Kernal/Rom combos that make the Xperia Play a lean mean Emulation Machine? I'm feeling some classic PS1 MGS lately...
Alright here's one last update, just in case y'all have the same problem as me with Wifi.
I went back to stock 2.3.4 and my recovery Kernal, and Wifi worked again, so I decided to try something different. Installed DoomLords 2.3.3 Kernal v01 (the only download that worked on that page). Then after booting into recovery, I restored into Cola v6. After that I installed DoomLords wifi modules zip in CWM and boom wifi works again, and Play works completely as intended. Only hang up now is that the Android Market won't let me download anything because it's so old, but It's easy to get the apk's on my other phone and move and install them. Other than that it's incredible. Happy hacking y'all.
Great find on that bootloader fix mate, I'll have to look into that and getting some custom ROMs/kernals installed.
For the market not working, Google discontinued support for the old Android Marketplace services or something back in early 2017. But if you install the latest 2.3 compatible version of the Google Play Store, Google services should be back up and running with modern-ish apps.
Here's the link: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-6-2-02-release/
Yo I figured it was something like that haha but I was overthinking it way too much. Thanks for the link to the Market, now I'm gonna go ham and get ALLL the emulators lol. Retro games here I come!
