can't download anything from Market with wifi..

Just updated JF1.41. Everything seemed perfect, but I found I couldn't download anything from Market, and couldn't see any clips from your tube either. I am able to see the previews in both...it's odd. If I changed wifi to GPRS, everything went back to good..I really did some modificaitons on IM. But even I copied back the original files, the problem still existed..I don't know if I can flash the official build back to fix this??

for me it works with jf 1.4.1. the only issue I have so far is that snapphoto does not recognize my sd anymore (see my other thread).

Before going crazy and flashing back to RC29, try doing a full wipe and see if that fixes the problem.

Agreed. flashing the nbh is a bit.. extreme . Additionally, flashing the nbh is riskier than wiping or re-applying the JFv1.41 update. Flashing the nbh could potentially brick your phone, doing a wipe or re-applying the JFv1.41 update doesn't touch the bootloader, so it is much much safer.

I had to reboot my phone before downloading anything from the market but I think it was because of bad reception. I say first reboot it, if it doesn't help -wipe it.

I found that I had to log into Gmail to setup the phone and log into the market via GPRS and download one program before I could download reliably via WiFi.

Actually, I had done the wipe and re-applied the JFv1.41 update many times, but that didn't work for me. I knew I did something wrong, but I just didn't know how to undo what I had done...What I had done is that I deleted [email protected]@[email protected], and applied another version of this file in order to make my MSN work with others carriers except Tmobile in GRPS mode.

Anyone else with this problem on ADP1.1? I cannot even access the internet with WIFI any longer. I have deleted NOTHING, done a wipe, and prior to installing anything, tested it again. No dice

maybe a silly question, but those help me too, sometimes...
did you re-enter your wifi settings? they are wiped, too.

I was about to smack you upside the head (interwebz style) but I have done stupid stuff before like that and realized it would be unjustified. Yes, my settings are all good. I am connecting with WPA-PSK

I don't think it has a lot to do with the 1.41 biuld. I'm still using 1.31 and just recently I've started having this same issue. I have no clue why this is happening, all used to work fine about 1 1/2 weeks ago????

D2G Dec 2010 update

Update just got pushed to my D2G.
Find it here on megaupload ... I can't post URLs yet, so sorry about the format.
www[dot]megaupload[dot]com/?d=R7THKZ2V
Blur_Version.2.4.29.A956.Verizon.en.US.zip
(I guess the name of the file is the currently installed one. The date of the file was today, and the contents mention 2.4.330)
I had root when I updated, and the update succeeded ... however I lost root after the update.
z4root re-established root.
Versions after update are:
System version: 2.4.330.A956.Verizon.en.US (new)
Android version: 2.2
Baseband version: N_01.48.05R (new)
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-g9e2c63d (new)
PRL version: 52169

great thanks for that i have been looking for this bc i cant get the update over wifi only afaik, have you tried using z4root after the update?

Yes - z4root works fine after the new update.

I just downloaded the update OTA and tried to install it, i got an update failed message not sure why. Do you have to restore the phone to factory settings (unroot) before you can install the update?
I watched my phone try and install it this time and an icon appeared on the sceeen that looked like a cigarette box with an arrow coming out of it.. what does this mean? haha

i wouldnt think you would have to do a hard reset before you do the update

Mine was rooted, but I had not changed any of the standard packages.
The only thing I used root for was to underclock it for slightly better battery life.
If you have removed/replaced any packages on the phone, you probably need to restore them back to the system default again. A device wipe might not even fix that as the packages will still be the replaced versions.

Hmm i froze a bunch of programs with titanium back and up and renamed a few things with root explorer , perhaps this is why.

Official OTA update from VZW will always fail if you have changed anything at all in the system directory. The updater script has checksum routines for all parts of the system and must be completely stock or it won't work.
This is true for all new Motorola phones from VZW.

^^^ that is exactly the case! Restore all stock and try again.
Being rooted will not fail the update, but altering anything in /system will.

Ok hmm i have made various restore points with rom manager since starting, im just not sure how to restore my backups? Where do you go within the rom manager directory?

I deleted some stock apps would a hardreset restore them? So I could do the update

No, hardreset will not bring the deleted stock apps back. You need to manually restore them.

Hmm anyone on how to restore your old back ups using rom manager? .. i cant seem to find a decent guide

Anybody noticing lower call volume since the update?

with koush's bootstrap recovery it's just reboot into recovery. go to backup and restore and choose your backup to restore. If you only have Rom manager you might be out of luck because afaik it's recovery doesn't work on the D2, D2G, or DX.

My wifes droid 2 global had lots of apps frozen. Update installed fine from OTA. Lost root, havn't tried to reroot yet.

Help!!! Shift is making me sick!!!

I NEED YOUR HELP!!!
I have a Shift that is making me sick
Here is the dilema:
I am able to perm root the phone but I cannot for the life of me get it to take a custom rom. I also cannot get the phone to revert to stock. I have tried RUU, I have tried PG06IMG.ZIP ... I have searched left and right, day and night .. I am ready to chuck this phone at the next person I see walking down the street!!!
I don't know what to do I just want to be able to flash custom roms and if I need to return to stock .. but I can't. All it does is go back to stock rom but it does not wipe any of my data, it stays unlocked and my banner stays the same. I have noticed my PRL keeps changing from what I have flashed, which is fine this one seems to be better.
Also it seems as if my recovery is not wiping dalvic and there is no stock recovery .. which maybe normal. I have tried everything I can think of .. any suggestions besides blind siding an innocent bystander with this hunk of junk!!??
Running 2.2 on 1.17.651.1
I just want to return to stock so I can start all over and try to get this to run customs.. at least. But before you say flash this PG06IMG.ZIP (234mbs) or RUU .. please note that I have tried. Unless yours has magical powers I have flashed it. It won't work.. I have tried factory reset, format all except sd card... I might just try that for the hell of it. Please help

***UPDATE****
I WAS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY SETUP ... IF YOU ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND ARE HAVING TROUBLE LIKE I WAS.
HERE IS THE SOLUTION:
Make sure you have the latest recovery. I had clockwork 2.0.5 I think was the version, it was not wiping dalvic or something this is what was causing all my hair to fall out.
I downloaded Rom manager and flashed clockwork recovery, the recovery now is updated to version 5.0 or something like that. I can now say it works and saved some poor innocent person from being pegged in the back of the head from a flying shift .. XD

The problem is all newer ROMs use Amend scripting which CWM prior to 3.0 doesn't support.

New 3.2 update bootlooping?

OK, weird one this. Downloaded the update with no issues, it installed ok, it went to android recovery and then rebooted after a few mins into my homescreen. All good! - Then after about 5 seconds it said shutting off.. it then went through the whole updating procedure again. Ok no probs i thought, it needs 2 reboots.. fine.
However it has now done this 5 times!! and counting..I guess thats not right.. so how the hell do i stop it? lol
edit: managed to get quick view of "about tablet" and its still showing as 3.1 so the update is not applying.. i wonder why?

Are you rooted? That would be why. It's not advisable to accept an OTA update when your system has been altered. Unlocked is ok, just not rooted/modded.
If you are rooted and have a nandroid backup from before the update, try to restore from there. If not, boot into fastboot and restore to your model's original stock image (from motodev) then let the OTA updates bring you up to 3.1 and then 3.2. Re-install CWM Recovery, and re-root after that with solarnz' Universal Xoom Root and go from there.
If you're not rooted and your system is just continually rebooting, you should still try the fastboot/restore stock images procedure. There may be something easier, but I'll let someone else advise you on that.
Good luck!

Appreciate the help. No i am not rooted but i certainly dont want to restore a stock image as i will lose everything! Its nothing that cant be restored but why should i go through the hassle after accepting an OTA update if it doesnt work!
Currently now on my 16th reboot! - Getting fed up now...
Any ideas on how to apply this update ok?.. or at least stop it! lol

I can't think of any way to resolve this that doesn't involve a wipe of some kind. Have you checked any other Moto/Xoom forums to see if anyone else had the same problem?
My condolences on the irritating situation and the potential loss of your stuff. Actually, a good reason to root is that you can back everything up!

Well i took the plunge and wiped by unlocking. Cured the bootlooping (obviously), and so then thought - why not root aswell
All done and running Tiamat 2.2 and very happy!
Appreciate the help peeps..

TWRP fails after update

So guys, yesterday I updated twrp (cwm) on my i9505 and everything worked fine.
this afternoon i suddenly couldnt use my phone anymore because i got systemui fc's messages every 3 seconds.
i reflashed the rom, cleaned cache +dalvik but it still wouldnt work.
so i thought: hey, you did a complete backup yesterday, why not use that.
well, seems that this didnt work out so well.
its always telling me failed when trying to restore either /system or /data (boot and efs works fine).
i dont exactly know whether i made the backup before or after the update, but either way i do think that it SHOULD NOT be a problem (im looking at you, devs)
do you guys have any idea on how i can possibly use my old backups? i downgraded again but it still says failed everytime
any help will be greatly appreciated.
oh and yes, i did use the search, but all suggestions that help didnt with me

hi.
i'm not a pro/dev, but by flashing rom or restoring backup i think you are missing a point.
i think, you need stock recovery too to have phone fully reset. in case you flash Stock rom i think it also flashes stock recovery too. but incase not, the old recovery and changes you made to custom recovery are still there. so you maybe is facing that problem.
as i mentioned above that i'm not pro/dev, so again just trying to find the exact problem/point maybe you are missing or i could be wrong too. all i mean is that updated recovery is still there. see in case you can flash stock recovery and stock/custom rom again. i hope you get the point/idea what i mean to say. try it and i think you'll not get the error.
but do not do anything in case you are not sure/aware about what you are doing.
i hope it help.

no, i dont need the stock recovery to fully reset it. trwp can do that too.
actually my point was that it denies to restore that backup and i have no goddman clue why.
(so nothing about roms or so, all that works perfectly fine)

ok i fixed it, it seems like the last backup i made was faulty so i just took an older backup. never had an issue like this before
