Removing Cheesecake - Motorola Atrix 2

OK, I installed Cheesecake after seeing all the signatures asking if I had "checked Cheesecake today?" I had been checking on a regular basis, finding nothing. I came to the realization that I would have no idea what to do with whatever I found anyways, so I decided to remove it. I was unable to find any definitive answers on the forum after several days, so I simply uninstalled it. When I check for updates I get a message saying that it is not available without a Motorola Service Account, then I get this:
Update Failed
In order to complete setup, you need a data connection.
You have the following choices:

Which is followed by 3 choices. It fails when either trying to use the current connection, or when trying to setup a wifi connection, even though I am already connected to the wifi. The third option is to just skip the setup. When I try to skip, it tries to sync my AT&T address book. It will not check for any actual updates. I know that this can happen with Cheesecake installed, but I have now removed it.
I know that there is an update for ICS coming to the Atrix 2, and I would like to be able to get it when the time comes, but until I can get this cleared up, I will not be able to get it. I already tried clearing the cache through Clockwork Mod, as well as doing a "Wipe data/factory reset" using Clockwork Mod. I am using the Stock Rom that came with the phone. What I would like to ask, is how to completely remove this, and return it to normal? As you can probably tell, I am still a noob to this, so if I left any information out that would help, please ask.

No problem. You should be okay just to remove the Cheesecake .apk from your phone and reboot. I think that'll take care of deleting everything, and revert back to the 'normal' OTA server service built-in to the phone. Can anyone else confirm?

Had the same problem once, and i had to reinstall cheesecake, switch to production and then uninstall cheesecake to get it working.

Not quite, it actually edits a defaults.xml somewhere in .... wait. I'll find it and edit this post.. you would need to change that to match stock (I think I posted the exact file and edits somewhere on here), or you might get by by changing to the Production server in cheesecake one last time, then uninstalling.. edit#1: yes, what Fall of said..
Edit#2: it's the defaults.xml in /system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.service.blur folder...

Thanks for the help. I reinstalled cheesecake, and set it back to the production server, now it is working normally again.

[Q] HTC OTA update link from logcat?

Does anyone have the link to the OTA GB update for the HTC Inspire 4g? I'm not talking about the full download release from HTC site, I mean the ota update that doesn't wipe the phone. It should have it in a logcat from the phone when it prompts you to update. Just search your logcat for http and it should have the whole address. Can you please post it here for me.
Thanks
From aLogcat on my phone:
EDIT: This is for 1.80.502.3!
How would one go about installing this file manually?
I would assume you rename it to update.zip and install from stock recovery. I haven't tried though.

I posted the file for the stock Inspire ROM (pre-April update). I wouldn't install it on 1.84.
Wow, I'm full of fail today. Renaming it to update.zip doesn't work.
LOL. Yeah well you had a working theory. I assume that the OP may know how to do this, since he asked for it, and then didn't ask how to install it.
Word to the wise, when the phone is not wiped during an upgrade mainly from 2.2 to 2.3 issues can arise. I know "I dont want to have to set everything up again." Well would you rather do that or spend days trying to figure out why you have issues just to be told to do a wipe and reflash. I will never flash an OTA as all it takes is one millisec of the DL to be interupted to corrupt the DL and cause issues.
Just a thought

updating the market

So I just got and activated this phone 2 days ago. for some reason, the Market app will not update itself. idk why, it's always doen that on my phones automatically before. in fact, when I just gave my friend my old discontinued 600Mhz LG Ally, It auto updated the Market only minutes after he signed in. what could be causing this?
Dunno - This device hasn't updated the market on my end either, had to do it manually.
You can see my sig 'how to script a market update' for info on how to write a system update to put a new market version on, or in the thread you can download the pre-made package. The version is a bit older now, but thereafter it'll automatically update itself like normal.
I believe this is something on Google's end, where they rolled out updating to the new market by product model - I know they were messing with my Nook Color for a while and it was a pain in the ... to get the market to work in any kind of decent capacity for a while. I'd assume they just haven't gotten to forcing an update on Google's end for our phone.
I used to hate having to swap to the new market, and stubbornly tried to keep the old market for as long as I could - but the new one has grown on me and now I prefer it.
I hated the new market when it first came out on my Sidekick, but not because of the style. I hated how buggy and glitchy it was, constantly force closing and screwing up downloads. Made me curse the hell out of Google all the time for not testing their crap. but once they released a few more updates, all of that stopped. took a few months though.
Seriously, it was just awful. there were times I would just leyt my phone sit there for hours while plugged in, having not touched it or turned on any apps literally for many hours. then all of a sudden, the phone would do a "bzz, Bzzbzzbzz" which is a feature Samsung made to let you know something crashed. sure enough, it would be the market, which I never even opened but somehow managed to randomly find an error to crash itself with.
Root your phone and update it manually. The new Market format actually got better after multiple tries by Google.

I actually just downloaded the .apk from Android Community. I'm wondering though, it it safe to install? I'm not rooted yet, probably won't find the time til the end of the week with finals. I'm wondering about whether installing will cause me to not get further market updates once they're out..

If you want to stay local I made a flashable market in this thread a while ago:

It's attached to the bottom of the first post (which explains in detail how to make your own).
If you flash the dark_market file, it will auto-update after the first time you open it and from then forward.
Thanks for the help, and not rooted tho, but thanks for both quick responds ;-) so those are they only ways to update them correct?

Well, the market is a system app, and the only way to mess with those is to have root that I know of...
Unless you can flash an insecure boot partition somehow and then get adb remount access...

[Q] Atrix 2 - Wont load and tried everything!

This is my first post so please bear with me. I searched and searched and tried everything and havent been able to do this.
After rooting atrix 2, went to delete some bloatware...think i accidentally deleted something crucial (as most noobs do I am sure ). Now the phone will not boot fully - it gets stuck at the moto emblem in a kind of boot loop. Just going to give you info about what I have done so far:
Once i boot after a hard reset- in recovery mode tried to install stock rom. Did not work. This is because it said E:Signature did not get verified. ALSO pls note that I do not have cwm or any other custom boot program - so I am unable to see any uncheck the e signature option. I tried to find any rom which might have a signature so i can get that and then put the stock on subsequently - no good so far - of the mere 2-3 roms I found all showed the same problem with E-signature.
I tried to see if I could install cwm. I installed sdk tools on my computer - however I dont know how to install cwm without phone being fully on. Nor can I find a file for the Atrix 2 to do it. The ones I found were the bootstrap ones in .apk files which i dont know how to install on bootlooping phone.
Spoke to some android pros - tried the suggestions above they gave me and nothing so far. I think it was android phone portal that I accidentally removed...
Also note that I am in India and my stock rom is the India version NOT the AT&T/Verizon.
Im a bit scared to use the RSDLite application as I am not proficient with the workings of that software and I dont want to cause any more damage.
Is there any rom for atrix 2 that has a valid E:Signature? Is there any way to bypass this on stock bootloader. I repeat I do NOT have clockwork..Only options are to Reboot, Install package from SD, Format and Clear Cache.
PLEASE HELP...as a last draw will take to the service center...this phone is only 1 month old so I dont want to risk losing warranty (
Have you tried flashing an FXZ as in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650
Sorry just re-read your post see you are in India and not on AT&T version.
Your best chance is to use RSD Lite to flash the stock Indian ROM. Here is the whole list of known fxz's for the A2. The Indian Retail ROM is "5.5.1-EDEM-27-SEARET."
When you first try to flash, it might error out depending on if you are on the latest update for your firmware. If so, just post the screenshot of the error it gives.
Do you think maybe i can flash it to this at&t firmware and then install cwm and then restore to india stock flash as with cwm i would be able to bypass signature authentication?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Yes, you can do it that way, but it is rather indirect way of doing it. The easiest thing to do is flash the Indian firmware with RSD Lite.
yes i tried that but for some reason rsd lite does not detect my device (yes i have downloaded all relevant drivers).
And now whats worse :
I used moto-fastboot to flash the system files and i got the dreaded low battery fail. As expected this has caused Flash Mode (S) Flash Failure - is this mean its beyond repair by me? If there is a way please let me know.
As of now i have connected it to the wall charger hoping that by tomorrow morning I should have battery for me to try again (I tried again after a half hr or so of battery charging and it didnt work - gave the same error)...
Worst case Ill take it to the service center - would they be able to repair it does anyone think? Is this something they will do? (I understand warranty might be void)...
Please tell me I'm fretting big time...I cant afford a new phone
Oh and I tried with the Indian rom too but didnt work again coz rsdlite didnt register my phone connected despite drivers being installed.
Tutorial videos were hard to find but atrix 4g and original atrix show the boot mode as RSD protocol boot mode....this is not to be found on my atrix 2 boot mode - only thing is AP Fastboot - maybe its the same I do not know...
Also another question - will my phone battery charge when phone is connected to wall charger while the persistent flash failure Fastboot is showing on screen...
If all fails I really hope the service center can repair this...this is possible right?

^^ this is your best bet at a fix. Once your battery is high enough, RSD Lite should detect your phone (I'm assuming that that's why it doesn't show up in RSD but it does in fastboot).
alright seems a bit mechanical...probably a last resort...
are you saying the battery will not charge when connected to the wall charger though?
Also if i do it the way the thread says...how long do i keep it connected?

Its always best to freeze unwanted apps, rather than deleting. Also, if you re-root, there's several roms that are de-bloated already.

Be vary wary of TIB....
It is best to just freeze anything with something like eazy freezy in market, and backup everything with CWM.
TIB was great, maybe 3 years ago before CWM was the thing. It has not innovated and the things it does can break things a lot... I bought it a long time ago, and I have not liked using it in over 2.5 years now. I stopped loading it last year, when it would give erreranous errors about incorrect permissions, and fail to restore things correctly, and using it to remove and "freeze: things tends to cause more FCs than I care to count.....
There are several on the Atrix2 forum that have seen these same issues, and have even been soft bricked by TIB.

I didn't realize there was such issues with TB... I haven't really used it for freezing, but new it held that option to do so. I've used to backup apps so as to not have to re-download my apps each time after flashing new roms. Is there something better for this purpose?
CWM backs up everything, like rom and apps and so forth, right? What about just backing up apps only?

Backing up and restoring apps can be risky when flashing ROMs. You are best to use the option with the market/play to backup what apps you have installed, then when you install a new ROM, and sign into the market/play, it should download and install all the apps you had before. I have had the best success with this.

REALLY? Man, i'm kinda with apex on this one. I have never had any issues with TIB.
Guess the primary reason I like it over the store restore is that it restores all apps. Even the ones not on the store. IE: Cheesecake. It also restores all system settings like text messages, settings, stored passwords. wifi/bluetooth settings. Everything.
However, I trust your wisdom Jim. I will be wary of its usage in the future. Just saying I haven't ran into it... Yet.

How to disable update notification

Hey guys,
First off, I am an admitted noob. From what I can tell, updating to 2.20/4.04 will un-root your device so I'm looking for a way to disable the update notification. Is there a way to get it to stop bugging me until 2.20 is rooted?
Also, how do upgrades generally work when you're rooted and want to maintain root?
Thanks!
Hey mine was bugging me and I just cleared the data for updater and it hasn't bugged me for the last two days.
Settings > Apps > All > Updater
Then clear everything you can (cache,data)
Good luck

To flash a rom you need to unlock the bootloader which will wipe all user data not your sd card just data.
Sent from my Nocturnalized Beast
Normally with OTAs, after the OTA is downloaded, you will have the option to install or not. Just cancel, then delete the file from the SD card. Somebody will have to verify this is the case (haven't gotten the notification, personally), but that is normally how HTC does it. You have to be really careful not to hit the wrong option. But once you've cancelled the install, you won't get any more notifications for this particular OTA.
Really, the "settings" method suggested by footbal9584 seems much safer (as a wrong button press will actually install the OTA for my way). But if his method doesn't work, you might try mine.
Also, all the info you will probably ever need about unlocking the bootloader, flashing ROMs, etc. can be found in my Index thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
There you will find a method for keeping your user data while doing the bootloader unlock. But honestly, I'd recommend not going through the hassle. If you intend to flash custom ROMs, you should wipe data anyway.

Nandroid is a full backup of the ROM, all user data, apps, and settings. If you are flashing custom ROMs, that is not what you want for restoring user data, etc. But its a good idea to do a nandroid backup of the stock ROM, in case you want to go back.
Titanium Backup is great for backing up user apps, and some settings. Some people use it to restore various settings, but this can be problematic, as all ROMs don't treat this data the same. Personally, I just use Titanium to backup and restore my apps and app save data, and sometimes WiFi and Bluetooth pairings. But I configure everything else manually. Usually takes me about 20 minutes to do it all when moving between ROMs.

Did not work for me -- I started getting chain notifications, hella annoying.
NOTE: even when the only available button is 'Install', the back button on your phone still works.
If I freeze the updater, will it break my phone?
I do not know I highly doubt it would but no guarantees. I cleared my data before it downloaded anything it just started the "there is an update you cannot use tour phone during install do you want to install now" I postponed it 8 hours a few times, but then just cleared the data and still haven't gotten any notifications.
Maybe see of what the other user said is correct maybe the update was downloaded to your phone and you need to remove the file before it will leave you alone.

At least on other devices, if you let the OTA download, then cancel it, it should stop the notifications. Can you confirm or deny this?
You can then just find the file on the internal SD and delete it. At least that is how it worked on the HTC Flyer.
If you can confirm, this would probably be a handy method for others. At least one other person is asking how to cancel the install (and other that want to stop the notifications, I'm sure): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29903041
Update: nevermind I restarted my phone today and ad soon as it booted up I got the is your last time to postpone message so I cleared updater again but now every time I unlock my phone I'm prompted to update and just have to push the back button. Sorry I'll keep looking into it.

Finally got my last chance to postpone. Glad you posted exactly where it was located. Deleted and hopefully it wont update.
Thanks!

Hey mine was bugging me and I just cleared the data for updater and it hasn't bugged me for the last two days.
Settings > Apps > All > Updater
Then clear everything you can (cache,data)
Good luck

Thanks for this info. I went one step beyond that and backed up and uninstalled the updater and updater setup within Titanium Backup. Will report back if anything gets messed up.

[Solved] Stuck In Custom ROM, Odin and CWM Recovery no go's

Alright, I'm hoping I can get some quick useful feedback on this. I'm currently on AOKP Official Milestone 6, and every time I reboot it reverts me settings I had on August 28th. I've been going thru this all day long, Google searching, scanning forums for our device and the T989.
I've attempted Odin flashes 13 times today to go back to Stock Gb and Stock Ics, the flashes show successful, yet AOKP boots right back up. Recovery does nothing to wipe, currently on Clockworkmod Touch Recovery.
Formatting all caches and partitions, Dalvik wipes all 5x each do nothing, even flashing something after this does nothing. I can't even reset AOKP, it takes me right back to the same condition from August 28th, same theme, apps, etc, all there. I've even formatted both emmc and sdcard, nothing. Whatever I do gets overwritten to the previous condition.
Can someone please help me out with this. I'm not even sure what to classify an issue like this as.

you are not the only one who had this issue, its a failure to write to the nand, for the lack of a better word, i have some links in my ref sticky, 1st link in my sig, under the info section on other users who had this problem, one thing i don't think they tried is using adb to push files
edit: damn i forgot to add those posts to my sticky, i/ll search for them and post them up
EDIT: here is one , couldnt find the other one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751338
Thanks a lot man, what exactly causes something like this to happen? Is it Galaxy specific?

it seems to be a ram hardware failure, but unless i had the problem myself, cant rule out user error, dev's write and wipe the phones constantly, and ive only seen it happen to two users.
read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704646 and see if it applies to you.
or you can try to push files through adb if phone accepts an adb connection, never tried it so cant help you there

I don't think it applies 100% to me. I can write to system, it just gets ignored lol. I read that Mightyoj had the exact issue and adb did nothing for him. I'm within my 30 days, I may need to either find another way to hard brick it or call at&t like he did.
Regardless, thanks for your help Vincom.

I remember this issue. The guy who's post you linked to did try adb to no luck. The only thing I can think to try through adb is changing the permissions of emmc? Some one with more knowledge then me might chime in but I'd say
Code:
adb shell
chmod 666 /emmc
That should give read/write to emmc if it will stick. Again you might want to get confirmation on this before attempting it as it is my best guess for your issue. If it's a bad nand you may just be SOL.

There's a thought...hmm

All right, after a few weeks of headache, I thought I'd update this thread as to whats going on.
Sent my phone off to Samsung twice for a fix. Twice due to the support rep not having any clue what the issues were that I was describing to her the first time over, so they sent it back in the same condition as when I sent it to them. Their solution: Applied stock SW.
They didnt even attempt to turn it on to see if the issue was resolved. So fast forward to 3 days after receiving it back and I called Samsung back and carefully worded my problem again and pointed out that I sent it to them before and no solution was found.
So I sent it back off, and 3 days later they called me asking me what exactly was wrong with my phone and I mentioned that it was some issue with the internal memory upon boot that locked everything into a specific setting from August 28th, and that it must be hardware related. She said she would inform the technicians.
So finally, I got my service ticket and the solution they reached was:
Replaced PBA, which is the Print Board Assembly. Looked around on Xda and for the definition and found that a few Samsung devices that were having similar issues as myself and a few others were remedied by replacing it. Currently waiting on them to reship it to me.
So, the "moral" of the story is, if you are within your Manufacturers warranty with Samsung, give Support a call and try as best as you can to explain your problem to them, but dont let them know you're rooted. They are not "supposed" to troubleshoot/fix your issue when rooted. But when they get hands on, they know that the average person that roots would have likely reversed any software issues/damage aside from a brick.
Hopefully this tidbit of information can help future Androidians with Samsung Devices on whats going on and expedite their efforts for a solution. Thanks again to all that were involved
