Motorola Droid :: 3G Logo Gone When Calling?
Aug 5, 2010It just hit me now (I'm at work right now and I left my home, but as of last night,I was still on 2.1) but is the 3G signal supposed to disappear when you're on a phone call?

View 6 RepliesI have not really found any threads in these forums deticated just to overclocking the Droid. I am running BB v.9 and would like to overclock past 600 mhz. I have 2 overclocking utilities. (Setcpu, and overclock widget) I understand that I have to update or flash the Kernel. I tried doing this OverClocking Motorola Droid To 1.3 GHz In 7 Easy Steps | areacellphone.com
The adb commands were successfull. WHen I rebooted my droid it was bricked (well not really cause I did a Nandroid backup right before I did this) It was just frozen with the white Motorola logo. Perhaps I downloaded a bad 800 mhz evilboot8.img.
This is to change the motorola logo that you see when you boot your phone to a custom image. This is separate from the boot animation seen afterwards.Tools/files you will need:
1) RSD Lite
2) droid sbf
3) SBFCodec
4) Photoshop (or paint, or whatever drawing program)
5) Hex editor (frhed is free and very easy to use)
NOTE: I do not use sbf-recall because it complains about needing version 1.3, so I use SBFCodec instead.Steps:
1) Run SBFCodec and open up the sbf file. This will extract all the smg files and header files.
2) Using photoshop, create an image that is 480 pixels wide and 182 pixels tall. Each color should be assigned 8 bits (1 byte), or in paint, just make a 24 bit bmp file. Mirror the image, making the left become the right, and the right becoming the left. Save as a bmp file (photoshop method).
3) Using a hex editor, open up your image and erase the first 54 bytes of data. (and possibly the last 2 bytes of data if you used photoshop. the number of bytes remaining should be exactly 262,080) With the remaining data, reverse the bytes. (using frhed, the option is in the edit menu->Reverse bytes)
4) Using a hex editor, open up the CG42.smg file created in step 1 and erase all data except the last 64 bytes of data (these 64 bytes of data should be FF's in the file). Then paste in the remaining data from step 3 to the beginning of the file and save. Your final file should be exactly 262,144 bytes large.
5) Go back to the SBFCodec window and save (this creates the sbf) the sbf file and name it whatever you want. i.e. boot.sbf
6) Using RSD Lite, flash this sbf to your phone. It may take 5-10 minutes for the flashing to complete. (after the 10 minutes, it might say "failed", just click on the show device button once that happens and you'll have succeeded)You now have a stock phone with a custom boot image. Go ahead and root your phone and stuff. Sorry for the difficult instructions, this was the only approach I could think of to edit the boot logo.
I installed a custom bootlogo a while back, but my phone is giving me hardware trouble (keyboard and audio jack) so I will have to eventually have it replaced.I was wondering if anyone had the original "M" bootlogo, or could direct me to where I can find it.

Any ideas on what to do other than take it back to Verizon tomorrow?
Anyone have or know where I can get the logo for the for the Superuser Permissions app? I think it would be a cool avatar to have of the little guy with the gun

View 5 Replies View RelatedI was messing around with clockwordmod recovery and did something I shouldn't have. I am not deodexed, but I heard that you could apply some of the rom modifications without any problems. So I did one, and it was ok. I decided to try a different one and thats when I ran into a problem. My phone is stuck at the M logo now and I am not sure how to fix it. I could have sworn that i made a recovery before I installed the .zip but when i went in to try to recover it said there was nothing there. My one savior is that I have the SBF file I need, but I am on a mac so I can not use at the moment and would like to avoid this at all costs. Does anyone have any suggestions for me or will I need to SBF? Also, i have not let it sit at the M logo for an extremely long period of time, is it possible that it will pull around and start to load properly or is there definitely a problem?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just finished updating my wifes Droid X to 2.2 (rooted) moved SU etc.. the phone boots completely (I can ADB in and it makes noise) however it only shows the M logo. I cant boot into recovery and the only way to make it boot is to adb reboot-bootloader anyone know WTF is going on here? I've never seen anything like this before!
View 11 Replies View RelatedSo I DL'd then installed 2.2, that went fine. It rebooted and it stays on the M logo. I can hear the "droid" where it boots but it stays on the logo
I've tried pulling the battery, even for 5-6 mins, going into system recovery mode and clearing cache and still the same thing.
Not sure what to do here. I hear it's some sort of boot-loop error?
Left battery out for 10-15 mins and now it boots fine. Phew
I rooted my X so I could take screenshots. I saw all the hoopla over the new froyo release, and figured I'd try it. Well, now I'm bricked or stuck in endless boot, whichever, and can't get past the Motorola Logo. What can I do? I plug my phone into my pc and it doesnt even recognize it. I keep seeing people telling others to flash the .sbf, but I don't even know what that means.
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo I decided to hijack the "Red Rage" boot animation and use it as the base of my animation. Mine just has some Georgia Bulldog love to it. Also I have modified my boot logo and no longer have the "M" its now a lot nicer. I will include the bootanimation.zip in case anyone wants this. Just place it in the /data/local/ folder. Do not Unzip it, leave it how it is. If you have another one there just rename it with a .bak extension in case you don't like mine. Its stretched a little vertically, not sure why not too noticeable tough.

I have a droid here I bought from a friend, he said his dad found it in his office at work or something, I gave him $80 for the phone. It's in GREAT looking condition, basically brand new, he said he didn't have a charger for it so he doesn't know if it works. Anyhoo, I plugged in the micro-usb cable to my computer and plugged it into the droid...
The screen lit up (like the backlight turned on, but still a black screen) for maybe 8 seconds but didn't show a logo, then it shut off, and then the light next to the charger plug is glowing white. Tried turning it on again with the pwr button, did the same thing. I cannot get it to turn on. I tried the X+Power but it still just turns on to a black screen.
Motorola's website says its warranty is good till June 2011, should I just have them repair it? Or can I take it to verizon and get a refurb replacement ?... PRobably not because i'm not a verizon customer, I'm on alltel with my Droid Eris right now, I was planning on provisioning this phone to alltel. Hmm, suggestions before I mail it off?
So I followed the droid-life.com method to get SPRecovery on my stock 2.1 droid.
Everything went fine, I had SPRecovery and I was going to try to get root access using this ESE81update.zip created by pete and following this method...

I was attempting to get get 2.2 working on my phone and when i rebooted its now stuck on the motorola logo, any help would be appreciated, i need my phone functional for work in the am.
View 9 Replies View Relatedwhen i plug in the usb charger or connect it to my car dock. When i plug it in, the phone reboots and goes to the droid logo/droid eye screen and hangs there. I have to pull the battery to turn it off and back on again. Once it reboots it doesn't seem to have a problem connecting, but after that and a f ew hours of usage it happens again when i plug it back in. I installed a lot of apps using appbrain recently and i feel like it started doing that after i installed them.
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy X is stuck on the M logo. I cannot seem to get the right driver installed for rsdlite to see the phone. I am just trying to sbf back to a working phone.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI picked up a brand new Droid X, turned it on, got it all setup, and it downloaded my apps that I used to have on my old Droid. Then I rebooted it after all the apps were installed and updated, and now it will not move past the Motorola logo screen.
Searching around the internet I have found others that ran into this issue, but they were always rooting their phones. I also am not able to boot into recovery mode.
I have not rooted it, attempted to root it, or done anything other than as described above.
Is there anything I can do? Or do I have to just head back to Best Buy and demand a replacement unit?
I flashed my phone to 2.0.1 b/c I thought I had to do that. Turns out I didn't, but there is outdated and updated information out there and I was misled. Anyway, 2.0.1 installed fine and it booted up, though my phone wasn't activated. Anyway, then I realized I needed SPRecovery, so I installed the sbf for that using RSD Lite. It installed successfully as far as i can tell? But it did a reboot, and now it's just stuck on the white-background Moto logo while plugged into my USB. RSD Lite says "Please manually power up this phone."

View 2 Replies View RelatedI came across a droid1 theme called Luna Theme. The website from the creator is here: The LUNA THEME for Android - Anthem Of The Sun. I contacted them and basically was told that he doesn't have a droid x to test the theme on and doesn't know the differences between the droid1 and the droid x. If someone who is good at porting themes over to the DX could/wants to port it they can contact him at luna@anthemofthesun.com. I personally would donate to see this come to fruition.

Alright so I was on froyo stock image frg01b rooted. I tried to install nextheme over it. I tried to go into recovery, but got the exclamation point. Went back into froyo, flash the alternative recovery, then flashed back to clockwork. It goes into recovery fine now.
installed a .zip file (the nextheme)
reboot
it hangs on moto logo
Now try to go back into recovery to flash backup. It wont go into CW and now I see an exclamation point. Now I went into the stock recovery menu, wiped data did factory reset. Wiped cache.
reboot
hangs on moto logo
What did I do?
I tried putting stock 2.1 on SD and renamed it update.zip and tried to flash with the stock recovery, but it says failed to access /sdcard .zip and then go back to the (stock) recovery menu. Clockword is gone and so is any and all ROMs.
Anyone else have the Droid call random people on your contacts? Man the other day it dialed someone I really didn't want to talk to. Does it every few days. Does anyone else have this issue?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI don't know if this has been asked before, sorry if its a repeat questions. I'm trying to help out my co-worker, he had a palm treo and now has a Moto Droid. His palm treo would anounce the person's name that was calling, he liked this for when he didnt have his phone near him, he would know who was calling and knew if to rush and get it or not. I'm not a android user YET, I have a Curve and waiting for the Nexus one to go on vzw to do the switch, so I have no idea if this option he's looking for is available for his Droid.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a rooted droid that was running cyanogen mod. I tried to change it back to the default 2.2 ROM through ROM manager, and after flashing the new ROM, it rebooted as normal, the motorola logo pops up, then changes to the default red eye, and hangs there forever.I tried to hold x while booting up, and the icon with the exclamation point inside the triangle floating over the phone shows up, but it just hangs there forever as well, and I can't get a menu to come up.I can get into the bootloader while holding up on the dpad during bootup, and it says "OK to program".Do I have any other option than using SPRecovery (If thats even an option, sorry I'm new to this)?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI was trying to update my ROM from ZapX RC2 to ZapX Bazinga 1.6. I followed the instructions, ran bootstrap and got all the way to "mount system" (after formatting system and cache) and realized I didn't have the update.zip file on the sd card yet. So I hit reboot system. Now I'm stuck with at the M logo. I made a full backup on the sd card, but don't know how to access it since my computer does not recognize my phone.
