[Q] A bit of help

---

So after doing some edits and removing the AT&T bloatware the phone stopped wanting to allow me to add apps. Even though I had 20MB free. My phone now reboots when I put the SD card in.

So I decided to do a factory reset which worked fine but now I'm stuck on the first screen of the android set up. now the screen is just black with the taskbar at the top and the words "setup" right below it but no android icon in the center, and the emergency button is absent on the bottom.

I googled and found out that if you touch the 4 corners in a clockwise pattern this is suppose to bypass the setup and just go straight to your home screen. well this is a no-go.

The phone receives call fine and the screen is responsive when I slide the taskbar down. also when I plug it into my comp the motosuite boots up and works fine as well.

So any suggestions on how to get past this or how I can just reflash the phone?

It sounds like you don't have a launcher...

How to fix... i'm not so sure...
Maybe a forum search?

Cant you just go to android market on your computer and send a launcher to your phone that way? It automatically installs for you and if you are able to open the notification bar you should then be able to launch it to make it your default. Hope this helps.

The issue is i'm stuck on the very first screen of the phone. you know when you first power one up for the first time and set up gmail and everything else. well mins is stuck on the first screen so i can't get to market to download it.

If it is stuck on the setup it doesn't sound like a launcher problem. I can get the launcher off my phone if you want it but I know after I did a NON SBF update (using android recovery) mine got stuck on the MotoBlur setup and would freeze at 95% or so no matter if it was signing into my old account or creating a new one. I had to do an SBF flash for it to work. Not sure what the problem was but using update.zip looked like it was fine but it screws something up in it.

I'd gladly flash it again, but the snare is I don't have debugging mode on and with that black screen I can't get to it. I even hunted for Hotkeys to get into settings. So any possibility to get the phone into debugging mode without going through settings?

You can follow this guide located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=17042497

Flipside Bootloader Mode - Restore with SBF File
To put the Flipside into bootloader mode:

Open the keyboard
Press and hold the up arrow key (to the left of the OK key)
Hold the power button down
Release both buttons after about 4 seconds
You should see a display that says:

Bootloader
91.2B (If you already went to Froyo then this number is going to be like 91.7 I think)

Battery Ok
OK to Program
Connect to USB
Data Cable

This mode is for flashing an sbf file (ROM) to your phone using RSDLite.

RSD Lite version 4.9 works with the Flipside

I have received info from a reliable source that downgrading the Flipside from the not-yet-released Froyo upgrade using the available SBF files will brick your AT&T phone.

I do not have personal knowledge of this, but I trust my source.

Then just download the SBF listed on that post. Let me know if you are confused. I've done this about 3 times now on my phone. I keep screwing around with it and reflashing it.

Thanks, I'll try that again, I've actually already tried that but RS lite doesn't seem to read my phone. but I had that issue before and I know I have to use and older version instead of 4.9. Hopefully it'll work

Thats odd. I know I just bought our phones but they came with 2.1 and it worked just fine with it. I've upped to froyo now but I never had problems. Only had problems doing the update and doing a factory reset. After doing them I needed to do the SBF. Only thing that fixed mine.
