PDS PARTITION FIX (Screen + Cpu's Frequency Restored)

[Blackn09]

PDS PARTITION FIX.
What is this?

The PDS Fix is for people who are having touch screen/soft button issues and didn't backup their PDS when they first got their phone. It flashes the PDS image from the Atrix Development Kit to fix the issue except your WiFi Mac address, Bluetooth Mac address, IMEI, and a few other things. THIS IS NOT recommended UNLESS you have to.

Choose your version: FroYo(*_v4) or Gingerbread (*_v8)

METHOD 1 (Locked Bootloader)

Extract the .img file.

Here is the code:

adb push pdsfix.img /data/local/tmp
adb shell
su chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/pdsfix.img
dd if=/data/local/tmp/pdsfix.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3
exit
exit
adb reboot

METHOD 2 (Unlocked Bootloader)

You can use these commands in Fastboot mode :

(Obviously remember to place the pds.img in the same folder where you have the moto-fastboot executable)

Here is the code:

moto-fastboot flash pds pdsfix.img
moto-fastboot reboot

PS: IN SOME CASES YOU NEED TO WIPE CACHE.

If wiping thru CWM Recovery does not help try, the following commands to deeply erase thru Fastboot.

Here is the code:

Fastboot getvar boot-mode
Fastboot erase cache
Fastboot reboot

Enjoy

So, to get this straight, this will fix the keypad problems I've been having with my MB860? The V and T keys don't work, for example. Can RSD Lite be used for this procedure?

[Blackn09]

Yes, this will work with that, and no RSD Lite, this works with CMD on Windows.

You listed above that this changes the Wifi Mac and the Bluetooth Mac, but does it change the IMEI aswell?
