[Motorola Droid 3] eis0r:
damn im stuck!

i forgot to backup all the bloatware and the update wont continue without them... anyone able to upload "china number locator.apk" for example?

i guess there'll be some more i need but that's the first i would need to continue...

thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid 3] eis0r:
anyone please?

c'mon... unyaffs won't let me extract the system.img of the xt883 fastboot files.

anyone succeeded doing this yet?

thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] eis0r:
nm, i got it working by re-flashing the 60.2.200 fastboot files, restoring root and then doing the upgrade.

i had to reinstall google apps but that way my contact problem finally got solved, too :)

thanks for all your help!

Root 60.3.250 with

MotoFail --- http://www.4shared.com/zip/0Gpdc25p/motofail_windows.html

Tested & It Works.
[Motorola Droid 3] kapilthio:
I was on 60.3.250, I did a Factory Reset, GSM stopped working as warned in 1st Post.

Had to "AP Fastboot" flash the Phone again to old version & than back to 60.3.250. For CDMA to work, you need OMH UIM / CDMA Card. Uptill now no operator has launched UIM in US, While they are available in China, India, Thailand, Indonesia.

Great!

Thank you:)

Does anyone know if this has a newer baseband included? The XT883 radio baseband we are using in the ATT unlock method is n_16.18.16s
[Motorola Droid 3] eis0r:
Baseband on 60.3.250 is n_37.18.16s

anyone managed to get rid of the annoying low battery notifications on this ROM btw?
[Motorola Droid 3] kapilthio:
I have been using this rom for a while now. I do not get any low battery notifications.

Yes, The battery dies pretty quick with this rom even while I am using extended battery.

---------- Post added at 02:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 AM ----------

Make sure you do these

ro.cdma.nbpcd=0

ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0

ro.cdma.home.operator.isnan=0

ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc = 0

And if you want to use AT&T use this ROM as whole instead of Verizon rom with XT860/XT883 radio & build.prop. Removing Chinese blots is pretty easy.
[Motorola Droid 3] eis0r:
hmm, i keep getting notifications on 15% and 5% battery level.

which battery profile r u using?
[Motorola Droid 3] kapilthio:
Battery low notifications @ 15% & 5% are inbuilt in rom. every phone shows that including HTC.

I am using custom battery profile with CDMA UIM card in India.

Hi,

Has you tried using Bootstrap?, if isn't possible, maybe using RSD Lite.

http://sloaxleak.com/android.apps/Droid3CWBootstrap.apk
[Motorola Droid 3] kapilthio:
This rom is better as compared to Verizon. You need to flash it using RSD lite (AP FASTBOOT Mode). No issues except faster battery drain.

If you want to use Verizon services, This ROM is NOT to be flashed. Only for use with GSM or CDMA RUIM.

modify md5 of these files in xml file of xt883 rom.

and delete line below.

<step operation="flash" partition="recovery" filename="recovery.img" MD5="36e63a35ef3ca8b8cd3f860400829b1e" />

than use RSDLite flash again.

Dear mvp,

Before attempting to install the XT883 rom, I did a SBF using the 1-Click method from Overlayer to revert back to .890 version.

I also have the needed files ready for flashing: XT883 SBF 57.1.60, XT883 OTA to 60.3.250, GMS_XT883_update_r7. Beside this, I also have VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-55_1FF_01 and the 1-Click on standby. Used RSDLite 5.6, motofail-root and moto-fastboot.

It boot up into a blackscreen with tactile feedback whenever I press and hold any part of the screen (as if I am pressing into the app itself)

I have referred to numerous threads and forums but in vain.

Following your help and other xda members help, I have managed to install XT883 on .906 unlocked Verizon droid 3.

However, whenever I tried to 'start call recording', the call will either freeze up or the recording runs but there are no voice recorded.

I did downgrade to .896 using the 1-Click SBF afterall. Why would this .906 be affecting my phone still?

in other words you could not flash stock 896 rom.

[Motorola Droid 3] pepe55:
Its maybe little ot but, Do anyone of you know, what I need to modify in for make it work on 862? I dont mean this rom, I mean any 883 rom to make it work on 862? I have found some new roms on chinesse forum, but it need edit (language, some else).
[Motorola Droid 3] lovesg:
Yes I did that (XT862 to XT883) with the help of mvp, sd_shadow and many others along the way.

The first thing you need to know is, are you currently on .906 version or .890 version.

If you are on the former, you can follow my step-by-step guide.

1.	Install the Motorola Driver

2.	Install RSDLite5.6.exe

3.	Run the 1_CLICK_SBF.exe

4.	Unzip MOTO XT883_ROM 2.3.6-SLNCT-60.3.250.zip to folder ‘A’.

5.	Unzip 1_CLICK_SBF.exe to folder ‘B’.

6.	Copy boot.img, cdt.bin, recovery.img (from folder ‘B’) to folder ‘A’.

7.	Shut down and power up with m+Power.

8.	Select AP Fastboot by using the Volume UP key.

9.	Run RSDLite

10.	Select the XML file in folder ‘A’.

11.	Flash.

12.	Upon reboot,

a.	Plug in the USB as Charge Only

b.	Run Pete's Motorola Root Tools.exe

c.	It will reboot twice. Check for Superuser.apk or the Su.apk on the drawer.

d.	If it fails on step C, execute the run.bat file in motofail to root it.

e.	Make sure you see the Superuser.apk or the Su.apk on the drawer.

13.	Upon reboot, transfer the com.estrongs.android, GMS_XT883_update_r7.zip to the sdcard of the phone.

14.	Install the com.estrongs.android >> Es Explorer.

15.	Open the app. Go to Settings > Enable Root Explorer; Enable Mount File System; Enable Up to Root.

16.	To make 3G signal stable, do the following. Using Es Explorer, go to:

a.	\System\etc\motorola\com.motorola.android.providers.settings\settings.mkitso

b.	Change enable_icc_type_restriction=1 -> enable_icc_type_restriction=0

c.	Wipe in recovery (x+Power)

d.	Reboot.

e.	Go to Wireless Setting > Mobile Network > Select Global. Set the 3G APN.

17.	Using ES Explorer to unzip the GMS_XT883_update_r7.zip. Manually copy the following to the respective folders.

a.	app to /system/app

b.	framework to /system/framework

c.	lib to /system/lib

d.	permissions to /system/etc/permissions

18.	For each of the copied and paste file, change the permissions to

a.	Read: Owner (tick)

b.	Read: Group (tick)

c.	Read: Others (tick)

d.	Write: Owner (tick)

e.	The rest untick

As I cannot post links, you would have to copy and search for it yourself. For example, XT883_ROM 2.3.6-SLNCT-60.3.250.zip

[Motorola Droid 3] tim-ranger:
Finally I give up... I try many times and many hours to enable GSM, with no success. I flash radio files from 861, it removes USIM but no GSM signal... guides here no result for me... RSD lite no working both 890 and 906. If I knew that model doesn't support call recording I would choose other model, it is very usefull for me. For now I will use 861 stock or maverick 4.5, but very soon I will search for phone again...

My question is that. that firmware is by far the best for XT862, it difficult for a tech team to make a rom based on this or a easy flashable firmware working for anyone? a simple working backup from safestrap I believe it could be used by everybody...

[Motorola Droid 3] rynosaur:
I would hate to lead anyone astray or hurt any feelings and I might be helping the Chinese Government, but I flashed all the partitions (on my D3 that was all but a brick) mentioned in the XML file and guess what?

it worked (so far, I'm in charge only mode right now, phone off--a mode I did not have before!).

Obviously, I will have to flash partitions to get back the radio and what-not, but this did indeed unbrick my phone.

NOT NOT NOT advising others to try unless it's your last hope!:D

EDIT: by the way, trying to flash the Chinese SBF posted here a month ago fails out completely. Thin Win32 version of RSDlite recognizes the phone/file mismatch . . . so, while there's no harm in trying, if you somehow disabled RSDlite/sbf_flash 's ability to run a compatibility check, you could be in a messy situation.
[Motorola Droid 3] psouza4:
Bad, bad, bad idea.

If you used this, you flashed radio and other partitions that should NOT have been flashed. We have no way of correcting those. If you had just waited and been patient, you would get to read about a process we're working on right now that can fix bricked phones as long as you don't flash something like THIS over it.

(PLEASE NO PMS ABOUT BRICKED PHONES -- I CAN NOT AND WILL NOT HELP YOU AT THIS TIME)

Nobody flash this. Just BE PATIENT -- I know it's hard, but for your own sake, please please try.
[Motorola Droid 3] rynosaur:
PFFT! I have a functional D3 now . . . I just have to move to China to use it. :p

Edit: This is what gets flashed. We have the 959 version of most of these, but not all. So, if you do what I did, you'll need to reflash matching versions of all these to get a Verizon Droid3 back:

1. cdt.bin

2. lbl

3. logo.bin

4. ebr

5. mbr

6. devtree / device_tree.bin

7. system.img

8. radio.img (the big one, but not the only one!)

9. boot.img

10. recovery.img

11. cdrom

To complicate matters, at least one of these partitions gives the D3 its identity, so all partitions must match this one (perhaps more than one) file. So psouza is right, this is not a real solution, but I do have a "functional" device now . . . in other words, it boots :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Adam.h.ogle:
This is deceptive. Your phone is not "functional" because you have flashed a Chinese radio that won't program for Verizon. Also, there's no way to go back to the Verizon image...we don't have a US-Verizon SBF...so your phone is a 4" wifi tablet.

For anyone else reading, DO NOT FLASH THIS SBF!

And also, once you flashed this ROM, are you able to flash back to the Verizon ROM which was just released last few weeks?

Thanks so much.

[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Call forwarding is disabled.

What do you mean MMS doesn't work?

Did you try the tethering hack?
[Motorola Droid 3] ich511:
In XT883 as well? Does that mean it doesn't bring it's own radio FW with it? Just to be sure. Then I'd reconsider tampering with it...
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Call forwarding is enabled, tethering works (both wifi and usb), it has a better dial pad and a lot of useful features missing on the verizon rom, and the field strength indicator works as expected, likely the sensitivity is improved too, the 3G indicator has the H indication when data transfer is happening as happen in most GSM phones.

You have to root the phone and install the google apps manually,and remove the china telecom bloatware (mostly uninstallable normally via the application panel).

For now the only drawback is that the bootstrap doesn't works, so no clockwork recovery, no nandroid backups (yet).

You can flash back to verizon rom w/o any problem
