Removing CWM OnBoot

I followed these steps and it worked. Now when I reboot my phone does not stop at the CMW menu.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
I'm lost.... You followed those... And now you don't boot into cwm automatically? That's what those steps were for.... To.delete that...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Joanni:
anyone elses stock faceboook/twitter client f.c.ing when trying to view the accounts or use the moto social media widget? i also cant seem to be able to sync profile pics to my contacts.

known issue? or just me?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] art0605:
I made the dumb mistake of not backing it up and turning it off, now I am stuck on the "M DUAL CORE" screen. What should I do?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
My fb pics are not synching either.... I believe the dev. Is aware ... Also if you go to the rootz wiki link I posted you will find that the dev uploaded a "bloatware/blurr" link... I'm.guessing your getting those fc's due to that he removed them.... Check it out...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
Have you tried powering up with the volume keys pressed
[Motorola Droid RAZR] art0605:
Yup, it's been stuck on that screen for about two hours no. Can't turn it off or anything.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
Bro.. You should of just did a factory reset like I recommended earlier... Backed everything up with titanium...Get back to stock.. You would you would of been up and running and flashing safe strap and this ROM in.no time.... Now unfortunately... You might be soft bricked and out a razr till we get the fast boot files.. :-(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
Hold volume down and power button for ten seconds.... Forcing a hard reset(basically a battery pull)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] art0605:
You're right. But I want to try one last thing before getting a new one.

I got it to turn off, when turning back on it gets stuck on the "M" screen again. I am in fastboot mode now. Would a Wipe data/Factory reset help restore my phone? If so, how do I get to that option? Nothing happens on step two when I press the vol down, there is no Android Recovery option.

Tried following these instructions:

1. Turn off the Phone. Press and hold Volume Down button, press Power button.

2. Next the phone should go into Fastboot. Press on the Volume down key to select the Android Recovery option.

3. When you see an image of Android let go of the Volume down key.

4. Next open the Menu by tapping on the bottom right corner of the screen.

5. Now select Wipe data/Factory reset.

6. Then press OK.

7. On the confirmation screen, select Yes and OK to proceed.

8. Android will now begin to reset the device. When you see the "reboot system now", Press OK. If it is not selected by default make sure you select it.

9. Your Motorola Droid Razr should bootup shortly and you can continue to use it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MrFrankfromCM:
I soft bricked my phone too after flashing this ROM. But I was using Bootstrap instead of Safestrap. Nothing worked to get it back running.

So....I have Verizon sending me a replacement Razr.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] art0605:
I tried factory resetting it with hard keys. No luck. I guess it's off to Verizon I go. Note to self: wait until there is a recovery option available before having the balls to do things.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
hopefully they will just fast boot it for you...honestly though safe strap is flawless.. Hope the best for you..

Let us know how it goes...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] art0605:
Thanks! How should I approach the situation? Should I just ask them if they can fastboot my phone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
I wouldn't tell them squat! If you admit to rooting your phone they are going to say sorry and get lost.. Take it in.. And tell them it won't boot let them look at it, and let then try and figure it out.. If they don't have the fast boot files you might get lucky and get a new one right then and there... (get the white one then...) Looks bad ass... How long you had your razr?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nerdslogic:
so by using safestrap my current stock rom stays in tact the way it is now? Meaning all I would have to do is factory reset from stock to return to rooted stock ROM, then unroot from there should I need to?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MrFrankfromCM:
They way I told the store person and someone on the phone is that i got the phone recently and then it started to randomly freeze and locked up, sometime random boots and not just stays at the M Logo.

I explained we all tried the factory reset options..blah blah blah.

Now I have a replacement in transit to me. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
Hey nerd.... Welcome aboard... Guess you finally have up on the bionic lol... I was on.the bionicforums when it first came out to...razr kills bionic.. Anyways I think the only thing you honestly need is to be rooted... And install the safe strap...then enable safe strap them you will be in safe mode.... Safe mode= where you place your new ROM like razrx and UN safe mode = your stock ROM that you don't want to touch... Then all you do is just toggle between the two roms on start up.... Also when safe strap is installed... every time you boot up you go into a screen and ask you if you want to boot into recovery... Or continue to boot to your ROM from when you just rebooted a second ago... Hence meaning... SAFESTRAP! Can't go wrong... Have you installed Amy kind of bootstrapper apk yet? Or any kind of cwm?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
Well you lucked out.... That's for sure... Lol..just remember read instructions very slowly and then read them again...I personally would like to edit out and delete the razerstap step/cwm part of my post.. But thats what the dev posted so i'm not going to alter it..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MrFrankfromCM:
Yeah, I followed directions for the cwm setup no prob, it's just that method does not work. I should have removed cwm and went with safestrap.

I sure will with the replacement Razr. :cool:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] art0605:
Exactly how I explained it! They fiddled with it for a while before giving up and shipping me a new one, since I had it for more than two weeks, I couldn't get a switch out then and there unfortunately. Oh, and they don't have the fastboot files either. Oh well, now I wait until Tuesday. College kids can handle going without a phone for a few days right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] frankyvee:
Sorry for not being clear. I was not complaining. Just making a positive comment about how good these steps are to the person that was having trouble removing CMW. Most folks in this forum are trying to remove the CMW OnBoot so they can instlall the Safe BootStrap Recovery APK . It's all good.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nerdslogic:
No bootstrap. I ended up following all the safestrap instructions without a hitch. Now I just need an ICS ROM to play with ;)

Liking the Razr though....Bionic was not good.:(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
... Glad it worked out for you... Try this razrx ROM... Pretty nice looks great

Any news of XT910??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] elitegunslinger:
Is anyone having any issues with ADB & this rom? My device is offline according to ADB on my mac & pc.

12/22/11: Still unsure of my ADB issues, not working with my mac, pc, or even terminal under root permissions on the phone...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
Haven't even tried using adb with this ROM...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bullswife98:
Will I need safestrap? I'm not flashing any roms on my phone. I just wanted to root so I could freeze bloatware on this. Done with flashing roms for a while, a long while( did it all the time on my OG) it kinda burnt out. Likening the stock right at the moment. So is it absolutely needed?

Sent from my Rooted XT912 Razr! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
Nope... Just root and freeze apps with titanium back up.. Don't delete anything.. Freeze only.. there is a list floating around here for what's safe to freeze.. That way when ics stats rolling out ota just unfreeze and voila.. Your updating...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bullswife98:
Awesome! Thanks for the reply and your help and what you all do for our Razrs!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] j0hnnyblaz3:
Has anyone tried using motocast with this rom? I live it so far but with traveling I do use motocast a lot. I tried installing the zumo service from the blur update and it still didn't work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] justibasa:
Flashed this last night and it is running great. What an awesome effort on the devs part. Thanks for an awesome rom.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
I believe the dev. Didn't replace all of the blur bloat...

So that's why you are probably having issues...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
He has done a lot of work on the bionic... And it was sweet..

This is his main.phone.. Anne i.believe he went and got a galaxy nexus... Not sure... But once we get fast boot files and ics... Razr will be the phone to have.. guaranteed..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] j0hnnyblaz3:
Oh OK thought it was all in the zip on the op.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
Nope.. He only added some of it... If I read.it correctly over at rootz... I didn't.download his blur update so I have no idea what's in it....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] art0605:
When do you think we'll get those fastboot files?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
Who knows.... Not soon enough! Lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] j0hnnyblaz3:
Got motocast working. Had to fix permissions.

On another note, does anyone use web top with this? Using this rom when I boot into web top the mouse no longer works and the mobile app is frozen. Its basically unresponsive. Any ideas?

Love the rom so far thanks for the work!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drastic61:
Bricked RAZR

So i was trying to install this particular rom through cwm and now my device is bricked.... i can get into the android stock recovery, is there an official signed rom i can flash? Any help would be appreciated. I did happen to do a back up through cwm, any way to restore it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
can you factory reset? I think your screwed honestly.. Did you buy chance happen to read what I wrote in the op? I clearly stated to use safe strap... And that people were bricking there phones with out using safe strap..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xitsxjack:
just got the vzw update pushed to my phone, just to make sure, i should NOT install it, right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] superstargoddess:
I'd like to know the answer to that as well before I update. I haven't rooted or installed this rom yet, so I don't know if installing the update would prevent me from being able to do those things or not.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dligon:
well i heard the update breaks root but you can get it back http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/21/droid-razr-update-rolling-out-now/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] branshaw09:
I wouldnt think that OTA will install when running a custom ROM.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MrFrankfromCM:
The update may not work as the ROM is missing some bloatware.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xitsxjack:
When I had the tmo Samsung vibrant and I rooted and got rid of some bloatware, I did the ota update and I got softbricked. Im guessing the same will happen here..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronin3178:
I was rooted before the ota, unrooted and rerooted with no problems, stock before and after.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bracca:
so, since you are posting in this thread I assume you had done safestrap and installed this RAZRX rom. Usually custom roms don't allow OTA updates.

Is there anything I can do to stop or not allow the OTA update? I have done Safestrap, backed up original ROM with Safe-Disabled, installed RAZR (and loving it, thank you, dev) etc. Followed all steps.

Read the thread at Droid-life mentioned in this thread. Anyone tried the "OTA Rootkeeper" app? Does it work?

Thank you!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronin3178:
I unrooted prior to installing the ota then rerooted with no problems. Using doomlords method
[Motorola Droid RAZR] networkdood:
I did a factory reset prior to the OTA and it will still fail.

I then found this:

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/251-rom-stock-odexed-rooted-rom-744-system/

Voodoo OTA will keep root - in fact nothing was erased during the OTA update process.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bracca:
For those of you that are in the same situation.

I am rooted, safestrapped, backed up and using RAZRX 1.0. Since last night I've been seeing Verizon give me the "Update available" message.

1. I installed OTA Rootkeeper. Used it to back up root and temporarily unroot.

2. Downloaded Verizon's OTA update. Started it, left phone alone. Went back. It had rebooted, but said, 'Update Failed.' Not too upset, even though it sounds like it improves camera.

3. Opened OTA Rootkeeper, reinstated root successfully (tested with apps that require root).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] networkdood:
For those that installed this ROM successfully, what do you think of it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bracca:
link seems broken. Do YOU like this OTA update

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

from the google cached results of the link you posted, I read:

"I have thrown together a zip for those of you that have migrated off the OTA upgrade path. If you have modified your system apps by removing bloat an..."

I am assuming he was providing the new Verizon OTA rom as a zip for us to install through Safestrap... Link still broken. Maybe it was taken down on purpose.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cl1ckclack:
Small issue... I installed the rom, and now i cant call or make texts? just lost all connectivity....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lamboh:
Can we have an update?

Quickoffice?

After flashing this rom, I noticed Quickoffice is not installed. Any way to get Quickoffice back?

Thank you!

---------- Post added at 06:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

how exactly do you toggle betweenthe two ROMS? Is it by toggling Safe mode from safe (RAZRX) to UN-Safe (stock rom)?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MrFrankfromCM:
Yes, that is correct.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bracca:
Well, safestrap rocks. Switched to safe-disabled and booted inti my rooted stock rom.

Really wanted to see the supposed camera improvements so:

- booted into stock rooted rom after putting safestrap into safe-disabled.

- used voodoo's OTA rootkeeper to back up root and temporarily unroot

- downloaded update from vzw. Tapped "install now". Device rebooted

- the yellow progress bar went about 1/3 of the way, exclamation mark showed up inside triangle, device rebooted.

- after reboot, I got, Software update failed.

Should I do a doomlord unroot and try again?

Thank you

Edit: forgot to mention that besides rooting I had not removed or freezed any apps
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jbarrs12:
Just flashed RAZRX and so far so good. The only question I have is does anyone us Motomizer with this rom?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:

Thank you![/QUOTE]

1) To stop the OTA from downloading, Using Root Explorer you can simply rename the BlurUpdater_VZW.apk to BlurUpdater_VZW.bak. The file is located under system/app folder. You will have to switch to Read/Write (R/W). Then when you are done reboot.

2) Also the OTA Rootkeeper does work. I used it and it worked for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] marktaylor22:
wow! +1 LOVE this rom! Great job! Safestrap was flawless! Question though: that Neon clock, where did you get that? Also, the weather widget is great, where did you find that?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] j0hnnyblaz3:
Why not worked for me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chrisngrod:
Maybe I didn't read a post in this thread where it would hint that something was wrong with a PRL or programming. *228 has never been for OTA software updates to my knowledge, and from what I've read is not suppose to be used with LTE (SIM card) phones. I'm also coming over from Cricket Wireless and am new to phones with SIM cards, but I do read.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] networkdood:
Sorry, I am not sure what happened. Maybe the author removed it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xitsxjack:
might be a stupid question, but, is this rom deodexed?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mistawolfe:
Doesn't work for LTE phones. SIM handles activation and updating towers. You can bork your SIM and need a new one.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] detr0yt:
Not stupid question.... But yes... It is deodexed
[Motorola Droid RAZR] j0hnnyblaz3:
Not true. I have done it multiple times and the Verizon store has done it. This is how the store activated the Sim when I bought my phone. when the Sim authorization error was happening the tech told me to do it. it was just a suggestion.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] skiwong20:
No this rom is odex. Read th3orys info. He left this odex for faster speeds.

A question for the group:

I have the lapdock 500 pro and it works beautifully. However, If I flash a hacked rom, it will not work. I found this ion my friend's bionic as well. Any ideas?

ps...by "not work" I mean that the unit loads, but the cursor is frozen and none of the apps are "clickable..."

[Motorola Droid RAZR] j0hnnyblaz3:
I have had this same problem. I think it has something to do with the USB package being removed. Web top seems to be ok. The USB Ports do not work and I assume the touchpad is considered USB. I am going to try to add a few system packages back in and see if I can find the problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] benjamin3312:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] tml478:
First of all I work for Verizon and I do know squat. But thanks cool guy. During the sim self activation if the phone fails to connect then it will revert to a *228 to finish the activation. While it will not do anything to help you after the initial activation *228 won't mess up your sim.

No, he just knows how to do his job. It's how we make a living. In any industry you'll get people that just... don't know anything.

And besides, when you dial *228 on a RAZR, Moto was smart enough to make the phone recognize what you're doing, and it says "Your sim has automatically updated your Verizon Wireless Service" or something like that. lololol

Did Droid Th3ory abandon yet another ROM?

First, let me say I have always enjoyed his work. And I personally think he makes an excellent ROM. I used his ROM on the Bionic, and LOVED it... until he abandoned it in the middle of the night.

I am going to use the Bionic as an example because I never used his ROM when I was using the Razr (I was a little butt hurt over the Bionic).

He made, IMO, the best ROM for the Bionic. He put out almost daily updates, which is good. But almost a pain to keep up with! :) Then he evolved the ROM to be modular with different themes. As to be expected with a major build change it was a little fragmented with users trying to evolve with the ROM. But there was a TON of potential. Then just a few days later...poof the thread was gone, and no more support.

People have said he broke his bionic or something like that, but why pull the thread? Why not explain to users what happened and let them know they need to transition to a new ROM if you are unable to support it?

You can make the best ROM the world has ever seen. But if you make those kind of decisions you cant whine about the criticism.

This guy has the mentality of a 12 year old. No matter how many people compliment him or speak highly of his work, eventually he is going to read some ignorant comment and get his feelings hurt. Then he takes his ball and goes home.

I have read through several of his ROM threads on mulitple sites, and they don't look any different than any other Devs threads. ROMS are like Phones, Everyone is going to debate which one is better and why. It is all based on the users opinion and what suits their needs.

Why can't this guy see that he has very loyal followers (mistawolf), that should be all he needs. His ego has got to be as fragile as a naked iPhone.

The effects of this decision:

His supporters = Abandoned, hung out to dry.

The Haters = Don't care, they didn't want it anyway.

He is a very talented and smart guy, but in the end he is a quitter.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chrisngrod:
Yeah well I'm going to say it probably takes time to do this stuff. Some people actually have jobs. It's unfortunate that people need to eat food and do other things that consume time/money.

I see where you're coming from, but maybe this should encourage developers to just keep stuff to themselves and not release it to a large number of people who will probably be ungrateful.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alienmonkey:
Running CM7 on a Samsung Galaxy S2. Haven't done anything recently other than install/remove/update apps. During work my phone decided to autorestart while idling on the desk. Would boot to Launcher Pro, however phone will continually restart. I tried wiping both cache's and performing a fix permissions, and I restored to a working backup from 3 days ago, however it was doing the same continuous reboot. Same thing if I reflashed CM ontop. I wiped and flashed virgin CM not linked to google account and phone stayed on ADW with no rebooting, so I'm assuming my issue is app involved

I'm not sure how to read this, but could someone please look at the logcat I saved and advise as to what potentially could be my issue.
