[Motorola Droid RAZR] chunnell:
I'm pretty experienced with unlocking Winmo 6.5 phones and running android non natively on them. But I've only had a Droid since Christmas and am not too experienced with these. I had rooted my phone to enable Wifi tethering but the new 2.3.6 has disabled my ability to root the phone. I understand that I may need to install a previous version of Droid and then do something before installing 2.3.6 but I keep reading about Nexus and OTA and have no idea what these are. So can someone walk me through this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aktrazer:
Absolutely! You more than likely need to restore back to a prev version using a fastboot file if you can't root 2.3.6. You have 2 options:

1 - Root the fastboot, use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to preserve root

2 - Use the root for 2.3.6 that is available.

Either way, feel free to PM me if you need a step by step. I've fastbooted 3 times now to try out different methods of restoring root.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ronin3178:
If you have an xt912, didn't say in OP, I know that this works without fastbooting back to 2.3.5.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1492708

And if for some reason you wanted to unroot then doomlords unroot method still works.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BigJArm:
The new motofail root method will root 2.3.6 directly with out having to use rootkeeper.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chunnell:
Lot's of terms here that I don't understand. "Root the fastboot", "Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper", "PM", "Fastboot".

I would need a step by step, thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chunnell:
Lot's of crazy terms here. xt912? OP? Who is doomlord? Did he create the DroidRazrRoot program that I had used before?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
When in doubt, google. Having come from a WinMo background as I did, you should be familiar with that. ;)

XT910 & XT912 are the model numbers for the two RAZR variants, GSM & CDMA respectively. It doesn't matter which you have from a root perspective.

As above, there is a new root method called MotoFail, which will allow you to root 2.3.6 without downgrading. Use that. Problem solved. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] chunnell:
I ran the Motofail and it seems to have worked. Sometimes though it would be nice to feel that you aren't going to brick the phone and would like information ahead of time before running a program that you've never heard of. That's why the questions.

Are you using a swap partition? That's the only thing that caused me to have random lockups and reboots on my previous roms. The latest stable v1.1 doesn't use swap.

[General Questions and Answers] sjraman79:
Hi I am using the ATT HTC VIVID

I bought this phone last Nov 11, and I stated noticing my phone was not receiving any calls if I stay at home(jersey city). If anyone calls to my number it will not connect at the same time it will not sent to voicemail also. It will say "call couldn't be completed".

After 2 months fight with ATT, they tried

1. they did a factory reset on my phone - it didn't help

2. changed the sim card - it didn't help

3. finally they replaced a another HTC vivid

even that didn't help

finally they said there was issue in near to my home and they fixed it.

now i a started receiving calls but now the issue i am having is, if I call to my number it will not connect first time it will go to voicemail, and second time if i try then it will ring. (First time also my phone is idle) This is happening randomly and ATT is not helping on this situation. As per them I am not able to replicate when they were testing on my phone.

Because of this issue I am missing calls which is making me really frustrated. After three week of research I found this is happening in not only near to my home its happening at my work place (NYC) and if I go around also its happening.

Can someone please give some advice to fix the issue that would be really great

I have my GNex mounted while I drive so that I can use the GPS. When I try to use voice controls on the freeway (ambient car noise is louder), I have to lean really close to the phone and yell for it to pick anything up.

Is it possible to use the heaphones/mic that came with the GNex so that sound comes out of the phone's main speakers (not the headphones), but it uses the mic on the headphones?

Might there be another free/cheap solution that I haven't thought of?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
Strange. When I use it in my car I just set the phone in my lap and talk as normal (maybe a slightly raised voice) and don't have any issues. This is even the case on the highway with a relatively loud 3" turbo-back exhaust rumbling below me.

Haven't had any problems with yelling, but as of now the second u plug something into that headphone jack sound goes out whatever is plugged in, and you can't change the output as you would on a PC. I do use my bluetooth tho and then it'll pick up voice search and it won't push sound out anywhere except your main speaker. Plus they are dirt cheap now adays. Hell i think costco gives them out free

[Desire HD General] projektr:
I've tried different tools and methods after searching this forum but have been unable to restore the stock recovery.

History: I was on a custom rom (Leedroid). I restored it to stock with a nandroid backup downloaded from here. It was a backup of the service provider I originally got the phone from. I returned it to the radio it came with and I've also set radio and eng on, updated the CID to what I think was the right one and unrooted the phone.

After that, I've tried restoring the stock recovery, but it still shows up as clockworkmod.

When attempting the above with fastboot, it displays that is sends the file, tries to write and then displays a message saying Signature Verification failed?

I've tried initiating the OTA update, but after it powers down and tries to install, I end up getting that triangle with an esclamation mark. Also tried to rename the OTA update to update.zip and start it from clockworkmod and that doesn't work either.

What am I doing wrong?
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Have a search in the development thread for the appropriate RUU for your provider and run that, it will put you back completely to stock ie. Recovery/ Splash screens / rom / radio and S-ON
[Desire HD General] projektr:
I don't think there is an RUU available as I've tried searching. I could only find a backup. here is the link to the post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19651022&postcount=44

I assume he used clockworkmod to backup so it's a part of it now.
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
if I understand correctly you are now S-ON? If so there's your problem that is stopping the overwriting of the recovery partition, If I was you I'd try one of the WWE RUUs found here, although you may have an issue with the CID interfering if you do try using AAHK to root and S-OFF then try the RUU

[Motorola Droid Bionic] CCivale:
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for this guide. I ran into a problem when I went to copy the 902 update to my sd card. It kept saying that it was unable to copy it to sd-ext. I tried twice and made sure that Mass Storage was enabled, but I couldn't figure out what was going wrong. I ended up just booting up the phone and pulling the OTA update. Then I went back and used Motofail and didn't have any problems.

One question I do have....is Motofail the same as using forever root? In the respect that it's permanent? Or is there a chance that I can break the root somehow?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
If you were in Mass Storage mode but it didn't copy then you should change it to Charge Only mode and try again. If it still gives you an error then you don't have enough free space on the card.

Motofail is better than Forever root as it can be redone again after any update. Forever root didnt root my 902 but Motofail did. Foreverroot is not really "forever".
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CCivale:
Thanks for the info. It really was very easy using this method. Thanks for compiling it and taking the time.

If I run into any problems, having taken the OTA as a work around, I'll try it again and try the toggle between "mass storage" and "charge only". I definitely had more than enough room (more than 6gb).

Thanks again.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 86shelby:
I tried this, it didn't work. So I ran the 902 fxz, rooted with motofail & installed eclipse 2.1. Super easy.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] xr4v3nx:
Hello! I'm wondering if I updated my Bionic to 5.9.902 through the official OTA update, can I skip steps 3-8?

Thank you!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CCivale:
I think you can skip 3-9 then. 9 is really the tail end of upgrading to 902. You should be able to just run Motofail and root your phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] xr4v3nx:
Thanks for your reply! And yeah, I meant until step 9 :D

I need one more confirmation so I can start rooting :p
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Once you are running version 5.5.902 you can use the Motofail rooter app. It does not matter how you got to version 902.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] xr4v3nx:
Cool. Thank you!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
If this didn't work for you, then you selected the wrong step early on in the process or didn't follow the prompts in the updater app. This is a universal guide for all Bionics. The Bionic's nature dictates that this process has to work.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] xr4v3nx:
Updated through OTA and ran motofail.exe. Worked like a charm! Thanks again!:D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
-EDIT-

My bad you all! I corrected the mode you need to be in for Step 6! It is in fact "Charge Only" mode. The updater app will take care of copying the file to the SD card via it's own method. It actually cannot access the SD card if you have it in Mass Storage mode, so that was the problem. I just tested that step again on my phone in Charge Only mode and it worked.

In fact, it looks like you should be in "Charge Only" USB mode throughout the entire process.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] 86shelby:
No prompts to miss in rsd....

Perhaps this thread should be titled something like update to 902 the hard way?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
That was pretty immature and unnecessary.

Besides RDSLite is one step in a multi step process. This guide is much easier than the RSD process and does much more than RSD.

I followed the steps to a T (whatever that really means) and all seems to work, except that I haven't been able to connect to 4G since doing this - that's about a day's worth of 3G in places where I was always getting super-fast 4G (central Austin, Texas).

Any chance that I didn't do something right? Is this related at all?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Kevin, try using a different usb port on your computer. If you have a desktop, usage reports in the back of the computer, rather than the ones on the front, or on a usb hub. If that is not the case, then try a different cable.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] crobs808:
Try going into your settings menu, then under Mobile Networks, toggle the LTE/4G option off them on again. You can also try booting the phone without your SIM card, them reboot with it back in. It might shake things loose.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jeff.s:
Both seemed possible; neither worked.

When I reboot, the 4G logo/icon appears in the top status bar. If I try to load a webpage or use the network connection at all, it says no network available, and 30 to 45 seconds later, 3G is up and running (walking, really). Frustrating!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jeff.s:
OK, maybe it's not me. :)

Just read about a Verizon 4G outage across the US. I'd like to include a link, but I'm too noob to be trusted...

[Motorola Droid Bionic] jeff.s:
Yeah - I think it was verizon's fault. 3G all morning, then had to reboot, and it came back 4G and has stuck that way since then...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lemonoid:
so if I have the 902 fxz, I can just go into RSDLite and do the same as I would have done before when I bricked my phone, and it will just take me to 902 instead right? I thought for the longest time I could do this but didn't want to screw anything up..
