Hey everyone!

Just got my phone back from repairs since I received the white light of death. I noticed a lot of people here looking for a Rogers Nandroid so I decided to upload mine.

Features:

Stock Rogers Rom Version: 2.3.5

Rooted using SuperOneClick (Zergrush)

CWM on Boot

Updated SU Binaries

*EDIT

New Instructions for Restoring

After you download and extract the folder, change the folder name from Rogers Stock to any other name without a space! - This will ensure you donot get the MD5 Mismatch error when restoring the backup!

[*]The renamed folder needs to placed in "/sdcard-ext/clockworkmod/backup/<here> ". sdcard-ext is referring to your external sd card. If you don't have one then your clockwork recovery folder should be in your internal sd card so it should be placed there instead.

After restoring, Please do a data+cache+dalvik wipe or a factory wipe from settings in order to wipe any of the settings left from my backup.

Tips:

If your phone is stuck in AP/Fastboot mode and you want to restore to Rogers ROM

Download RSDLite and either the Retail.BR/Vivo LATAM fastboot files from the development section.

Restore your phone to working state by using RSDLite.

Root and install CWM on boot.

Finally, boot into CWM and restore Nandroid in order to return to Rogers Stock.

If you have ever used a RetailBR/Vivo fastboot on your RAZR, you will be able to restore this backup but you won't be able to receive the 2.3.6 Rogers OTA. In that situation, you're better off using the 2.3.6 RetailBR fastboot from the developers section and restore that using RSDLite. Do not restore this backup over the 2.3.6 fastboot as this backup is 2.3.5!

Thank you, this is very useful :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] canadianehh:
will this work for rogers in wpg? And the reason im wanting to use this is cause i messed up my contacts deleting crap (yahoo crap i believe) and will this fix it?

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Yes. It should work fine for any Rogers Razr. You should be able to boot into CWM and restore. Make sure you don't have any SU backups using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper as I believe it does break the Nandroid Restore.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] canadianehh:
Will this fix my contacts force close problem from removing yahoo? It would be great if it does!

Thanks heaps!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Did you just freeze or did you uninstall a system app? If its just a freeze, then you'll have to unfreeze the app in order to fix the force close. If its an uninstall then yes this should restore all the apk's back to your phone as they come out of the box.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
THANK YOU DUDE!

its not a fastboot, but it should works the same, right? i have safestrap installed might try this out...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] canadianehh:
Uninstalled unfortunately :( but thanks! Hope it works.

Thanking all your posts cause you and your posts are ****ing awesome!

Thanks heaps!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Np, and yes it should work. In the odd case it goes wrong, you'll have to use the RetailBr/Vivo fastboot and restore using RSDLite since those are the only two that can be flashed onto the Rogers xt910.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
Quick question....

Whst do you use to flash this? Bootstrap? Which version?

Coz i just realzed gsm phones doesn't work with safestrap...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Yep bootstrap is the way to go. You should install bootstrap and then cwm on boot. Make sure you copy my backup to the clockwork recovery folder on your external sdcard, go to backup/restore and then select it and let it restore. If you want your user data to stay, i believe you can go into advanced and do a /system restore only.

Also make a backup of your current one before you try this incase you encounter any errors and cant restore my nandroid.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
So bootstrap really works only owith extrnal sdcard, huh? I installed it last night n I can't make a backup coz it cant mount sdcard lol...

Guess I'll stop by Canada computers tmrw!

Tgx

PS: 3am reply? From Toronto? Nice :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
You can use internal sdcard as well however its not really suggested. I believe under mounts and storage you can go and mount the other card.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
Thanks for the Rogers' backup, dude! I wish they would release ICS or 2.3.6 at least :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] canadianehh:
tried doin this but gives me MD5 mismatch :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Sorry I forgot to check up on the thread. You can bypass the MD5 mismatch by renaming the folder and removing the space in the folder name and it should flash perfectly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blackmoresnight:
Thank you for putting this up I just have a question if there is anyway that I can use this to restore a bricked phone. I can't go beyond AP fastboot
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
No you cannot use this as a fastboot however you can use the Retail.BR fastboot flash that to get phone working. Then root/install CWM and restore this nandroid in order to get back to stock Rogers state.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
hey Evon, another quick question:

dont u need to unroot to get official Rogers OTA with your Nandroid?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
I'm not sure about OTA's. I believe you can still be rooted and receive OTA's however you must be on the stock Rogers Rom in order to receive the Rogers OTA. I could be wrong since there has not been any OTA so far from Rogers so we'll have to wait and see.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blackmoresnight:
I can't restore the Rogers Rom nor any backup rom I make using Safestrap

SafeStrap giving this message : Error while restoring /System

I resorted my phone using EternityProject Fla**** and the ROM I used to flash it back was

Branding: RETAIL en.BR

Market Segment: LATAM

Version: 651.73.250

Android Version: 2.3.5

SLC: 25

ROM Type: CFC

Radio Version: N/A

Bootloader Version: N/A

Webtop version: N/A

Any ideas
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
This is not a system restore backup, but a firmware flashable with RSD Lite
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Hmm this restore is meant to be used with Bootstrap or Clockwork Recovery. Safestrap is for CDMA only as far as I know. You should be able to restore it. Make sure you're following the instructions that I have posted correctly.

The only problem I was aware of with this Nandroid was the MD5 sum mismatch caused by having a space in the recovery folder name. I would try installing bootstrap again and seeing if that fixes the issue.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] scotja50:
Thanks for this, works amazing!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
so do you rename the folder to something without spaces, and place on the sdcard-ext in the root dir, then recover from that using cwm?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
doesn't have to be on root.... but yes. external card. bootstrap. CWM. restore.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Exact Location is "sdcard-ext/clockworkmod/backup/". Drop the renamed folder in there and it should show up in the restore option in CWM. From there restore, do a data+cache+dalvik wipe.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
i'm slow cuz I'm from Canada eh?

Ok, so I extracted the 7zip file and placed the folder RogersStock on my external sd card.

So now what. Do I go into clockwork? Rom manager?

cwm

backup and restore

---------- Post added at 09:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

it did appear. I am doing a restore as we speak. thank you so much. I will advise.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Do a backup first. Files must be in sane folder as your own backup.

;)

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bbabiuk:
Perfect. It worked. I am updated now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
:p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] GraileR1:
Thank you for the Rogers back up. Been on brazil for months. Restore was no problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xXxTehxXx:
Dear evonc

I registered to the forum just for this post. Thank you so much for the Rogers stock backup. I picked up a razr a few days ago, within a few hours I was researching how to unlock/jailbreak (used to be an Apple guy). Once I researched the crap out of rooting, I attempted it. Such a breeze compared to jail breaking. Anyways, decided to get rid of some of the bloatware, had no idea that a Rogers OTA update would require the bloat. However knowing the world of phone hacks, I knew there must be a way to restore. I tried a simple data wipe/factory restore, the OTA update failed every time.

I then looked upon the Internets, found this wealth of information yesterday. After researching how to install CWM on the RAZR, and the bootstrapper, I installed your stock firmware/restore image. Worked flawlessly, attempted the OTA and again, worked flawlessly.

After which I wiped the data clean and I'm currently setting the beast up again. I guess I'll keep the bloatware on this time until ICS rolls out.

tl;dr: Many thanks from a new user
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bren1819:
Thanks!

From one Canuck to another, thanks so much! I used the backup to do a restore and now am able to update and be happy. Like the post above, who'd have thought the update would require the bloatware? Thats just bad practice. Especially when you have since unlocked your phone and switched carriers:rolleyes:

Thanks again!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CameramanMatt:
I must be doing something wrong, but can't figure out what it is...

I downloaded your Rogers Stock Rom

Unzipped, copied to my SD Card

Took out the evil space in the name

Used a Rom app to restore, It asks me if it's OK to boot into Recovery Mode

I say "Yes!" and the phone reboots normally, and nothing happens

Where am I making the mistake?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
You need to install bootstrap recovery and then use the restore function from there. This backup folder needs to placed in "sdcard-ext/clockworkmod/backup/"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CameramanMatt:
Oh silly me.

I'll go back and watch the Noob video again.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jim_Kim:
I followed the instructions, but for some reason the modified backup file (without the space) does not show up on the backup/restore area. Note that I have put the file in the "ext.SD/clockworkmod/backup" folder, and have tried rebooting many times.

Edit: Nvm, figured it out. Also this scared the crap outta me cuz I thought I got the white light of death!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Glad it worked out. The white light of death as i call it is the battery/hardware failure. Phone turns off and doesn't boot at all and appears like a hard brick and when plugged into a charger turns the notification light solid white. It is an indication that the battery is too low for the phone to boot and it needs to charge however it never charges.

Few people have had it and when i received my phone back from rogers, the notes said a level 3 part was replaced so im assuming the battery or something was faulty.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blackmoresnight:
I am passed that point flashing with RSD

I am now trying to get that rogers rom

to restore it with SafeStrap

my issue hasn't been solved yet Help

the phone is from rogers (GSM)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
This is not a fastboot file. It is just a folder with a Nandroid/System backup made using Clockwork Recovery/Bootstrap. You need to install the bootstrap package using the steps in the Development Section and then restore this backup.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blackmoresnight:
In the Bootstrap after selecting backup/restore

I choose the rogers image

Error while resorting /System

that is what I am getting
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Hmm thats weird. Did you fix the folder name?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blackmoresnight:
Here are some pictures
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
You cannot use safestrap. This is Bootstrap or Clockwork Recovery compatible only.

They are different recoveries for different devices.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blackmoresnight:
would you please provide me with a recovery that works with my phone ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
SafeStrap doesn't work with GSM (Rogers) phone. just FYI.

use Bootstrap.

and dont forget to UNINSTALL SAFESTRAP first.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] superbrowndude:
I rebotted the phone with Bionic Bootstrapper then went to flash the file that I had renamed OEMrom,It says that there is nothing there, did I use the wrong tool to reflash with ?

Sorry I had a blond moment and clicked to flash it,instead of restore it. Its currently being restored :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ixoye777:
My phone was stuck in a fastboot loop and I was able to use the Vivo Brazil Fastboot to get it up and running and then your ROgers Nandriod to get my phone back to working condition again - Thank you so much for this :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drolgnir:
anyone have a 2.3.6 rogers nandroid?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Why do you want a 2.3.6 nandroid when you can rsd flash this:

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
some of us like to avoid RSD-ing with non-Rogers ROM so we can get proper OTA...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
I see. Take a look on this thread. Some rogers users get the 2.3.6 update and may provide you a backup. Ask they by PM.

Btw- a nandroid backup will not allow you getting furthet updates from carrier otas.

see u
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
Unfortunately I was stuck on the Vivo version since i fastbooted to it after bricking my phone. Currently I'm running the Chinese ICS leak so I don't think i'll be able to update the thread with a 2.3.6 image. If however a Rogers fastboot shows up, I can probably look into updating the thread.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Hi evonc, did you see I've found the 2.3.6 retail.br for rsd lite flashing?

It's really nice man.

2.3.6 won't ROOT

I had an issue with my Razr so I sent it for in warranty repair, but when I got it back I noticed it wasn't the same phone, and not exactly the same software.

I have tried using superoneclick, doomlord, and xt910Razrtools. None was able to root the phone, I am getting an issue that the chmod can't change ownership.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
You must use Motofail to root at 2.3.6, Zergrush/psneuter are not compatible with 2.3.6
[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
i personally dont need it. im flashing to the BR 2.3.6 fastboot.

but im guessing drolgnir can use this incase he IS on Rogers ROM but doesn't get the OTA coz he nandroids to something else.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] peter0206:
I flashed the retail.br, but I found it will not have name display as a feature of Rogers service.. does anyone know how to fix it please? or I have to go back to Rogers stock room plz?

Thanks in advance
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drolgnir:
Mine doesn't display Rogers until i set the apn, does that make sense. Setting the Apn is something you should do if your carrier is Rogers.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drolgnir:
I am good now, don't need Rogers nandroid. Just thought it would be nice to be closer to stock Rogers, but that too was because of my sound glitch(fixed).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Skeleton73:
So, my phone is unlocked and updated with the APN for Rogers, but it's a Fido phone. Is it possible for me to use this restore to completely replace the Fido rom on here so that it's specifically a Rogers phone going forward?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
You can flash y this.

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] peter0206:
Thanks for your reply, buy I mean name display( when people calling, you can see the name of the person instead of phone#).

and also I found a problem, sometime when I try to reply a text msg, it cannot go through... I am not sure it is the bug of the retail.br rom..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drolgnir:
Right, if you have the appropriate addons on your cell plan it should work. I am using the brasil 2.3.6 purely and it works for me, i have the value pack addon for name and number. But then again, I am in the wrong thread.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Skeleton73:
Thank you kindly!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] peter0206:
Thanks a lot for your work,, hope someone here can upload 2.3.6 plz... the 2.3.5 back up cannot do update somehow.. try five times already..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] evonc:
It can only do an update if you have never fastboot'ed to the Vivo/RetailBR. If you have then you need to use the RetailBR 2.3.6 fastboot and use that. Also you can just downloaded the bloatware apps if you really need them from the android market.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] peter0206:
That make sense a lot... Thank you so much for your reply:D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ph3arr3t:
Ok thnx I haven't tried that one yet. I will let you know how it goes.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ph3arr3t:
Is there an app like rsdlite that's linux native? Also can the entire phone rom be archived without the phone being rooted?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ph3arr3t:
Ok tried using motofail as root. Nope. Get errors lines 69,72,75-82,85,86,89,90,95

Will try the Wind0lt ver in vbox.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ph3arr3t:
Vbox doesn't want to see USB so I am still unable to access the phone.

My distro does show xt910 .. just thinks its a camera btw.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Did u updated ubuntu 12.04? After updating ubuntu dont't you have to update adb? Just updated and had to.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ph3arr3t:
No I didn't update the version yet. I think there was something of an issue as to the file paths. I ran motofail in wind0lt and there were no issues. Succeeded in rooting the phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ottawadad34:
Thanks for this. Worked great. One question, if i install the ota update will i loose root and bootstraper?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ph3arr3t:
I finally got around to upgrading to 12.04. I have also learned that it's not the distro as much as vbox itself. There are notes and posts about how vbox may access usb /dev but data therin may be corrupted. :eek:

I hope they resolve that issue by the time I need to run clmamepro.

No dude u can flash the new custom rom over it :) no need to flash stock rom ..sometimes its recommended to wipe system in cwm recovery b4 flashing a new rom but in no way necessary :)

The Brightness on my Evo will not adjust no matter what I do. I've tried clearing cache, I've tried a hard reset, I've tried loading a sense rom and back to CM7. I've checked my light sensor which seems to be very responsive and seems to be working perfectly. Phone stays on highest brightness setting, does not auto adjust when in that setting. When I go to change the setting, no matter which way I slide the setting, the brightness does not shift. Remains on high. This is across roms with cleared caches, battery pulls and with sensor showing fine activity. Someone out there, help me.

Hello all!

Im not sure if anyone else has had this issue, however i will state it anyway and feel free to close this thread if it has been mentioned previously! :)

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 on O2 in the UK and have recently updated it to the official 4.0.3 via KIES.

Everything looks like it has updated fine, and it does say im running 4.0.3 - the only thing that seems to be missing as far as i can see, is the 'live effects' for the camera and video capturing - things like the silly faces, background replacement etc that i have seen on other 4.0.3 devices, such as the galaxy nexus. I know this isn't stock only to the galaxy nexus as i have seen other people with galaxy s2's that have a hacked rom on it that is based on 4.0.3.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks!
