I have OTA RootKeeper. The update fails after the process completes and then reboots. Wants to download again (.181 Update)

Edit: Factory Resetting Phone / ReRooting / Applying .181 Update

Results: Still failed, but this is irrelevant to this post, since this is about .173

Seems like 181 wont take over a rooted device. :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dcmbullet:
has anyone tried to unroot, update, and reroot?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dantonuci:
Yes i did temp unroot then installed the update and restored root zero issues
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Tiburon41:
I'm stock rooted, got the notification this morning, used OTA Rootkeeper to backup su, applied update, restored root. No un-rooting required.

You need to be stock with no bloat removed for this update to work. If anything's frozen in TiBU it will not work. Custom ROMs obv will not work as well. Fully stock, rooted or unrooted only.

As for the update, meh.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lewi3069:
I keep getting "signature verification failed."
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sporty377:
thought it was the 181 update not 173???? confussed
[Motorola Droid RAZR] orcsbane13:
It's just the way Motorola names their updates. It's always named the version you should be on to use it. The update to 748 was called 744. The update to 173 was called 748 and so forth.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dcmbullet:
so if i deleted stuff i should just factory reset and then update?

sorry if stupid question but new to moto devices

I am currently unrooted and I did receive the latest OTA (March 8) release. its 17MB

Ok....gotcha.......i come from tbolt to razr...thanks for the heads up
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dcmbullet:
I am also getting this error can someone either post a link to a stock rom or an update that doesnt have the sig error please.

i appreciate everyones help in here
[Motorola Droid RAZR] omidajunglist:
So mistakenly, I ran the update without unfreezing the bloatware in TiBu

The update went through but now I lost root access

Do I need to reset my Razr back to stock in order to re-root it or what its the best course of action?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bluh5d:
Theres no reason you should have an issue. As I updated of this file. I pulled it directly from ota i didnt get it from someone else I pulled it myself.

Besides those 2 anyone else have troubles. Also if you installed speak up. Also I didnt loose root on this update at all didnt have to restore or nothing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tiger505:
So first I used TB and defrosted bloat...

I am rooted with stock Rom.

Used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and it was very easy to unroot.

1) Voodoo Root Keeper>Protect Root>Temp. Un-root

2) Download and install 6.12.181 OTA

3) Use Voodoo to re-apply root

I'm sorry to say this but "it was so easy even a caveman could do it"

Everything back to normal...I'm not sure if my sq_lite hack for hotspot works however as my Razr is my secondary phone, so my Razr is not active with Verizon for now. I may switch back from my Rezound for a while tomorrow. I go back an forth with these 2. Weird I know.

Good Luck to all.

Hi All,

I just got my htc One X! Very nice phone... However, i installed papago x5. It cant be used. Well, it shown "Unsupported Resolution: 480X856" something like that...

I did some research on solution: Copy and rename the folder in Organic from 480X856 to 600X1024. And also download spare parts and check and uncheck the "Compatibility".

I have tried both method. Firstly, i load X5 but will a blue screen?! Can anyone help?

Your help is much appreciated! thanks a bunch!
[HTC One X] Us3Less:
Heard there is no more updates for Papago X5 since it's a bit outdated ........ M9 is out , working fine on HOX

Inside the organic folder, there are also some sub folders in it, open up all the sub folders and rename the resolution that you need

but do mind you, X5 don't support landscape and the menu button is awkwardly placed at the center

[General Questions and Answers] tom_gs2:
Hi guys. I have a galaxy s2 running CM9. While android 4.0 is awesome, sometimes I find the UI a bit disjoint because all the apps use the menu button for menus(not the overflow UI introduced in ICS). Is there is any mod or ROM that I can install, so apps default to menu overflow UI rather than using the menu button for menus. Even better if the menu button on the gs2 can be made to function as the 'recent apps button' and legacy apps get a pop up menu bar (similar to how HTC sense 4.0 handles menu for legacy apps).

Thanks in advance

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iorveth:
Hello everyone,

I am new to the forums, actually this is my first post.

I got a Motorola Razr XT910 and couldn't be any happier. The phone is awesome and fast and everything is amazing.

i did one update once i got the phone and it updated to 2.3.6 and the system version is 65.1.40.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03 and i was frustrated because i live in the US and i bought the Phone from an online store(NEWEGG) for $480,

So now i am stuck on Asia system software.

The question is, Is there a way to get a system software like a US or EU software ? and is it worth it ? what are the differences ?

Also one more thing, when i watch videos from the DESKTOP YOUTUBE and OTHER VIDEOS ONLINE(High Definition MP4) or stuff like that. i find like a little black horizontal lines on the top of the screen(its barley visible) in fact no one from can see it except me XD. so i was wondering if there is a driver or update or something ? as it don't happen when i watch normal YouTube on the YouTube app nor i can see it when using the phone normally.

Thank you all. Hope i will find answers in this forum.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zkvvoob:
Hi there,

I was in your situation, only in Europe, not in the US. So I switched my AsiaRetail ROM to a en.EU retail and I've had no problems whatsoever. What you need to do is read these three topics:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1539192 - get RSD Lite and the Moto drivers from here, install them before attempting anything else;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362956 - get a ROM of your liking then go to

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342567 - and read how to root (if you want, that is).

As for the black lines, I really can't help you as I don't watch online videos on my phone.

If you need further help, let me know.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iorveth:
Man, thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate the effort. I really do !

Just one more question though, whats the difference ? and when will i be getting the official ICS upgrade ? and will it come faster on EU or Asia retail ? or both are the same ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Newbieshwa:
You don't want US because that is Verizon software, for the Xt912 (CMDA). I suggest you get EU, to obtain the fastest set of updates for the GSM razr.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iorveth:
What happens if i change it to the EU.Retail ? will i still be able to get updates and ICS officially ? will this void my warranty ? please help !
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Newbieshwa:
Yes you will get OTA ICS and it shouldn't void any warranty as long as your remove root (should you hand it back in)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iorveth:
So if i change the ROM to EU i have to root but after changing the ROM and everything is fine then i need to remove the root ?

i heard that root is not removable ?! right ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] iolinux333:
i have Asia retail in US and it works beautifully. i see no reason to change.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Iorveth:
the only reason why i want to change it is because i hope that the phone will get updates faster and the camera will work better and the phone performance will be better too :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rockene:
so after installing the motorola drivers, download the RSD lite and the eu retail rom whats next? im already rooted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caysman:
Previously on the older 4.0.4 I lost the GSM signal AND could not recover signal every day after my phone went to deep sleep.

Since I updated, this morning is the ONLY day so far that I lost signal and did not recover signal.

Looks like this fix is not perfect but it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drift spunk:
You needed to create a new topic for this?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caysman:
arguably yes, isn't it the most important thing this update is supposed to address? There's no bug thread on 4.0.4 IMM76I. pray tell what you would have done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krex:
There is another one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1614575

I think you should extend this thread title with "for me". Because who had the "real" signal drop during sleep issue, the new OTA fixed it for them. Probably you have another issue, what is look-a-like the signal issue, but it is not that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ra990:
I never experienced the issue, but I love how everybody is assuming that this new build fixes this notorious issue. I have yet to see a change log or any kind of information from Google that explains what was done in this release other than "a few kernel tweaks." People's posts on XDA quickly turn into accepted facts of information without any kind of verification.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Fixed it for me. What do you think it was?

sent with 3g courage. better recognize. 4g courage coming soon. stock up on diapers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ra990:
I have no idea, but shouldn't these things be logged somewhere? It would be nice if Google issued some release notes with their releases so people can stop speculating whether a certain bug was fixed or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
Some people don't feel there is a need to do a factory default after every update, I on the other hand disagree.

When I changed over to Yakju, I did a factory default and wiped everything. I never had a signal drop issue at all.

However when I got the new small update via OTA, I decided to let it run for a bit without the factory default.... As such, I experienced one drop as noted on Signal Alert.

Immediately I did a factory default and wiped everything again. Haven't had one signal drop since...

So not saying there never was a problem to begin with, but it does seem that factory defaulting after every update causes things to run a lot more smooth, permanently. At least for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ra990:
Agreed. I always do a reset then restore particular apps with titbu. No software issues so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] renzs:
Will try this when I get home today. It's really irritating me how my signal just drops and I have to do a "Airplane Mode On/Off" to reacquire signal.

It actually got worse since I updated to IMM76I.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taylerdurden:
A slightly sloppy whenever you install an update you have to do wipe the phone .. It should not be so
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
IMM76I was just a kernel. The kernel reverts the radio and voltage changes.

If folks really believe that IMM76I was not a fix, they could easily run an old 4.0.3 kernel. If it fixes it, then the problem is IMM76I, if it does not, then they are pointing their finger in the wrong direction.

Here is a 4.0.3 image I found. Fastboot it.

Well I tested 3 mics from 2 webcams and one headset, the headset was the Xbox live one and it sucked crap, and the 2 Logitech webcams were Logitech V-UM14 and V-UBC40, I settled for the one from the ubc40 as it seemed better than the um14.

About the Nokia one, I don't know if it would work as there are no solder points and you gotta take into consideration the size, both my webcams and the headset and the tablet had mics that were really close in size :)

i reconnect the battery & the powersupply to see if it will charge or power on > Didn't worked

it's working for now, reset the tablet ....wait n see...... :)

External Mic

Perhaps a silly question, but how difficult would it be to drill a small hole in the plastic near the microphone and solder wires to the mic location? And what would the max length of wire possible? Just rough guesses, I know it's pretty hard to be specific on stuff like that. Reason is that I have mine installed in my car as a head unit and was curious if I could run wire from the tablet to a mic mounted in the roof/headliner so that I could issue voice commands in a normal volume. I'd post a pic of my install but I don't have enough posts.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] manzanana:
What could happen if i disconnect the other connectors first instead of the battery connector?

Can op maybe chime in on what you would need to do ?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rharms77:
I second this, as I've already got mind mounted in dash in my 350Z. Ive found a few apps that help me get the screen back on when I start the car, but having a physical power button would be great. I also would like having the mic externally mounted too. Being able to use google now voice commands while driving would be amazing.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] das_webos_transformer:
You could solder a button on. And the same for a mic.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rharms77:
Do you possibly have a source that would show how that could be done? I've opened it up a couple times for just that purpose and I wasn't sure how I could
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] das_webos_transformer:
i dont really have an exact source, but you could look up a video on how to solder and be fine. really cant be difficult. not something i would try. you would also have to be a beast at soldering.

so the purposed supplies would be

-thin solder

-very fine point soldering pencil tip

-magnet wire(the very thin colorfully insulated kind)

After I'm done porting Halo into like 6 ROMs I'll look at the switch and see, its just a momentary button so it shouldn't be that crazy, 2 or 3 contacts and done I would think.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - Carbon
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] das_webos_transformer:
It's a momentary tactile switch. I'm guessing 2 contacts for the power button and some more for the led. You'd only need the power button, but you'd need to be a boss to do it. Might be able to remap the home button to unlock too.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] rharms77:
Hey, thanks for responding! When I was looking into relocating it, it looked a bit past my skill level for soldering. Bigger stuff is no problem, but tiny, pcb mounted switches are whole other level that I havent reached yet.

hey there, as the title says, I'm interested in the nook color.

I have a nook simple touch, rooted, but want to be able to get a bit more of a true tablet experience.

1) hows battery life? I mostly intend to actually read, view pdfs, some online browsing, and note talking. essentially, does the nook color battery do well w a lot of usage?

2) how is cm7 or ics coming along? do these improve battery at all, or hurt it from stock?

3) why did you chose your nooo color over what options you were considering?

4) is there an "updated" model coming soon that might replace the color?

thanks guys!

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamo75:
Hi,

after using Nook color on CM for a year, currently on CM7.2-RC1 MiRaGe - KANG built 04/16/2012 , I can say:

- battery is ok. With your type of usage you''l get at 8 hours of usage on one charge. Playing games and watching video will reduce it to say minimum of 5 hours. This are my estimates on my device being in use for a year now.

You can extend battery life with disabling Wifi and reducing screen brightness when not needing it, i.e. reading ebooks.

- CM7.2-RC1 MiRaGe - KANG built 04/16/2012 is one of fastest, smoothest ROMs for NC. Can't say what stock would last, but based on upper info i'd say it doesn't hurt. Other ROMs can have different effects.

- i chose NC over Ipad and GTab due to price, more free apps and smaller factor at the time. GTAB is also 7" now. HP touchpad is also good alternative.

- Nook Tablet came before new year as a successor and wasn't a great improvement. It's not likely for a newer model to vcome out soon, but who knows.

If you got money, more expensive tablets are smoother, quicker and 10 inch screen might be better for browsing, using screen keyboard for notes, etc. Otherwise NC with CM is a very decent tablet - actually usefull compared with similarly priced tablets of less known origin.

Hope this helps.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anniraff:
+1 on CM7.2-RC1 MiRaGe - KANG build, particularly if most of what you will be doing is reading (Aldiko, Kindle and B&N 'droid apps are all good; I use EasyPDF reader for that format.) You may also come to appreciate the updates -- not so many as earlier, but the NC has been out a while now. And, if you want to have some extra fun, try out racks' triple boot (Stock in your internal, both CM7 and CM9 (ICS) on your SD card, boot to what you like. The NC is not only great for what you plan to use it for, it's a helluva tech toy that cannot be bricked! Ever!
