I have been on 2.3.5 nonefi and than flashed 2.3.6 (not nonefi) retail using the RDS and after that I installed an ota update using the motocast so I expect that there should be no problem with updates as long as you are flashing stock roms...

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

...but its better to do a nandroid backup of your current version and keep it somewhere...-you know - just in case... ;-)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] capsali:
Aham...can you tell me what firmware should i flash for my phone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
try to look here

I flashed this 2.3.5

Market Segment: EuropeAustraliaEMEA

Version: 651.167.20

Android Version: 2.3.5

and then update via the motocast to the latest 2.3.6

but maybe you will find full EuropeAustraliaEMEA 2.3.6

In fact as long as you are flashing emea version of the stock rom you should be ok...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] timhl7:
My phone had same firmware as you. I have flashed four different euro roms and they work . OTA s also work
[Motorola Droid RAZR] capsali:
i have another problem and i don't know how to solve it...i tried searching for it on the forum but i'm not at home and i can't be very thourgh . I'm trying to make a backup of my current firmware with bootstrap . I reboot into recovery but when i select cu back-up and select sdcard it says it cannot mount sdcard . Do i need a separate sdcard? And if so how big is the file . A 2 gb card will suffice?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
Yes - you need a sdcard because it makes the backup there...

I am not sure about the size but you can try that 2gb...-it depends...the compressed backup of my phone is +/- 1gb

try and you will see... :-)

I new in motorola world and help me plz.

How are you flashed this 2.3.5 rom and how flash via motocast 2.3.6

sorry for my english

Same version nonefi 651.73.30 i hope
[Motorola Droid RAZR] capsali:
As i understand from the posts above if u have the same firmware as me 651.73.30.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.eu and u want retail first we must flash this

Branding: RETAIL en.EU

Market Segment: EuropeAustraliaEMEA

Android Version: 2.3.5

SPU: 11 M1-2

ROM Type: Service

Radio Version: U_03.1C.85P

from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1362956 (you have the download link above ) .

Then after flashing with rsd lite we must connect the phone to the pc and using motocast to update it to 2.3.6 (the update will launch automaticaly i think when motocast is launched ) .

I'm wainting for now to find my 2 gb sdcard so i can do a bootstrap backup of my current system in case anything goes wrong or for the warranty .

So good luck becouse i know ill need it :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] capsali:
Another thing i forgot to ask...Sorry for so many posts but im new to android :)

If i flash the retail firmware and then update through motocast to 2.3.6 will i be albe to go back to my original firmware in case of warranty situations? Ofcourse after i do a backup of the current firmware...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
If you make an nandroid backup you can revert your phone/rom to the state as it was when you made the backup so after the restore there will be that nonefi 2.3.5 again...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] capsali:
when you say nandroid backup you mean backup with bootstrap right? I found my sdcard so i'm going to make a backup and then off we go with the flashing:)...What do you recommend rsd lite or fla****?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
yes - the bootstrap....

it doesnt matter which tool you use...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cvetican:
:)

.

Ok thanks i will try..

any way first i use rsd lite and flash this http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/SPDREM_U_01.6.5.1-73_SPU-11-M1-2_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml.zip

and second use motocast the flash android 2.3.6 it is corect....:):)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] capsali:
Yeap....but first make backup of your current rom...

To do this you need root . You can root ur phone using zergrush (thats how i did it ) and it automatically installs bootstrap...then using bootstrap boot into recovery and select backup/restore and again backup using volumebuttons to scroll . YOu need an external sdcard .After its finished place the backup somewhere safe on ur pc or anywhere and proceed with flashing...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cvetican:
2.3.6

Successful flash phone to 2.3.6 thanks to all:p:p
[Motorola Droid RAZR] capsali:
so i finally flashed the retail firmware and now if i go to about phone->system updates it says its found an update 651.167.26.en.eu...should i update? And does rootkeeper retain my root?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] maarawoe:
if you are on rooted 2.3.6 and have rootkeeper it should be ok to update...

Ive Checked MD5 Sums on the file and they are correct

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefi.com:
Hi, I had similar problem with installing slim ICS for Desire [based Sandvold]. After couple of tries I notice, that problem seem be in boot.img, recovery didn't flash boot.img. Manual flash boot.img from your ROM zip archive over fastboot may resolve your problem too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuar:
Thanks, may give it a go but just flashed cm7.2 and fallen back in love with it so ill take the knowledge on board again ;)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuar:
He is saying you unzip the rom that you are trying to flash, then go into Fastboot and then use the command: fastboot flash boot.img

Personally never done it as i just gave up and moved onto cyanogenmod kangs, and there amazing currently

Not 100% sure about the command but someone will correct me if im wrong
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sechzman:
Hey now.

I currently have an HTC Desire Z. I rooted it and have had several roms on it. Currently it's running the ICS rom Mexidroid Fried Icecream 3. It's great and I love it. It runs all the apps I use smooth, the keyboard rocks, the battery life is good enough and it basically does everything I want from a phone.

The problem is that the phone is shutting itself off at totally random times. It sometimes happens when I'm doing something, sometimes it happens when it's just laying on my desk. It seems 100% random. It just shuts off without warning and doesn't auto re-start itself. This happens with any rom installed. I tried all the the basic things like full wipe, format SD card etc, but it keeps happening.

Sometimes it happens 3 times in an hour, sometimes it doesn't happen for a week. When it works, it works great and I love it, but I can't really rely on it anymore which is a bit of a deal breaker.

Unless one of you fellas has one last golden tip for me (which I secretly hope because I'm still very happy with this phone), It looks like I'm in the market for a new phone.

My requirements are pretty simple:

Full QWERTY keyboard

Similar sized screen or bigger (3.7")

At least a dual core

Rootable

Compatible with GSM (I live in the Netherlands)

The Droid 4 seems pretty much the only realistic option for me. *edit* scratch that. Just found out it's not a GSM phone...

I saw in another thread here that there isn't much on the horizon in terms of new QWERTY phones, with is a bummer.

Sorry 'bout that, mods.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sechzman:
Anyone got any advice?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shinare:
Hey all,

I posted this in wolf's thread as well as the thread here but not have not fixed yet so I thought I would post this problem in it's own thread.

I successfully downgraded my prime using the tool (batch file) to .15 with a US blob for my (what was) US .21 prime. I rooted with the tool and then voodoo OTA and protected root.

The prime sees the OTA to .21 and downloads it. Asks me to install it. When I say OK it boots into the android guy with the spinning wire mesh. The progress bar makes it up to around %25 and the android guy falls on his back and theres a triangle with a "!" in his open stomach. It sits there for 1 maybe 2 minutes and reboots back into .15 saying there was an error and I've been reverted back to .15.

In searching, I found a thread that detailed some steps that might prevent an update from installing. It started out by looking at the log located in /cache/ to find out what the problem is and fix it. However, my /cache/ folder is empty with no sub-folders.

I've been told it may be my build.prop. I don't think I have added or changed anything in it without changing it right back to the way it was. I change the model and manufacturer once to see if I could get a game from google play but changed them back to exactly what they were (including case).

Would anyone care to link me to a trustworthy .15 build.prop (trustworthy so I dont brick my device putting someone's practical joke in as build.prop). If thats the problem that might fix it.

I have a TB backup so if a complete wipe and factory reset is in order I'm up for that but not even sure how to go about that with the TFP. But I hope theres an easier way if anyone knows one. Would love to get back on the update path and also use the GPS dongle that came in yesterday.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
PM'ed you.

Sorry, I get so busy being lazy and working at the same times that I get a little jumbled :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shinare:
Thank you so much bux! First thing I learned is that just because a file explorer program says it can explore root doesn't mean it does a good job. Thanks for pointing me to root explorer app. There actually were folders in my cache folder with log files. Second thing I learned was editing ur build.prop even putting it back exactly the way it was messes with the update check. Thank u for all ur help. I'M NOW .21 ROOTED WOOWOO!!! The build.prop was in fact the culprit. If I could give thanks from this xda app I'd give u 20! (Actually 21!)

Edit-you can give thanks from this!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Lol, yes, in the reply menu. Good stuff, glad it's worked out! I may edit this last post with a public link to the unmodified build.prop in my DB account, we'll see :cool:

*EDIT:

Just for other's reference if they face similar issues. Also never hurts to have yet another unmodified build.prop somewhere on the web lol
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrCat226:
no FOTA

first sorry for my bad english.

i am i the same setuation BUT some kind difrent)

my prime was at the ARM(replace the main bourd) it came back witch US 9.4.2.21(my original was WW 9.4.2.21) no idea why thy do that, i use the moded vipermod to downgrade to 15 witch WW blob, all seems ok

then root+backroot and traying to see if there an FOTA update, NO FOTA update

"there is no update available for your device currently" i tray all the blobs(US,WW,DE,CN,TW) still no FOTA:(:confused:

i dont tray et your build.prop
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Have you tried locating your DMClient in your apps and clearing its data/cache? Try that and see if maybe blob'ing between regions didn't just discombobulate it. The build.prop wouldn't help you there I don't think. I hate to say it, but try a factory reset?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrCat226:
hi

yes. no efect

the same

i iven tried to put the FOTA menuali

dlpkgfile in the terminal:dd if=/sdcard/dlpkgfile of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

it copy the file but dont see the update
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Hmm. I haven't had a chance to collect all the different dlpkgfile files yet, I'm setting off on that adventure soon so hopefully I may run into your issue while I install all the different blobs.

I really don't know at this point. Have you also tried this route?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrCat226:
hi

now traing)

but 1 thing

can i put the FOTA update file(dlpkgfile) in the zip file or some how use the file?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
I'm not sure. I don't think so, if I'm understanding you correctly. Do you mean you'd like to put the dlpkgfile that you have into the ASUS update zip?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrCat226:
hi

yes.

when the device detect that ther is an update, it download the update as a ZIP? or this is what it download(dlpkgfile)?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Yes, when your Prime detects an update it downloads dlpkgfile to your /cache/ directory, and upon reboot updates the Prime. So putting a .21 WW dlpkgfile in your cache directory should update you to .21 WW.

The last one I linked to involving the UPDATE.zip has you manually update your Prime from recovery, as a last resort kind of thing and should work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrCat226:
hi

i tried this. it dont see the update

after this trick in the cache folder i found 2 new files "last_log" "last_install"

No OTA after motherboard replacement

There is another post having a very similar complaint in:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25890334&postcount=258

I have an extremely similar issue, that is:

Bought a TF201 on March 2012, updated OTA (several times) up to ICS .21

Sent to the local (Israel) lab complaining for WIFI and GPS issues.

Received back with the motherboard replaced.

Changes that were observed:

* MAC addresses (Bluetooth and WIFI) have changed - well... MB has been replaced...

* MAC of the BT does not appear under the about -> status menu

* S/N unknown under the same menu

* SKU is US (.21) instead of the original WW

I cannot say I feel any improvement with the WIFI or the GPS.

(BTW, the GPS dongle arrived a day after and that one makes miracles!

But only on .21! Furthermore, it is rather big [has the length of the TF201] so I guess I will not carry it with me daily)

Tried the wolf downgrade (US .15) - works fine.

Wiped as suggested on his page.

No OTA!

(rooted or unrooted)

Tried WW .15 and US .14 as well.

No OTA.

Waited over 24h (as suggested in some webpages).

Found the ratchet solution for S/N fixing - still no OTA (neither on WW nor US .15) - all wiped as well (long vol-down press while turning on + 2 x vol-up presses while wipe is flashing).

I've been through 3 factory resets in a row (As suggested in some sites) - both on .15 as well as .21

I'm just about to contact the seller and ask for a replacement (but I really don't feel like it).

I hope a solution is found in the next couple of days as I'm afraid I will have to deal with the seller by Sunday otherwise.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] MrCat226:
hi

Exactly the same problem!

BUT i put back the S/N(ratchet) witch no efect(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
That sucks. Can't believe they're so sloppy they can't even make an annotation in the paperwork what firmware you were already on and give it back how they received it.

I'll keep looking around, but it's likely going to take someone more ingenious than I to come up with a solution since you're getting the SN Unknown issue. Does ASUS not even have properly working NVflash?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fadenb:
Hi,

just recently i installed the CM9-Beta on my Desire Z. I love it! But of course there is this one tiny problem that breaks the deal for me:

I am unable to establish a VPN connection using the Junos pulse app.

All posts I found until now were referring to missing tun modules or missing /dev/net/tun device nodes. The kernel supplied in the CM9-Beta image has the tun feature compiled into the kernel.

You can find an excerpt from logcat on pastie.org/3886663 (ooh seems like I am not allowed to link to external websites, see content below the post).

Any idea what I could try to get this working (except flashing my old rom ;) )?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matteone:
on my galaxy tab 7, itwas just the tun.ko module that did not get loaded - youcan solve either issuing a insmod tun.ko or downloadig and running an app from the market,called tun.ko installer.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fadenb:
The tun module was compiled into the kernel. It seems like the new version of the junos pulse app is working fine now.

Perhaps it was never a problem of the system itself.

It is working now -> issue closed for me :)

I informed people what i used which was launcherLi as an idea. The launcher uses most of LauncherLi Main Xml's Smali's ETC. So basically if you want the source just open up a LauncherLi APK. Because alot of things are the same. I understand if i built this launcher straight from the ground up without any original sources. Then i would use github to distribute my source. I didnt even touch any settings in the CM9 ROM just the launcher and Boot animation. Since this launcher uses LauncherLi main Sources i cannot post the source strictly because it collaborates with the original developer, That is for him to do not me.
