[General Questions and Answers] yuseiatlas:
Do you have the ADB files ?
[General Questions and Answers] JamesJoey:
Yes. There on my SD.
[General Questions and Answers] GeekyNitz:
If you can still go to download mode and recovery mode then you can still fix it. I'm a newbie tho.. I think it's what you called softbricked?
[General Questions and Answers] yuseiatlas:
Go so copy them to the c:\ drive in a folder named something like android
[General Questions and Answers] yuseiatlas:
And run a comand prompt (start--->run---->cmd)

And write the following

Cd c:\android ( or what ever u named the file with the ADB)

Then write

adb reboot recover ( do it until your device is in recovery then restore ur ROM )

BTW can you boot your phone in download or recovery if you can just go from there to recovery and resote it
[General Questions and Answers] JamesJoey:
I thought In saw the ADB files on my SD. But what I saw is a clockkworkmod folder with recover-update.zip.
[General Questions and Answers] yuseiatlas:
When you rooted your device did you download a file with the name "ADB" ?
[General Questions and Answers] JamesJoey:
Not that I'm aware of.

I am able to get to the recover screen by holding down the Vol Down alo0ng with theb Power button until I see the little t-mobile guy and the open box. I then press the Home key and it starts formatting:

'Formatting DATA:...'

'Formatting Cache:...'

'Formatting MISC:...'

But, it stops there. From the menu I tried to select 'Apply sdcard:update.zi'p, but when I press the Power button nothing happens.
[General Questions and Answers] yuseiatlas:
No at this point dont install any update now you go onto back up/ restore then you restore the ROM you backed up before

Again recovery---> backup/restore ---> back up----> previously backed up ROM
[General Questions and Answers] JamesJoey:
How do I get to "Again recovery---> backup/restore ---> back up----> previously backed up ROM" There are no options for this.

The phone only boots into Android system recovery if I hold the Down Volume and pressing the power button after turning off the device.
[General Questions and Answers] yuseiatlas:
You access them from the CMW recovery
[General Questions and Answers] JamesJoey:
You'll have to excuse me. How do I get to CMW memory?!
[General Questions and Answers] yuseiatlas:
You have a recovery menu that is the ClockWork Mod recovery (CMW) correct?

You access thr back and restore throug the CMW recovery menu
[General Questions and Answers] JamesJoey:
No. It's the Android system recovery utility. There is no option to recover and when I select any of the 4 menu selections and press the Power button nothing happens. I have to pull the battery.

I took the phone to t-mobile and they believe it's bricked. They're sending my a new phone.
[General Questions and Answers] yuseiatlas:
You can download stock ROM an flash it using Odin and unbrick your device
[General Questions and Answers] JamesJoey:
How might i doe that?
[General Questions and Answers] yuseiatlas:
Do uou know how to go to download mode?
[General Questions and Answers] JamesJoey:
No.

But I'll give it a shot.

Though, I think I might just count my losses and wait for the new phone.

Questions as asked in the post heading...

Im mainly just trying to make the RAZR work on Tmobile, possibly install a custom rom as well. Can anybody walk me through it??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] aktrazer:
I'm pretty sure this will brick your phone. I've heard horror stories of people going from CDMA->GSM. I could be incorrect as I've never personally done it, but people who have done it have had lots of problems. I know there is a GSM patch out there, but like I said, I can't confirm it.

Anyone else know anything?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tarster:
I have done it on a second init system via bootmenu and it didn't do anything other than make my radio and data not work. You just can't access anything.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mobilehavoc:
How to check: Install BetterBatteryStats and then check Kernel Wakelocks.

It seems bam_dmux_wakelock has something to do with mobile data. It's sort of the equivalent of the wlan_rx wakelock which is for keeping the WiFi signal active when the screen is off. I've tested and verified that if you turn on wi-fi and use that, bam_dmux_wakelock stops happening (since now wlan_rx wakelock is there) but the moment you turn off wi-fi the bam_dmux_wakelock starts going.

What's odd is I've had my phone off the charger for 6 hours but yet the bam_dmux_wakelock has only been running for about an hour...the only thing that seems to coincide with this is using Bluetooth to stream audio (although I did that earlier without issue too!).

I'll post a screenshot below as an example but I'm hoping by finding others with this problem we can find root cause and fix it!

Thanks.

What is known:

- It is related to 3G/LTE radio and not wifi

- Turning the phone's airplane mode on stops bam_dmux_wakelock from occurring. Turning Airplane mode off and when data connects, bam_dmux_wakelock starts again.

- Turning Wifi on stops bam_dmux_wakelock from occurring

- Rebooting the phone DOES NOT STOP bam_dmux_wakelock from occurring without uninstalling any apps or changing anything. So this is present at boot-up.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeruoc:
I have noticed this also. It have tied it to Bluetooth in my car. When I paired my S3 with my car it asked me if I wanted to let the car download my address book. I said yes but did not check the "Remember this choice". So the next time I got in and it asked I told it no and then checked the remember box. From what I can tell this was causing my car to keep asking my phone for the address book over and over. I have since redid the paring and allow the address book to sync each time I get in the car and this as stopped this wake lock for me so far. It has helped my batt also. When I was in the car the battery was dropping fast. Now it does not. Next time it happens try tuning off BT and see if it stops.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mobilehavoc:
Thought it was Bluetooth too but turning it off has no impact on this.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeruoc:
I think BAM is Bluetooth something. So I think it is tied to BT. But as I think about it that does follow mine also. Once it started which was each time I got in my car it would not stop the battery drain unless I rebooted. Even if I did not use the car. So the way I see it once you trip it there is no stopping it unless you reboot. But that be different than what you are seeing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mobilehavoc:
See the problem with that is even after a reboot it starts and runs a little although not constantly without even connecting BT. If we at least knew what it stood for it would make it easier to troubleshoot. Also if it's Bluetooth it doesn't make sense for it to stop when you switch to wifi. It has to do with the mobile radio and mobile data for sure

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeruoc:
Ok so doing some more playing and my latest guess is the firmware update. So I went in and tried to check for an update date just for the heck of it. Right after that I started to notice the phone being just a bit warm. Then an hour or so later I could see the battery was dropping. Bam waitlock was there also. I did 2 things and one of them stopped it. I flipped air plane mode on and off and the turned mobile data off and on. The mobile data one I read in another thread that stopped it. Once I did that phone cooled and battery decline stopped. Now when I do a check for an update I get an error that it can not reach the server and it will try again in 48 hours. That seems strange to me. Every other android phone I have owned will say something along the lines like " your software is up to date" or something like that. So I am wondering if this starts when the phone tries to check for an update and can not reach the server and keeps trying or something that keeps the radio alive. See if you can recreate it. I will be watching mine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mobilehavoc:
Yeah definitely not Bluetooth - haven't used Bluetooth (has been off) and I've been getting bam_dmux wakelock. I think it has to do with keeping the mobile radio active so the phone can send/receive data. Have you tried turning off autosync and seeing if that makes it stop? I have a feeling similar to keeping Wifi awake, this wakelock keeps the radio awake so the phone can receive data. I bet the less stuff you have running that's waiting for updates the better!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeruoc:
My guess is we will need a firmware update to fix this. It is either something deep in the radio or internal processes since we can not really see it in any tool.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ChrisG683:
I know it's a bit of an old thread, but has there been any progress made discovering what this is? I've been trying to tackle my battery usage issues and this is one of my big sleep wake offenders.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jayrod88:
I'd also like to know this...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phuturist:
Add me to the list of people who cant figure out what is causing this wakelock. There is very little info about it on the internet.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gcamp0730:
I just made a discovery - I had recently installed Google Tracks and played with it a bit. Shortly after that is when I started noticing the bam_dmux_wakelock. It finally clicked today that Tracks could be the culprit. So I saved the tracks I had created, uninstalled, and no more bam_dmux_wakelock! Well, that's not entirely true - it's still there, but instead of being *hours* of usage it's down to seconds.

Does anyone else who has noticed this have Tracks installed? If so, will you try uninstalling it to see if you have the same results I did?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeruoc:
I think you are on to something. I noticed my Google maps had its location settings turned on for Latitude. So my phone was tracking me and uploading my location. I turned this off and of course battery was much better but all most no bam_wakelock. Check and see if this is turned on by going to maps then Location Settings. Turn them all off. Unless you want your friends to be able to track you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mobilehavoc:
BAM dmux is for mobile data so anything that keeps mobile data connection open it will show up. Stands for broadband access multiplier demultiplier. It's normal.

Just means something is keeping data connection alive. I did more research.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phuturist:
Thanx for the explanation. I'm gonna try to find the culprit then.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gcamp0730:
A combination of uninstalling Tracks and disabling the Google auto-backup solved my battery drain problem. Took a reboot after turning off backup before I really saw a difference, though.

My bam_dmux_wakelock is still there, but nowhere near the level it was before. And after reading the above explanation that makes sense.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phuturist:
For me disabling the auto starts from Google Maps and using tasker to schedule Google sync instead of using auto sync has made a world of difference.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gcamp0730:
What did you use to disable the auto starts for maps? I've heard of people doing that but haven't researched it myself.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phuturist:
I use an app called Autostarts ... :thumbup:

You can find a tutorial in the thread from betterbatterystats.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gcamp0730:
Thanks. Never noticed that particular tutorial in the thread before. Used Gemini App Manager instead of Autostarts and it appears I've accomplished what I needed to. So far having very good life compared to before. Thanks again for the heads up!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Vcize:
I've been having the same issue with bam_dmux_wakelock.

Question for those others that have also been having it. When you first got your phone, did you sync your google account (apps, etc) or just start fresh? I had mine pull in my apps/settings from my transformer tablet via sync so I'm wondering if that has something to do with it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rpavich:
As a relative noob....can you tell me how you do this?

I have Rom Tool box that allows me to turn off all autostarts app by app but I was unsure of what I could turn off or not.

Also, I have tasker and I get how to use it but how to you get it to sync instead of auto sync? What are your settings etc....

sorry to be such a noob but this would be advantagous for me to do also.

I directly logged in and had it sync with my Google accounts.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] V-Ty:
I have the problem as well as everybody else. I will try the things suggested but here is my question. Why is there only a handful of us that its showing up for??? My 1st instinct being a noob was its because of all the stuff on my lockscreen since it says wakelock. I have the news at the bottom with the short cuts, pattern lock, as well as swipe effect. Could that maybe be what's causing it??? I will remove all things from lock screen, reboot, and report back in a few hours to see if there's a drop.

7 days without prayer makes 1 weak...

Has anyone successfully solved this? if so how
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radeon_x:
There's no real problem to solve. This wake lock is just a effect of some other app using a frequent network connection while the phone is sleeping. Do you have Latitude enabled? Exchange sync? Anything that uses lots of background data will reflect here...

Im on T-mobile Galaxy S3 and just wanted to throw this out there because ive been monitoring my battery for quite some time now and only ran into this issue today. The only thing I installed new was Skype (Yesterday). I uninstalled it now and will let you guys know what I find.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jaydee77ca:
I have this issue on my Galaxy S3. I notice that it only seems to happen after unplugging my phone from the USB cable attached to my Windows 7 64 bit computer at work. I also notice that during the same time as that wake lock the Security Service is running constantly consuming like 25% CPU and the phone feels very warm. I don't know those are related.

If I had a theory it might be that the Security Service is scanning something and that scan is taking a super long time and thus the wake_lock keeps the phone awake while the Security Service is running.

I'm not sure why that Security Service spins off in to never never land like that though. Today I had it consume 10% of my battery in under an hour.

I have tried reformatting my SD card and that didn't seem to solve anything.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MercilessLTD:
For me, it is always Maps location reporting being set to update automatically. If you go into the Settings of Maps, under Location settings, the first option ("Location reporting") is default to "Detect your location." By setting it to "Do not update your location," I greatly reduce my bam_dmux_wakelock every time I flash a new ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mystique:
Hey all, vzw gs3 owner here..

In Google now, settings, privacy and accounts, Google location..

I unchecked that box.

I still have Google checked under location services.. I do not use Google maps; rather I use Waze and do not have Google maps installed at all.. Or Gmail.. I use maildroid..

Also beautiful widgets uses Google geo location to display the location.. I tell it to use an alternate geo locater.. Which is faster (for me) that Google.

I also (again cdma/LTE vzw..) use phone infotool to set my phone to cdma auto prl rather than LTE..

Not sure what that does to this.. But..

Also I use gsam (play store) rather than better battery.. I found something somewhere saying that better battery contributes to this wakelock..

Ymmv.. I'm open to any feedback.

Latest modem (MF1) and 4.1.2 over here and custom kernel (lean kernel) 192mhz - 1242mhz all under volted. Custom ondemand gov with row or deadline.. Brightness at 40%..

I can respond and tell you for the first time I saw this today on my vs980 g2.. a 52 second wakelock so nothing horrible hy itself (and considering tje other locks were only a few seconds). Wish i caught it closer to whem it happened
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxp69:
Same issue on vs980 LG G2 stock/rooted 12b. I started stopping/freezing individual programs/services until it stopped.

Bluetooth - No impact

Background Sync - No impact

Keep WiFi on during sleep - Always, Only when plugged in, Keep WiFi off - No impact (on bam_demux)

Disabling Google Location Services - No impact

Freeze Google+ = Yahtzee! Down from ~40% to 1.7%. 2nd or 3rd on my list after Powermanager/alarm_rtc/sms_async. Powermanager is the highest consumer at 10% over time now.

Now I'm off to see about unfreezing G+ and modifying some of its settings like auto-backup etc.

Hope this helps, it worked for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 5hplayer:
Are you using tasker? I had a profile which triggers on location by radio not by gps. Seems like this caused the wakelock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] scuttlefield:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] luckie10:
It's not a problem per say. As radeon_x said previously:

This means if you have a ton of apps that sync using data you will have this wakelock. The more often they since the more you will have it. Apps such as Gmail that use push notifications are in particular nasty as they are quite active. Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp and the like are also quite costly.

Things that could help reduce this wakelock would be increasing the time between sync in apps.

Disabling/Uninstalling any apps you do not use that sync.

Hibernating apps with Greenify app.

And I personally find Wifi to be much more battery efficient (this will give you a different wakelock, wlan_... )

I think it's related to google location tracking.

Go to Google Settings from app tray, location, google location reporting, and disable both "Location Reporting" and "Location History".

These two options reports back your locations as you move around. You will find all the data when you login, http://maps.google.com/locationhistory .

You might be surprise how much information Google collected over time. :) I usually delete the history. :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] azazza:
so i've been struggling with this wakelock for years.. first on GS2 and now on GS5. I tried literally tens of combinations - root/no root, stock, other roms etc, and nothing changes it.

The best i've managed to narrow it down to is that something in one of the google services/apps is keeping it awake due to a DATA connection, doesn't matter if wifi or 1/2/3/4g. The annoying thing is i don't think it actually transmit much data, as no network tool i've used has identified a single app that is hogging the internet connection. It just seems to sit there awake and do nothing.

The biggest giveaway that something is wrong is that on BBS there will be hours when the phone is at 300kHz state, i.e. just above sleep.

It's doing my head in and nothing i've seen has had a measurable impact.

BTW, when i'm abroad and internet connection is disabled, i get 3-4 days battery whereas sometimes my less than a year old S5 phone will be dead after 8 hours.

If anyone has had a brainwave in the meantime, it'd be great to hear it.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aQmusicX:
Can you navigate to the exact way to solve this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] luanlc:
shuree!

go to system "settings", then find "language and input".

there should be Google Keyboard. Click on the gear to go to its configurations.

Go to "Accounts and Privacy", then disable the last option (Send statistics)

To all which have the bam dmux wakelock and are reading this here: Like other guys said: The wakelock is normal by android.

The only thing you can do is showing under settings > data consumption which app eats lotta data, then you should try out deactivate it and show how the battery life is. If you have luck you find an app which triggers your battery drain.
