[Motorola Droid RAZR] Postaldude:
Hey,

I'm currently running my Razr on this version (still Gingerbread 2.3.6). Until recently, I avoided to flash any custom ROMs on my RAZR, because I wasn't sure, if that might work with this obviously branded Vodafone firmware.

My questions are now:

1. is this a branded version at all?

2. is it possible to debrand it?

3. if not, is it possible to use any of the ROMs around arbitrarily?

4. is it possible to unroot and flash back to normal systemconditions in case there is a technical problem?

Thanks for your help guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Duce HD2:
Ever since flashing to JB my GPS is not working properly anymore...even tried going back to stock ICS and still no go. I know this is a known issue apparently, I've done plenty of research, tried a few fixes and nothing.

I really like this phone, but I also need a reliable GPS.

On CM10 I get a blinking icon and if I'm lucky get a lock after a minute, if not it will just blink forever.

On maddoggin I get no blinking icon at all and maybe get a lock after a reboot, otherwise nothing. On other ROMs it's pretty much the same thing. Before all this I was getting 3-4 second locks indoors.

Something is definitely wrong with it, missing files, wrong files , who knows...

Anybody have some suggestions on what to try? I'll give to this weekend, if I can't find a fix I'll just buy a different phone at this point.....

TIA!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Tried flashing JB factory images for your device? Does logcat provide any clues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Duce HD2:
Where would I get JB factory images at? So far the only roms I've flashed are Maddoggin's, CM10 JellyBro, and BlackBean.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
AFAIK there are no Google factory inmages for the Sprint GN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Ah yes, I forgot. Google dropped support. How about suggestion #2 then (logcat)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phantasybm:
Same problem for me on gnex gsm tmobile. Gps was perfect before 4.1.1 now it has gotten pretty unreliable I thought it was that solar flare thing a few weeks ago but I'm still having the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 95Z28:
I did the ota update to JB and also had slow locks (like up to a minute, not as bad as some complained about). Different ROMs were about the same, until rasbean. Now my GPS performs as it did on ICS, coincidence? Perhaps. I may never know as I'm liable to stay on rasbean for a long long time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beezer80:
Maybe detective hardware? Go back to stop and take it to a repair store.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andreaschen:
I finally caught the problem: GSM carrier (AT&T in my case)!

Actually all remedies barely work on my GSM Galaxy Nexus ordered from play store. I even flashed back to 4.1.2 factory image and it did not help either. If you are like me, simply take the SIM card out and see if it locates much faster (<1min for first lock and <10s thereon).

In terms of GPS first lock, "No SIM" better than "with SIM but airplane mode" better than "phone signal on". In some locations (e.g. Centre PA) GSM signal does not bother that much but in some other locations (e.g. Baltimore MD; Cape Cod, MA) the GSM signal is a real killer.

There is definitely some kernel/baseband problem! I am just providing as much information as I can to assist professional troubleshooting to this annoying problem.
[General Questions and Answers] lartomar2002:
I have a Acer tablet that I can not connect to to either my Win 7 64bit pc or laptop using usb. I have done this 3 other times with different android devices and never had a problem. Is there anyway I can install clockworkmod, then root and install a rom using wifi as long as the drivers are installed on the pc or laptop?
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
No. While unlocking the bootloader and installing the recovery, your device is not booted into android hence unable to establish a WiFi connection. Rooting is the 1st you need to do before those other things (for this device).
[General Questions and Answers] lartomar2002:
Oh well it was just a thought. Back to the drawing board. Thanks

Is it normal for the ATT hox to make a clicking noise when you press capacitive buttons or when typing? Does anyone else notice this? Its like a small clicking noise every 2 or 3 presses. I was just wondering if this was normal because my hox has no other problems. I have exchanged mine 4 times and don't want to do it again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vendetta-NY:
Normal-ish. Mine does it from time to time, and others' do also. Mostly when speed typing for me. Doesn't bother me. Or my phone, apparently.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Primenay:
How long have you had your one x? Ive had mine since launch and it hasn't gotten any worse so im hoping its not that big of a deal.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vendetta-NY:
Same. Not worried at all, it doesn't feel wrong to me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Primenay:
ok thanks for the input
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ruffdogtechy:
Same here

I have noticed this every once in a while. It doesn't bother me much but it worried me in the beginning. I really notice it when pressing on the right side of the screen like when I am pressing the letter M. I don't think it is too much to worry about seeing as how many people have noticed it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Primenay:
What do you guys think it might be caused by?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Primenay:
Maybe it can be fixed by a software update?

IF YOU DONT LIKE TALKING TRASH , DONT WANT DETAIL ! JUST LOOK AT THOSE RED WORDS ! THOSE ARE MAIN PROBLEM NOT TRASH!!!!tHANKS

Hello...

I've Been installed the first custom ROM which take my eye thats cm7 Apocalyse Final Two Weeks Ago .

I've wipe all data , dalvik cache , and everything else the tutorial on the thread tell me to do . Seems i'm a begineer to Custom Roms

But ,

It was a nice success on the install .

Then i install those apps ...games (HVGA) , and social apps ...with my charger plugged in .

I Unplug the Charger Then i Open Facebook or browser internet for some apps ....the battery drain from 100% -64% in just 2 minutes . I've focusing on the battery percentage on the icon , the battery seems really decreasing ! 99-94-77-76-75-74...and so on

Either , when i'm playing games like PES2012 it was more worst , after 30minutes or 1hour turn up to be 64%

And I Found those Percentage Of the Battery Drain are certainly same everytime i unplug the charger , meaning the drain rate is same ?

Next , The problem is regarding to sound , when i plugged in charger , no sound , when a facebook notification no sound ..when i play some song or play game , i have to press the vol+ button and set to the highest volume so that i can hear , let me give you an example :I was playing BIg Bang - Tonight ....i was on 4/10 Media Volume , Then i can't hear , I increase to 8/10 barely 9/10 still barely 10/10 too loud , loud and clear. WTF?!

Even the Ringtones , people call me , and the phone just infront of me but on a Towel , i can't hear ?!

Then my friends call another friends beside me telling tht i'm not picking up the phone !

So i had to set to Largest volume tooBut the StoCk Rom sound would be loud or even too Loud (DONT ASK ME TO GET STOCKLITE WTF , I DOES'RT LIKE GINGERBREAD LAYOUT !)

Here are My Problem ,

I 'm not here to Complain regarding this ROMS , Seems this is a really perfect ROM , i just asking for solution or whether guys from you are having the same problem like me ? Then i'll give up .

hi,

I have a HTC legend with 2.1 update-1 stock rom. i have tried to update it to froyo but unsuccessful. it is an unbranded version. i have tried to unlock the bootloader but i cant update my HBOOT version it says rom not supported. so is there a way to root it which doesnt involve the goldcard method or unlocking the bootloader? and also which rom is the best for the legend in terms of stability, performance, looks and features.

thanks to all who help.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RustyAndroid:
I just recently purchased a Legend, tried to unlock the bootloader at HTCdev and it was telling me my model number was wrong. What is your HBOOT saying (power off then volume down + power), mine is saying 1.01.0000 with S-OFF. If yours is saying S-OFF you should be able to run unlockroot. Either way try it and see what you get for results.

unlockroot dot com

this might help you also

Seems this site will not let me paste urls so gold farmer method it is.

Seems I cannot run a logcat on JB ROMS anyone else have that issue? If not please tell me that im doing wrong because I hate posting issues or found bugs on threads and am not able to provide a dev with a logcat. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Are you trying to get the logs using adb or using an in phone app?

If you are using an app JB restricts access to the logs. They can only be accessed by system apps.

There are apps on the play store that will convert regular apps to system apps. Then log apps will have access to the logs.
[HTC Sensation] jaysun3000:
Ya im using an in phone app, i will do some research to find one of these apps that convert thanks.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Search for System App Mover.

Ive been using it all week. Works great.
[HTC Sensation] jaysun3000:
sweet thanks i was going to ask, after googling...so the manual way would be to: Find the app in your sd card and copy it - go to root folder-system-click r/w to r/o-paste it-go to pasted app and long press-permission set to rw-r-r.

i tried it and failed but i think i was suppose to restart the device.....but the app works like a charm and logcat works now

Hi , i have a big Problem . I was trying to to Update my Razr to the New Jelly Bean Rom.. in the Middle of the process it stopped , and said Aborted. I rebooted my phone and I was stuck In the Boot Animation. I tried to restore my back up Rom and said fail.. next I tried to unbrick the phone using RSD Lite 5.7 .. I followed all the Directions Correctly but it always stops the Flash at 6/18 .. and some Error stops the the process and Says Fail.. How do I Fix THIS????
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Step 6/18 is cdt.bin flashing. If you got a rom not designated to your razr region it'll not work.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satta:
Hi everyone,

I hope this is the right place to ask -- maybe someone has the same problem and has maybe even found a solution.

The problem is that when I try to post photo on a Facebook timeline or group using the official FB app, then choose to add a location, I only get the message that no locations are found. When I use the location checkin feature instead of taking a photo, I get a correct list of locations -- thus in general it works, but just not in a photo context. Curiously, when I clear the FB app data or uninstall and reinstall it, it works for a short time before showing the same issue again.

The problem only seems to occur on CM9 (the nightlies and now 9.0 final). On CM7 it worked fine and again on CM10 alpha.

Does anyone have the same problem?

Thanks,

S.

I have backups nandroid ready and wasn't too sure, if I dont like this build then i could restore back to stock using CWM? or Odin.

I felt that I need to wait for reply to comfirm before flashing this cyanogenMOD 10.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xicewallx:
IF my memory serves me right, with an unlocked bootloader, you can recover to a TW rom but I think its needs to either have the kernel built into it OR you need to somehow flash to a TW kernel. I say this because I think that if your kernel is still an AOSP one, then the device will not boot up.

some roms already come with a kernel for their rom so I think in most cases, with CWM 6.0.1.x, you could restore a TW nandroid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Marcismo55:
If you want to restore a backup of a TouchWiz rom you have then just use the EZ Recovery app to flash the hybrid (CWM/Kexec) recovery...reboot to recovery and restore your nandroid. Simple process!

Once the Dev's building TW roms start using the non-kexec flashing method then you will be able to restore using the normal CWM recovery. Just like you said, you can also use ODIN to restore to stock but it's a pain because you have to root all over again. Just know you have a few options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LeonKnight12:
Ok thanks everyone!

Fwiw... I've been switching back and forth between Synergy and CM for a couple days now (flashing multiple times) and cwm touch works for synergy but u need new cwm for CM10.

Or try to flash the ROM and gapps (goomanager) for that android version. It won't make them appear twice it will just write them to your phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dmrnhs:
Now with the unlocked bootloader on the S3 there are all of a sudden a flood of AOKP and CM10 based ROMs. What ROM, whether it be LiquidSmooth, Official CM10, or a CM10 Kang build do you find to be the most stable, has the most working features, and has the best performance and battery life?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryker1297:
i would go with invisiblek's most recent nightly until the official has the mms fix built in. once it is i would use that since its by cyanogen so it should be the most stable around. there would be no excuse not to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vikksterr:
The latest cm10 nightly fixes the mms issue. I've been using it and its awesome. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xicewallx:
I only tried the cm10 nightly about a week ago i think, right when the bootloader was unlocked. seemed really nice to me, but I wanted the stock camera app/apk. anyone know if I can snag the stock camera app or even get it from my phone.... haven't tried yet.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] redhairedscot:
I successfully followed the directions for using the no-flash-counter-increment stock+root, then installed clockworkmod recovery with adb dd, then installed Sonic R6. If I wanted to go back to stock+root, could I just Odin the no-flash-counter-increment stock+root?

This procedure worked great on my old Vibrant, but on the Vibrant, the Odin back to stock cleared the user partitions, but when I did the Odin stock+root on the S3, it rebooted with all of my settings/apps/etc. intact.

To be safe, I'm intending to reboot to recovery, wipe data/cache/dalvik, then reboot to download mode and Odin again. Is this a sound plan? (Sorry for the newbie question, but the Odin differences between the Vibrant and the S3 make me nervous.)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] s_snk3:
it came back with the settings and apps because you have to wipe before going back to stock, and if you are going back to stock, depending on what rom you are using, you will have to root again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
With the custom recovery you can flash away without increasing the counter.

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

Just flash one of the stock roms in yhe dev section and you'll get your stock + root just like when you originally rooted.

Another option is to set your user agent to iPhone. Many sites have html5 variants but developers have not caught on to the Android ICS and flash relationship. However, iOS has had non flash compatibility since the beginning, so websites have developed alternatives.
