[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mk1151:
There are three ways to purchase the RAZR M (at least in the US) - Links will take you to the order pages:

1) Subsidized on contract for $99 from Verizon

2) Off contract from Verizon for $549

3) Developer edition from Motorola direct for $549

Options 1 and 2 are the RETAIL version of the RAZR M. This means that unless the dev community finds a way to "break" the boot loader and/or root the device, it will remain as-is and will only get updates from Motorola.

The Dev Edition's (option 3) boot loader can be unlocked.

The Moto page to unlock the boot loader is here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a

There is no time limit as to when you can get the unlock code, but I would imagine Motorola reserves the right to change that policy at any time... meaning at some point it is possible they could shut down the site, but I do not see that happening any time soon.

You could generate the unlock code so you have it, but that does not mean you have to unlock your bootloader immediately. The unlock code is keyed to your device ID so it will not change even if Motorola upgrades the SW in the future. So, just to be safe you could generate the unlock code then use it in 6 months or 6 years from now.

That being said, as soon as you go through with the steps to obtain an unlock code, your device effectively goes on a "black list" with Motorola. You warranty is void EVEN IF YOU HAVE NOT APPLIED THE UNLOCK CODE. If you have issues with your device it would be Motorola's discretion whether to offer free service, fee-based service, or no service at all if you have a problem.

I have verified with Motorola that even if you have unlocked your boot loader, you will still get Motorola's OTA SW updates, but there is no guarantee they will work, especially if you have rooted and/or modified the core operating system in any way.

ETA:

I also verified with Verizon that all the RAZR M phones (regardless of retail, subsidized, or dev edition) are unlocked for all International GSM carriers out of the gate. While they will not work with US GSM carriers (AT&T and T-Mobile) anywhere else in the world should be ok. Please note though, LTE will not work outside of Verizon's reach.

I hope that helps.

Have you tried a factory reset from recovery, then flashing a custom ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] CWCOXXX:
I have tried factory reset from hboot, my cwm recovery, and i cant find a custom rom. I have extracted the rom.zip from my original ruu found on htcdev. I put it on sd card and tried flashing thru recovery and thru hboot. I try doing fastboot, with the system.img and it actually crashes my pc, and when loading thru hboot, i get stuck at parsing .zip

Boot into fastboot and run the RUU.
[General Questions and Answers] CWCOXXX:
I did, believe me, I have spent hours and days googling, and every similar situation ppl have, the soution doesnt work for everybody, lol, and I just happen to be one of them. My rhyme is an upgraded OTA, from the original stock rom which is an ruu: RUU_Bliss_C_VERIZON_WWE_1.26.605.6_Radio_1.15.00.0816_NV_VZW2.67_release_214911_signed, and when i try running the ruu installer it says; From:image version 2.0.0.134076

To: 1.26.605.6, After 16% PROGRESS, ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR, The ROM upadate uti;ty couldn't update, please find correct RUU and update again. I dont know what else to do, ive been researching for a while and so now im in the XDA forums asking for help, before i was just searching for anything related to this problem with HTC rhyme, and not much about the rhyme it self is out there for support in these situations, so ive been researching the issue with all htc devices, and even android in general. I'll admit i am a noob at androids, but im actually pretty familiar with OS's and computers period. All help is much appreciated too, so thank you and if you know something i dont, please feel free to let me know where I am screwing up. I can get My CWM on it, and actually before all this, i had CWM touch recovery, somehow i lost it too and had to put the one i have now on it. i also parsed thru hboot my boot.img, and recovery before, , and it said it was successful. when doing system.img thru the PI46img.zip with boot and recovery, it freezes on parsing, and if i fastboot the system.img, it causes my computer to freeze, and i got the system.img from the rom.zip out of this RUU, that i mentioned above. ive done all the wiping from recovery of partitions that ppl had mentioned, and still no luck, and also when trying to flash it thru CWm it always says installation aborted. tahnk s for responding too man, ive noticed most questions with The HTC RHyme, get the shaft....and thats why i feel like im at a deadend, and i dont know if there is some number out there for support in theses situations, because HTC wont help after the bootloader has been unlocked, and it would seem a lil easier having someone walk you through it on either a live chat or over the phone

HTC rhyme recovery prob.

Hi I really need help. I unlocked the boot loader from HTC Dev. Then rebooted the the bootloaderbfrom adb. The fastboot flash recovery. Everything was good until I pushed the mount through adb it gave me an error. Now every time I try a factory reset or try to go to recovery it takes me to the white HTC logo and nothing happens. Please help. The phone is switching on everything is working. I just can't factory reset or go to the recovery.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Bo...:
Hi,

I am trying to find out following:

I would like to use Galaxy Tab 8.9 (7300/stock HoneyComb 3.1) to play video on my HDTV (Full HD via HDMI adapter). However almost all the apps that I have tested seem to produce dropped frames or problems with sync with audio/video during playback for number of mkv/mp4/avi media files I have tested. I was able to play normally some of the full HD videos but that was in only few cases while most of 720p/1080p would have poor playback. So I am looking for an advice:

1) Will updating to ICS (now only custom roms available) help with video playback?

2) Are there any apps that you found that can play most of full hd videos? I have tried almost all the popular ones but could not get to cover full HD?

3) Will overclocking help with decoding? I saw several posts that indicate that some custom roms support overclocking. In some cases I got SW based playback to give almost good playback (HW based decoding did not work in all cases).

4) What is proper approach for mounting external drives that are in formats such as NTFS/exFAT? I am looking at this as some files might be bigger then 4GB limit of FAT32.

5) Is there a device that I can stream to 1080p from Galaxy Tab 8.9? Of course assuming that Galaxy Tab 8.9 can stream 1080p...

6) Do you have any other advice?

7) There are number of custom ROMs available (as listed in http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1441). Which one would you recommend for best video performance?

Kind regards,

Bo

Just got a Tab 8.9 and really struggling with this as well so keen to hear responses.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Bateluer:
1) Will updating to ICS (now only custom roms available) help with video playback?

The GTab8.9 is Tegra 2 powered and will always struggle with HD playback, regardless of ROM or player. Good video player apps, I like MXPlayer, can mitigate it a little.

2) Are there any apps that you found that can play most of full hd videos? I have tried almost all the popular ones but could not get to cover full HD?

I like MX Player, but Vplayer is solid, but costs money. You will not find one that can play all 720p videos smoothly, and forget about an 1080p videos. Unless the bitrate is so low as to basically be low def, it won't happen.

3) Will overclocking help with decoding? I saw several posts that indicate that some custom roms support overclocking. In some cases I got SW based playback to give almost good playback (HW based decoding did not work in all cases).

Maybe a little, not worth it IMO.

4) What is proper approach for mounting external drives that are in formats such as NTFS/exFAT? I am looking at this as some files might be bigger then 4GB limit of FAT32.

I'm not sure on this, I will defer to others.

5) Is there a device that I can stream to 1080p from Galaxy Tab 8.9? Of course assuming that Galaxy Tab 8.9 can stream 1080p...

The GTab8.9 will struggle to play most 720p, forget about any 1080p.

6) Do you have any other advice?

I like the GTab 8.9 for its size, but a media power house it is not. If you want to play all manner of HD videos, then you're going to need a tablet with a Tegra 3 or better. Perhaps the upcoming Kindle Fire HD 8.9 or Nook+ HD 9, with their OMAP4470/SGX544s, will handle better and keep the smaller size.

7) There are number of custom ROMs available (as listed in http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1441). Which one would you recommend for best video performance?

I have not tried any custom roms myself yet. The video playback is a hardware limitation and a known weak point of the Tegra 2 SoC. Roms and players can attempt to mitigate it, but its not possible to resolve it.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] randomstranger99:
2) In MX Player, turn on H/W+ mode in Settings>Decoding. This plays back 720p video (with a tiny audio lag) on stock Honeycomb 3.2. It's not going to do much to help you with 1080p though -- it's probable that nothing will.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Ncyde47:
you can run 720p or 1080p fluid.. spawndk from the eepad transformer forum:

"The Tegra2 chipset are designed as a mobile sollution chipset - to support web 2 standards. The highest encoding profile used here (Youtube 1080p) are 1080p baseline and this the Tegra2 chipset will both record and play with no troubles. As well as 720p baseline and main profile - but only upto L3.1 with some limitations. It doesnt matter which container is used (mkv, mp4, m4v, avi etc) and it doesnt matter if resolution are 1080p - its only a matter of the encoding profile used to encode the supported video format H264

Tegra2 will NEVER be able to decode High profile L4.1 encodes - it's not a software issue, neither in terms of Honeycomb or Nvidia libs, its simply a limitation of the abilities of the hardwaredecoder in the Tegra2 chipset and this will never change. It is also not a limitation in the Transformer specifically, but a limitation in ALL Tegra2 based tablets and mobilephones.

This is the same reason why some mediaplayers like the Boxee Box that was originally intended to use the Tegra2 moved on to an Intel chipset before launch.

In short the Tegra2 chipset will support playback of videos encoded in 1080p or 720p resolution, using the H264 video codec and AAC audio codec - as long as the video are encoded after the baseline profile standard

It will not now or ever - play 1080p/720p encodes encoded after the high profile standard."

So basically, you have to reencode videos just like on ipad..

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PauloMHAlmeida:
GUIDE] Downgrade from 3.13 (Sense 3.0) roms

This guide is for phones shipped with froyo and updated to the 3.x firmware! For phones shipped with gingerbread (even the lower versions) please read attn1's posts in this thread!

With the Sense 3.0 upgrade HTC patched against fre3vo, so we can no longer temproot to use misc_version on that firmware. Lucky us, a new exploit was issued @rootzwiki. This exploit was tested at #g2root (freenode) and was able to temproot a 3.13.161.3 firmware version.

The usual disclaimer applies: Everything you do is your responsibility, no one can be held accountable for the state you put yourself and/or your phone into.

If you meet troubles search for help at IRC: freenode, #g2root

make sure your phone is in 'charge only' mode and the 'fast boot' feature is turned off.

What you need:

tacoroot

misc_version NOTE: you need THAT version of misc_version. Earlier versions would not work.

flashgc for a goldcard

1.32 PD98IMG.zip

put all files in your platform-tools directory (unzip misc_version and tacoroot.sh)

Code:

adb push tacoroot.sh /data/local/tmp/tacoroot

adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/

adb push flashgc /data/local/tmp/

adb push PD98IMG.zip /sdcard/

NOTE: the last command will take a long time

After all files are pushed you have to run tacoroot:

Code:

adb shell

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/*

/data/local/tmp/tacoroot --setup

This command will reboot the phone to recovery. Once it is done, use vol up/power then choose 'reboot' to reboot the phone. After it boots (it will bootloop, that's expected):

Code:

adb shell

/data/local/tmp/tacoroot --root

this command will kick you out of adb shell, so we need to return there and see the # sign of root access, after which we can change the main version and create a goldcard:

Code:

adb shell

cd /data/local/tmp

./misc_version -s 1.00.000.0

./flashgc

./tacoroot --undo

After these commands are done, the phone should get rebooted by tacoroot. After it boots, boot to bootloader to flash the 1.32 firmware:

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

Once in bootloader, use the vol buttons to go to 'bootloader' and the power button to execute. The rom will flash. Enjoy!
