I'm a bit of a noob at this, so excuse me if I'm wrong BUT

You shouldn't need to root the phone to get access too the system folder. I can get into the exact location you mentioned by using File Manager? (on an unrooted phone)

[RAZR i General] Franky692:
I tried to copy files with x-plore but I can not... I can see and go inside the path but I can't create/ modify files. Is there any way to do it without root the phone? Did you try to copy the files? If with a positive result let us know which file explorer are you using.
[RAZR i General] HomerSimpson07:
I am pretty sure that you can only modify files in that path with root access.

Just root your phone, you don't lose warranty by that, as you can always unroot.

But you'll have to unlock the phone first do you not? Motorola will know the phone has been unlocked as they provide the code required. Is there a way to root without unlocking the boot loader?

Definitively yes !

Hai up4fun2day, tried accordingly but failed. after also twist turn difference option also failed. wonder?
[RAZR i General] V-g-:
Yes! But dl.dropbox.com/u/19117372/RAZRI_flash.zip is not the dump. I've extracted the files needed from the dump and packed them in this file. And you have to remove flash if you've already installed it.
[RAZR i General] up4fun2day:
Hi Daniel 9999 - If you need more info you will have to request it from user V-g- as my comment was just checking if I had understood correctly as didn't want to root my phone to find out that I still couldn't get this to work.....anyway in the meantime I came up with another solution which does work but only for some flash content and unfortunately doesn't work on catch up TV websites which I am guessing is probably to so with license reasons etc anyway details below:

Go to google play store and download app/web browser called 'skyfire' it has a 3 day trial so you can check that it works with the websites you watch flash content on before buying - costs around €4 for full unlimited licence here in Ireland but might vary in the uk pricewise

Anyway you open up app which is web browser navigate to website required such as www.watch32.com which is a movie website select the video you want and the blue flah lego type icon appears

once you see this blue icon where video should be press the 3 dots next to you multitask icon at the bottom of your screen and click on video to analyse... once its analised in like 5-10 seconds it shows a black square with a play button... click it and video will buffer takes around 30 seconds and then flash content will play.

Only downside is you can't fastforward through the movie only play/pause

when you go to websites like channel 4's 4 on Demand or RTE's rte player it states catch up does not support this service.

So its a kind of fix which I'm happy enough with.

Hope this helps

@ V-g-

Thanks for responce yes I already extracted the files using quick office app on android and the browse option just wanted to confirm that I had understood correctly before I rooted phone so that I'm not wasting my time.

Can you please confirm if the flash works for websites such as channel 4's 4 On Demend and BBC iPlayer etc or is this blocked like with the 'Skyfire' App I previously mentioned in my responce to User 'Daniel 9999' or do these websites work fine as this is the main reason I would like Adobe flash installed.

Also can you confirm how badly having Flash installed and using it for videos effects the battery as I was wondering if the fact that not having flash installed is why the Razr i's battery is so much better than previous smartphones I've had

Please let me know and thanks for all your help so far.

PS if anyone finds an app similar to 'Skyfire' that is supported by catch up websites 4OD and BBC iPlayer please post the name in responce so that I can check it out

i got it working without unlocked Bootloader on Stock JB ROM 4.1.2 with Root (thanks TwerkMyMoto) !!!

works in Stock Browser (set "Plugins" to "use if needed" !)

i used the Flashplayer-Files from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1952878

1. Copy and Paste the Files from OP into the Directories and set Permissions like the other Files. (i used "Root Explorer")

2.

NOW you have to delete any "adobe.flash" File in /data/dalvik-cache !!!!!

3. Reboot

i think deleting any "adobe.flash" File in Dalvik-Cache is the Solution for everybody

I will try it again for you on my phone and will send you the correct files...

(Ich werde es bei mir nochmal probieren und Dir dann die richtigen Dateien zukommen lassen.

Könnte sich aber alles mit Kitkat bald wieder ändern...)
[RAZR i General] dagoban:
Yeah, I also tried and gave up on it. Set perms correct and copied the files accordingly, allowed the plugin in stock browser and flash app appears in the launcher, which means its installed but still I dont see any videos.

I have installed Version 11.1.115.20 as a system-app and it works.

U can take the latest apk from the official page. Just Google for flashplayer apk
[RAZR i General] 5m00v3:
Got it working... AGAIN!

So, i got it working again...

For some reason i dont know the files i have used last time dont work any more.

But i have found files they are working now (JB 4.1.2 EN GB Stock Rom).

Flash this ZIP in CWM or extract zip and copy files.

1. copy "com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk" to \system\app and set permission "-rw-r--r--"

2. copy "libflashplayer.so" to \system\lib\plugins\com.adobe.flashplayer and set permission "-rw-r--r--"

(both folders "plugins" + "com.adobe.flashplayer" need permission "drwxr-xr-x")

3. delete any "com.adobe.flash" or "flash" files in \data\dalvik-cache

4. SHUT DOWN HANDY no reboot!

(after power on again and after red Moto-Logo there MUST pop-up an Info-Window with "updating apps..."

5. Set in Stock-Browser Settings->Advanced->Plug-Ins always on.

6. check your Apps: Settings->Apps->All. There MUST be "Adobe Flash Player 11.1 with 68,00 KB

7. check if flash is working on www.flashtester.org (first and second link MUST show your flash version "11.1.112.60"

hope i could help

(there is a thanks button ;)
[RAZR i General] dagoban:
Thx a lot, got it working now.

Rookie mistake, my apk file in was named Flashplayer-1.apk, therefore the corresponding plugin name folder "com.adobe.flashplayer" was named wrong.

Got it working now, thx a lot :)

PS: for me it works only with:

com.adobe.flashplayer.apk instead of

com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
No, its just a statement of fact. This exact thing happened when the 1.85 root was posted. Lots of people waiting to root, and not all of them take a little time to just research and learn before flashing things willy-nilly. Result is a flood of bricked phone posts, that could have been easily avoided.

OP could add a little more detail on what the exact pitfalls are (such as flashing a ROM or recovery for the international version) to serve as a warning, since the bricked phone posts are already starting. Otherwise, I don't see this thread as "arrogant".
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hapticxchaos:
sure.

in every portal, on every forum, there is always a pack of vicious n00b hunters who constantly call people out, make people feel uncomfortable/unwelcome, and instead of offering a helping hand, pull out their flame throwers. now, you, YOU, have taken this to a whole new level with an entire thread devoted to flaming nonexistent n00bs.

i think you all forget that at one point or another, before you made that shiny new account with fancy shmancy screen name, back in the ol' hero days, you too were a newb who forgot to search.

this thread is arrogant bc its useless. it serves no purpose other than to unite a bunch of tr0lls to get together and bash faceless people.

---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

i can see the logic there. history repeats itself. but how is this thread or your comments supposed to stop, or alleviate the oncoming newbs. welcome to xda, land of the trolls, home of the newbs. get used to it. its like aids man. you cant stop it. the only prevention is abstinence. stfu and just accept it, because your piddly threads and ugly comments will do nothing to stop it.

to top it all off, even if every time you made a new thread bashing people it stopped 500 newbs from posting, at the end of the day, its not your job. its the OPs' and mods job to reprimand/edit.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Don't agree. Yes, we can post as many warning as we want, and there will still be plenty of people that don't bother to read them. But if a thread just makes 1 person take pause, and prevents that person from bricking their phone, I say its worth it.

But as I mention before, it would be more useful if the OP was edited to include more specific info and read more as a warning.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hapticxchaos:
the last part we can certainly agree on. it couldnt hurt to have a sticky roll up of warnings. but a big newb bashing orgy is slightly homo erotic, and more importantly, very arrogant

Post 2.20, you won't be able to flash an international ROM because doing so will attempt to write to the boot partition on the One XL, which is now write-protected (that was the previous problem, causing hard bricks). The install will just fail.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
Redpoint has been instrumental in keeping track of all resources available to htc one xl http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671237 and actually abstinence is not the only prevention, you need to spend a little time researching and reading (or ask questions first) before you act but unfortunately a lot of people want instant gratification without doing the leg work. It reminds me of a story about leading a horse and drinking water, sounds familiar ?!

A lot of us spend time answering questions and solving problems but it gets very frustrating when it is not READ out of lazyness and understandably it leads to a little ranting sometimes :angel:

Won't see many bricked phones on 2.20 because hboot is protected by WP....no way to accidentally overwrite it with a Tegra ROM....

or maybe we should take the development back underground to irc and pre-xda days and stop sharing tips and tricks with over 4 million users or even better we should do away with open source altogether and maybe follow the Apple model, that'll put an end to flashing/bricking issues ;)

I'm sorry, but even in my old days I could actually use the search function. Maybe it's because I actually read the rules, how to be a newbie, not a noob thread and the numerous posts and guides on how to root my phone.

If you just let people loose, without telling them to READ existing posts (it's not that hard) they will end up bricking their phone. It isn't just a thread trying to bash people, trust me most people have better things to do in life than flame people on an online hacking forum. Because it is them in the end who will end up crying that they softbricked their phone into DLOAD or whatever.

ToDo:

0. Ideas?

FAQ:

1. Will this ROM void my warranty?

YES! But you can revert to stock and the phone will look as a brand new and will revert the warranty.

2. Will this ROM increase my flash counter?

NO!

3. I've got a LK7 firmware and a custom kernel right now. Will I have to reflash the kernel after flashing this ROM?

No. The kernel remains intact as you only flash the csc and system.

4. I've got many apps installed right now and I don't want to loose them.

Upgrading the firmware with ODIN doesn't format the system partition, it only 'repopulate' it with the 'new' files so all your settings, sms/mms, apps and other stuff will remain intact.

5. I see some bloatware like 'Google books', you said it was lite..!?

This app is only in specific CSCs and I can't remove it without voiding the samsung signature thus breaking the CSC procedure during the first reboot after flashing. You can remove this app yourself (i.e. TitaniumBackup).

TIPS:

If you want a REALLY clean system then you could make this VERY complicated procedure:

[Req: rooted rom, adb and odin 'installed' on pc, phone connected to pc by usb]

1. enter recovery (turn on the phone with VolUp+Home)

2. on pc:

adb shell

su

wipe all (disregard the warning about /etc not being empty)

exit (exits su)

exit (exits shell)

adb kill-server

3. select 'reboot the system' in the recovery and enter download mode (during turning on VolDown+Home)

4. on pc: flash my rom with odin

5. wait for reboot and live happily with CLEAN system :D

or for CWM/TWRP just format data/cache/system partitions ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] sdke:
Great to see that we have an other 'custom' rom. It's a great base to add a theme, other tweaks,..
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] arroyo:
@WiCiO_MeDi

You can always deodex those apps that has been left. Also you can make this ROM flashable thru CWM or TWRP. Please do not add any apps/themes/transitions. This ROM is a GREAT base for anyone who want to play on his own rules with modding. Anyway... dobra robota!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] powermetza:
@WiCiO_MeDi

You can add Init.d support support to your ROM.

I tested this script on my phone and it works.

Here you can find information to manual enable support for Init.d.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] WiCiO_MeDi:
Will try with init.d, why not.

As of themes/apps/transitions i'm adamant about not including any so don't worry ;)

Regarding CWM:

My idea was to create light rom, easy to flash (odin) and without any fuss with commands in adb/recovery/terminal. Also the "NO" status of the flash counter is a big issue for me since we haven't got any way to reset it as of now and the warranty is a must with todays electronics.. unfortunately :(

Oh, and deodexing... forgot about it since I don't use themes ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Bocko92:
Can u explain what is DBT and the contents of your dropbox folder, since it's a lot faster to download from?

You are a genius. GENIUS.

Sine my counter is @15 most of this is not very important for me, but this tweaks to /system/build.prop are just great.

So thank you veeery much :)

A no i: Dobra Robota :)

all best
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] WiCiO_MeDi:
Man, chill, it's just placebo i think 'cause those tweaks are really minor. Maybe you got something screwed with the system before the flash or the bloatware was choking up your phone.

Anyway: your welcome and dzięki ;)
