[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maurice216:
Hey,

Kinda new to rooting. I figured out how to root my phone but I'm trying to make a back up of my from before I make any changes. I tried clockwork but it doesn't have this device listed. Does anyone know of a working method to backup the RAZR HD ma x's rom?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoClifGo05:
There is no recovery available for it yet. There is however the fastboot files so if you screw something up you can use those to restore back to "stock"

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arhtard:
anytime i buy a new phone, i will do a "adb pull /system/" command just to have a copy of the system folder from my phone before i make any changes. then i will zip it with winrar so if i use something from it, i wont loose anything from dragging and dropping versus forgetting to use copy and paste. may sound a lil anal since there are factory images, but, i do it. without a custom recovery, like cwm, you can't make a nandroid backup.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdubya42:
I am assuming this was sorted out, the thread is old, but I need to get to my post limit.

You can now unlock the bootloader and install TWRP on the Razr HD.

Just wondering if anyone else that was on the HD update have not got the new HE update... Ive been checking since it came out and my wifes phone got the HE update but mine has yet to get it? It keeps telling me that theres no new update..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zedocus16:
Updates are sent out in segments, not everyone gets them at the same time and can take a few weeks or more to get to everyone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] evolishesh:
I had a problem getting the updates. I had to go back to factory and wait at least a day and a half before I got the update. So, if you been rooted before it migt just take a day or so before you get it. I hope this make sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] crazydad:
Yeah i was rooted, but i odin back to stock hd build and its been like 4 days and nothing yet .... wifes phone got it on the 17th and yet here i am with the hd build!!! lol
[Thunderbolt General] alex.ap.pacman:
I'm going to admit right now that all this stuff has me stressing out, I tried the NuSense Build and wasn't really fond of the bloatware that was on it, and between that and the fact that Liquid may or may not continue work on the Mecha I'm stressed... I just want an AOSP build that works..

Criteria for me to get a new phone: old phone isn't on latest version of Android nor will it be.

I'm on 4.1, are any of you? Its not that I don't want the TB to get Jelly Bean, but the fact is, it's time. Well for me it was, I still hang out here though :P
[Thunderbolt General] plambda:
You must have a great life if the most stressful thing in it is the state of Android development on the Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] major_works:
It's a fact of life these days that the day we unbox our shiny new iGizmo or whatever, it's either already been surpassed or someone is hard at work on the thing that will surpass it. Unless money truly is no object, I can't see stressing over how up-to-the-minute my phone is.

I feel that this new crop of ICS ROMs has given my Tbolt some legs. I've taken care of my phone, never dropped it (hard, that is) or dunked it. Everything works fine. So I'm content with it for now. Just think what the carriers will be dangling in front of us in another year, or 18 months. When I do get a new phone, I don't want incremental improvements. I want to be dazzled.
[Thunderbolt General] Nomad1600:
LOL... you may be referring to some one that created trouble on rootzwiki for creating multiple threads at the drop of a hat and with almost twitter-like stream of thoughts. Best to just ignore... he'll find some new ROM and thought to post about soon enough. ;)
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
This thread is absurd, and a rehash of a couple other unnecessary threads created by the OP. the thunderbolt is/was a great and dependable device, but it's older now and official support is nonexistent. Without an official release of some sort, there's little point in developers putting together AOSP roms that will never really be fully functional. Santod's nusense is great, but if you don't like it, you don't, and are under no obligation to use it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taylork:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thecartographersden:
Hey guys, I"m new to the forums (as well as android).. Got my S3 yesterday (ditched my iPhone 5 for it and found touch wiz to be gruesome) So I rooted my i747 device, and installed the latest CWM, and put the new paranoidkangdroid ROM on my S3. I had it working all day, and it's incredible! I love every aspect of it. However, my phone just recently after trying to set a passcode rebooted itself and is stuck in the boot screen.. (the glowing pink android)..

I've tried rebooting, removing the battery, connecting to my computer, and tried to boot into the CWM screen without any success. Any suggestions for how I can get this thing to work again?

Thanks a lot for your time

- Ryan
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jammol:
Volume up+home button+power button until it disappears, let go of power and keep hokding other two. Yoh will see samsung screen with blue letters in top left for a brief second.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thecartographersden:
Thanks for the quick reply, tried your advice.. screen went black, vibrated every few seconds, showed the samsung logo quickly, restarted itself again, and is still stuck in the boot loop...

Any other ideas?'

[update] : got my phone into the CWM recovery (v6.0.1.4) Any ideas on my next step? I cleared my cache and rebooted, it restarted and a screen popped up saying "updating android" and it was updating all my apps, gave me a little bit of hope. But then it proceeded to go back into the boot loop. This is getting really frustrating, if anyone has any other suggestions I'd really appreciate it
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thecartographersden:
sorry for the double post - screen is all black no... getting no response at all now from the device, asides from an occasional vibration when I hold down the volume up + home + power...

please help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
I just noticed the post for that ROM today so it is obviously fairly new, bugs are to be expected. Can you get to download mode, same process as recovery except substitute vol down for vol up. If so you can flash the stock rooted ROM of your choice and either try again or use a different ROM until they work the bug out. I would also suggest posting in the ROM OP so the dev is aware of the problem, or incase he has any suggestions.

EDIT - Just noticed you only have 3 posts, the forums require 10 to post in the development sub forums.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Apocalypse487:
That happened to me. For that rom to work, don't change any settings.

Make sure it's disconnected from the power wire. Hold, Volume Up and Home button then hold the power button. Wipe both caches, and factory reset. Reflash PK and Gapps. Wipe caches again and reboot. It should work. If not flash back to PA like I did. I'm gonna wait for the next update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] g2tegg:
Wipe "cache" AND "dalvik cache" found under advanced tab. If that fails, try a more stable rom. Cm10 nightlies maybe, which are more mature with less problems.

Also, you didn't flash a different kernel did you? From what I read only the kernel provided will work. Furthermore, make sure you flash the proper gaaps. That also will cause problems.

And of course. Welcome to XDA and Android. Once you get the hang of flashing you will be obsessed and never go back to iFail. Trust me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thecartographersden:
thanks a lot everyone above - I managed to reset all caches earlier, wiped the device, and then re-installed the ROM and gapps and everything is working fine now. I'll take your advice and not alter too many of the settings on this ROM (asides from this error, this OS runs beautifully!) I tried to post this problem in the post for this specific ROM but wasn't allowed as I have less than ten posts.. haha.

Again, thanks for all the help. I'm loving the device, iOS doesn't come close to what I've experienced so far.. And I've only been using it for a couple days.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] pairdime:
How do I upgrade the 232 leak to 246? I am rooted with SafeStrap.

I guess I would prefer to wipe data and go 246 OTA if possible, then root/safestrap.

I found this script but it is so chock full of warnings/BS I cannot decipher what I am supposed to do...

droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/4026-samurihls-house-of-bionic/

Must I downgrade to 905? Or can I go straight from 232 to 246?

Before going (I assume) 232 => 905 => 246 I must remove SafeStrap correct?

Are there any merits to going OTA? How do I know if I will get the OTA update or not?

Do I use HoB to root? Where is a link to the latest SafeStrap? All this will work in 246 right?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Obsidian_soul:
The went the clean install route. 232 =>905=>246. Using the house of bionic. I uninstalled the recovery, removed safestrap . Then did a factory reset after I was back on 905. I have all my data backed up in nandroid back ups and used TiBu to restore apps and data. The safestrap link can be found another post in this forum. I wouldn't wait on the OTA. The HoB will root for you using the motofail root.

Yes all this works on 246
[Motorola Droid Bionic] pairdime:
OK thanks for the reply. Here's exactly what I did. Probably could have avoided wipe but I wanted to start clean.

0. backup

1. uninstall safestrap recovery

2. enable usb debugging

3. usb mode "MTP"

4. install all this from the link

droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/4026-samurihls-house-of-bionic/

o) Install the Moto Device Manager (driver): USB and PC Charging Drivers - Motorola Mobility, Inc. USA

o) Install the SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic_(8.x).exe

o) Install the SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic_FXZ_(x.x.xxx).exe (note: 905)

o) Install the SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic_RSD_(x.xx).exe

o) Install the SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic_(xxx).exe (note: 246)

5. factory reset onto 905 via HOB

6. now in 905, again:

a) usb debugging mode

b) usb charge only

7. factory reset onto 246 via HOB

a) usb debugging mode

b) usb charge only

c) root via HOB

8. install safestrap v3

blog.hash-of-codes.com/downloads/safestrap/

9. remove verizon crap
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Obsidian_soul:
That is the same path I took. One more step though

10. Install custom Jelly Bean rom:D
[Motorola Droid Bionic] vinhtvu2:
Is there anyway to NOT go back to 905??

I'm already on ICS 232... just want to upgrade to 246.

I'd rather keep all my data and configuration than to have to go through setting everything up again.

Mine is not rooted, I dont use Titanium Back up.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] pairdime:
Yea I'm pretty sure all you do is download/install that list of exes, then via HoB just install 246 without doing a wipe.

And then after that, root is optional.

I wasn't sure what implications there would be which is why I RFD from 905, keeping it in the OTA track.

Actually if you just download SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic_(246).exe and extract it, you will get the 246 image, and you may be able to flash that directly via moto recovery. HoB does something about putting the phone in AP fastboot mode, but the entire install process it does for 246 is just putting the 246 iso on your sd card then having you manually install it. ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ejameson91:
Quick question: Right now I'm using the leaked .232 with safestrap and Liquic ICS 1.5 MR2.6 installed on safe mode. If I upgrade to the official .246 can I install safestrap and restore my backup of Liquid in safe mode? Or will that not work since it is based off of .232?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Obsidian_soul:
Yes, you can use your back up from 232 on 246.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p_eros:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SirVilhelm:
My fiance just got the SIII upgrading from the Incredible 2 and she loves it. I love it too as I no longer have to hear about the degrading performance of the I2:p.

The only complaint she has is that her work shifts are always changing and with the alarm on her old phone it would default to "only once" when you set it each time which is exactly what she needs. The built in alarm on the SIII requires you to set the exact day each time you set the alarm. Is there anyway to have the built in alarm go to a "only once" type alarm vs having to set the day each time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:
I didnt use the default alarm before I dumped TW, and I know this pry isnt the answer you were looking for but I've been loving alarm clock pro. I believe theres a free version.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaz617:
I was wondering if there exists a mod or extension to relocate the tab bar to the bottom in chrome for Android? Would look great with PA and be more usable on tablets IMO.

OR, implement a slider on the left with your tabs as a list (I forget the name of that UX design, a la g+).

I may try and implement this sometime if none exists.
[Android Apps and Games] jzoo:
Hello everyone! I am sure that every Android gamer is aware of the awesome new product from Power A known as the Moga controller. If not you can check it out here at the Power A website. Basically it is a controller that attaches onto your Android device to allow for endless gaming possibilities. Actually, scratch the part about "endless gaming possibilities." The possibilities are NOT endless because Power A decided to limit Moga compatibility to games only officially supported by Moga. Even worse, you need to have the official "Moga Pivot App" from Google Play installed AND running in the background WHILE you play the game. There is a huge problem with this setup: many apps that are not being developed any more may NEVER get Moga support. For example, every emulator app by yongzh hasn't been updated in months. The last time his N64 app was updated was sometime in July. Every other emulator app hasn't been updated for more than a year, so I think we can assume that he has stopped developing. So here is my request: make an app that is similar to Sixaxis Controller that would allow us to use the Moga gaming controller on any app with bluetooth controller support. I don't think it would be too hard to pull off. If this could be done, it would truly make the gaming possibilities endless for Moga. Otherwise, this device is useless to me.
[Android Apps and Games] ObsidianX:
I've been working on reverse engineering the connection tonight since it doesn't just advertise itself as a HID device. I've got the initialization/ping/flush commands figured out and have the response data figured out, too. Tomorrow night I'll start working on writing an IME that translates everything into nice, standard events.

Stay tuned!
[Android Apps and Games] Thwiipp:
Awesome! I just got this as a gift and was sorely disappointed with the closed ecosystem it introduced. I was sad that i might have to return it since it felt nice in the hand. If you managed to get this working that would be so awesome! Ill be looking out for your fix.
[Android Apps and Games] Trooper_Max:
Great work ObsidianX, it really annoys me that they didn't implement this controller as a standard bluetooth HID device.

I was actually considering ordering one until I saw the reviews that pointed this out. I still don't know if I would want to order one if you/the community figure out how to make it openly compatible - it should have been that way in the first place! Then it could work with PCs/Laptops/other devices too... that's actually what I like about the look of this controller - close the folding arm and you have a decent looking regular controller that could be used with anything, unfold it to attach your phone and it works there too... It would have been awesome, but that's not what they made it to be.

Still I look forward to following your efforts and might consider ordering one if it does end up working out well enough!

[Android Apps and Games] poo-tang:
Would be nice if you could also mod it the other way and have Native USB controllers (I.E dualshock3 or X-box pad) seen as a MOGA controller to the pivot app. We could then have full on game support (with no on-screen controls) from the likes of Gameloft, E.A for normal NICE controllers which have more of a pedigree. Why pay $50 for a cheap controller with triple A battery's when you could get one of the best controllers ever made for half the price and have it function the same if not better.

PS - If people are only interested in the clip here is a better idea - Gameclip and SIXAXIS

Great work on the app OP!

On a slightly related topic...

The MOGA site lists Dead Trigger as one of the supported games for the controller. I've not been able to get Dead Trigger to work with the stock app or the app from this thread.

Has anyone else had any success getting Dead Trigger to work, and if so, how did you do it?

Got the freebie in the mail. Seems I can run it fine for a few minutes on either the nexus 4 or 7, but then it starts to lose accuracy. Playing an fps, where once I could look up in a controlled manner, it gets to the point where trying the same amount of motion on the sticks makes me look at the sky. Ideas?

Hey ObsidianX I originally bought the Moga for my droid but it was incompatible (the phone was way too slow for games anyway).

[Android Apps and Games] ObsidianX:
I'm not familiar with the WDK and probably won't be developing a native Windows driver for the MOGA. There are probably some issues with the fact that it's a Bluetooth device as well, but again I've never played with the WDK. Sorry!

On a side note: since the current version of the driver has been met with such horrid backlash due to some devices being incompatible I'm back to the drawing board to create a more user friendly interface that will also hopefully be less error prone. It's not trivial to solve problems on devices that I don't own, especially when I am forced to use some reflected, hidden Android APIs to get what I need, done. I've got a lot on my plate right now so I don't know when the development will continue but it's still on my mind. I've got a Google doc that I jot down new ideas in from time to time.
