[HTC Rezound] CharliesTheMan:
Easiest way I find to get the right directory is to browse on your computer to the folder where fastboot.exe is located. For me it's C:\Android SDK\platform-tools

In other words when I open that platform tools folder the contents are adb.exe, fastboot.exe, good stuff like that.

So my exact steps are press start button in windows, choose "computer" from the start menu. Double click the C driver, double click Android SDK and then I'll see platform tools.

**Here's the important part**

Hold down shift, right click on "platform tools" and then choose the option "Open Command Window Here" from the right click dialog box. Holding shift gives you those extra options. I would have my boot.img file inside the platform tools folder because that's where fastboot.exe is located.

So shift and right click on platform tools, then click on "Open Command Window Here" and then make sure the phone is in fastboot-usb mode (boot to hboot and if it doesn't say fastboot USB at the top in bright red, you need to select fastboot from the list), and type the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the quotes and press enter. When It's done writing use the command fastboot reboot or manually reboot and you should be good to go.
[HTC Rezound] ghostt021:
Think I've figured out the problem. It's not fastboot, but somewhere in the installation of the kernel. Kernel installs but the only kernels that will boot are 3.6 ones. All others regardless of kernel or Rom combo simply continuously boots or bootloops. Also computer see device in fastboot.... I'm clueless at this point.

I keep hearing about an OTA update that fixes the battery life percentage issues. To get this do I have to revert back to stock, install the OTA update, then unlock and re-root or is this something that can be incorporated into future kernels?
[HTC One V] Curiousn00b:
I thought it was an update to the system. What does it include? I thought it was just some files in stuff like Bin, etc, or Lib. :/
[HTC One V] bradthomas127:
Just got this update last week and it finally fixed the battery issue for me.

Info how to do it: How to upgrade One V with an OTA update
[HTC One V] MasterTec:
That's fine and dandy but are you running a custom rom? If i revert to stick and run the ota, I get constant reboot issues after flashing a Rom after that. If I undo the ota (by running the ruu) then I can flash a Rom with no problems.
[HTC One V] bradthomas127:
I wasn't at the time i answered because i had just did the update but when i tried to go back to a custom Rom i had the same problem and had to run the RUU. Sorry about that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gatorstew:
Sorry if this is a dup, guys, but I couldn't find this issue anywhere regarding the GS II, however it does appear to also be an issue with some Nexus devices. So I'm running the T989 with CM10(11-6) and 4.2 Gapps. Everything is good until I attempt to make a Tiny Planet out of a 360-degree pic using Photo Sphere. It sits there for a couple of seconds and then FC's the Gallery. I've tried using the default '20' size as well as the smallest, biggest, etc. Anyone know a fix for this?

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
Ive been with the Gnwx for almost a year now. I love the speed etc but the battery life isnt cutting it for me anymore. ANd honestly, Im not into flashing like I once was. I use the phone for 90% internet, 8% text and 2% GPS. thats pretty much it. The Gnex gets BAD signal in the building where I work, when people on TMO have full signal, Im rocking 1-2 bars on a good day. Its usually 1 bar. Even other VZW people are at least 1/2-full bars at all times. Funny thing is, once Im outside I get good signal. But once I get into the country-ish areas, the signal gets hit again. I can get 1.75-2 hours of use from the extended VZM OEM battery. Ive tried different roms and kernels to not much help.

So all in all, I need a phone that has good radios and good-decent battery. I guess that phone would be the Maxx right? Best battery life and best radios? What do you guys recommend?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
Absolutely. My buddy has a Maxx and although it is heavy and ugly, it is a rock solid phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
I was thinking about that. As much as I dont want to, the thing that means most to me now is battery life and signal. Not the latest and greatest.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xheavymetaldadx:
The maxx HD my brother got 32 hours with normal usage Facebook texts and what not
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
My buddy upgraded from ICS to JB and he told me he was only getting half the battery life he used to get.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
I've read (the usual caveats here) that the Galaxy Note II has both very good reception and what I can only describe as astounding battery life. One tester mentioned 8 hours of onscreen time (!). And that's with the huge 5.5" screen. Also survived drop tests intact, has removable battery, sdcard slot, FM radio, excellent CPU benchmarks, and on and on.

Not to some people's taste, of course, but very interesting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
Hmmmmm, buy spare batteries?

;p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] android.4.0:
i used to get bad signal to till i got the 4.1.1 update now its better not perfect but better i agree i use it for 90% internet i usually charge over night and once in the day about 60% i would suggest maybe the nexus 4 or s3 there maybe a better battery out there probably cost about $80+ tho
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
Your buddy used a leak that isn't final. Not trying to bash or anything just pointing that out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djluis48:
If you want battery life, get the Droid Rarz HD Maxx. Nothing beats that phone in terms of battery life. Plus its a great device with a nice screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tokuzumi:
The RAZR max has a great battery. Why not try a seidio 3500 mah battery, if you want to keep the nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgyberg:
I used my buds Note 2 and that is a pretty awesome phone. I pounded it with downloads, streaming vids etc and was over 4 hours of screen on time. The battery was still at 43% even with that huge display at over 70% brightness. Pretty crazy stuff!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
Yep. Note 2 Is probably the best battery life out now, but it is a huge phone. Better wait and hold it first OP haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Didn't realize the Note2 was receiving so much praise for its battery, that's really cool because I have been thinking about picking one up.

Note 2 - 3,100mAh

RAZR MAXX HD - 3300mAh

And I have no idea what carrier(s) but supposedly the new Lenovo P770 will have a 3500mAh battery.

I am very happy OEMs are starting to focus on the batteries, it took them waaay too long imo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
thanks guys. I dont want to get the Seido battery because its massive! Look how thin that maxx is..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] germish12:
External perhaps...

Not sure if you have just considered upgrading to the 2100mah samsung battery that was going to be stock with the original sale...supposedly adds like 30% to battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
I did that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vince7:
The maxx has great battery but please compare the beauty of the note 2 to the hideousness of just another droid. Besides Samsung never let's you down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
The Maxx HD is far better looking than the note 2 IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
What about the bootloader on the MAXX though? I know it's locked, and I dont believe it is in the Moto "BL unlock program". An unlocked BL is a requirement for me because of AOSP. This isn't usually something you have to worry about with Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
I dont need a nice screen for web browsing lol I do SOMETIMES use netflix though..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
The Note 2 won't have an unlocked bootloader either, i would be willing to guarantee.

that said, Samsung's locked boot loaders seem easier to unlock than Motorola's right now, but there's no promise that won't change. Neither will run AOSP well and with dev support leaving the Exynos platform by the droves, I would bet the Note 2 will actually have a worse AOSP experience.

I haven't seen the Note 2 yet (and I'm sure it has an incredible screen even compared to the Maxx) but if you're used to the screen on the Gnex, the Maxx will blow you away. It's a beautiful screen by comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1Thess523:
Spectrum II is pretty good unless you want to flash ROMs.

If I didn't hate moto I'd say get a Maxx.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
Like I said It seems that the more and more I flash roms I cannot find anything that works good let alone making it doable... Its just becoming a PITA. And you dont even need to root anymore lol YOu can tether using Foxfi and be good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1Thess523:
I should also mention that several of my peers have the GS3 and love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
The Samsung Note 2 has better battery life than GSlll, also it blows away the GSlll in performance, its the best lte phone out there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
The note 2 is not a phone. I don't care what they sell it as, it's a phablet. 5.5" screen =/= phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Erm. They sell it as a phablet, LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
Samsung is basically responsible for the coining of the word phablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
yeha I dont want to get that big of a .... phone lol. I have to nail down what has better battery life, the SGIII or the Maxx/MaxxHD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vince7:
Bigger is always better my friends. Imo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mroneeyedboh:
How are you going to out it in your pants pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:

Hello,

I`m new to the forum and new to the android world. I have the droid 3 winth android 2.3, and I`ve been looking for a way to upgrade it to ICS. I would like to know if there is any way to upgrade the droid 3 to android 4.0, but with a stable version, because i read about some roms that comes with a lot of bugs, like the camera not working or others problems. So please, is there any great android 4.0 rom for my droid 3 ??

Thanks, and sorry if i disrespect any rule !
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Yes there's a ICS with but it's not stable and not finished and it probably won't be finished. This is because after the ICS version a way was found to load custom kernel on D3. Hashcode is currently busy getting JB to work with a custom kernel on the D3, and while it doens't have camera it's way faster and very close to a daily rom IMO.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
there is no jb rom which will keep your data without first backing it up.

When you upgrade to JB roms the file structure of the rom changes, that why they recommend you do a full wipe before using as old appsmay cause FC because some of the data inside may not be compatiable with JB.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liabilityman:
You can use an app such as "SMS Backup +" on the Play store to back up your messages and call logs to your Google account. Very useful!

I would also recommend saving your numbers/contacts to your Google account as well. If you're going to be switching ROMs every now and then, it makes the whole process a lot easier.

But yeah, you will always need to wipe when changing your firmware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1Chef:
Why not just buy titanium backup pro and you can back up all apps and messages with the same app and now you can save them as flashable zips that you can add after you've flashed the rom in cwm

Updated Safestrap for RAZR-HD/Atrix-HD to v3.12:

Download the APK Installer Here for "RAZR-HD/ATRIX-HD"

md5sum: 9b3d75e84c06d1e71af1bf1bad57faf3

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: How to Safestrap

CHANGES:

[01/04] (3.12) Fix initial file selector location for backup/restore

[12/29] (3.11) Allow use of custom updater-binary in .zip files for flashing on stock ROM (virtual slots still use prebuilt updater-binary in recovery).

[12/29] (3.11) BUGFIX: Fixed fake flash error at the end of a .zip install. (No real error, .zip installs fine)

[12/29] (3.10) Early support for booting custom ROMs on stock partitions. * STILL TESTING -- BUGGY*

[12/29] (3.10) Enable flashing to stock ROM

After .zip installations, nandroid restore or system wipe on the stock ROM: the current Safestrap files are restored to the system partition (Doesn't include the APK in /data -- so if you're restoring an old backup, be sure to update the Safestrap APK)

During the Safestrap files restore a check is done to be sure there are minimal files on /system to re-enter Safestrap

[12/27] (3.07) Bugfix: missed some changes in Safestrap 3.06

[12/26] (3.06) Bugfix/Update for JB4.1 OTA for DroidRAZR (Non-JB devices can also use)

SPECIAL THANKS TO:

- The entire TWRP team who has built an AMAZING recovery system.

- The testers (BigDX) which have helped in past and present versions of Safestrap, knowing that it could mean they brick their devices.

As always let Hashcode know what you think!!!

For users running jellybean leak only

INSTRUCTIONS for getting STOCK running on a rom-slot:

[ EDIT: 11/15, Removed fix-rom-slot.zip from instructions. It's no longer needed and screws up paid apps. ]

STEPS:

1. Install Safestrap 3 from the above notes

2. Reboot into recovery

3. Make a backup of your stock rom slot

4. Go into "Boot Options" and create a new rom-slot (if you haven't) -- 1GB data is probably good enough for most users

5. Once that is created it may say "rom slot: off" at the top, make sure to go back into the new rom-slot and use "Activate" button

6. Now use the "Restore" button on the main menu to restore the backup you made of stock to the new rom-slot

7. When that's done restoring, use "Wipe" -> "Factory Reset" and then "Dalvik Cache" from the main menu

8. At this point you should have a full working copy of the stock MotoBlur ROM on a rom-slot which you can flash and modify w/o fear of bricking.

9. Reboot and enjoy

IF USERS on STOCK ICS want a method for getting that onto a rom-slot as well, let Hashcode know.
