[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captainjerky:
Hey all-

Just got the Razr M and am loving it so far. On a side to note to this topic, I have to give a shout to the CyanogenMod team. I was using CM7 on my old Incredible and it really gave the phone new life. One of the reasons I picked the Motorola was the fact that they seemed to have the closest to 'stock' android out there. I have noticed that a lot of the things I loved about CM7 are included in the new JB operating system in the new Razr. I'm not as much of an expert at many of you, so I don't know who was talking to whom there, but it really seems like Android got the best bits of the CM7 release installed stock in my new phone. I'm sure I'll find gripes and get the urge to root this one after a while, but I had to give credit to the CM team for a great product.

Anyway, here's the reason for my post. I was stuck trying to transfer files between the phone and PC to no avail, much like many other people I came across on the net while researching the problem. I ran across a solution at another forum that worked for me (I don't know why, but there it is...). I went to the development tab and chose 'allow USB debugging' and 'allow mock locations'. For some reason that got the Motorola connect software (which I installed out of desperation and takes me to Verizon's unwanted backup website) to realize my phone was there, and also gave me full access to file transfers.

If this is old news, please disregard, but at the risk of sounding like a noob I'll post it in case it helps anyone else.

Cheers!

Ryan

I have tried that numerous times and even reinstalled the drivers a few times and my phone still won't show up in my computer, what os are you running? I'm running XP pro still no dice..
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captainjerky:
Drivers

I'm running Vista 64 bit. You may mock me now! :)

I just let Motorola install the drivers, didn't go to the website and add extras or anything like that. Sorry about the issues, good luck!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captainjerky:
Another thought?

You know, I forgot about this, but it bears mentioning. I have one USB port on my PC that operates at 1.1 speeds (or whatever it was before 2.0). It was one of those fancy cases where there were all kinds of extra goodies on it, but for some reason just this one lone port wouldn't take anything at 2.0 or better speeds for the life of me. When I plugged my data cable into that by accident, it timed out with an error. When I used a proper USB 2.0 port, everything went find\e. So, it may be a long shot, but you might want to check that you're on a fast USB port; otherwise, the timeout error sort of looks like a complete hang/crash...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hellknight4206:
I am pretty sure all my USB Ports are 2.0 I could be wrong tho, I installed the drivers with the software from the site that maybe my problem actually, I'll try again tonight

::Edit:: ok so I found out my USB Ports are not 2.0 I had my EVO 4g plugged in charging and when I got home my PC had a dialog stating that my device would perform better on a hi-speed USB port, that's a bummer cuz it is the only port I have :(

I have a friend who worries about it being stolen and he swears by Cerberus. He's been trying to get me to download it for years. My personal defense against thieves consists of Jack Johnson and Tom O'Leary, if you know what I mean.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] skifreek:
This. Its saved me from my own stupidity more times than I can count
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bebeloneovvl:
Cerberus, I got the root version. The thief can't even uninstall by wiping the phone. Great features like record audio, take pic w/front-rear camera, grab screen shot, get call log, get sms log, lock phone w/code, wipe internal memory, wipe sd card and many more things. the best paid app i've paid for. And you can use it on five different phones!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Astom22:
Change mine to Cerebus too.

I started playing with Android lost again, hadn't since rooting, and couldn't get it to work. So I installed Cerebus and like it. Once my trial expires, I will be purchasing it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NeonMonster:
Cerberus is worth the money in a heart beat.

Being able to have full control of the phone remotely if needed is priceless. It can take front or back camera pictures even if locked and email them or save them. Also able to wipe the phone storage and SD storage.

I was wondering if there was anyway I could use the S3s wifi connection for a laptop. Not tethering using 3g
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Do you mean like this:

Wifi Hotspot > S3 > Laptop

?

If you do, you could use CWM tether (its usb tethering) or Wifi tether for root users (works if your phone is connected to Wifi but some people have had issues with that, I have not)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lilman355:
Kinda like ad-hoc but having it emit from the phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
Let me see....

You have someone Wi-Fi key stored in your phone, and want to share it to your laptop?

Try with Bluetooth, or in Play "Wi-Fi key recovery"

Also you can clone your phone mac address.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChaseBroyles:
Tethering is using 3G. There's no other way to share data. Are you rooted?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Yeah...what he said...because if its wifi to phone to laptop then you might as well connect to the wifi directly right? Idk, I still dont really understand what you're trying to do
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lilman355:
One of my laptops doesn't have a 5Ghz network card and since my phone can connect to that band, I was wondering if there was an ad-hoc like thing for android.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChaseBroyles:
I'm still not understanding what you want to do. Why don't you just connect to the network from your laptop and leave the phone out of the process?

This phone can not emit WiFi and use WiFi at the same time. Does that answer your question?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lilman355:
Alright it answers my question
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Ahh ok, I've done that before on an OG evo AND evo shift, so it is possible...now whether it would work on this phone, I' don't know, some people have had issues but look around and try all the apps you can find to see if they will do the trick

I used wifi tether for root users v2.2/v2.1 (can't remember which one it was) and it worked flawlessly, just a lot of battery drain but thats to be expected
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ChaseBroyles:
You can use your WiFi and tether at the same time?

I can USB Tether WiFi (like a network adapter), but I've never been able to tether my WiFi connection.

Hey guys! I just had a quick question. I recently flashed my phone with Liquid Smooth ROM and after that, the screen went 101% blank :confused:. I tried to turn it on, but NOTHING WORKED! I even called Samsung to see if they can help but nothing... any help guys?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FineTalent:
I'm impressed that you were able to call and ask Samsung for help with an issue after flashing a custom ROM!

On a serious note, have you tried pressing the button combinations to get in to recovery/download mode? If after trying that and it still does not work, try using a USB Jig to force your phone to download mode. Once in download mode, just flash a stock ROM through Odin and your phone should be working again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
What was the exact name of the file you flashed? Did it have the words d2tmo in it? If it did, that's for the Galaxy S3.

Awesome job man!

Glad someone is working on this, I've been in touch with some guys that are really good with the CWM recoveries and getting the soft buttons to work seems to be a huge issue, would love to have that. Koush has it working in his touch CWM versions, perhaps he could be of assistance.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
This is greatly appreciated. While TWRP is working just fine for me, I like Classic CWM - probably because I used it on my OG Dinc. I'm good with the volume/power keys to navigate.

Would you please add an MD5 to the OP for the downloaded file? I'd like to make sure it came down completely before flashing it.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] DavDoc:
Does a "back" button not exist for our phone?

Thanks for building this, I am most familiar with CWM.

The capacitive back/home/recent buttons do not currently work, this is a known issue. I uploaded a gesture enabled build today that gets around this problem.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Testing the gesture enabled version (cwmr-touch-6.0.2.7-fireball-beta1.2) now. So far so good.

Flashed the recovery without any issues

I started with the "classic" vol-up/vol-down/power - all working fine as per the classic method

I then tried the gesture method - very nice :good:

(Re)booted into recovery from menu without any problem

Made Nandroid backup without any problems

Appears to work well with ROM Manager Premium - it recognized the backup I just made

ROM Manager auto-scheduled Nandroid backup feature worked flawlessly! (auto scheduled reboot into recovery, auto backup, auto reboot to system) :D

Restored my first backup from within recovery (not ROM Manager) without any problem

I will play more with it later, but so far it is working great.:good:

Outstanding work, mdmower!

Thanks for this! I will be nice to have auto-scheduled Nandroids again :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I appreciate the extensive testing. I'll tone down the warning in the OP.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
My pleasure

Maybe call yours cwmr-swipe. The swipe navigation is really nice.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
That was the name I was originally going to use, but the source modifications to clockworkmod were not done by me, so I want to respect the developer's choice of name. He's been using it for a while, check out the marketplace app: CWMR Touch Installer. I don't want to put the cart before the horse, but I'm hoping to get this recovery included in the installer.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] gweedo767:
Its included in the installer now. Had to update the app for support so it might take an hour or so for the update to hit all the Play servers.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Fair enough. Regardless of what its called, it works very well :)

Looks like you got your wish, too:

Congrats
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
I missed this earlier, but the backup time appears to be wrong. If possible, can this be fixed? Not a big deal though, but slightly annoying.

One nice thing about the TWRP recovery is that it uses the external SD card for backups. However, the CWM uses the internal SD for backups. Is it possible to automatically swap the internal/external SD cards and use the external for backups by default?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
The time stamps do seem to be janky. In my tests:

issue backup from rom manager: filename with local timestamp but rom manager 'manage backups' reports UTC time

issue backup from cwm (started from bootloader): filename with UTC and rom manager reports UTC

This seems a little inconsistent since the rom manager initiated backup uses local time.

I'm passing word along to the CWM folks to see if this is a bug on their end (don't expect a miracle though, I don't exactly have much "reputation").

ROM Manager: Settings > Use External Storage

Recovery: Backup and Restore > backup to external sdcard

These don't seem any more difficult than backing up to internal. Am I missing something?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
I'm not terribly concerned about the timestamp, as it should be consistent within itself and the latest will be obvious even if several are done during the same day.

I missed the backup to external option. The "original" CWM recovery I was remembering from my OG Dinc automatically used the external SD because it was the only option (i.e. no internal SD card). It would be nice to use the external SD Card by default if possible and back up to internal if desired.

Still very happy with this recovery so far!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jcpowell:
Finally got around to trying this and the gestures very cool bro working well, much appreciated!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
Any chance of this making its way to goo.im? It'll make flashing this a breeze
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I don't really have experience with goo manager, so you can test and be my guinea pig:

GooManager: devs/mdmower/htc-fireball/recovery

They're uploaded in img format, not sure if the manager requires zip flashable recoveries. Perhaps you can let me know?

IMG installation isn't supported in CWM. Will try flashable zips later.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
Took this from your twrp thread check the bottom paragraph the kernel needs to be open recoveryscript what that is exactly idk

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/139
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Recovery needs open recovery script support. TWRP is but I think efforts were abandoned for CWM. I still might be able to make flash able packages. Will try later (bit busy on another project at the moment).

Re: [Recovery] ClockworkMod 6.0.2.7 with Gestures - Unofficial Beta 1.2

If you want a simple, easy and quick way to flash recoveries without using the bootloader or fastboot this app is effective I personally have used it. But find it more rewarding the old fashioned way.

ClockworkMod for the Inc 4G has gone official. You now have the option of installing the recovery through ROM Manager.

There's actually no change relevant to this device in the version bump from 6.0.2.7 to 6.0.2.8. If you're happy with your current 6.0.2.7, don't feel obligated to update.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] MJL99:
will the unofficial gesture recovery be phased out for the official touch version from koush?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
No, if only because I prefer it. The official touch version has kind of a clunky button interface.

Re: [Recovery] ClockworkMod 6.0.2.8 Official Builds

Congrats on getting this officially released! Great job, mdmower!

Is the official version CWMr? ROM Manager it's dutifully telling me that there is an update. I really like your gesture version of CWM.

Sent from my Fireball using Xparent Blue Tapatalk2
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
The special swipe version (CWMR Touch) is unofficial because it uses different UI source code. ROM Manager wont flash that version, but you can still select 'Device Not Listed Above' in ROM Manager to configure it to use the unofficial version for backups, restores, etc.

Re: [Recovery] ClockworkMod 6.0.2.8 Official Builds

2 official recoverys and cm10, you are gr8 mdmower
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Thanks. I had done the "device not listed" before the recovery was official and ROM Manager was always happy.

I manually installed CWMR 6.0.2.8 via fastboot and ROM Manager gave a notice about an upgrade available. I turned off the "Update Notification" option in ROM Manger and again set "device not listed". Re-opening ROM Manager, it continued to complain about an update. So, for grins, I had ROM Manager download and flash the latest official 6.0.2.8 version, which it did without problem. I rebooted into recovery and confirmed that the gesture version was gone. ROM Manager is happy now - no notification and it reflects latest version installed. I do not believe it was showing 6.0.2.8 before as the version installed.

Next, I re-flashed the CWMr version, rebooted to recovery to verify the gesture version is installed. Full re-boot followed by launching ROM Manager... ROM Manager is still happy. :good:

Thanks again!

Anyone else having trouble flashing with rom manager, i keep getting an error-make sure you have a stable internet connection and sdcard installed with free space.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I have not seen that. Sounds to me like the md5 didn't check out after downloading. Try manually deleting the downloaded recovery image, ensuring you have enough space on internal and external sd, then re-downloading.

Re: [Recovery] ClockworkMod 6.0.2.8 Official Builds

Mine flashed problem free through rom manager. So happy to be back on clockworkmod recovery.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I have a test build for you guys to put through the gauntlet.

Changes:

1) Enable USB mount support for internal and external storage

2) Larger roboto font

This is still based on CWM 6.0.2.8, so let's call this version 6.0.2.8b.

Edit: Recovery image pulled while internal testing resumes.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
So far so good. (6.0.2.8B). The larger font is nice - much easier to read and nothing is going off of the screen

Minor picky point in the "advanced restore from external sd" - There is a missing word in the white text: "The next menu will you more options"

When using the USB mount support, should the following work?

adb shell /system/bin/sdutil ums enable

mount /dev/sdb ~/SDCARD

Semi-related question: When entering sideload, how can one get out of that mode without a battery pull (or sending a sideload ROM?) (I am using ADB 1.0.29)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I have submitted that and one other change for review.

No fiddling should be necessary at all. You just need to go to mount > mount USB storage. Do the drives not automatically show up on your computer? It looks like you're using Linux; my Mint 14 (ubuntu 12.10 based) box shows them very quickly.

Seems the back button does not function. I found this in the source, so it's a known issue:

// TODO(dougz): there should be a way to cancel waiting for a
// package (by pushing some button combo on the device). For now
// you just have to 'adb sideload' a file that's not a valid
// package, like "/dev/null".
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
On my Windows 7-64 machine, both internal and external drives appear, but neither have data, "Please insert disk in removable disk." Same status before mounting the drives and after mounting the drives (mounts->mount /external_sd and mounts->mount /sdcard).

Even though I have the latest HTC drivers installed on this machine, I am not sure they work properly.

I'll try again later using my XP 32-bit laptop

Edit: Same result using my XP 32-bit laptop. This computer usually plays very nice with the Dinc4g.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Ok, likely has to do with generic product ids. I'll put together another build (this is why I make test releases!). Thanks for the feedback.

Edit: I think something might be buggy in CWM's mount routines. Perhaps partitions are not properly unmounted from the ramdisk before ums is enabled? Looks like I'll be digging around recovery code for a bit. TWRP has USB mount working well, so maybe I can port some routines.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
Anytime. I am happy to test recovery builds (phone downtime is minimal). I'll watch for the new build announcement in this thread.
