I am now reporting anything I see as a possible fire starter in lot of threads. I reported 2 last night. One that the persons post was completely ignored. Second was, well I haven't made my way to that section yet this morning... But woody is right there is a report button and instead of telling the person off or bashing them for them trolling and trying to start drama, just push the report button. It'll save the drama and make the mods life's easier also.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ticojpunk:
Agreed, ANY off topic posts, even if they are well intentioned, distract from the thread. And they always lead to more and more off topic argumentative posts. Forget trying to sort people out yourself, just click the report button and be done with it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Well, let's not go crazy here. jk Use your best judgment. We don't need gestapo type reporting, but you get the idea of what is needed.

It would behoove (yes I said behoove) people to maybe look at how a report is done. My buddy TonyStark had put a thread together a while ago on how to use the Report function. {Guide} Getting a Moderators help. I also have it linked in my signature, as well. It can be intimidating a bit when you hit that button. Hopefully this will help.

One thing that I might add regarding the reluctance to report you posted above. All reports are anonymous. Only people who know the names are us (Mods) and the User who reported it. Not the person who is being reported (unless you, yourself post in the thread "Reported")

*********

Now at this point, I think that we have strayed from what this thread is trying to accomplish. Posting with Proper Etiquette. Let's turn it back to that, so that when people who are linked back here will understand why. You can always shoot me a PM if you have a question or anything like that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jangst123:
Thank you all for all the input and suggests!

The OP has been updated with your input.

If you think of anything else that should be included in the OP, post it and I will add it!

Hopefully people will be directed to read the OP and it brings us 1 step closer to a happier, friendlier XDA were Developers and Noobs can all post without much drama.

Thank you for making a constructive post, and maintaining it and updating it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zander21510:
This reminds me of the trouble back on the t989 forums while I was there...some great developers left.

The internet is a serious false sense of anonymity. Just because you haven't heard or seen the person posting doesn't mean there isn't a real person there.

I'm no where near smart enough to be a developer, but I have written a few articles and howtos about my jeep on JeepForum. Guys are a lot more appreciative and we can have a good, constructive discussion. For us, we are all in it together with our jeeps.

Show some respect, contribute where you can.

Well done my friend. This kind of thread should be created as a "in general" for all sections:good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] c683:
As you can see, while I have been a member for little bit, I don’t really post much. I just mainly peruse a few of the main ROM threads and do some occasional flashing. With that said, I don’t know all the rules and what an OP can or can’t do with their own thread, maybe this has already been posted, but would it be possible for the OP to have full control over the thread they created? For example, A dev is kind enough to share his/her work with others and starts a ROM thread, things are positive then “user B” comes in and starts causing trouble or offending the dev, the dev then decides there is no place for that in their thread and blocks that user from their thread. So then, user B PM’s the dev, “Hey dev, why did you block me, I apologize if my comments came off as offensive and will be more constructive in the future”, dev says “ok, it’s all good” and allows them back. Human nature, if you know it is that easy to lose access to something you want, you will think twice before making rude comments.

Now I know we don’t need any more egos or power trips but what is better, closing a thread for everyone or just blocking a few from the thread that have been causing trouble.

I also know a Mod can essentially do this but it is a little different I think. Again, just a random thought while working and apologize if this has already been posted or is not even realistic. If that is the case, I am another user guilty of clutter and useless posts! :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
The idea looks good on paper, but in practice it would be abused to no end.

If people have power they will abuse it. Especially on the internet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] c683:
I hear ya and you're right, that's not even just likely, but probably more of a for sure thing! But at least the "power" would only be for their own thread, the same thread they can request to be shutdown by a mod, and then that would be for everyone!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TonyStark R.I.P.:
^^ agreed

The unfortunate situation is this, there are a few Devs that have gone rogue from time to time as well. The Mods are there to intervene and help maintain the peace. The recourse for anybody to use was linked in Woods post above. This has been proven to work extremely well, if utilized. It is truly as simple as that... along w/ some patience;)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
Hard to believe that this thread was pushed down to page 3. Well, not really since there are a ton of Questions in the General which I'll be taking care of here in a minute.

Thread is now Stuck.

Use it. Link to it. Be responsible for it.

Otherwise, you could all be on stock TWiz once all the Devs leave.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jangst123:
Quick rant as to why many of the users get mad when people don't follow the rules!

It's not just the fact that it clutters the developers thread!

Many of us have instant email notification set on our favorite threads.

When we are working and get 20 useless notifications we get a bit mad.

We have instant notifications on to see when our favorite threads are updated and to help users that run into issues.

Often waiting to see when a Developer has released an update!

Not to read 20 people upset because a release was delayed, or because some ungrateful user did not read the OP or take the time to even try to help himself.

So every time you post, you may be spamming a lot of people that were hoping the next email notification would be the developer posting the latest release.

If you want to know when the latest update comes out, I suggest you try the instant notification feature and have some patients.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mike.r.olson:
I know most people think this and I'm sorry if this is a pointless post in this thread, I'm just trying to express my 2 cents.

Developers that choose to share their work on XDA are special. They get to create a share-worthy ROM, or kernel, or app, or theme and they get to create a new thread to share their contribution with everybody. Before they get to post that thread though, they get to rigorously test their contribution on their phone (with the risk of potentially ruining their devices), then they get to make sure they adhere to GPL. They then get to make sure they haven't done any work that could be potentially be accused of a KANG. They then get to make a new thread in the Development, Original Development, or Themes & Apps threads. They then get to answer questions, suggestions, and sadly sometimes, demands from people who are only on XDA because they took the time to create an account and answer to a CAPTCHA. Guess what though; they do this for free. They do it because of the spirit of Android, the spirit of development, and the spirit of sharing. Most of these developers ask only for a click on a "Thanks" button. Some will direct you to a donate button, but (extremely) rarely will any developer demand a donation. (Also, that is a violation of the XDA guidelines.)

Now before I end my post, I want to admit that I'm one of the XDA users that is only here because I took the time to create an account and got lucky on the CAPTCHA. I have zero development experience, I've never created a ROM, or a kernel, or a theme, or even an app. The extent of my Android experience is being able to unzip a ROM, remove unwanted APKs, reZIP it, and flash it. The thing is, I know I'm running an unofficial, unsupported version of that ROM and I won't knock the developer if I have undesirable results from flashing my new "custom" ZIP file. I also won't share that ZIP and claim that it's MIKE.R.OLSON.ROM.

Long story short: Thank you a million times over to any, any, ANY developer that decides to share their contribution with the XDA community. While there are a few that make it difficult, I just hope that I've said what most of us are thinking.

Thanks again developers and thanks again XDA.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kamau54:
Let me just throw in my one cent worth (Uncle Sam took the other penny for taxes).

I have been taking pictures for over 35 years now, and I love it. I do weddings, graduations, some modeling and just about all of it. But I don't charge for doing so because photography is a thing I love too much to adulterate it by taking money. It is not my job, but my hobby. I do it when I want, how I want, because I want.

I get compliments left & right about my work, but there are times when there are those who don't like what they see let me know. And you know what.....It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter because I am doing it for me, and no one else. I appreciate the compliments, but I simply don't let the negatives dictate how I do what I love doing. If I did that, that mean that others are making the choices for me, through me. But most importantly, no one can see the pride I put into my pictures but me. Others may appreciate it, but it's only me who can know what it was like to get that shot, to see what I saw at that moment to make me press the release at the right time. I did that., and no one can take it away from me.

So to all the developers, I say this........don't let those who whine, complain, bicker, chide and gripe about the work you do out here cause you to feel anything more thatn a sense of accomplishment at what you've done. Because in the end, 99% of us out here couldn't do it if we tried. But also, once you've completed what you set out to do, take a minute to just let it sit there on the screen and look at it. Remember all the work you put into it, and admire the outcome. Don't let others make you say, "they don't appreciate it....I'm done". If you do that, you have not only allowed them to control your art, but you've allowed them to control YOU. They have in essence driven YOU away from doing what YOU have a talent, dedication & compassion to do. But I promise you that also for every petty response you read in the threads, you will find 10 who have whole-heartedly said "Thanks". Know that what you have put together is now on hundreds of phones all across the planet. That means that a little bit of you is out there as well, and guarenteed that at any given moment, someone you'll probably never meet is saying to the phones owner "Man, that phone looks sweet. How can I get mine like that?". That will be because of you.

I will say it too, to all the devs who make roms, kernels, themes and apps..........Thank You.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] iamx89:
Couldn't have said it better myself. If a negative comment can keep you from doing something, you were doing it for the wrong reason in the first place. Do it because of the way it makes YOU feel but also take pride in seeing that many people do appreciate it.

I go back into System Update and it says "Update Failed".

Is anyone else receiving this message or having this problem? Might it be because my stock ROM is rooted?

well i have copyed the zip now but cant work out now how to get it on my pc so i can change the updater script. The file is protected and I cant copy from phone to pc in anyway (ADB,File Transfer,PortGrab cant even change the file permissions nothing any suggestions here would be much appreciated

If someone gets the update successfully could you make a NANDROID or .xml backup

Thankyou All

Yes was aware of that thanks anyway.. Did your update fail?

I Have looked at the log and it looks like the build.prop that TWRP loads is for 4.1.2 and its Dhackers CM10 Prop file or am I wrong?

if anyone could Get P3Droids app to capture the ROM so I could try that

also would love to know if apacheo had any luck with his update cause as far as I know we have done the same things as to get JB running on our Ms

Any other suggestions much appreciated

Thanks
[Droid RAZR M General] apacheo:
Yeah I managed to get the update on my M.

Had to flash back to Telstra stock ICS though, then the OTA worked properly. Had to use stock recovery too, TWRP wouldn't flash it.

Was a ***** to get it going but I got there in the end.
[Droid RAZR M General] Cuzzo-:
i have done the fastboot restore to stock ICS how did you get the stock recovery back on Apache? I have tried several times and no dice!

See my PM - you can do it with TWRP, just have to edit the updater-script to remove the asserts.

[Droid RAZR M General] dan.steck:
p3toolbox doesn't seem to be working with telstra's jb. I've been trying for days to do the xml backup. usually it says the sd card is not mounted or it's write protected.

sometimes it does it's thing but the backup folder is always empty.

I managed to "install" ota with twrp, failed right at the end (at the "update partitions" stage) but everything seems to be working fine, no FCs, been using for the last week with absolutely 0 issues)

in the updater script (from meta-inf/google/android) I've deleted the first line (with the mount, don't forget to mount system in twrp before hitting install) + the next 2 asserts (to stop checking build.prop)

hope that helps.

if anyone needs the ota file, just ask
[Droid RAZR M General] lonelyingorgeous:
Do you mind uploading your ota file Dan?

I tried editing my updater-script like you described but got a "Status 6" error. :S

Thank you :)
[Droid RAZR M General] dan.steck:
after the update fails, in twrp, you can go in Advanced->Copy Log to SD, look for a recovery.log in the root of your sd card to see exactly what the problem is

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 PM ----------

Forgot to mention: use notepad++ to edit the update script.

Notepad will save things with windows line endings (\r\n) and Android will not like those.
[Droid RAZR M General] cellzealot:
I will bring it to P3Droid's attention that the XML backup seems to be broken on Telstra JB and see if he has any insight into the issue.

Edit: check this thread where he responded about another issue with similar symptoms that is resolved by reinstalling busybox from the market.

That should fix the mount error with the sdcard.

[Motorola Photon 4G] def2moto:
Hey folks, a while back performance on the stock Motorola ROM on my Photon 4G got so horrible that I flashed peetr's excellent stock/CM7 hybrid ROM - which is usable with the locked bootloader. It works much better. However I've since switched from Sprint over to Ting, but they can't activate my Photon with peetr's ROM and (after trying - their customer service is pretty good) said I would need to reflash it to stock so they could activate it.

I'm sorry for posting this but I've searched and dug around through the guides and can't really find a good guide to simply flashing back to stock, nor an image of the Sprint stock ROM (after the OTA update that locked the boot loader). Can anyone help? I'm practically ready to buy a used Photon running stock and try to sell this one just to avoid the hassle but I figured I'd ask.

Edit: there is this list of stock ROMs but I don't know which to use since my Photon got the crippling OTA update. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20331570&postcount=3

What is included?

The sbf file of the newest Chinese xt910 jellybean rom.

Installation

MAKE A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM, USER DATA BEFORE USING THE FILE BELOW!

1. Download the file

2. Download Motorola Driver and RSD Lite

3. Connect your Razr with your computer in fastboot mode

4. Flash via RSD until the process bar shows a "PASS".

5. Enjoy!

Note

I did some changes over this sbf file. I deleted the cdt file and erase the flash command from the flash.xml to avoid the upgrade of bootloader.

Don't worry, you will certainly able to flash this sbf flawlessly and downgrade back to ICS with relevant ICS sbf file.

PS Flashing this sbf file to Non-Chinese Razr requires erasing CID of your razr. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!
