Never had a problem with mine stock, nor with Snow JB v1.1
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Mramos860:
Dam

I did a factory reset and I'm completely stock. If I have 5 conversations and I am going through deleting one at a time my messaging app will freeze after it deletes a conversation and the name on the contacts conversations will go away and it will just be their numbers showing and I won't be able to use the app it will be frozen and I have to hit the home button and manually close the app or in 15-20 seconds the "messaging app stop responding would you like to wait or force close" sign will pop up. The stock messaging app has a software flaw. My phone kept doing the sleep of death and once that stopped this started. I would get the s4,if it wasn't being released at the end of April.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Matt James:
I'm stock too and had never experienced this yet. Must be ****ty luck mate :(
[AT&T LG Optimus G] id10terrordfw:
Run the LGPNST. No one else has this "flaw" so the most likely culprit is a bad MMS.apk. Not the entire software line. I have well over 7k total messages in my db and it works perfectly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Red Phone:
Hey I've searched all over the forums and I haven't found a thread like this yet...all I wanna know is has anyone noticed the 12/24 leak to be better than the official JB push, I.E less bloat, more stable, or any other advantages?? I just got notified on my phone and I want to know before I install it. :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
Here is the official change log for the official ota http://www.droid-life.com/2013/03/0...oes-with-stock-google-apps-instead-changelog/

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Red Phone:
Not exactly the answer I was looking for but good info nonetheless.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
The official has less bloat and bug fixes. The change log should give you all the info you need to make a decision.

Android Aggression Team
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Red Phone:
Less bloat than the 12/24/12 leak? Because all that stuff is removed and or changed already. Any advantages or disadvantages to upgrading to official version?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prstorero:
There should be bug fixes from the Christmas leak. You don't really NEED to update though.

Just an FYI, I ran into a few bugs when switching to ota. Ended up full wiping and it is great.
[HTC One X] mccmick:
Hi, where can I find an RUU for Vodafone Ireland. Help much appreciated.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Depends on your main version

Fastboot getvar version-main

Please post the outcome ! :thumbup:
[HTC One X] mccmick:
3.14.161.27

Thanks
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
There is no ruu for that, but there is a nandroid backup of the stock rom you can use

http://bugsylawson.com/index.php/files/file/214-cwm-nandroid-backup-cid-vodap102-31416127/
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Cool, did you flash back the stock recovery too ?
[HTC One X] mccmick:
Just trid that to version 1-28 I think and I'm getting the dreaded red triangle:(

I thought that was a clean versio so maybe something else is wrong. Any ideas?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Uhm wait .... You flashed back a 1.28 stock recovery on a 3.14 rom. That's not going to work.

And what is your goal now actually after the restore ?

And where do you get a red triangle ? When you boot up the phone or when you try to enter the stock recovery ?

When you enter a stock recovery there will always be a warning sign like you describe, we are not supposed to go in there ;)

This is a stock 3.14 recovery

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ms7vd18vb9watr8/stock recovery 3.14.img
[HTC One X] mccmick:
OK, I have now flashed 3.14 and booted into it. first time around it showed the normal icon for a while and then restored my system. Second time around when I booted into recovery is shows the red triangle over the image of a screen. Flashing CWM seems to be ok.

bootloader version: 1.36.0000

version-main: 3.14.161.27

cid: has changed to VODAP001

Should I startt again from the nandroid?

My aim is to fully restore the phone to stock and then lock it before I bring it back to the shop for hardware repair on the yellow/brown patch.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Does the phone boot up properly ?

I don't know if there is a nandroid that also matches your cid ?

Fastboot oem readcid

Will tell the real cid.

Do that and we check if there is one actually available.
[HTC One X] mccmick:
yep, it boots ok into wwm (after reflash) and into the main system but not into recovery if I flash stock.

I can make calls etc and everything seems normal.

Only software issue now seems to be that I can't flash stock recovery successfully :(
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
So when you flash the stock recovery the phone does not boot ?

Oke give the cid with the command, lets check that out :D

Crap....you wrote it in the title....overread it all the way !!!

I have an idea that might work !

Get the nandroid 2.17.161 vodap 001 and restore that one completely !

Then flash back this recovery

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wbav46spkbznovp/stock recovery 2.17.img

Then boot up the phone and update with official ota.

It worked before with and O2 nandroid .... Its worth a shot mate
[HTC One X] mccmick:
Phone itself works with stock recovery but it won't boot into stock recovery itself without red triangle.

I've just been trying to change the cid with "fastboot oem writecid VODAP019" but I keep gettin either "too many links" or "unknow error". Itried tried but with the phone locked and unlocked :crying:

I'll keep trying to see if that will let me flash the stock recovery successfully and boot into it.

Mick
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Hahaha that's the trick, the stock recovery is supposed to give you that warning sign ! That is absolutely normal. When you see that triangle screen you press volume - and power and it should enter the stock recovery. (Could also be volume +, can't recall it in my mind atm)

And you can't write a cid, we need S-OFF to do that .....
[HTC One X] mccmick:
Ok I,m into stock recovery with 2.17 :)

the standard blue options are at the top but I also have failed to mount /sdcard in yellow below that 3 times !! (no such directory).

rebooted and now I am downloading software updates v4.0.475679
[HTC One X] mccmick:
immediately follwed by the main system update as expected :)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yeah that's because the stock recovery can't mount it, the error is also normal. There is not much to do with the stock recovery.....

If the updates go well you het back the original stock JB rom and cid back !

Is it working .... the updates ?
[HTC One X] mccmick:
Hi, the updates took a long time to download. Everything is now working and back to stock.

Thanks for all your help and patience.

Mick
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Good ! Hope you get the fix sorted too :thumbup:

CASE CLOSED !:D
[HTC One X] ss3000:
Sorry for reviving an old thread. But this one seems closest to what I'm stuck on, so hopefully someone can help.

I was running a viperX rom on my htc one X for quite sometime, after updating the rom it was working fine but all of a sudden it stopped picking up any mobile network. Stupidly I deleted everything from recovery (cache, data on the sd card, the android OS, everything!). - No backup unfortunately.

I read about going back to stock, re-locked the bootloader and attempted to install via an RUU. My HTC One X is exactly the same as the one by mccmick, running 3.14.161.27 of the HTC software. Can't find an RUU for it anywhere.

But what do I do now? It ran out of battery, so I used command prompt to get the phone to change a little bit, then re unlocked the bootloader using hasoon2000's tool kit and installed the lastest version of CWM recovery so the phone can charge via mains.

There is no root access on the phone at the moment, can't access the internal sd card to put any ROM or superSU files on there. Mounting the sdcard for usb use via recovery does not work.

How do I resolve? I can't put a nondroid backup to the phone. Ideally I would like to go back to stock, but even if I can just install a rom and get everything working again, I'd be very happy.

Is there any command prompts I can use to send files over to the phone? Send a kernel, rom and root files over?

Should mention my phones cid is VODAP001 and running 3.14.161.27.
[HTC One X] Thant:
flash Philz recovery 5.15.9 and charge the phone mount SD Card and copy your ROM to sd card flash boot.img and install the rom. And if you want stock rom you must to use nandroid backup for your main version.
[HTC One X] ss3000:
Thanks for the reply. I managed to charge my phone via a .bat file through command prompt and then loaded clockwork mod recovery and let it charge. Changed the recovery to twrp

And mount SD Card. Sent the kernel and rom over for maximus HD and it worked. Up and running!

But when I out in my sim card, it still fails to detect a network. The IMEI number still comes up so that's not lost. I don't have a nandroid backup of my own, but I did download one from someone here. Can I run someone else's nandroid back up and how do I do that?

Can't find the RUN for my variant hence stuck to nandroid.
[HTC One X] bandit4:
Sorry to open this again. I have TWRP installed.

Looking for a nandroid backup for Vodafone Ireland.

Cheers.....
[Droid RAZR M General] jco23:
thanks for putting this together. wondering if we have to put the ROM on the "/sdcard" vs. the "mnt/external1" folder. I believe the system (at least on my device) has the "/sdcard" actually stored in the phone's memory, and not the memory card. this is the problem I ran into when using safestrap last time (ran low on memory).
[Droid RAZR M General] cheezzzz:
paste it on /sdcard which is the phone's memory, my ext sd is /sdcard1
[Droid RAZR M General] gdubb360:
safestrap installed but not usable

I have a system version 98.12.4 on my razr m. I've used motofail2go to get root. Installed safestrap with es file explorer.

When opening app safestrap I have(recovery state: installed) and (safe system: not active). There are no boot options, just install or uninstall and the version 3.12

I power down as normal and boot holding vol+- getting to the boot selection menu 10.9b.

Pressing vol- to select BP TOOLS vol+ to enter and I end up with this unusually formatted form of safestrap which is unusable.

I've even flashed back to stock and gone through the process again to the same result.

Any ideas?
[Droid RAZR M General] jfletch86:
you dont have v3.12, thats the only one that worked for me, your SS is showing 3.11
[Droid RAZR M General] gdubb360:
Strange I know, inside the wrongly formatted recovery it says 3.11. Inside of the app it has a version # 3.12. I downloaded from the link at the top of this page.

---------- Post added at 12:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

Alright so I found a new download specific to our device. The download in the original post was not working for me - not sure if it's because it was for the razr hd.

Inside safestrap it still gives v3.11 but everything seems to be normal so far for me.

safestrap razr m download:

(apparently not enough posts to put up a link) but if you visit the Hash-of-Codes website there is a download specific for the m.
[Droid RAZR M General] whatisthiscontraption:
Previously used this site to root and put CM10 on my old X2, which has since passed on to the next world due to one too many times being dropped....

Trying this process now, hoping it all works out. I'm going to try the energy ROM on for size.
[Droid RAZR M General] AndroidAardvark:
Can't boot to Eclipse?

Thanks to the OP for providing his guide. It was very helpful, and has gotten my 99% of the way there....

I have a Razr M that I recently rooted. I installed the newest version of safestrap (3.12) from HOC's website. I'm successfully able to enter recovery, create a partition, format/wipe it, and install Eclipse.

Everything seems fine at first when I reboot; I get the safestrap screen showing that it's activated. Once I continue the boot process, though, the phone just seems to freeze on a blank screen, without ever displaying a splash screen. I've waited over 5 minutes with nothing happening (several times I've tried this). Using the PWR+VolUp+VolDown button combo I'm able to restart the phone and enter recovery. Stock ROM still works.

I've tried wiping caches, to no avail. Any ideas out there?
[Droid RAZR M General] Ahoalton:
Good stuff

This is very helpful. I wish I had known all of this stuff before I started on my M. something I have done that I am not sure will work on all ROMs, so be careful.

For the Eclipse rom, I installed it on a new rom slot, then backed it up. I then restored the Eclipse backup over the stock slot. I would recommend backing up stock first.

P.S. I am not sure if this will work with every rom. Only tried with Eclipse!
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
Sounds like a bad download and/or flash. I would wipe ROM slot 1, re-format and re-install a newly downloaded version of Eclipse.
[Droid RAZR M General] kpsullzz:
So i finally got safestrap 3.11 for M and i was able to backup my Stock slot, then create one on slot 1. When i go to select a zip to install the zip will not show up. I downloaded eclipse twice and it wont install because the zip wont even show up. I cleared everything on stock partition like factory resetand cache, ect. How can i get the zip to show up to install? Thanks in advance guys
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
Hopefully, you didn't wipe system on your stock slot. If you did, you no longer have an OS installed. When you set up a ROM slot, you don't need to wipe stock. You only need to wipe your custom slot. If you wiped stock, you'll need to fast boot back to stock.

If everything is OK, then you can flash Eclipse on ROM slot 1. You have to choose external SD in SS. The zip won't just magically appear.

Sent from my Baked GT-P3113
[Droid RAZR M General] kpsullzz:
No I made sure I didn't wipe stock system partition just factory reset and cleared cache and dalvick sorry. Then I activate slot 1 clear all of that and go to root of SD card and the zip doesn't show. Then I put it in TWRP folder to experiment and still no dice. No idea

Edit. Could it be the SD card? I navigate to device /storage/sdcard1 and it doesn't show anything no folders or anything but if I use es explorer I can navigate to the zip just fine so weird. I even just tried putting a .zip on the end but no go.
[Droid RAZR M General] kpsullzz:
Solved. The two settings that say use internal SD or use external SD I used use internal SD card then went to device/ external SD. Odd but it worked and eclipse magically showed up. Thankyou
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
It's good you figured it out. This was going to be my next suggestion.
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
Yep that's a ss3 known bug. Gotta select external-sd or storage/sdcard1
[Droid RAZR M General] AKG0214:
Can you upload safestrap for droid razr m cuz when i click on the link it says system offline.
[Droid RAZR M General] Dyelon:
I have a question about safestrap:

I just flashed the new 4.1.2 OTA update through fastboot. I was running eclipse in rom slot 1. Now, it seems safestrap and that partition are gone. Is that so? Am I basically just left with the OTA'd stock rom on my entire phone?

That is what I would prefer, but I just want to make sure safestrap or the space it created aren't lurking anywhere
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
If you fastbooted to 4.1.2, then it should have eliminated SS, but there are probably still some folders in there. Just use a file explorer and find any "SS" or "SafeStrap" folders and eliminate them.
[Droid RAZR M General] Dyelon:
Thanks a lot man

[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
We need just a little more information than this. First off, this is how mine looked when my root exploit was complete. Have you rebooted phone to see if it is rooted? Second off, are you running 4.1.1 or 4.1.2. If you are running 4.1.2, you need to use Motochopper. Motochopper is included in Matt's utility version 1.20. 1.20 is designed for anyone that has taken the recent 4.1.2 OTA update.
[Droid RAZR M General] TjSaysЯawЯ:
yes i have and i downloaded root checker and it said i wasnt rooted and im running 4.1.2, ok thank you so much for the info greatly appreciated (sorry for bad spelling if there is some)
[Droid RAZR M General] afrchutch:
Seriously about to throw this phone... I have over 2.7 GB of storage internally and no matter how many apps and vids and pics I delete, I cannot get safestrap.apk to install. See screenies... View attachment 1936072View attachment 1936078

Its starting to piss me off...
[Droid RAZR M General] tolymatev:
Lol sorry to hear that.

Why don't you unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery?
[Droid RAZR M General] afrchutch:
I have, this is post bootloader unlock. when I was on 4.1.1 I had cm 10 on it and ClockworkMod recovery. I took the ota and surprisingly I still have root access but no scripts will work I can't flash recovery I can't even get safestrap to install. bootloader is still unlocked

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

When I was on 4.1 .1 I unlock the bootloader and flashed ClockworkMod recovery and had cm 10 running. I took the ota and since this phone is going crazy I can't run any of the Razr M tools or scripts. I can't flash ClockworkMod again, and safestrap won't even install
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
You can't flash CWM and none of the scripts work? You probably need to solve that, cause that's probably where your problems are coming from. What steps did you follow? To the letter...
[Droid RAZR M General] afrchutch:
I ended up RSDing back to the firmware and now Im trying to re root. I have ADB up and going again and now Im trying to root with motochopper and matts utility and its giving me a bunch of errors about SU and Superuser.apk, etc. I remember these from the first root exploit but cant remember what the solution was...
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
Two things.

First, if you're unlocked, flash CWM or TWRP and then flash a superuser zip. No root exploit required

Second, it looks like you're running it without extracting. Extract the exploit into its own folder, then run it.

When you "run" something inside a zip, you're not actually running it in the zip. It's copied to a temporary directory and run from there. When you do that, none of the extra required files are extracted, so it fails because it can't find them
[Droid RAZR M General] afrchutch:
I alwys though I had to be rooted to flash a custom recovery...
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
Nope. Need to be unlocked. Need root for unlock. But if you lose root, like you did, you're still unlocked unless Motorola breaks the unlock (that's why you never take OTAs without prior confirmation that they're OK.)

So flash custom recovery, flash Superuser/SuperSu, done! Or, if you want a ROM like CM10, just flash it through recovery.
[Droid RAZR M General] afrchutch:
Finally got it rooted, thanks for the help.
[Droid RAZR M General] akaslimboyfat:
Just want to say thanks.. I've been itching to root and run custom ROMs forever and your guide really helped.. just wondering why my safe strap says version 3.11 even tho I went directly to hashcode and downloaded 3.12? Any help?
[Droid RAZR M General] jco23:
mine says the same as well. but really no matter, as I believe the custom ROMs going forward will be flashable via CWM or TWRP.
[Droid RAZR M General] akaslimboyfat:
well i am pretty new to the community and learning how to load and run a custom ROM wasnt easy for me and that was with the ease of boot strap which took me about 2 days to figure due to my limited schedule. Right now Im on the stock ROM due to the camera FC on me in the custom ROM i have loaded
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
You probably got a force close because you were running a ROM with wrong base version. If you updated to 4.1.2, you need to load a 4.1.2 based ROM to slot 1. Otherwise, it won't work correctly because the boot.img is incorrect. The same goes for 4.1.1. If you are running 4.1.1 on stock slot, you need to run 4.1.1 on Slot 1.
[Droid RAZR M General] akaslimboyfat:
I'm currently running the Energy M ROM.. I've tried to research them as much as possible but hard to do with such a tight schedule
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
Well, since you don't have the time to do the appropriate research, then I don't have the time to give you the appropriate help. I will say this, you can't use a 4.1.1 ROM over 4.1.2.
[Droid RAZR M General] akaslimboyfat:
Well I can't find anything on any custom ROM that says 4.1.2 ROM or 4.1.1 ROM.. and like I stated before Im new to this and still learning.. you know the point you were at one day and had to research and ask for help when needed.. I wiped and loaded eclipse and still had the same problem and no where in the post for eclipse did he state what ROM it was for..

I did see on the notes for Energy that it was based from the latest Verizon JB base.. which I'm pretty sure is 4.1.2.. just saying
[Droid RAZR M General] jco23:
look at the posting date.... Energy ROM was initially released March 3rd (with a final revision on March 14th). I believe 4.1.2 was not released until April.
[Droid RAZR M General] akaslimboyfat:
Thank you.. so because I did the new update the versions of energy and eclipse I tried using won't work due to the fact they are based on the pre update version.. so I'm kinda screwed then? Lol
[Droid RAZR M General] tolymatev:
You can flash a 4.1.1 boot.img and you should be fine. (Correct me if im wrong)

I had the same issue. But i didnt flash anything. Ill just wait for updated roms.

Stock is running great for me so far. I do have a backed up cm10 on my sd so i switch it up once in a while.
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
If he's locked he can't just flash the old boot.IMG. That is the quickest way to soft brick.
[Droid RAZR M General] tolymatev:
Obviously he has to be unlocked.
[Droid RAZR M General] L3van:
just curious,after i did all the step in page one,

did my phone bootloader automatically unlocked?
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
Was it already unlocked? If it was unlocked, then no, it won't lock it. If you are unlocked, why are still using SS? It's time for a real recovery my friend.
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
If your phone doesn't look like RikRong's avatar on boot, you're not unlocked.
[Droid RAZR M General] L3van:
i guess it still locked,

now, should i use SS or move onto CWM/TWRP? :confused:
