[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
I’m wondering if there is a tool or a mod that I can use to change how the notification LED lights up, specifically to increase the blink rate or increase the switched on time of a blink cycle. The tiny LED buried inside the ear piece grill and the way it blinks makes noticing missed alerts almost impossible unless you look at it very carefully. Ideally I would like for it to blink rapidly or the have the LED lit up for a little longer in each blink cycle, I know this can affect the battery, so it would be nice if the behavior can be customized further i.e Have intensive blinking for the first 30 minutes and then fall back to the regular conservative mode to save battery.

A better alternative would be to use the capacitive buttons (back, home, menu) without turning the screen on. My previous Galaxy S1 had a mod which could do that, wondering if there is something similar for One X. If those buttons can be selectively turned on then I guess that would be more prominent than that tiny green LED.

Flash CM10.1 or ICJ to get button light notification.
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
Latest XM kernels also include BLN (backlight notification). It's fully cofigurable, including the light level. :good:

Plus, it has all the governor tweaks you can think of. :cool:
[HTC One X] Maher88:
I Don't know if there's a standalone tool for this

but I use CM 10.1 ROM that comes with this tool included

anyway the control is limited to 2 colors (red and green) and 2 speeds , or you can use it to disable the whole light

and still be able to use hardware keys backlight as a notification light
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
Thanks for the replies. :good:

Currently I’m on Viper X custom ROM. Last year I installed CM10 but wasn't impressed with battery life or camera performance.

Interesting, perhaps I'll try that, seems XM supports Sense ROMs and I found few posts where people have managed to get it working with Viper X. I'm guessing if I managed to get XM kernel working, all I have to do is use BLN app from market ?
[HTC One X] pirecrompir:
i think there is a tool for this: light flow app.

i haven't tried it on my hox yet, but i had limited success with it on my desire. htcs are notorious for terrible led notification control and configuration, i think. on my huawei ideos i had it configured exactly how i wanted it, but this is probably impossible on an htc :rolleyes:... actually i found this thread when searching for a solution how to manage my own led problems. but according to the discussion here there is no solution :mad:.
[HTC One X] Vcek:
viper x works well with xm kernel without a repack, and bln works without any app, just enable it as instructed by xm
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] amitelad:
I can imagine how annoying this can be,

silly questions and such,

I have a t-mobile phone (pw10a1),

and I was wondering which rom to cook,

or whether I can use the one posted here?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Qman:
Since its a T-Mobile I'd go with ROM 4.00.16.

HTH
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] MrDollyMaker:
I'm using the ROM version 4.00.16(T-Mobile) with T-Mobile's newest radio stack 6.24.00.

Been the best this phone has ever worked! No more dropped calls, no more much of any problems! :D
[RAZR HD General] an21281:
I just want to let everyone know that it is possible to go back to ICS after updating to 4.1.2(9.16.6) I was rooted on 4.1.1 today, used ota root keeper to temp unroot and update to 4.1.2 and restore root. I just used Matts RazrHD utility 1.10 and went back to ICS 4.0.4 with no problems what so ever...

Im not sure why its stated that once you update to the newest release that you cannot go back, but its possible. So for everyone that wants to try out 4.1.2 and didnt want to be stuck, you can downgrade.

Hope this helps.

Also for everyone willing to try to downgrade please post results and type of phone you have, also the way you downgraded...

Device: Razr HD XT926 US Verizon non dev ed.

Original firmware 4.0.4(0.6.25)

Used RazrHD Utility 1.10 to downgrade

UPDATE: 3/21

I tried to downgrade again so I can post screen shots for everyone, and it did not work this time!!! Something must have changed/sync'd with my phone since the last time I downgraded that did not sync the first time. This has been a strange experience, but I would not have posted if I really did not have success the first time! It now gives errors, and I have tried everything I could imagine. My phone is not bricked and I am still rooted and have SS.
[RAZR HD General] lesdense:
Preserving the option to downgrade to ICS is certainly important to me. Please, what phone do you have and from what country is your carrier (and thus, presumably, your version of stock ICS)?
[RAZR HD General] an21281:
XT926 Verizon US non dev edition, ICS 4.0.4 (0.6.25)

I will add it to the OP
[RAZR HD General] lesdense:
OK ... I've got to know. Why did you leave 9.1.2 immediately after upgrading to it? The knowledge that downgrading back to 4.0.4 from 4.1.2 is certainly valuable, but knowing what prompted you to upgrade and then so quickly downgrade would be valuable to know as well. Did the upgrade go smoothly? Did the upgrade not function as expected?
[RAZR HD General] an21281:
No it was fine... I had some weird problems with data switching, from wifi to mobile... Sometimes it wouldn't switch back to mobile after turning off wifi but that was only a couple of times. I really just wanted to see if it was possible to downgrade and was willing to do it even though I could of been stuck without a phone. I also like to start fresh by downgrading and wiping/formatting my sd card every month or so. Im back on 4.1.1 now and will probably go to 4.1.2 soon on my stock slot either way.
[RAZR HD General] mattlgroff:
What I did was Remote into a DROID RAZR HD owner's computer and flash the ICS boot.img file through fastboot. It failed pre-flash validation so I flashed to new boot.img back on there and considered it a case closed.

If it works to go back by using the Utility, thats great news. However I am not going to remove the warning until I get more than just one confirmation on it.
[RAZR HD General] cc823:
great news thx:D
[RAZR HD General] Mystique5022:
I have JB 4.1.2 now and using Matt's tool, I can't seem to get it to downgrade. It will run through the process, then it will just boot up into 4.1.2 again. It gets a couple failed things along the way.
[RAZR HD General] lesdense:
Because I'm still weighing whether to upgrade to 4.1.2 can you tell me -- did you get 4.1.2 OTA or did you flash a file? If you did a "manual" upgrade, how is the experience? Problems? Anything not working, or not working right?
[RAZR HD General] an21281:
Ota, everything went fine during the upgrade. Just make sure if you are rooted to activate stock slot and wipe all other slots. I also restored a backup of stock jb 4.1.1 I made a week ago with all apps updated and working. Then just booted up and temp unrooted with ota root keeper and accepted the ota. Restored root after it booted. Only thing that was different from other updates is that safe strap did not work afterwards so I had to uninstall and reinstall.

I don't see much improvement, but I just got back to 4.1.2 late last night after downgrading so that's not much time to tell if the improvements are there. I have not tried HDMI out yet,but will later today.

If anyone else tries to downgrade to stock 4.0.4 ICS from this latest update 4.1.2, please post what type of phone you have and if it worked for you. Any problems...???
[RAZR HD General] koftheworld:
You don't have to wipe your rom slots.just go back to stock slot take the ota and then reinstall safestrap recovery (not the program).your roms will still be there and functional.
[RAZR HD General] lesdense:
Don't know how I've missed all this "stock slot, rom slots" business. I've rooted Android phones and tablets, installed custom ROMs, I've still a noob but learning. Does "slots" refer to all that sdcard0, sdcard1, usbdisk_1.0 business in /storage? I don't think I'd seen that on any of my devices until I got my Maxx HD with 4.1.1. Or are slots part of SafeStrap (I have that too but only because it was on my phone when I bought it on eBay)? Upgrading to 4.1.2 sounds like it goes smoothly if you do it right and is a pain if you don't. Sure would appreciate a little guidance that's specific to this set of tasks.
[RAZR HD General] Mystique5022:
Well I feel like an idiot. I got the leaked 4.1.2 and now it's literally impossible to downgrade. I hadn't installed any bootloaders/roots/ or anything before doing this, so now that my phone is 4.1.2, it's basically stuck there.

I've tried hours and hours of everything. If anyone has any idea on how to bypass this I'd be grateful.
[RAZR HD General] an21281:
Not sure why it wont work for you, but Im going to downgrade again and post up screen shots and a vid. also. Just waiting for my phone to charge.
[RAZR HD General] Mystique5022:
only ocigrarn

Did you do this procedure from stock? I tried from 100% stock. No unlocked bootloader, no root, nothing. I'm also using a Verizon Phone.
[RAZR HD General] thewahlrus:
No you cant.
[RAZR HD General] an21281:
I downgraded successfully yesterday, so I reported my experience... I have no reason to lie, otherwise I would not have posted this in the first place!

I had some problems with my comp. and the usb/moto drivers on win7 today so I was trying to fix that before I could try again. I attempted to downgrade/restore to ICS again and this time it did not work! I cant see how it worked for me yesterday and today it wont? I was so happy when it worked, but something must have changed within the last day which is odd. I always upgrade and root the same way, and I have tried everything today to get it to downgrade with no luck. My phone still works so it is not bricked, and I apologize to everyone, like I said it did downgrade yesterday with the RazrHD utility 1.10 and there were no errors what so ever. Now after it asks you to hit any key once the phone comes back on in FB errors come right up. Some things seem to flash though, which is strange and basically it does a factory reset on the 4.1.2 . SS is still installed, its still rooted, and works fine. I can even restore back up of 4.1.1 stock jb(which I made last night after I downgraded to ICS and was upgrading again) on stock slot after wiping data/cache/dalvic and system and boot up to show 4.1.1 and then either try to downgrade, which fails, or take the ota and/or flash 4.1.2 manually but it fails also. Then I just reflash a back up of 4.1.2 and its fine IDK... I also flashed Vit 1.9.3 on stock slot fine, boots etc. but still wont let me downgrade. Then I tried uninstalling all updated apps on 4.1.2 and clearing data on all apps, still nothing.

So for some reason it let me successfully downgrade yesterday, but not anymore. So like many people have said do not try until there's a safe way, unless you are willing to risk bricking.

Do you think there will be another method to go back to 4.0.4 or maybe a JB 4.1.2 root/bootloader unlock any time in the near future? I made the foolish mistake of taking the update :(

Nope. You can certainly go add to the Bootloader Unlock bounty though.

I attempted to downgrade earlier today after multiple failed upgrades. I ended up hard bricking my razr HD. Im only 17 and theres no way for me to get a new phone. FML
[RAZR HD General] mattlgroff:
Still have fastboot mode?
[RAZR HD General] DVDDave:
Matt can you make a utility for the people like the one above who do not know how to use RSDLITE ?? I know how to use it but the poor person above doesn't seem to know and there are probably others....he probably doesn't even know what fastboot mode is???
[RAZR HD General] Mystique5022:
Asssuming you are able to get into Fastboot (While the phone is off, press and hold vol +, vol -, and power until it asks, volume - to Fastboot mode, then volume + to select it, then plug the phone in VIA USB, install and load the RSDLite file in Matt's comment, as well as the Firmware which is also there, and then unzip the folder. Once this is done, go into RSD Lite and click on the "..." dialog then select the XML that you extracted in the firmware folder. Once that's done, you should be able to click Start and it will hopefully fix your phone.

Good luck.
[RAZR HD General] Mitalis:
Do you think there would be any issues in trying to downgrade back to 4.1.1? I have the stock rom backed up through safestrap. I haven't taken the new OTA yet.

I wanted to keep 4.1.1 handy to fall back on should I need to use Matt’s tool to downgrade to ICS.
[RAZR HD General] jestermx6:
If you're talking via Fasboot and RSD Lite, no. After being on 4.1.2, the system prohibits you from downgrading, giving you an error about downgrading to an older version.

I'm not sure how that may or may not be affected by running safestrap though. I would think that, as long as you can get back into safestrap, you can have both your custom rom, and 4.1.2 on. The problem comes in when you have to actually Fastboot flash the phone to 4.1.2 and cannot flash back to 4.1.1 or earlier.
[RAZR HD General] brian_199:
If I flash this, will I lose my root privileges?

[RAZR HD General] kep1a:
Anything lost with either 4.1.1 or 4.1.2

I have a Razr Maxx HD on ICS 4.0.4 and have it rooted. I like how it operates for the most part with some tweaks that is. I have the Voodoo OTA root keeper and titanium pro back up of what I have now.

I want to get either the 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 OTA update keep my root as well as the things I mentioned below. Are there any negatives to the upgrade while using Voodoo OTA root keeper? Are the improvements worth it?

I tried most of the WIFI apps and did not like the speed or reliability of connections so I did the edit to the "subscription check" and use the OEM WIFI tether with great results. Will this still work? can I edit it to work if it doesn't?

I lost voice search with the roll back to 4.0.4 and had to do the "Velvet-theos0o-5.apk" fix to get it working again. It has no google search box anymore and is a little buggy but hey it works. Do I need to undo this first? I saved the original GoogleQuickSearchBox as a .bak in the same location.

I use USB tethering the most and like the EasyTether pro app. Will this app still work?

Problems with RSD Lite.

Tried to reflash mine to 4.1.2, and RSD lite will not see the device. It shows during fastboot usb connected, and disconnected if I pull the cable, but the device is never found in the program. But it also says the device is locked. Am I doing something wrong?

On Verizon
[RAZR HD General] truedis:
Is there something that will work in place of RSD Lite on a Mac?

Also, amazing that Moto still is releasing un-rootable updates despite the fact that GOOG owns them now. I figured GOOG would've put a stop to this nonsense, but alas, no...
[RAZR HD General] newmanx4:
Things to try are using a different USB port on the PC or a different version of RSD.
[RAZR HD General] mattlgroff:
Fixing root exploits is a good thing in most cases.. security flaws are bad. Someone could write a malicious app to take use of an exploit and steal your information or cause other harm to your device. Google does not leave exploits in...
[RAZR HD General] truedis:
Yeah, good point ... I guess unlocking the bootloader would solve our problems, though, huh?
[RAZR HD General] mattlgroff:
Indeed.
[RAZR HD General] truedis:
So I have my device back, freshly repaired from Moto and apparently wiped/upgraded to 9.16.6 / 4.1.2. I don't see much harm in being a guinea pig to try to revert back to 4.0.4 so I can root since I haven't activated it yet and really don't want to until I can root it. I'll just send it back to Moto if I brick it. Is it worth a shot, or am I just wasting my time?
[RAZR HD General] newmanx4:
If it's on 4.1.2 you'd be wasting your time.
[RAZR HD General] truedis:
Yeah, just noticed the OP said he couldn't recreate the results. Well, I'm a willing guinea pig for testing any methods that are in the works to downgrade/root 4.1.2!
[RAZR HD General] erj-drvr:
The OTA updates on my XT926 keep failing when the phone reboots...I have been using Rom Slot #1 vs the the Stock Rom Slot. Could this be the reason for the failure?

I took this statement from the SafeStrap user guide literally "DON’T RESTORE A CUSTOM ROM-SLOT BACKUP TO THE STOCK ROM. THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BRICK YOUR PHONE".
[RAZR HD General] KachowPow:
I've read through this thread and one of the things that I have noticed other than obvious that the Droid Razr Utility 1.10 is not working, or at least not for me. But, what is and I didn't see this mentioned, I am able to jump back and forth between stock rom backups in Safestrap V3.12 between 4.1.2 and 4.1.1, and vice versa. Once back at 4.1.1, I can get back to 4.0.4. Has anyone else tried this and could this perhaps be part of that missing link?
[RAZR HD General] koftheworld:
The only issue I see with that is that you're already rooted. It makes sense that you can restore via backup. If someone isn't rooted there isn't a mechanism to do that...hmmm

I wonder if there could be a way to pause the boot process if hooked up to the computer, then push and boot safestrap. You can already send commands via adb from the computer, so I wonder if a script to reboot, pause, push could work. Now I wish I had kept up my programing skills after my college Java class ten years ago lol
[RAZR HD General] erj-drvr:
So your saying that you can Boot into any of your Stock Rom backups....your getting back to 4.0.4 in which Rom Slot....#1 etc or the Stock Slot?
[RAZR HD General] KachowPow:
I think you are on to something with this, I certainly do not have the skills to do much of what you said. But what I did notice about a week or so ago, is that I upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2, (the OTA does not work for me) in which I lost Root entirely (while using a 4.1.2 backup,) which I then rebooted and noticed that Safestrap was still there, was able to restore a backup of 4.1.2 and kept Root with that backup. One of the other things that I did is I didn't wipe anything, maybe that is a minor point but just wanted to note it.

This was all done through the Stock Slot.
[RAZR HD General] mattlgroff:
Flashing ROM's in Safestrap is not the same as flashing partition files through fastboot.
[RAZR HD General] koftheworld:
Yes but if you could interrupt the boot process artificially then install/use safestrap...
[RAZR HD General] KachowPow:
I certainly do understand that. But at the same time I do have to ask, is it being explored if Safestrap backups, could be used to restore Root. I mean if there is a way to do what koftheworld mentioned, where Safestrap was push installed with a Rooted backup of 4.1.2, or 4.1.1, or 4.0.4, could this be a possibility?
[RAZR HD General] gps4213:
I hope this is not too off topic but are there any 4.1.2 roms (Not stock) that can be flashed that don't have this lack of downgrade ability?
[RAZR HD General] mattlgroff:
Safestrap backups do not include partitions because of the locked Bootloader. You cannot downgrade with any current methods because of the locked bootloader. I've been in this game a while and unlocking is the only way. Unfortunately there is no way to unlock as far as I know ;)
[RAZR HD General] koftheworld:

[RAZR HD General] an21281:
Do you mean with an unlocked bootloader? If so it is now possible to do whatever you please. With a locked bootloader of course you still can't downgrade from 4.1.2. If you have root though you can unlock and downgrade...
[RAZR HD General] DVDDave:
two questions.....

1---if the bootloader is unlocked and you are on 4.1.2 can you just use Matt's 1.10 Utility to go back to 4.04 ??

2---if you get the error logo when booting up after unlocking, how does it finally boot?? Do you just wat and it normally boots or do you have to press any keys ??
[RAZR HD General] an21281:
Yes you can use the utility once you are unlocked to downgrade from 4.1.2 to ICS.

Once you unlock there should be no errors it will boot into bootloader and say status unlocked code 3 or something like that... Then just unplug and press power.

I would never want to go back to an earlier version of Android after enjoying JB 4.2 on the Nexus. I'm just hoping that the next OTA does not break root for good on this phone. Don't understand why Motorola is still so protective of their bootloader now that they are owned by Google.

Hello Mr. Moto Matt

I know you probably get hundreds if not thousands of questions about our issues and I just wanted to say thanks for all of your help Matt, and I'm sure I'm speaking for a lot of XDA members and other forum members as well. With that said, I know this is an old thread but I'm working on a friends Photon Q 4.1.2 that he wants to flash over to Page Plus. The problem is in order for me to read the SPC/MSL with the Photon-Q MSL (.bat file) Tool, it has to be on Android 4.0.4 or lower. So far I've been able to unlock the bootloader, root and install a custom recovery, so my question is if I flash a custom ICS Rom Via TWRP Recovery will I screw anything up? If not will I then be able to run the the .bat file (MSL Tool)? Thanks, in advance, for any help you can provide me with.
