I would use the utility but my last night my phone automatically installed the the 4.1.2 update so I had to reroot and I read the instructions of the utility but it doesn't seem to have the option just to flash twrp.

[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
It does.
[Droid RAZR M General] skuppej:
thanks worked perfectly.

+1 on the twrp v2.3.2.3
[Droid RAZR M General] arc1880:
So by doing this method of unlocking the bootloader, we will be able to flash custom ROMs with TWRP/ClockworkMod? Pardon my newbie-ness.
[Droid RAZR M General] Coronado is dead:
This may be a really silly question, but...

If I unlock my device, do I have to install TWRP or CWM? I know they are needed for custom roms, but I kind of want to unlock but stay stock for now. I might do a custom rom in the future, but I don;t see one that makes me want to switch from stock just yet.

Thanks!
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
No you don't need to. Probably a good idea tho cause you can do stuff like nandroid backups and other stuff not in stock recovery, but you don't have to
[Droid RAZR M General] tolymatev:
You can install the recovery and not install a ROM. Keep it stock.

Like the user said above it is good to have the custom recovery because it does let you back up ur device.
[Droid RAZR M General] Coronado is dead:
I use safestrap right now and it lets me back up the stock slot without being unlocked though. I suppose that is based off TWRP though.
[Droid RAZR M General] PantherVT:
You can retain the stock recovery with an unlocked bootloader.
[Droid RAZR M General] Coronado is dead:
Will flashing the 4.1.2 stock image restore the original recovery (I know it will not relock)?
[Droid RAZR M General] PantherVT:
You can RSD back to stock 4.1.2 or use matt's utility to get your stock recovery back.
[Droid RAZR M General] jco23:
apparently, you have not tried the Energy ROM - give it a whirl....
[Droid RAZR M General] chelsea_fc:
With TWRP can i get pass BP Tools ?, with safestrap cant get to pass (have to delete safestrap)
[Droid RAZR M General] jco23:
curious to see if anyone else has noticed dramatically improved battery performance since unlocking the bootloader?

I have not install a custom recovery yet, and I doubt that my battery life is tied in anyway to the bootloader status.

for example, normally, after about 5 hours, my phone is at ~82% on mobile data. today, it is at 90% with similar usage.
[Droid RAZR M General] alwaysbelieve1:
How do you do that exactly?

---------- Post added at 07:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

I tried these unlocking methods twice and my phone STILL says it is locked. I am rooted and have SS installed. My ROM, Energy, is flashed to the stock slot. What do I need to do? Thx!
[Droid RAZR M General] jco23:
Worked for me, and my phone was setup the same way. Be sure to read Dan Rosenberg's instructions.
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
When you are running the unlock exploit, turn your screen on and see if you're getting a pop up for superuser asking to grant root access to adb shell. I ran the exploit four times, before realizing that this pop up was there. After I granted access, everything was good.
[Droid RAZR M General] alwaysbelieve1:
I did… Several times…… And I also read this entire thread from cover to cover.

Excellent I will try that! I appreciate your help and never thought about doing that before because I didn't want to touch the phone and interrupt anything he could potentially be doing. I did notice that the screen would flash on and then of course timeout after 30 seconds and shut back off.

No you dont have to and can always install either one when you're ready to flash a ROM or make a nandroid backup.
[Droid RAZR M General] alwaysbelieve1:
Ok got the unlock to work finally THANKS TO YOUR HELP!! :) These instructions should be in the OP for others.

Now I cannot seem to get a custom recovery to flash. I have it in the same directory as the unlock tool and have a command prompt there. I copy in the following: fastboot flash recovery twrp2.4-recovery-scorpion_mini.img

It tells me that:

'fastboot' is not recognized as

operable program or batch file.

What do I need to do? Thank you so much! I very, very much appreciate your help!! :)
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
I wouldn't use 2.4, it's extremely buggy. I would use TWRP 2.3.2.3 or whatever. I think the recovery flash tool that was posted in this forum had 2.4 changed out for 2.3. You might be getting the error because it's no longer 2.4. To make things easy, use this thread: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/6444-installing-a-custom-recovery/

Don't use the Goo.im method, use the Fastboot method posted further down in the OP.
[Droid RAZR M General] cellzealot:
He is getting that error because he doesn't have the fastboot binary and dll files in the same directory as the recovery image.
[Droid RAZR M General] alwaysbelieve1:
Well then what do I need to do so that I have that? What is that exactly?

I followed the instructions and have the unlocking tool in the same directory on my computer as the custom recovery is. Then I opened up a command box and copied in that info.

I would download and extract the recovery to it's own folder. Make sure you are extracting, before running command prompt. Make sure you are shift+right clicking in that folder. I would also type the command, not copy and paste it.

i had jellybam, and it had the pie control feature, so i turned it on to try it out and my navigation bar was gone. So, i wiped everything out and reflashed the jellybam and i noticed when i reflashed the jellybam, it was draining so fast. so i went back to the stock rom (back up) and it was still draning

so i searched here why it was draining and I THINK i saw some MODIFICATIONS i had to code so it can go back but i didnt do that cause im a noob.

i got the new rom called xylon and it still drains

any idea why its draining and how i can fix it?

THANKS!

set up your device better, take control of your apps, and use less background notifications and apps that work in the background.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
Use this app for a few hours to find the source that is causing the drain:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...MsImNvbS51enVtYXBwcy53YWtlbG9ja2RldGVjdG9yIl0.

Find the app and hibernate them from draining your battery

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nibunnoichi:
This is a very strange problem I'm experiencing on my S3 (Verizon, 4.1.2 stock rom, rooted)

I have set up a pattern lock screen in my Security settings. When the display has been off for the 1 minute, the pattern lock screen protects the phone on the next wake. However, I also have a home screen widget (via Widgetsoid) to quickly enable/disable the Lock Screen. So for example, I turn off the lock screen when I'm driving or at home, and enable it when I'm in public. Normally this mechanism works just fine.

The problem is, when the lock screen is "Disabled", and I get a notification (such as incoming text), and I pull down my notification screen and then to click on the new notification, this immediately pops up my pattern lock screen. (even though it's supposed to be disabled).

This is not a problem specific Widgetsoid. There are other apps that also has the ability to toggle the lock screen (such as Tasker), and this behavior also happens when I use other means to temporarily disable the lock screen.

Note that this notification-triggers-lock behavior doesn't happen when the Lock Screen is enabled.

I have searched around for any thread that might show something related to this issue, but found nothing that matches the behavior I'm experiencing. Has anyone else experienced something like this, or have an idea of what might be going on here?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Skeleton:
I have the exact same problem on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2. We can thus conclude it is not device specific.

I am running native Android, 4.1.2. I think this is an Android bug.

Same problem on Nexus 7 (Android 4.2.2).

I've also searched on several occasions but haven't yet worked out what's going on or how to work around it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] netarc:
I can confirm I've had this same issue on both Android 4.1 (stock HTC One) and 4.2 (rooted Galaxy SII skyrocket), when used with the "No Lock" app. When locking is disabled, clicking any notification item results in the lock screen being displayed; when locking is ENabled, no issues. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sfetaz:
I have this problem when I click a notification in the notification bar, and I know in my case its due to secure settings turning on patern lock for me.

Ok, the title doesn't explain what I want so, let's go:

First, if anyone could just teach me, I'll be very happy :)

So, on stock eclair Rom, is possible to have a Reboot button in the options menu (where has airplane, profile, shutdown.) I wanna to add a reboot button, like custom froyo and gingerbread roms. Is possible to do this? And if yes, have a way to put options in the reboot, like to reboot normally or in recovery or even bootloader?

For now on, thanks.

I agree to the guy above me here.

As long as you don't download apps via unofficial ways, and other files from non-100% safe or legit websites, everyone should be fine.

I personally have Antivirus bij AVGMobilation, but I only use it to auto-scan a file when it's downloaded (and in case of apps, auto-scan before install).

You dont need antivirus. You should get android firewall and ad away instead. Theres so many apps that show annoying ads and drains your internet speed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] geetarplayer:
Are different modem versions meant for different geographic areas, or are later version numbers (and letters) meant to indicate an improved modem? I've read in other threads that they are geography-specific, but that leads to 2 questions.

1) Why wouldn't there be some reference somewhere that documents the version/location association?

2) Why do people gravitate toward more recently released versions? This tends to make me think later version numbers are improved modems.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
The modem is numbered the same as the firmware it was released in. The fact that modems work differently in different areas is based on observation by multiple people and is the generally accepted understanding in these forums. But there is no correlation between modem designations and geographic areas. There was an attempt to collect and tabulate that information for the sgh-i777 in the modem thread, with an interactive google map that people could post their experience on. In my opinion it was a failure, and was later removed. The latest modems are not necessarily the best. You can only find the best modem for you by trial and error.
