[Motorola Droid RAZR] nishuthereaper:
Hello Razr people,

I have Chinese Razr maxx with Blur_Version.67.213.6.XT910.ChinaRetail.en.CN.zip OTA installed.

CDT might have been 5. But still I managed to root with a chinese root method.

Everything was fine until I went outside China.

None of the sim cards I tried were working. And in China, apart from China Telecom, everything else was working.

So I thought, maybe I should try the GSM patch with the magic code patch given in XDA in some other thread.

Hence I went into BMM recovery, installed the patch. rebooted the phone.

And it didn't start at all for like 30 minutes. It was stuck with M logo and blinking every now and then.

Hence, I decided to factory reset from stock recovery. Still it's the same.

And now I think I cannot flash it back to JB, as it was an OTA, and there's no firmware for flashing.

as CDT might have gone higher, I can't even go back to ICS.

I am new to all this, but I have spent a lot of time in reading all this info and now I'm stuck wondering what can i do if JB with higher CDT got bricked?

Please Please guys, I really need help with this,

Thank you very very much in advance. I really really appreciate it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anurag.dj2u:
Reflash the Chinese fastboot file using rsd lite and then again apply the ota update.zip and do full wipe /factory reset and wipe caches . It will fix ya razr

Thx

Hit the thx button if i helped ya in anyways
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nishuthereaper:
Thanks. However, I was wondering can I still flash the ICS fastboot after having the JB OTA installed that too with higher CDT?

I still have BMM coming when I boot the phone.

So I am afraid of fastbooting the ICS file and loosing even BMM.

Please let me know what do you think is the best option?

A

1. Flash ICS flastboot of Chinaretail.

2. Upgrade via the zip file of the 4.0.4 OTA

3. Update via zip to ChinaRetail JB 4.1.2

or

B

1. Install a custom rom like AOKP on 2nd rom/system slot (Will it work though?)

Thank you very much.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anurag.dj2u:
In ya case i believe both method are wrong and wont work on ya razr .

For first method :

Just flash the appropriate china fastboot via rsd and then apply jellybean ota.zip from stock recovery .

Ya don't have to flash ics ota.zip ,just fastboot would work to update ya phone to jellybean

Second method :

Ya can't install akop or cm10 unless ya not on jellybean .

So first update ya phone to jellybean and then root (if root exploit is available for Chinese jellybean ) ,

Install ss or bmm ,

Partition and install custom roms on 2nd or 3rd slot

Thx

[Motorola Droid RAZR] nishuthereaper:
Thanks bro. I will do it as soon as my battery is up and will let you know the result.

But really a huge thanks for help.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anurag.dj2u:
Its my pleasure that i helped ya outta ... please do full charge ya battery a if ya going to flash fastboot because battery drainage problem is sucks while flashing

Thx

Hit the thx button if i helped ya in anyways
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nishuthereaper:
Hey man,

Thanks a ton. I got AOKP 4.2.2. JB installed in slot 2 and it's working flawlessly.

However, I cannot access the network provider. So there is no mobile network.

My phone is unlocked.

Another strange thing is that, in the settings menu, the IMEI number is 000000000 ...

Now that is not possible as far as I know.

Any idea as to what I can do to get the network and make phone calls?

Thanks again for all your help. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anurag.dj2u:
I think ya should flash ya region basband . Try to look on forum for Chinese basband

Hit the thx button if i helped ya in anyways
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nishuthereaper:
Hey man, I tried to install the baseband from the previous OTA that was on my phone ... and another Baseband from Chinese JB Fastboot.

However, still no network or no imei.

I am currently in India, so does it mean I will have to find an indian baseband?

Also, AOKP is installed via BMM in rom slot system 2.

Can that be a problem?

I was wondering if I tried to flash with a Chinese JB fastboot via RSDLite, will it flash through properly?

Cause then at least I can send my phone to motorola and ask them about the network issue.

Thanks so much though. Seriously. You are a saviour.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anurag.dj2u:
No ya don't have to flash Asian retail jellybean ota beacause ya are on Chinese kernel ,ya may stuck on fastboot if ya flash Asian retail on ya razr unless ya don't erase ya cid .

I just can't understand why ya getting network issue even after flashing all the baseband. Damn !!

Try to flash Indian baseband it may help ya .

Nah flashing any custom rom on another slot doesn't affect stock slot at all akop or cm10 is not the issue .

Edit : flashing different region kernel and bricking ya phone and send it to service centre wont help ya at all beacsue they ll come to know that ya tried to flash it illegally so ya warranty no more void . As ya saying ya in India and using Chinese xt910 ,service centre ll not accept it so ya need to go back to China and give it there for fix

Thx

Hit the thx button if i helped ya in anyways
[HTC Droid DNA] TheManOfMen:
My brother just flashed his Verizon DNA phone to cricket and was wanting to root..so im trying to find out if it is possible or if by trying it and knowing he would have to do a full wipe of his phone(cache, dalvik, system/data) would that erase the full flash to cricket and be on verizon again??? If thats the case then he's crap outta luck lol but if its possible to root it and keep the flash to cricket i would like to know how. Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] amir77a:
I post it in the General forum, and I think it's relevant here as well.

I was looking all over the net, and I didn't find any internal answering machine utility for the phone edition.

Of course this isn't any cell phone carrier best interest, but this could save some bucks to most of us, instead of using the regular voice mail.

Does anybody knows of any existing software, or any on development?

Maybe one of the programmers here will find it as a good idea for his next utility?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
As far as I've investigated it is impossible to write such an application. Windows disables the audio driver while the call is active, so you cannot play anything to the cell line. Only recording is possible. At least this is true for my Rover S1 (aka AnexTek SP230)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JGUI:
hard to do

not quite: "Windows disables the audio driver"

but only lock the driver.

we can do it only in this way: we have to close/delete the default Phone application and replace all its features in the new one, which will have "answering machine" options too.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] j_metselaars:
Re: hard to do

A program which diables the phone app is pocketnav. It is almost the only app closing the phone app!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
where is the ISO that pops up on my Mac when I plug my phone in located? I'd like to delete it.

Thanks

EDIT:

Found it.

/etc/PCTOOL.iso

bye bye!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] iplayforkeeps:
Happened to me too the first couple times plugged into a PC. It would load a separate drive which resembled an ISO. Hasnt happened tho in the last few days
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
I was getting it every time I plugged my phone in.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] robcorn:
I can't find this file, any other pointers to help find it so I can stop the darn thing from always popping up?

Thanks!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
You need root. Then you use a file manager like root explorer navigate to /etc. Delete the iso
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] blackroseMD1:
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. That was so freaking annoying.

Ok, back to Gin2JellyBean 2.3.0, tried for few days Atomic just to compare the battery usage, and even though I had an impression that in Atomic battery lasted a bit longer while using the ROM, I just simply couldn’t stand the framework and all notification icons being so huge etc etc… (I mean – nothing against this ROM per Se)

Anyways what I did was flashed again Gin2JellyBean BUT this time I formatted /system besides cleaning dalvik and cache… and it looks that ROM is working even better than before I just wiped cache and dalvik without touching system.

I had some problems using Wifi ADB, but I solve it by downloading and updating busybox, looks like now works fine.

Never experienced titanium backup problems or loosing root.

Still there is a problem with cropping picture contacts – cannot be cropped as a square only rectangular – but it’s not big deal.

I am considering to unlock boot-loader, I still have valid guarantee and was considering eventually to sell my ARCS – so I wasn’t touching BL, but it seems that it will go to one of the kids…

Would like to try DoomLord’s kernel v22, but I want to ask if anybody noticed battery use improvement with this kernel? Basically I need good battery management kernel but not to lose performance. Any advice concerning kernels WITH THIS ROM would be much appreciated.

When the phone is not in use the battery lasts very well, but when I’m starting to use it, it goes down pretty quick… I have very low screen brightness, only few Google services syncing, tapatalk, and gReader…

Please DON’T stop to develop this ROM as it is the best thing ever happened to GB MOD community. :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] ervejs:
Thanks, i'll try it ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 81grzes:
Slow down :) I didn't judge Your rom... Just telling that I have a problem with Su binary, Super Su from market can't instal fix - "instalation failed" so I get back to 2.2.2 thats it.

I like Your rom, so will try later fix this buggy SU...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HIGKILLER:
that happened to me, and i got some weird line. And if i flahsed any addon i would get bootloop and no wi-fi ( if i diidnt had a stock gb) i got helped and worked, dont know why we need the stock rom first and that kinda sucks :ss
[Xperia Arc Android Development] cyberz7:
i think this is the best gb rom with jb feels

btw, how to delete cwm that come in gin2jellybean rom ?

i want to use doomlord kernel with his custom cwm

thanks ^^
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pckloss:
Doesn't work with SuperSu neither. Binary udated to 1.30. App asks for root access but without sucsses. I wonder why Superuser (not SuperSU) after binnary update works fine with 2.2.2 and doesn't with 2.3.0?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] RAGman7:
I think you would need to replace file "chargemon" from /system/bin - take some from original GB ROM or i.e Atomic etc,

Delete file "charger" and "recovery.tar" in /system/bin

That should remove CWM... I think

Make back up just in case
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vokal1992:
About Gin2JellyBean 2.4.0

Gin2JellyBean 2.4.0 will not come in form of OTA Update, because there are changes on all .apk's and .jar's, the update would be to big! But I'm still considering the option to make a OTA Update.

Anyway... Just a screenshot:

Edit: Also I removed the odexer from the addons! I do not recomend to odex on this update because everything will be optimized and the odexer may break those optimizations! If you are using a odexed rom it will be deodexed by the OTA Update! Yeah I'll make a OTA Update afterall.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] 81grzes:
Yup, the same happends too me. I was wondering: maybe I am too stupid to fix that, but I see the other's user's have the same situation.

We will wait for update - maybe then we have more luck ;)

thanks.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] prance666:
use doomkernel v22

best kernel with working wifi and cwm

In 2.3 .when phone is off and charging .I cannot get out of charging mode to start my phone ,i must remove charger and power on my phone ?.

Im using LT15i + DooM kernel v22

This was asked before but still doesn't have the answer, so I'm gonna ask again: Can someone please tell us how to get a camera shortcut in the lockscreen instead of the sound shortcut just like the screenshots in the OP?

awesome ROM btw, good job :good:, the battery goes a little bit fast though, could be the kernel (using Lupus GBv1)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] leon22heart:
Does anyone has a problem with the 2.4 version + lupus gb + mount2sd ? In version 2.3 mount2sd was working but when the app was configuring busybox for its needs caused wifi to stop working(more specifically it caused it to endlessly getting ip adress ) .In this version after configuring busybox , ext4 or ext2 partition was not working and also adb connection between pc and phone stops working.So i am guessing that busybox integration might have a little problem in that rom. (done wipes ,reflashes of roms and tft to narrow down to this so i am pretty sure this is the problem)

It is definitely busybox problem.Installing it from play store fixed mounts2sd but i still do not have adb connection (maybe something with my drivers ? Will try later and report)

[Xperia Arc Android Development] RAGman7:
I had a problems with Wifi ADB on 2.3.0, it was just working wacky, (no problesm on 2.2.2) after connecting and transferring suddenly it would freeze and had to reset the connection, I installed some busybox from Google Play Store and it would solve the problem.

On 2.4.0 I also experience the some problems with wifi ADB, so far Im trying to see how to solve it, installing new busybox didn't help, will see and report what and how... maybe different kernel? dont know Im on lupus right now which seems to work great...

I'm using Total Commender with ADB plugin, which normally works great...

EDITED: I installed different BusyBox by Stephen (Stericson), then did run clean smart re-install, restarted the phone and it looks like ADB wifi is working just fine... no more freezes etc...

Yes I agree that quoting the whole OP just to ask simple question is just plain mean... for all of us like me who use tapatalk it is a pain in the butt having to scroll through the page as it freezes and loads slowly, dude should edit the post and remove the whole OP quote...
[Xperia Arc Android Development] pckloss:
Great job Vokal! Installed v. 2.4.0. Everything works fine (titanium backup as well) so far. Your ROM is visually perfect!! I didn't expect somebody would make old GB so much visually similar to JB with so many new functionalities to old GB. Thank you for your job !!! :good:
[Xperia Arc Android Development] leon22heart:
Yes forgot to mention that simple busybox install wont work ,needs smart install.More likely some applet is not linked correctly at rom install.Also i noticed that sony adb drivers have some problem with this rom, need the google adb testing interface drivers.
[Xperia Arc Android Development] HIGKILLER:
ok, i will be aware
[Xperia Arc Android Development] Alisoofi:
Dear developer:

it's a nice Rom specially the setting,interface and fonts.

there is only two problem for me:

1-the launcher (but i replaced it with GX launcher :) )

2-icons : i dont like these aosp icons.i prefer sony ICS stock icons.

can you provide a patch for replacing icons?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] neo2k12:
I'd love to see the Stock Xperia Z status bar icons. Don't like the blue ones. ;)
[Xperia Arc Android Development] vokal1992:
Man... this again... if the rom was meant to be like stock rom it would have those icons, etc...

Tell me how much roms have that look? Mine is meant to be different.

I'm not flaming no one, but if you want a stock look then this rom is not for you. Don't get it me wrong, I know you didn't say for me to do it, but it was kinda a pointless suggestion due to this rom achievement is to have AOSP look :p
