Hours of video comparable to HTC in spite of 15% larger battery, and that's at 50% brightness...At the same brightness (e.g. 300cd/m²) the HTC One pulls ahead by a good margin.

Try to charge your two internal batteries during the night without waking up middle of the night to change batteries?

With an external battery, you can charge both in one go during the night, you are always ready to go, no need for them to take turns or purchase an extra battery dock.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Trentors:
Yes it protects the battery from unnecessary cycles and keeps the battery cooler but this will still not prevent the battery from deteriorating. As soon as the battery leaves the factory it will start to loose capacity. Used or not.

Hi all,

I tried searching for this everywhere and couldn't get an answer. Is there a 4.2 camera with Photosphere included that allows saving to the external SD card? I figured it didn't work since it came straight from Nexus devices which don't have expandable storage, but is there anyway anyone can mod the Photosphere camera to include storing in the SD card?

No there is not you can have one or the other

[Motorola Droid Bionic] CycoPuppet:
I had another thread about rooting my Bionic and I was getting help. I did have more questions and was hoping that as the process went on, I would get answers. I guess it just kinda died since no one is answering my last questions. If anyone wants to check it out, it's in this section and the only one I have posted.

Anyway, the main question I have, and I figured it would be better to start it's own topic, is about updating to JB on a rooted phone. I have read many threads and lots of people either messed up root or bricked and had to start over. I guess it's not so much a question, more like directions on doing it properly. Like I said, I have read posts with instructions and a bunch of people chime in saying they did everything but still lost root. So there could be something unclear in those instructions and I don't want to take a chance. I will tell you what I have so far and what I have done.

I rooted my phone using this method

http://droidbionicroot.com/droid-bionic-root/how-to-root-ics-on-droid-bionic-and-motorola-android/

The root process I used gave me SuperSU and didn't tell me the version for the SU binaries. I searched around and all I could find was info on SuperUser in regards to backing up root. I uninstalled SuperSU, kinda. I just told it to use a different SU cuz when I used SuperUser and updated the binaries, SuperSU wanted to update them, then I opened SuperUser and the binaries reverted back. I was worried so I just told SuperSU to use a different SU. Was that ok?

SuperSU is no longer there, just disappeared. SuperUser is still on my phone.

Got safestrap tho still not updated to 3.11, got TBU (free), got Voodoo.

I have not made a backup with TBU.

I did do protect root with Voodoo but that was a week or so ago.

I have not made any major changes. BUT, I do have Hide It Pro and the apps I have hidden appear in TBU as frozen. Well at least it is highlighted and the option defrost is there.

So yeah, I want to make sure I update correctly. And I know some of you will either think or actually post that I should search. I assure you that I have. I just want to make sure it's not the instructions and it's just the person's mistake for not following instructions. I did see a post that had a bunch of people saying it didn't work and then 3 pages in a person said "oh you were supposed to do that" which was never made clear.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MoodSwinger:
Don't be afraid....

The worst that can happen is you brick your phone and have to redo EVERYTHING. And chances are that won't happen if you're considering this and have done things in the past.

I only keep one SU app on my phone, but I have heard about being careful if you do have more than one not to confuse the binaries, so maybe if you can uninstall one and just use the one you kept to do everything, I'd say do that, but again I don't know.

I would also be careful about anything frozen especially if it's a system app or bloatware in the system...

See my other thread [Trifecta] Jelly Bean Update...I had all kinds of issues and made it thru, I'm sure you could too.

Cheers.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CycoPuppet:
Ok, but what exactly do I do? I haven't modded anything, just rooted and "froze" apps. I know that after reading that I should take my phone back to where I had it right after root with no changes. Like I said, my phone has no mods and nothing has really changed. So what is the best way to update and keep root? Only reason I want to keep root is because it was easy and I don't want to do it again but more complicated (don't know Linux) If someone wants to type it out, step by step, or link to instructions that you followed exactly and succeeded in updating and keeping root, please do so.

As far as the GSM hack, not sure if I really need that.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] MoodSwinger:
Sorry....wasn't leaving you hanging...

You can try an app called OTA RootKeeper by Voodoo, it seems to work most of the time. But from what I understand once you start the update to JB even if it fails you can't go back. So if you update and lose root...

Go HERE

Read thru it, then follow the links to all info, tools & instructions.

Cheers.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CycoPuppet:
Thanks. Hopefully everything goes ok with the update. I really don't want to spend a day learning and updating programs I never used. But if the update fails I guess I have no choice. I will wait till I know I have time, probably this weekend.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Ratamacue:
I was chiming in for what little help I could offer on your other thread, and then I ran into an unexpected glitch myself. You can read all about it here. Basically, if you do an FDR for any reason on the stock ROM in SafeStrap, you are probably going to run into problems. It's happening to a ton of other people.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] johnlgalt:
You were trying to use two different superuser apps (superuser and SuperSu) to control the su binary - each comes with its own binary, so when you used one to update su, then the other is naturally going to complain.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ian_mcxa:
Clean Install

I highly suggest that before you try anything, you make a backup of your device with TBU and then copy the TBU file to your PC.

From what i've heard the cleanest way to keep root and get to JB is to backup everything, flash the ICS fxz, root, backup root with Voodoo and then take the ota update. This should put your phone on stock rooted JB. From there you can download TBU and restore your apps and data.

This is a bit excessive but it should in theory fix any issues that could arise from having frozen apps or otherwise changed the system.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Ratamacue:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FXZ TO 246 ICS NOW. You've already updated to JB, and you will brick your phone if you attempt to go back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TotallyAGG:
Hello,

I had a rooted verizon galaxy s3 (CM10) and I recently got stuck in a boot loop. So I connected to Odin and flashed both MD5 files and the root66.tar file, booted into recovery and tried to do a factory reset.

The problem is my power button won't work in recovery mode, so I can not select anything in the menu. The volume buttons work I just cant select anything.

I've searched all over for 2 days now and I can't find anything about my problem, am I screwed or is there something I haven't thought of yet?

Thanks preemptively for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TotallyAGG:
bump please help
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Maybe possible to send commands to phone via adb?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ramdesai:
Which recovery you are using? Try twrp which recognises touch so no need of power button to select any option. I think class cwm also has touch based recovery.

Thanks doesn't hurt....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TotallyAGG:
Thanks for the replies, I tried to run adb but just runs a lot of code then closes out. I tried to re-download and the same thing happened.

I was using the stock.vzw.root66.tar and BOOTLOADER_I535VRALF2.... I flashed them many times and nothing has changed it still just gets stuck on the 4G LTE screen. Where would I go about finding the recovery files you mentioned? I'm willing to try anything at this point.

Thanks again for the replies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
If it's stuck at the LTE logo, boot into recovery and factory reset.

Edit: to Odin flash CWM or TWRP, you can find both files in Open1your1eyes0's root thread in the dev section. Use either once you're rooted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Surge1223:
If you just want this to be fixed quickly, you could always flash a Full-wipe rom that contains the bootloader, etc. Then after your back in the stock rom you could always re-unlock the bootloader, install custom recovery , re-root and flash whatever rom you wanted.

Surge1223
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TotallyAGG:
Thanks for the replies, I've searched the internet for a full-wipe rom and I cannot seem to find one, can you point me in the right direction?

Also sorry for the delayed response, I actually graduated college yesterday.

EDIT: Now I can't get the phone to boot into download mode or recovery mode, the Samsung logo comes up and the screen goes black. I'm pretty sure my phone is ****ed.

I apologize if this has already been mentioned elsewhere, I did skim through the main posts and perform a search for the general topic. This root method is basicly just djrbliss' over @ droidrzr.com except it was massively simplified by another user named marty45714. So essentially this is technically now a method to root xt910 using windows! And its SUPER simple, especially for non Linux users like myself. Here is a direct quote of his post:

"Moderator,

I spent the weekend working on something really lightweight to get this done easily, and I've finally got it working and ready.

Using Oracle VirtualBox with a Tiny Core Linux VM, I've managed to get this down to a 46 MB download.

Everything is automatic... helps the user get connected to SMB, then helps with getting connected with USB debugging before running the exploit.

I spent most of the entire weekend tweaking with Tiny Core Linux to get this ready. Please share. Where's the best place to start a new thread to get the word out about this?

Here are the steps:

1) Install Sun VirtualBox on your Windows PC. [EDIT: Link ---> https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads <--- Provided my MichelBFR, aint he swell? ;)]

2) Download the VirtualBox .ova file here:

dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/bb53ayj5c3nd5ie/Root_Bionic_JB.ova?token_hash=AAGSOYfPuDXTur_e9qlYl2JRERovPyfMwe-2xNzHXg4Lxg&dl=1 [EDIT: Link dead, see below]

3) Import the .ova file into VirtualBox. (Click "File" then "Import Appliance".)

4) Start the imported VM in VirtualBox (Click the big "Start" Button. It has a green arrow icon.)

5) Follow the instructions on the Linux console."

I also apologize for not coding links etc, I am not an advanced forum user. I just really wanted to share this with anyone who may not have come across this as of yet. If any of you need any further assistance I can try to help as I have successfully used this method and I know absolutely nothing about linux. Enjoy!

Well, I'm trying to apply the root on my Razr Maxx, but idk I did something wrong. The process seems to be frozen after the usb connection verification.

Edit: I found the problem. The Virtual Box isn't recognizing the Razr at the USB port. Apparently, the system is conflicting with another request in the same device.

Edit2: OMG!!! Rooted the phone in 30 seconds!

But I forgot to mention another detail about the USB detection. You need to enable the Razr in the Virtual Box config before. Press CTRL + S and do as the screen:

Then the Virtual Box will detect your phone and continue the root process.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ficus*:
I don't know, as I'm not a developer, but of course I wouldn't want to use a method that installs a malaware on my pc/phone, even if I'm able to clean it afterwards. And btw, this tutorial works flawlessly, it's very easy to use:

just a couple of notes which aren't expressed clearly in the tutorial (or they can be missed). you need to have:

- all (mobile and debugging) RAZR drivers installed on PC (install Motorola Device Manager and connect your phone to PC using MTP method & debugging turned on to install them) prior to using this method

- both PC and phone must be connected to the same wi-fi

- when pressing the ctrl+s to check the usb connection, i had a XT785 and no XT910: remove the 785 and add one 910 by using the icons on the right of the window
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Crumplet:
Are you referring to this root process that your saying installs malware? Here is the link.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2402943
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ficus*:
well, the exe inside the root process you posted is version 1.5.0, while the malaware one is in version 1.6.0 of the software.

I don't know if the malaware was inserted only in 1.6.0 or if it is present also in earlier versions (e.g. in 1.5.0), but I would ask if someone with more skills could check the 1.5.0 just to be sure.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Crumplet:
Well the link from your original post and dtrail refers to a app called rootmanager.

And in my posted link refers to a app called rootmaster.

So are you sure these two different root processes are actually one in the same?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ficus*:
i edited my reply a few times while you quoted me :p please check it again :)

basically, it's the same exe with different version and name. we are sure that 1.6.0 has a malaware, but we have no confirmation 1.5.0 has it as well. but it is very possible this could be.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] kaziq:
Hi,

First, thanks to the author for this magnificent tool! I was able to root my umts RAZR within a couple of minutes!

However I too had the issue some of you have - the empty Host IP field. After some tries I resolved it, and I think I can give some hints that might also work for you.

In order to work properly, the VM needs to communicate with your phone both through USB and through the network (remote storage), and the phone must be able to connect to the VM (the VM cannot be behind a NAT, looking from the phone's perspective).

To communicate through the network, the VM needs to have access to the outside network (through the host's network connection). Now the field's name is somewhat misleading. It's not the host's (your computer's) IP address, but the VM's (guest's) IP address, and it is set up to obtain automatically through DHCP (you can't set it manually). To be able to do that, the VM must be configured in the VirtualBox settings (network) to have one network card, and that card must be set to mode bridged. Only this mode will work, because only this one allows other devices to connect to the VM (the VM is treated like another computer besides the one you're running it from). If you select the NAT option, the VM will obtain an IP, but will not function properly, because your phone will not be able to connect to it directly. (In NAT mode the VM can reach the outside network, but the network cannot reach the VM).

Next, the thing I have discovered, is that the VM cannot connect to a wireless network. Perhaps this is due to lack of proper drivers in the VM, that has been made as small as possible. So when you select the bridged network in the VirtualBox's settings and you choose a wireless card for that - it will not work! You have to use a wired network card, and connect your host machine with a cable to your router (using that particular card, if you have more than one). And the router must provide DHCP addressing to the clients, so that the VM can get one. Only then the VM will obtain the correct IP address, and you will be able to create the necessary remote storage on your phone, using that address.

To sum it up, in the VirtualBox machine settings set the following:

1. A network interface that is connected to the router by wire (not WiFi).

2. Set it's mode to bridged.

3. Enable DHCP server on your router.

After that it should work (at least the network part).
