That model Id check fail is because your trying to flash a rom for the wrong phone.

Your lucky that's happening because usually it just bricks.

I should probably add that some people cannot boot newer JB Roms without updating hboot but that is not always the case and I still have no idea why it is so for some.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] RollTribe:
Yeah I should've asked... Do you have dual or quad core One X?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Neorift:
I hadn't even gotten to the step to flash the ROM at that point. It was just for the hboot.

Anyway, got it sorted now. Thanks for the help everyone.

I found the solution for mine! first log in to facebook and also the facebook app. Once your logged in go to settings/apps/facebook and disable the app, go back to the gallery and remove facebook. You will now see facebook pictures removed. Go back to settings and apps and enable facebook app once again. Open the app and you should be logged in and go to gallery and you shall not see facebook pictures!

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ZekkRagnos:
if you do that once you go to the facebook app without disabling it you will have to log back in, and once you do the pictures will sync again.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] OmegaShark:
Hello,

I've searched for help on this and can't seem to find any.

Problem: Motorola Razr is stuck on the red m logo, but I cannot boot into the boot menu to flash via RSD or anything. The logo is offset to the left a little and has a small 1-2 pixel high rainbow of colors across the bottom. When trying to boot into the menu with power and vol + & - it simply boots without a logo but still the small bar of colors.

Probable cause: Phone's screen wasn't turning on and the phone wouldn't turn off so I did the reset with vol up and power while the phone was still probably on. Before when my phone's button wasn't responsive i used that to reset it and it had worked.

Info on phone and rom:

Rom - Rage rom 2.2 upgraded from 2.1 (worked for the past two months fine)

Phones base version: 98.72.16 (the april JB release) flashed via droid razr utility

Safestrap version 3.11

What I've tried: was going to try rsd flashing but i can't reach the boot menu.

Basic summary: Stuck on M logo and can't get into boot menu or safestrap, after holding vol up + power while phone was on.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anurag.dj2u:
Going into the boit manager and flashing via rsd lite both are different .

For flashing via rsd lite ya need to switch off ya mobile and then press both volume down and volume up at same time and press power button then.

It ll take ya into the bootloader and then using power down come till 3rd option ap fastboot and then press power up to select that now connect ya phone to pc and then flash the fastboot using rsd lite

Edit : make sure ya have installed appropriate drivers to get recognise ya phone by rsd lite

Thanks!!

Please hit the thanks button if i helped ya in anyways !!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] morphalex90:
I think i have the same problem

I had MIUI on my Razr and today i wanted to try CyanogenMod, so i downlaoded it and installed it with ClockWorkMod, then rebooted and struck in the big red M, and no way to access the boot manger because if i press volume up + volume down + power it reboot, show the big red M then black sceen, and if it's conneced to my pc it tryes to install some drivers bit it fail, but still black screen

Is it bricked? What can i do?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anurag.dj2u:
Ya can't use boot manager and cwm recovery both . If ya want to use cwm ya need to remove all the files of bmm . Its just soft bricked not hard bricked so no need to worry just flash the appropriate fastboot file using rsd lite to get back to stock

Thats it

Edit : i think ya know the flashing method

Thanks!!

Please hit the thanks button if i helped ya in anyways !!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] OmegaShark:
Thanks for trying but I tried following your instructions to get into fast boot and the screen just goes dark. Also when plugging into my PC it pops up on windows' end saying that a USB device has malfunctioned. I think I may just get it replaced under warranty unless sometime soon I find out theres a new way to fix it. But yeah it seems its too hard to tell if I'm actually in fastboot or if its even getting there properly.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] anurag.dj2u:
As far as i know ya have tried all the unbrick method , none of them seemed to work . I believe ya razr is not soft or hard bricked and its not software problem too . Its hardware problem ya need to take it to service centre because it may be LED problem

Thanks!!

How I fixed my Motorola Razr i (Intel)

Hello guys,

Since my Motorola Razr i phone is a company phone where I receive my corporate emails, I wasn't allowed to root the phone whatsoever.

My phone got stuck on the Red Motorola logo under normal usage. One day I turned it off and when I turned it back on, I had this problem.

How I solved it:

1) Downloaded and installed RSD Lite 6.1.4 which worked on Windows 8.1. Ensure all drivers are installed and that nothing is undetected in Device Manager. #important

2) I am based in Germany and I had the Vodafone Retail (EU) version. So I downloaded "CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml.zip" from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=13. This corresponds to Android 4.1.2 Retail Europe.

3) I booted the phone in Fastboot (Power + Vol down; after restart and little vibrate, release power, keep finger on Vol down.)

4) The phone was detected in RSD Lite. I chose the zip file, unpacked and flashed.

5) Done. Phone was fresh. No warranty was void, nothing was rooted. All good.

Hope that helps somebody out there!

Cheers,

Shailen.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] crazifuzzy:
I've got the same issue. Took the OTA (was on stock OTA, rooted). Not, nothing but moto-logo with the only working option being AP Fastboot. Tried script utility to bring back to 4.1.2, but it fails on writing system and boot (preflash validation failed FAILED (remote failure)).

Is there another way to get the stock images flashed on there?

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

Well, with RSDLite 6.1.6 and the most recent build from droid-developers . org I'm back in operation. Old version, wiped out, but at least I can make/receive phone calls.

How I got my Razr HD (XT925) Working! Flashed It WITHOUT LOSE ANY FILES!

I know this is a old thread, but if some one else falls here just like me, I had a problem with my XT925 too, and figured out that my only choice was to flash it up.

My phone was stuck in the red motorola logo, and it doesn't even tried to load the android.

After reading a lot of information and tried EVERYTHING, I fall here, and the comment of [MENTION=3778416]shailentj[/MENTION] saved my phone!

So I basically followed the steps that [MENTION=3778416]shailentj[/MENTION] posted in this very thread, with some differences.

1 - His link goes directly to Motorola RAZR i (XT890), but if you access ' sbf.droid-developers.org ' (I can't post links yet) you will be able to find your own model, which in my case was Razr HD (XT925).

2 - Extracted the whole firmware package (.zip file) and edited the .xml file, removing the "getvar" line. If you don't know what or how to do this, is just remove the line where you find the text "getvar". If you have trouble, just google it, there is a lot of information.

And finally, the reason I'm here. I found a way to don't delete USER DATA! My phone stuck, and I did't have any backup of my contacts (that is a lot of numbers) nor my files (photos, movies).

So I start to read the .xml file, and find a step "userdata", with operation "erase". This line says to erase the user's data partition, and in most cases, we don't want that.

Then, just remove the line in the xml written: " <step operation="erase" partition="userdata"/> ", and your files (may) not be erased!

4 - I start to flash, and then I got the infamous message "sistem_signature" failed. The solution was just download the last RSD I found (which in my case was 6.1.6).

5 - My phone restarts, with everything working great, system restored and ALL MY FILES AND CONTACT NUMBERS were there!

So very thank you [MENTION=3778416]shailentj[/MENTION], your post really helped me a lot!

And yeah, you can flash your phone without lose any contacts or photos!

Now go, and spread the word!

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] inquisitor:
hello world.

Today my XDAII was finally exchanged after waiting f**king 4 weeks for it. Btw O2 has the worst customer service and the worst network of all German operators - Vodafone and T-Mobile exchange phones within 48h!

After initializing the new XDAII, which came with a 1.66 ROM version, I couldn't completely restore my backup (total 82 MB). I tried it several times with hard resets in between and every time ActiveSync would report, that some files could not be written to the XDAII. Unfortunately the contacts and the schedule were under these files.

So I called the O2 XDA hotline and the lady on the phone told me, the 1.66 version was withdrawn due to some insufficiencies and I should download the 1.60 upgrade (which is the only available version on O2's German website) and downgrade my XDAII.

Unfortuantely the downgrade process crashed for some inexplicable reason.

Now the XDAII shows only "Serial/USB Version 1.06" and when I retry the upgrade just after 30 secs this message appears:

Does anyone what the problem is? Shouldn't I listen to women?

I'm not willing to wait another month until these j**ks will exchange my XDAII.

:cry: I AM MISSING MY TOY! :cry:

Hey everyone!

I have recently been running MIUI V5 on my Galaxy s3 and loved it. I loved how it was really different that AOSP and Touchwiz. So i was wondering if there were any other ROMs that really moves away from the other UI's (touchwiz, aosp etc.) and is more unique like Ubuntu but more stable.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philrazr:
Hey everyone! (updated final question on the bottom)

My problem: a "brand new" (at least the shop assistant said so - it seemed to be opened though (busted seal on the manual/warranty plastic packaging and it had 4.1.2 installed)) Razr i - charged it to 100%, started it - and after booting battery was already down to 77%, after playing around (basic setup)

it went to 4% in less than 1 hour.

(it did NOT "jump" up and down - it constantly went rapidly down)

After plugging-in the wall-(USB)-charger and charging it for a couple of hours (aprox. 4h) it said

"fully charged"

... while the

battery meter only showed 15%

(sic!) - after 10 minutes of use (only checked settings again, and battery stats) it - again rapidly - went down to 0% and powered off.

Once again - I plugged it into the charger - and now (after only 15 minutes) it shows 100% .

Would you guys return it immediately on monday? (I've found some threads about SW related issues with JB and jumping battery readings, but nothing even close to my "experience")

PS: I'm going to try a factory wipe/reset after my temper settles down a bit - (I'm close to exploding right now ;))

Thanks in advance for any input, I'll report back asap.

edit: After factory reset using stock-recovery, rebooting and initial setup it now shows 97% and charging. - Now going for a midnight walk and keep it plugged - let's see.

edit #2: Half an hour later (still plugged) it tells me 1% and "full". Unplugged it... 0% > shutdown... Something is broken I guess :(

edit #3:

Final update:

Before I went to sleep, I plugged it again into the charger (while being off), and checked the charge level after a minute, and it jumped from 3% to 100%. Unplugged it and went to bed. Now it still reads 100%, I even made a couple of Google Voice searches, and had Google Maps open...still 100%.

Final Question

: This wasn't normal, wasn't it? - since I'm going to void the guarantee by unlocking the BL and rooting it... I guess I should not do it with this particular device.

PS: Please excuse my sub-standard English skills :)

Problem is that all the call recording apps i try they are not working on Samsung Galaxy B5330.

Even regular recording application is not working correctly during the call.(same symptoms)

It was working on SG Note 2 not rooted and SG Y pro rooted.

It is recording in very fast speed so you don't understand and i tryed to decrease the speed on PC,but i couldnt make it understandable.

How it is possible,i try to copy all the libraries from the devices to later rooted B5330 with no luck.

files:

audio_policy.default.so

audio.primary.default.so

etc.

I'm guessing that it is a ROM issue(security reason? )

How hard it could be to edit the ROM and change whatever is needed to change.

What i should be looking for? some conf file ? with like android.incall microphone allow or whatever?

Maybe for someone it could be peace of cake? :)

I want to record only my side at least ,need it for work during driving etc, i guess i'm not alone.

Thanks for any clues guys.

I use SwiftKey too I'm going to try uninstalling it and see if that's that culprit.

Edit: I un installed swiftkey and lag disappeared:0 thats really weird. Games work normal no lag in menus anymore swiftkey made this phone unstable maybe because the stock keyboard has swiftkey flow, they kept colliding with eachother. Idk just a theory.

You can't uninstall swype unless you root, if not disable it. I'm not sure if swype affects performance I have it disabled cause I don't use it, But haven't noticed a difference. Swype and SwiftKey are two different apps so if you don't have SwiftKey this post doesn't apply to you.
