[Motorola Atrix HD] neondunker:
Even if in the words appears to be a lot, I don't know if actually those are "killers" updates.
[Motorola Atrix HD] robobub:
I agree, but supporting new development is always good for a device issues fixed may help porting over more major updates.

Here's a video showing the differences:

[Motorola Atrix HD] Silentwidow:
Photosphere does not work on AtrixHD, no gyroscope
[Motorola Atrix HD] codecxbox:
I totally agree with Neo. In fact, most dev threads run developments from 4.2 down to even Froyo!

Many devs prefer to dev on top of a proven daily rom because it's pretty much documented.

I would suggest working on a 4.1 with everything working. GPS, camcorder, data, lagless,etc

This would be a dev job on 4.1 with the purpose of tweaking a proven working rom.
[Motorola Atrix HD] swapnil0545:
Even I feel the same, why dont we make a fork of the cm 10 when we have working cam and gps everything?

Why people are goin after cm 10.1 or 4.2.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Because its newer, simple as that. And a lot of custom roms don't do CM10 based anymore -- all CM10.1. I mean, if PAC, Slim, AOKP, PA or whatever were still doing 10 it would be worth doing.

I mean, I could probably\maybe do a 10 based rom, but first release would pretty much be it. Our devs don't really do CM10 anymore, nor do the major projects.

Android 4.2.3 and a 3.4 kernel is where we're gonna be in the future. We just need to be patient enough for Hashcode and the rest of the gang to get 3.4 working. Lots of progress has been made, but its not all the way ready. Personally, while inconvenient, I can live without gps and camcorder because I know that I'd rather have them working on a better 3.4 kernel for us than trying to fix our current out of date kernel.

I'll look into doing a 4.1 based PAC, but that's as much as I care to do for CM10 other than help someone else start their own CM10 based project.

EDIT

Gonna try and make PAC Jellybean 4.1 based on XT926 CM10 unlocked bootloader sources and kernel. Wish me luck

Do you know how to use fastboot?

Just get fastboot. (either from one of these toolkits or whatever , or from the android SDK)

Put the recovery file that u will download from here in the same folder that fastboot.exe is in

hold shift, right click anywhere in that folder (blank spot, not on the file) and click open command prompt. copy paste that command from Original post on there and hit enter....

Your phone has to be in fastboot mode obviously for this to work

Odd bug

There is one weird bug that I have been experiencing since moving to this from 2.3.2.3.

Randomly, when navigating screens or when typing (like changing the name of a backup for instance) I get a 3 pixel (approx) screen shift. It lasts less than a second and I never lose the screen or lose function ... its just a screen jitter. It is hard to duplicate and occurs seemingly at random.

Nothing that I can complain about - it's just weird. I was wondering if anyone else had noticed this or if I'm experiencing signs of a future screen problem.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Zero Computing:
Yeah... Wavy screen stuff reported on this partially in q and a...

Seems to be a hardware thing.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ktracho13:

[Droid RAZR M Android Development] sloosecannon:

Flashing should work fine on a Mac, assuming you have the fastboot Mac binaries
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ktracho13:

[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ktracho13:
I have mattlgroff's utility 1.20, can I replace the twrp.img file found in utility 1.20 for the one I just downloaded in this thread? (twrp 2.5)

and will I be able to use the utility to flash this custom recovery?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] sloosecannon:
Yep that would work
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] aviwdoowks:
Better yet you may have all the flashable (zip) versions (twrp : 2.3 ,2.5 &cwm ) on your sd card and flash them as needed. You will always boot to the last one flashed.

I can't locate the the cwmr.zip on the web - there is one but it is the fastboot files compressed. So as of now I can't swap recoveries thou I do have the twrp2.5.zip.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ktracho13:
would you like to share those zips? :D or atleast where can I find them? lol

For some reason 2.5 is not letting me install zips if i if i have the "Zip file signature verification" checked. I know for sure some of the zips are signed (such as gapps from goo).
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] RikRong:
So, just uncheck it. Check MD5 sums before you DL and place on your phone.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] PantherVT:
Yep that's what I have been doing. Its not a deal breaker or anything I was just curios if it was a known bug or if others were experiencing the same thing.

EDIT: Added Experimental 2.6.0.0
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] pbanj:
anyone try the 2.6 yet?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jbaumert:
Since I asked for it "first", I'll give it a shot. I was able to "Verify MD5" and restore a backup make with 2.5.0.0 - After booting and making sure it looked good, I tested an adb sideload of the newest PACMAN and that also worked fine.

I did not test doing a "backup and restore" as my SD card is getting a bit full (I'm waiting for a larger one to arrive).

[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
With respect... If you are in these forums, reading about unlocked boot loaders, rooting, recovery, and custom ROMs, and you still don't know what it means to flash something... You are better off staying stock.

A flashable zip file is just that, a zip that can be flashed in recovery in the installs menu like any custom ROM would be. In the zip file, there is a program the recovery will read that tells it where the new bits of program go. So if the script in the zip file says "put these parts in the recovery partition", that's where it goes, or, "these bits go in the system partition and those bits go in the data partition" then that's what happens.

You can't flash any old zip file, just like you can't run any old program on a computer. It has to have been written for your hardware for that purpose.

That's why only a certain amount of hand-holding is possible. At some point, you have to take responsibility and educate yourself. Otherwise, you run the risk of damaging your device beyond the ability of anyone being able to fix it.

It's sort of like saying, "I don't know how to drive, and I haven't taken any lessons or even bothered to figure out what all those pedals and switches are for, but I'm going to get in this SUV and drive to the mall during rush hour in a rainstorm."
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] aviwdoowks:
If you are aready UL'ed & on twrp, just flash the ug. If on ss & UL'ed it should also work. But I went from ss to Matts util (twrp2.3) then flashed 2.5. Maybe someone will chime in?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] netizenmt:
Ditch Safe strap. Almost all the ROMs require a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM. If you haven't installed one of those, the easiest thing to do is use Matt's utility which is all menu driven. READ and FOLLOW the very simple instructions. Download version 1.10 if you have Android 4.11 or version 1.20 if you have Android 4.12.

That utility will let you root your phone, install a recovery, unlock the boot loader, etc.

It can't get any easier than that.

For an easy way to get into the boot loader or recovery, download "Reboot Moto" from the Google Play Store. Much easier than button holding.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
Everything you said here I already know and I'm fully aware of. I guess I miss represented what I was actually asking. I know fully about what is it is as well as a flashable zip. I am rooted and the boot loader unlocked. I am simply trying to get a custom recovery on my phone without using a computer.

I have been running custom ROMs for a very long time and understand how to get them on there, but have been using the safe strap method. This is my first Motorola phone so it methods are little different than my prior HTC and Samsung devices where I simply flash to the recovery of my computer.

I simply want to get the custom recovery on my phone so that I can remove safe strap and begin using the Recovery as intended. I would like, and prefer, to do that without the use of computer. Thus my question originally which is wondering if I can flash or get a recovery on my phone without using a computer?

Also... I still have safe strap on my phone. Should I delete that?

OK that makes sense. No, no way to get recovery on there without a computer the first time so far as I know. There are apps on Play but they did not seem to work. After that, yes. The stock recovery can't help you with that.

And, yes, you will want to uninstall Safe strap. Do that before you do any of the rest to avoid conflicts.

Again, your best way to get to where you want to be is to use Matt's utility from a computer. Once you do that, you won't need to have one for most future updates. Some, yes.

EDIT: I was wrong, there is a way. See my later post for the info, and use at your own risk.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] mattlgroff:
You can flash recovery from the phone if you have Android terminal emulator and use root shell commands to use dd if=/locationOfFolder/recovery.img of=/dev/block/partitionOfRecovery

I cannot look this up for every specific phone, person, and recovery filename and will/cannot provide it at all in this one since I am on vacation.

If you don't like the way I publish this recovery please no need to keep saying it over and over.

Unless you are an advanced enough to flash this without a computer, flash it with a computer. You can't even have root without one in the first place.

The raspberry pi is a $35 USD computer if you absolutely don't have access to any schools, libraries, neighbors, friends, families, etc computers.

I am on vacation and don't want to deal with this further.

Over and OUT.

OK I researched this out for you. (Google is your friend!) Assuming you are rooted:

1. Install Terminal Emulator on your phone. (There are several available in the Play Store, just pick one.)

2. Download one of the two recovery images available for the Razr M - either CWM or TWRP.

3. Place this file on your external sdcard at the root, and rename it recovery.img

4. Launch Terminal Emulator.

5. At the prompt, type su and press the Enter key. The prompt will change.

6. At the su prompt, type the following:

dd if=/storage/sdcard1/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p32

7. MAKE DARN SURE EVERYTHING IS TYPED CORRECTLY before you press the Enter (Return) key. For instance, that character between mmcblk and p32 is a zero.

8. Assuming you did everything right, the new recovery file will be written out to your recovery partition.

To boot into your new recovery, from the su prompt, type reboot recovery and press enter.

This could also be saved as a script and run. You can research that for yourself if you like.

There is also a way to flash a zip file from Terminal, but I didn't look that up since I do those from recovery.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] alwaysbelieve1:
I will give that a try and I could just copy and paste that script command into the terminal so that everything is accurate yes?
