WoW...this is crazy! Where is everyone else that has updated? Wouldn't you guess that this thread would be filled with unhappy updated campers? Curious to hear from a dev or 2 and their opinions as to what is going on. Now I'm leary about taking the OTA after unlocking and root. Maybe I'll just lose the bloatware and deal with existing 9P radio. Son has stock and OTA s/w updated MAXX HD from 9.16.9 XT926 right out of box w/no intention of unlocking, rooting etc. and he's had no issues what so ever...phone is v/snappy, excellent battery and everything works perfectly even w/all the bloatware crapola....
[RAZR HD General] jim_0068:
So if i'm reading this thread right; if i want to buy myself a used RAZR HD and unlock the bootloader i need to make sure that the phone isn't on the most recent OTA update of 9.18.79/9.20.1 yes?
[RAZR HD General] Jhall8:
That's correct. Per the attached image, the updates patched the kernel exploit which allowed boot loader unlock.
[RAZR HD General] Not_A_Dev:
Here's a weird one for you...

I have a locked/unrooted Razr HD Maxx on VZW with version 9.16.6, on which I run the Nova launcher. For some reason, my device is unable to receive the 9.18.79 update. Trying to update system produces: "Check for update is not available at this time. Try again later." Now, I'm not complaining, because at some point in the near future I will unlock/root this device. But I'm hoping that I won't run into any issues when I'm unable to get any OTAs now.
[RAZR HD General] sloosecannon:
I'd unlock now... Updates have a tendency of happening without notice lol
[RAZR HD General] Yahmon:
Yeah and they tend to get harder to root as well
[RAZR HD General] recDNA:
Lucky guy. Wish I had unlocked when I had the chance.
[RAZR HD General] Not_A_Dev:
You must be telepathic. :o This weekend I left town for vacation, and sure enough, I get the OTA push update notification from VZW for 9.18.79. Of course I kept hitting "later". Tonight when I got home, I finally rooted and unlocked my phone. Just having a little hiccup with installing the TWRP recovery, but I'll get that sorted tomorrow. Unlocked babeeeee.... :laugh:
[RAZR HD General] sloosecannon:
Well at least you got unlocked before the update...
[RAZR HD General] xlow78:
Just disable Motorola Services and you will never have to worry about updates and nagging notifications.
[RAZR HD General] Majestic3:
W00t really glad I rooted and unlocked a few months back....I would have been kicking my butt....

[RAZR HD General] recDNA:
Don't rub it in.
[RAZR HD General] Not_A_Dev:
btw guys and gals, I figured out what was preventing the 9.18.79 OTA from installing on my device: It was the Adblock Plus app from the Play Store. Doesn't matter to me now, because I'm already unlocked, but in case anyone out there is still on 9.16.6 and wants to stay on that build and make sure they don't get 9.18.79 ------> Adblock Plus.
[RAZR HD General] Majestic3:
Lol sorry, hopefully they can find a way around it again!!

Hello,

I have XT926 rooted and BL unlocked.

I have deleted several verizon bloatware and now I can not do OTA update.

Can I do factory reset to get back verizon software and then do OTA update?

Will I loose root?

regards

RJ
[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:
no

not if you use voodoo from the market, but as the above is no, it doesnt matter.

you can use the script/utility 1.33 found in the dev forum to flash the new update right on, then root it with the same script.
[RAZR HD General] kcuongh:
Download rom ( file. SBF) and flash it by RSDLite with your PC
[RAZR HD General] banesong:
I have a rooted Maxx HD on which I have used Voodoo to temp unroot (protected). The phone will just not take the OTA update. I have not installed any custom recovery, or even any other changes (I factory reset it earlier this week).

Is there any log we can access in order to determine the cause of the failure to update?
[RAZR HD General] cellzealot:
When you run the update in stock recovery and see the android with spinning belly, you need to press both vol keys to access the full menu and see the output of the recovery script and it will tell you exactly what is failing and the file causing it.
[RAZR HD General] banesong:
Thanks!

Thanks for the help; flashing stock back and redoing recovery has my phone (rooted) to the most recent update!

We all know how lame the official cover turned out to be.

What I want to know is if anyone has seen (or made) a multifold case that actually snaps in to the back rather than encompassing an entire shell.

I'm 99% sure it doesn't exist, but from a DIY standpoint: can it be done?

To me this would be the perfect case.

Hey XDAers

In Settings-Tell HTC- at the bottom there is a warning that says

This is a test device. Accordingly, to collect critical information about the device, Tell HTC is enabled and cannot be turned off regardless of device settings

I have read this is due to S-OFF or due to custom hboot. Is there any way we can save some battery by disabling this? Can we freeze/uninstall Tell HTC? Any ideas?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
There is a HBOOT modification hack that will remove that red text, but it's dangerous if you forgot you did it. With the modified HBOOT, taking an OTA that installs a new HBOOT will automatically perma brick your device. You have to go back to stock HBOOT before updating any OTA's if you're on stock ROM.

I have the exact same problem - what are the steps to resolve this? Status = locked and S-off.... someone please help!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samflorin:
fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 (notice the space)

Also make sure that fastboot is in your $PATH (on *UX) or %PATH%. You can try going to the folder (in command line) where fastboot resides before running the above command. The problem may be that you get "Device not found", case in which you have not selected "fastboot" from the menu :) (which seems to be the case of [MENTION=5352140]rt1990[/MENTION] ). The menu should read "fastboot usb" i believe before writesecureflag will work.

Warnings:

1. Make sure that your hboot is stock! S-ON on custom hboot = you're screwed (brick).

2. If you upgrade to 4.2.2 you won't be able to get S-OFF back since the updated hboot does not currently work with revone!

3. Before S-ON run again revone -t to remove tampered flag (just in case)

3. If you have "TAMPERED" appearing after s-on/bl locked you must run a RUU for your device to make it go away (i have it and there is no 4.2.2 RUU that i can run to confirm this though)

What i'd suggest you is to take the advice and remove the damn apk from system and tell htc will completely go away. I could afford going back to S-ON/Locked BL because i won't run any custom roms. I have rooted my device but i have no use for root either :)

I attempted to flash a .zip patch to remove the QSlide Apps part of the notification drop-down menu, and since then I've been getting constant messages of "System UI has stopped" and the status bar does not show at all. Tried a factory reset on the phone itself but to no avail. Going to attempt to flash system stock ROM from a .zip ... any other suggestions / advice???

Thanks in advance :)
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jammol:
Why do you guys keep flashing things without making a backup first?! Unfortunately there is no other way for you to get back to working order; you have to LGPST back to stock. Next time make a backup if you're going to flash ANYTHING.
[LG Optimus G Pro] esimon311:
I had something simpler happen with exposed framework, my status bar would disappear then I would get an error "system UI has stopped" . Just un installed all modules and removed exposed. Not sure if you are using exposed. But that's how I fixed mine.

[LG Optimus G Pro] MrDSL:
You dont need to flash the whole thing just overwrite LGSystemUI.apk with the original one I attached, set correct permission and reboot.

You should backup any file you decide to change first..luckily the phone will still boot with a bad systemui apk
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jammol:
Hopefully that fixes it, hopefully what he flashed didn't change any other files outside of Systemui.
[LG Optimus G Pro] frankp124:
Thanks for the apk and sorry about posting in the wrong forum at first.....

How exactly should I go about installing the new apk though? When I used Package Installer it keeps saying "Application not installed" and doesn't run. Sideload Wonder Machine or something equivalent maybe? I had a tough time today with setting up LGPST so I'd like to save that as a last resort if possible.... Thanks for the responses though!
[LG Optimus G Pro] frankp124:
Never mind....figured it out. Forgot it had to be pushed over.... Needless to say I need to spend some more time around Android! It's been a while since I first got in the game.

Status bar is back up and running, and it even maintained removal of the QSlide Apps portion, which is what I was trying to fix all along -- my original screw up! All's well that ends well I guess.

Thanks all for your help! :good:
[Java for Android App Development] RedDevil99025:
Hi,

I am a recently laid off 30 year old SAP consultant from India. Over the last few weeks, I have been reading about the wonderful world of android apps. There is a great opportunity in India for android apps as millions of smart phones are sold every year. I have decided on building apps targeted at the Indian stock market - like stock screeners, that help people reach a proper investment decision. I want to make money out of my apps, so I want then to be fairly professional so that somebody buying them wont feel cheated. Also, there are not many (any) stock screener apps targeted at Indian stock market. So there is an opportunity there and I want this idea to be my first.

But how do I go about it ? I learnt Java at college, 10 years ago. My Java is highly amateurish even after I refreshed it over the last few weeks.I have bought a book on MIT App Inventor...and developed a few simple example apps already and tested them on my mobile. I am not yet sure App Inventor can help me develop more complex apps like the one I mentioned above.

So, I am desperately looking for advise from people who have been there, done that. How do I go about developing my first app ? Should I go about it the hard way - learn Java better ? Read a book on Android application development ? Build Web Apps using HTML5, JavaScript, JQuery ? Or stick to MIT App Inventor ? Try some app builder development tool like Tiggzi, Codiqa or Kinvey ?

I really need your advise as I really need to develop something quickly and make money out of it. :fingers-crossed:
[Java for Android App Development] forgin:
Hi!

As far as i can help....i made some apps, some of them native with Java and others with HTML5.

From my experience, if you plan to make somekind of "atlas app (like wikipedia)" or not very user interface intensive or if you already know html5+css+javascript, you could go with html5, but i will always recomend native with Java as you have much more control over you app.

Anyway, if starting from 0, go for Java (Android SDK) get any tutorial around the web, there are tons of them, some better than others ofc, and free.

Hope you find your way to go!

good luck!
[Java for Android App Development] RedDevil99025:
Thanks for that. But may I also know your opinion on MIT App Inventor ?
[Java for Android App Development] zalez:
I started with App Inventor and quickly out grew it. Using java will make it easier to move on to complex apps or add more complexity to any current ones.
[Java for Android App Development] forgin:
I personally wouldnt use app inventor nor any other kind of "easy app maker"
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
I would not use the inventor, too.

I recommend reading the Head's First Java books (skip the UI part) and for Android the Vogella tutorials.

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

(Btw, you cannot build an app quickly to make big money. If you want to be successful, you need to spend a lot of time on development.)
[Java for Android App Development] vikraminside:
My Hibernate trainer quoted the following "You guys are brought up with IDE we used to compile on console". My sincere suggestion even in this RAPID developmental technologies around refresh your "Java skills" on console (DOS or Unix your wish) and make use of Eclipse IDE with Android SDK plugins for fast development. That would do. Start with Eclipse Helios and Google Android SDK and AVDs. Here you go... http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

I have developed a couple of very good apps and I use one myself ;) but Google play store expects payment to become one of their developers :) Why should I pay for my own app to releasing to public for free? I choose XDA let them validate and evaluate my apps and enjoy. Let us CJava++++

[Java for Android App Development] ssuukk:
My advice is - don't read books, just start coding. A year ago I knew absolutely nothing about Java or Android. Find a webpage with sample android Activity. Start spawning your code from there. That's how I did it. Then lear something about deriving from View class... and so on...
[Java for Android App Development] RedDevil99025:
Hey guys, thank you for all the advise. I will go through what each one of you has said and do things systematically.....I am basically starting from zero......so, lets see how far I go....and I will inform you guys about my progress and seek guidance from you.
