[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
FYI:

the updater script in my ROMs is written to wipe everything but your SDCard and /data/media/

Did it this way to avoid any potential issues from people "upgrading" then making a bug report that really isn't a bug report at all. Until the ROM is all fixed and stable, I won't be removing that portion of the updater script.

Your options to not wipe

:

unzip, delete the wipedata.sh script, rezip

By not wiping you potentially carry over any left over garbage that was no good in your previous install

Your options to wipe and still get your stuff back up and going immediately

:

create an update.zip with your apps and app data before flashing

backup your apps using romtoolbox, carbon, or tibu

And just ask this in my thread next time. I won't bite and I generally don't look in here for support questions :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brabauer:
Thanks Man! im going to give this a try once all the customers leave my store (manager at a verizon store.) I wanted to post it in your thread but the site wouldnt let me until i had 10 posts in since i just created the account today. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
You should send me a handful of fresh unused SIM cards ;)

Would save me the trouble of going to the store when I kill one testing builds that mess with the RIL settings. lol :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brabauer:
i just got a couple hundred in, i think i can spare 20 lol also while im getting this ROM going on my phone. I live in a dead zone and i use a network extender. Ive notice in all the ROMs ive used for my phone does support it. There is no data support so it so picture messaging and Group MMS dont work. Do you have ideas on that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I've never used an extender. Do you get voice service or is it full dead zone where you live? That's rough though. And you said all ROMs act this way or just Google edition?

MMS needs 3g in order to send (it's always pissed me off that you can't send with WiFi)

Does data and mms work everywhere else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brabauer:
I live in a complete dead zone. Thats why i got an extender. I can do voice and text but anything revolving data does not work. Ive tried a lot of different ROMs before yours trying to find the most stock google one. It just tells me im roaming, If someone sends me a pic message or Group MMs it will say downloading and will sit until the next day im at work in service and then it will download. Same with me send a pic message. Its not a big deal i was just wondering if it was just the rom or if its an issue with me phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Give this one a shot

https://copy.com/CDdtj

I just posted it in my other thread also. It's a test build I was working on to remove CSC. It may or may not help. I'll look to see if I can find a setting sourdough's to sending mms in poor reception.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brabauer:
Just install this over what i have on there already? or a clean wipe? like i said its not a big deal just a thing i was wondering about
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
It clean wipes you whether you want it to or not. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.lysgaard:
Hello

I have tried to make myself a complete guide on the background services running on my phone. What happens when I delete some of them, wich of the I can delete and not.

In this post I have 3 screenshots where some services are selected. Do you guys know if some of them has to do with the microphone I talk into. People can not hear me unless I choose speaker, I can hear them all the time.

Some of you have any idea?
[General Topics] Anton.Valleyman:
I've searched and I've searched but cannot find it anywhere

By "it" I mean any reference to any normal ringtones that are

a) more like the sorta things you find in Nokias

b) not sh!t when put through WMP10.

I still like the oldphone as supplied on the first XDA I had, but I sometimes would like just to have a nice discreet "ring ring" or a "bip....bip....bip" style ringer rather than "RIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNG" which sounds loud even on a low volume setting.

Anyone got any suggestions?

Cheers

Ant
[General Topics] Izzard:
Dear Ant,

Now you've got a cool device and you long for Nokia ringtones? I do not get this. I've uploaded some ringtones for you. Please download them and place them in the Windows/Rings directory. The Dave Brubeck one is very cool and quite discreet. The Bernard Hermann one you might recognize form Kill Bill vol I.

It's 6 ringtones in total:

Dave Brubeck - Take 5

Bernard Hermann - Twisted Nerve

Eurytmics - Sweet Dreams

Lumidee - Never Leave you

Rocky Theme

The Cure - Lullaby

I hope you enjoy them and never long for Nokia tunes again!

Rgds,

Izzard
[General Topics] Anton.Valleyman:
LOL you don't understand....I've had XDA phones for nearly 3 years now and I've gone through all the extravagent ringtones.

I don't know if anyone else is the same, but the saturation of ringtones in the past 2 years (constant adverts with ****e ringtones based on ****e songs) has left me wanting to be different by NOT having a stupid ringtone on my phone. I've had oldphone for the LONGEST time and I work in a professional environment so it suits. The kiora song as my ringtone lasted about a week before I got bored of it and thought I wanted to something better. Someone had crazyfrog at work and when it went off we all took the p*ss out of him for it!

Thanks for your efforts but yes I am still hankering after the more sensible ringtones that they had. I still have Homer telling me there's a new text message, though! :wink:

Ant
[General Topics] Rudegar:
when you can use wma ringtones the options are endless

heck you could use your xda to record any nokia phone make it wma and use it
[General Topics] Anton.Valleyman:
Been there, done that. Though the recordings were never particularly good. Might try again with my girlfriend's 7610.

Cheers

I'm having a problem with my xperia Z inbuilt earphone all of a sudden. I cannot hear if someone calls me or if i make an outgoing call. This happened all of a sudden today. I tried doing the factory reset but it did not work. Please help me to solve this issue...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidfreak70:

SORRY FOR MY BAD EN.LANG:crying:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drukkentech:
Galaxy S3, AT&T, running Jelly "Beans" R15 4.1.2.

I'm using the AOSP messaging apk that comes with the ROM. regular messages do not get duplicated, just MMS. I don't see multiple sent messages on my phone but whenever I send an MMS to someone (other android phones, iphones, other carriers as well), they will get 10, 20, or even 30 duplicates of this message, spaced over multiple days. My phone appears to be sending and resending this same MMS picture like it has a mind of it's own.

My brother also has a Galaxy S3, running the same Jelly 'Beans' ROM R15, using the same AOSP messaging app that comes with the ROM. The only difference in our phones and software setup is that my is an AT&T phone and his is a Verizon version.

Has anyone had this problem or know a solution to it?

TL;DR: my phone sends the same MMS to the recipient about 30 times without that being reflected in my messaging app

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drukkentech:
I believe I have found the problem...

I had request delivery report checked in the message app settings. I believe the people I sent the MMSs to weren't sending this return message which was causing the AOSP messaging app to continuously resend whenever it had a chance.

So far no more repeat messages...Will update if it comes back

RAZR HD and RAZR M Updates Fix the Kernel Exploit for Unlocking Bootloaders
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
The question I've yet to see answered is if it affects those who are already unlocked. Meaning, if I flash this will I have any problem putting custom recovery back on....I'm tempted just so we can answer that question.
[RAZR HD General] krazyace35:
Once u unlock it can't be relocked because the Bootloader Qfuse is blown when u unlock the Bootloader
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
It's not that simple, I'm afraid. Having talked to Dan R about this subject, it's not as straightforward as that. Yes, one of the qfuses is blown and causes the phone to go into unlocked "mode" (for lack of a better description) but there isn't just one qfuse.....
[RAZR HD General] krazyace35:
I was just stating what I was told by several other developers but Dan should know since he unlocked it to start with. Thanks for letting me know that.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
I'm one of the ones that originally thought that since the qfuse was blown it couldn't be relocked, but, Dan corrected me and said it's technically possible since there's more than one qfuse. However, that being said, it's incredibly unlikely to ever happen. If they got it wrong and relocked a dev device, for instance, they could be in some trouble. So I'm not too concerned but it's something I like to at least consider with these OTA's.
[RAZR HD General] krazyace35:
Yea they would have to unlock those devices for everyone. I won't have to worry about getting relocked because I love 4.2.2 and love flashing roms
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
I just finished installing the update. I did get an assert failed at the end of the update, though. assert failed: motorola.bl.backup(). LOL. I can guess what that is and why it failed. :D As soon as it's done with the android upgrade script I'll put TWRP back on and try nandroiding it. I'm likely to go back to CM 10.1 shortly but I wanted the updated radios and to find out for sure if anyone had to worry about this update who's unlocked.
[RAZR HD General] tech_head:
The current soak removes root but does not lock the bootloader.

Root can be kept with VoodooOTA.

I can attest to the above since I just went through it.
[RAZR HD General] freebird_78:
I have protected and unrooted via Voodoo, but how did you uninstall TWRP or get around that? Found the update in the cache directory, but obviously you can't just install from there.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Not so much an uninstall. You have to flash stock recovery. You can get the MR2 FXZ and flash it from that easy enough.

I'm not on this new update anymore. I don't want to scare people with my story, but, I actually managed to brick temporarily an unlocked phone. If I didn't have a backup to restore I could have been in quite a bit of trouble. I'm probably about to brick it again cause I need to know a few things about this stupid update and unlocked phones. And my curiosity won't allow me to leave it alone for long. I do wish we had an FXZ but such is life. It's possible I may not be able to get this update reinstalled without one though.
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
My apologies for coming into this discussion late... What update are we talking about? I am on 4.1.2, rooted, unlocked, but have no updates waiting in my "system updates". Or is my phone just one of the last to receive an OTA... AGAIN... :(

EDIT: Does it matter that I used the Utility 2.0 to get to 4.1.2 and not a previous OTA?
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
New soak test that got leaked this morning. Will be pushing out in a week or so most likely.
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Thanks Samurai! Not only for keeping me informed, but also for working with the OTA leak to figure all of this out for us not-as-capable folk prior to full-scale release.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Don't mention it. Happy to help. This update is a pain in my....uh anyway. :D I got MR2 back on my phone...mostly. Backing it up and will attempt to install the update again.

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

Update is now in fact installed, rooted, and is backing up in the new version of TWRP (2.6.0.0) that Hashcode just gave us. (It's up on goo). Finally.
[RAZR HD General] jnd03:
the soak test has been released, i the received update about 2pm eastern today
[RAZR HD General] mikeymax:
So how do we update and keep all well?
[RAZR HD General] nigezee:
How were you able to install the update. I am too rooted and unlocked. Before I started to install the update I used voodoo rootkeeper to temp unroot. Then when I installed the new updated I thought it went thru; the installation process went smooth and my phone started back up and said installing new apps so I thought the install was actually gonna take. Then after the apps installed I received message saying that the update failed!. Please Help!!
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Um, Hmmmm. Well, I can tell you how I did it but it might not be a whole lot of help. I'm the author of the House of Bionic, so, I whipped up my own personal House of RAZR_HD. I restored my MR4 backup (I run CM 10.1 usually) and then had to downgrade that to MR2 using my utility. Basically it's an FXZ of MR2 that doesn't wipe the data partition. I booted into stock recovery, applied the update, got the awesome motorola.update.bl.backup() assertion error (which is fine from what I'm told...happens on unlocked phones), wiped the cache in recovery, and rebooted. From there once it did the android upgrade script, I rebooted into AP Fastboot, installed TWRP 2.6.0.0 (new version Hashcode just put up on goo), directly rebooted into TWRP (if you allow the phone to boot, it'll overwrite recovery...shut it off from AP Fastboot, and boot up into the menu and select recovery), installed the supersu zip in TWRP, ran a nandroid, and now I'm done. Upgrade taken, rooted, and backed up.
[RAZR HD General] cmajpwc:
So I've been reading on this for a bit and before I accept or prolong the update when it gets to my phone I just am curious about something. What are the chances of the bootloader getting unlocked again with the fix? Currently, I have absolutely no intention of unlocking the phone or rooting as for once I am pretty happy with the performance, battery life, and interface. I don't see myself needing to do it in the near future, but there might be a time where I want to (i.e., when KLP is released).

I understand that the soak update only JUST got to phone in the last day or so, so I don't necessarily expect a definite answer, but are people at least going to work on it? If they're not, I might as well unlock it now before I get the update.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
If you ever want it unlocked, now is the time. We were lucky enough to get the unlock we have. It was based on a security hole in the trusted computing code that's now been fixed. There may not be any way to exploit it again after this. And we definitely can't assume Dan is going to even bother looking. Assume that the Window of opportunity for unlocking is closed once you take this update. That is the safest bet.
[RAZR HD General] bammers:
bah

The worst part is I am part of the soak... I downloaded ALL the files needed to unlock yesterday and then see it wont work... Hopefully someone will be able to root it again, I am finally ready to experiment. Got sick of waiting on Verizon to update me to the most current operating system.

Steve
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
I was told motochopper still works to root the latest, but, others have said it doesn't work. If I wasn't being lazy I suppose I could test it and see if it works for me. The unlock most definitely won't work once you've taken the update. And sadly there is no going back once you update. Even on my unlocked device I bricked trying to fxz back to mr2. I had to create a custom script to install enough of mr2 to let me reapply the new update.
[RAZR HD General] ANtiHazarD:
Hey, guys! Will be an update for XT925 (by motorola, clean, w/o VZW)?

Or just xt926
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Seems likely at some point but I don't have any knowledge of it.
[RAZR HD General] gf1723:
Wow I just unlocked the bootloader this past weekend. Glad I did it, just in time it sounds like. Does anyone know if the OTA will try to push through on a phone running a custom ROM? For instance, I'm running LiquidSmooth v2.8 on Android 4.2.2. I'm guessing that I won't even receive the notification unless I restore back to my rooted stock 4.1.2?
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
You have to be on stock or a stock based rom to get an update notification. And yea, being unlocked is definitely a great thing.
[RAZR HD General] gf1723:
Thanks for putting my mind at ease! :good:
[RAZR HD General] tech_head:
So I am rooted with an unlocked boot loader.

Update went fine.

I didn't remove any bloat and only disabled it using the stock launcher *OR* Titanium Backup when that didn't work.

I didn't temp unroot. I never do to take updates.

I'm bone stock just rooted and unlocked and had no issues.
[RAZR HD General] bammers:
Not rooted yet

I was saying that I had not rooted yet, but already installed the soak test update. So at this point it looks like I can't root until someone does another work around for root.

Does anyone know what will happen if I try to root? Will it just fail or do I risk bricking?

I have both Motochopper and Motopocolypse ready to run LOL.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Motoapocalypse will definitely fail with this update. I've heard different reports on Motochopper. Some say it'll work. Others say it doesn't with this update. Try it. Worst it'll do is fail. Please let us know the results either way.
[RAZR HD General] SCFirefighter:
I don't think there will be anymore effort to unlock the bootloader after the fix.

Unlock it now! You're not gaining or losing anything. Just do it in case you'll want to do something with it in the future. An unlocked phone is always worth more than a locked one.

Also, with an unlocked phone you can ALWAYS root it.

-- Android: It's a UNIX thing. You wouldn't understand.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Well, you're losing a warranty. :)
[RAZR HD General] SCFirefighter:
Well, there is that. It's a choice, really. Rooting will become harder and harder with every release, as it should be. Security bugs, which all root exploits take advantage of, will diminish in frequency as an operating system matures. Unlocking keeps you safe forever, even if you really never intend to run a custom rom, but just want to keep root.

Just keep in mind less and less people will be willing and able to find the exploits as time goes by. So the choice is yours:

Red pill

or

Blue pill

Just remember: There is no spoon :D
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Oh I know the advantages of unlocking. It's why I chose this phone. :) But people need to know the good and the potential troublespots.
[RAZR HD General] SCFirefighter:
Yeah I know. I wasn't really talking to you lol

-- Android: It's a UNIX thing. You wouldn't understand.

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

I took the update. No repercussions. I used SuperSU and its OTA survival mode.

After booting the first time I was happily surprised to see a message from SuperSU that it restored my root.

I was unlocked and rooted, but haven't made any real changes to the system.

[RAZR HD General] crookx:
I just ordered a razr hd xt925 on eBay, will this update affect me? I hope not I rreally want to unlock its bootloader and root it.
[RAZR HD General] Skrilax_CZ:
All XT925 have unlocked bootloaders.
[RAZR HD General] crookx:
never knew that, thanks for the info!
[RAZR HD General] ANtiHazarD:
Hmmmm, strange. my 98.21.25002.XT925.Orange.en.GB (9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-25) bootlader was in LOCKED state.

I've performed unlock by myself...
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
He meant they're unlockable. Very few phones if any ship unlocked.
[RAZR HD General] Skrilax_CZ:
Ah yes, wanted to say unlockable. All new phones have bootloader in locked state, as unlocking = warranty void. Afaik, only Verizon & AT&T, the non-developer editions, have locked bootloaders.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Yea, I knew what you meant and translated. :D
[RAZR HD General] crookx:
Alright good to know, can't wait to get my razr hd in the mail!
[RAZR HD General] pb1379:
Not really. They're all locked, but (at least some) can be unlocked on Motorola's page. Voids warranty as usual.

When I updated to v2.8 build 85 for some reason I lost root with out thinking I just ran mottochoper on 4.2.2 and bit rooted again with ease( I knew I lost root with root checker/ built in CPU contorler said I didn't have root access)
[RAZR HD General] mattpena23:
So if you are unlocked, rooted and running a ROM, xenonhd, how would you update?
[RAZR HD General] SCFirefighter:
This is an update for the official Verizon ROM. If you're not running the Verizon ROM you will not get this update because it does not apply to you.

If you ever go back to the Verizon ROM then you would be able to update to the latest available version by letting your phone check for available updates in the Settings menu.
[RAZR HD General] Germanese:
Okay Finally !!!

I Managed to pick up a cheap Broken Phone from my friend with an Old Firmare and I did the Unlock. Made sure all was well.

Then I went ahead and swapped its board into mines. Now I have an unlocked bootloader. FINALLY !!!

So then I did a Factory wipe so I can put my info on it instead having my friends (Still on old Firmware etc etc)

So not I am running March update, Unlocked Bootloader, Rooted (After Reset)

So technically I would Update to the new OTA ?

What are my Risks ? On it messing up my Unlocked Boot loader ?

It took a lot of hours for me to swap the boards clean and keep the phones in Mint condition w/o loose parts.

And if I update can I always get rid of the new Kernel and go back to an old one ?

Same question applies to the Fastboot Screen Bootmode ?
[RAZR HD General] al2fast:
Nice work! I haven't tried the latest OTA with my replacement phone. That July OTA killed my original phone and I got a factory replacement and quickly unlocked it. I think the unlocked bootloader on these phones is like your virginity, as soon as you do it once it's gone forever, ain't no relocking it.

I guess it would be up to you if you want to take the OTA and run the stock firmware, but if you went through all of that hassle for an unlocked bootloader, ROM it up! I got CM 10.1 running from their offical site and it's so much smoother and faster than the stock rom. Read a lot of good reviews on the other ROMS, start flashing!

Keeping root

You can root by rolling back to an older version of android. As far as keeping root goes... Voodoo aught to work.

I tried a few roms but I never had luck.

At the beginning it runs well but then I have to Check on things because my phone gets all laggy.

As if Its a Low end $99 Phone. I would type my text and it would not appear untill literally 4-6 sec later.

What i am interested in though is how i can run the XT905 Rom on this phone, (I dont need the CDMA bc I am using this phone with Tmobile)

And yeah Unlocked bootloader is a nice prestige =)

Ya I've been having trouble with Carbon CM and liquid all are very cool but all 3 are causing a glitch to happen where frame rate goes to 3 per minute then all the sudden ui or system stops responding and then I close and it comes back to normal!
