[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustang5.0:
today i accepted an OTA update,

i was previously root with an unlocked BL. i RDS lite back to facotry and i was unrooted, therefore thought it safe to

install update. the phone now wont turn on, no matter the combination of buttons.

i know it has a charge its been on the charger forever. no LED light of any kind, and plugging it by usb to PC has no results either.

im pretty sure i hard bricked this device.

at any rate i cant get a warranty for two reasons :

1. unlocked BL

2. denied replacement dude to crack in back glass..

so im a SOL?????
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantherVT:
I havent heard of this procedure bricking anyone else, so maybe your phone just thinks the battery is dead. Team Black Hats factory adapter may fix this for you.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
If it bricked because of the update, it's the provider's fault, so they should cover it. However, me thinks there is more to this story.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustang5.0:
Theres nothing more to the story.

It was on charge all night with the stock charger.. Nothing.

Phone was rooted I unrooted it. Boot loader still unlocked.

I accepted the ota and it won't do anything. I was denied a warranty replacement in store because the back glass has a crack.

Anyway the device is useless I bought an s4 today. And I'm selling the RAZR M to the highest bidder.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Cool story. Do I believe that an OTA, by itself, bricked your phone? Nope. Have fun with that S.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbanj:
if u tried to update and it died, charging it after wont do anything. so i will ask what was ur battery at when u started?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustang5.0:
I charge it all night before work. Got up for work and on the drive to work I accepted the ota so the battery was probably at a good 97%

Im still trying to understand what happened lol
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jersey846:
But then again, nobody cares what you "believe" happened.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustang5.0:
I came here to ask for help on how to revive the phone. I didn't ask for an opinion. What I provided is a 100% accurate account of what led to my phone being bricked. In the hopes someone could give me and idea of what to do. I really could careless about your opinion of "what you believe". If you can't help then don't come here and attack me. Thanks.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jersey846:
Don't worry about alpha nerd. He gets his kicks by being smarmy in nearly every thread he posts in.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IndianaBond:
Have you tried holding down on the power, volume up and volume down buttons at the same time for about 3 secs?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
There's no attacking. Before we even had chance to help you, you scrapped the phone and went and bought another one. When you originally posted, you didn't give any details to help us out. Personally, I don't believe only the OTA would cause a brick, but as we all know, no one cares what I think.

If your battery is good, you should be able to get into your recovery menu and restore your backup. If you can't do that, you might try to get into the fastboot menu and fastboot back to stock. If you hold the power button, volume down, and volume up at that same time, you should be able to get into the fastboot menu. When in the menu, scroll down with vol- button and choose your choice by hitting the vol+ button. If you can't get the phone to boot into FB, then you are probably stuck. However, if you can get into recovery and/or fastboot, you don't have a brick.

edit: I started a pissing match, so I'll end it.

As much as I enjoy being "smarmy", I'll try to ease up so I don't hurt some kids feelings.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mustang5.0:
Dear rikrong.

First. Please read I supplied every detail I can absolutely express about my phone and what happened.

Second I do important business and there's no point in tying up time in waiting for a fix to my phone when I can get a new one. Why waste the time when I was expecting a customer to call about a $5000 job?

I'm not "some kid" and unlike you I have business to do and don't have time to troll on a forum for people seeking help with their devices. Hold your tongue and don't pass judgment on someone you don't know.

And don't worry about hurting my feelings. I GUARANTEE you don't have the mental capacity to offend me, friend.

I would like to revive the device and donate it to a family member or friend who could make better use of it than I.

To wrap this up, no button combos or ANYTHING will turn the device on, it literally is a brick, I heard of JTAG and this may be the route I will take..
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Well, that's nice, you tell me not to attack you and you come right back at me. I tried to tie it up in my last post and offer some help, but I guess you didn't get it. If you think I'm trolling, you need to put on your big girl panties and take a look at the other forums that aren't super newb friendly like these tech forums. I tried to offer peace, but you came right back at me. I also have plenty of of business to take care of every day. It just so happens that I like to come to these forums when I'm at home and finished busting my knuckles at work.

I tried to offer some help, after realizing how I did come off as an ass in my original post, but you fired right back at me. So,have fun. ;)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PantherVT:
I stand my my recommendation in post #2. It doesnt make sense that this procedure would brick your phone so my feeling is that its not bricked. I had a similar experience with my D2G back in day. For $10 team black hats factory adapter is worth a shot. Even if you stick with the S fixing your XT907 will fetch you more money on the market.
[HTC One X+] Roshi69:
I was running Android Revolution 7 and all was working fine.

Yesterday I decided to try an AOKP ROM 4.2.2 but went back to Revolution and using Elite kernel. I used a fresh install and wiped data/cache

I moved everything from the data/media/0 back to data/media and restored apps using titanium backup.

A lot of apps now force close including my bank, gumtree, android central, group on etc.

I still get the force close even if I uninstall the app and reinstall from the market.

Just wondering if anyone knows what I can do. Do another fresh install and try again with default kernel?

Just want advice before I waste time trying things. Thanks
[HTC One X+] Addicted2xda:
Install the kernel from the ROM...

I have a really cool wallpaper that goes perfect with my Tycho / ISO50 homescreen theme, but I'd like to add some "life" to it. So I'm looking for a LWP that allows users to choose their own background. Case in point: Pixel Rain can do just that. So can a lot of the 3D effect ones. Just looking for other options. I know they're out there. Maybe a beam/ics one that allows this.

I would LOVE if this one could use a custom background image: Molecules Livewallaper. So sexy.

[General Questions and Answers] UNCFan4LIFE92:
Thanks for the help

I do have a couple of questions though if you don't mind? Will it slow down my phone and can I undo it? Also do you yourself use rooting on your device?
[General Questions and Answers] Shahaed:
I recommend quoting people when replying to them. That way they get a notification because normally people don't subscribe to threads like this.

Again this is a question probably more suited to the HTC One section. However, I'll help you.

Rooting is just giving yourself (end user) elevated permissions. The actual root directory is locked for you to access when you get the phone. Essentially rooting will give you freedoms to install and work apps that normally wouldn't e.g Internet tethering.

To answer your question, rooting will not make it slower. Because you haven't really done anything to the phone other then change permissions. You won't even know a phone is rooted unless you check. Rooting can actually make your phone faster via kernel tweaking apps. However, To really make your phone faster you need to flash a custom rom (google it).

And your last question. This forum is for development. Almost everyone has their phones rooted with a custom recovery. That's why they're here

I just wanna root it so I can delete all the bloatware but I'm afraid my phone will not reconize the service of verizon wireless since I'm unlocking the bootloader. I just wanna know, if I unlock my bootloader, can I still place phone calls, text, and use data like if nothing ever happened

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HypostaticOnion:
Bootloaders shouldn't affect service at all. Its not like a radio or anything. Also for clarification, in order to flash anything at all the bootloader has to be unlocked. Everyone on this forum has unlocked at some point.

Just the usual ways

How to install a ROM? or I mean how did you install the 4.2.2 then do the same thing with 4.1.2
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drelite08:
Be aware tho that you will have to fix the layout of your internal SD afterwards. As 4.2.2 changes it because of the multiple user feature.

Hi Guys,

Just bought the HTC One Developer Edition, and was planning on putting the Google GE on there. But after reading some of the threads I'm planning on giving sense a try.

Can anyone recommend a Sense rom that is fairly fully functional without all the bloat? I want to try the stock rom, but don't want the kids features etc.

I looked through all the Roms and didn't find anything close to stock without all the bloatware.

Thanks in advance!

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
I don't know if anyone has tried this yet, but after I have tested it for almost a full work day I can say it's definitely worth using..

Try this: After you completely charge your phone, turn on Power Saver (make sure all options are checked in settings)

Leave it on, don't turn it off, for the entire day.

I had absolutely no slow down.. no problem receiving timely texts/notifications.. the only thing that is a minor annoyance is that screen brightness stays low no matter what, so if you view your screen in full sunlight a lot this will not be for you.. otherwise, HOLY CRAP this makes your phone literally sip power all day.

9 hrs 21 mins 44 secs since I unplugged my phone this morning and I have 63% battery left!

That's roughly 3.96% battery drain per hour!!

This means I will get something like 24-25 hours before I hit zero.. this is with using the phone like normal, where I would normally need to charge after about 16 hours.

Insane. Best battery life I've ever had on a stock phone, and yes I know those monstrosities like the Note 2 can go longer (huge battery..) or if you want to tweak your phone with custom kernels, etc.

But daaaamn I have to say I am impressed.

Leaving Power Saver on from now on!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
Btw I should add this is without Wi-Fi, in a LTE area that bounces from LTE to HSPA a lot.. WiFi left on but never connecting to a router
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
Also, I do have sleep mode on in settings
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
Update. Battery running down a little faster while on my home Wi-Fi watching videos and surfing the net. Don't think I'll make it 24 hours but I am using the phone pretty heavy. I've also noticed that the auto brightness seems to be working overtime whereas it never budged during the day. Tomorrow I'll set my brightness manually to stay at ~30% and turn off the screen option in power saver. See if that yields even better results. So far it appears auto brightness is a power consumer on this phone. We'll see if I'm right tomorrow. I'm at 23% at 14hrs 21mins
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
I should add that normally I would have charged the phone by now for about two hours since I do most of my heavy usage at night, and when I get home from work I'm already at 20%. But when I've let it run down almost all the way it's been an average of about 15-16 hours
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
OK so today I kept Power Saver on, but unchecked the "screen" option so that I the screen would adjust as normal to the ambient light conditions. I am finding that the power consumption is essentially the same, very minor change. I now believe that it is Wi-Fi that was causing a quicker drain than LTE/HSPA does, simply because Power Saver does not include an option to cut the Wi-Fi connection when the screen is off.

I will change my Wi-Fi settings to sleep when screen is off and see if that keeps the battery draining at the same slow pace when I am at home connected to my router. I'll try that tonight. If that works successfully, I should get an easy 20 hours + from one charge with normal use (including my evening usage which is heavier usage).

Last night I hit 18 hours and 22 minutes before plugging in at 12% remaining battery without changing the Wi-Fi sleep setting. Hopefully this will be the last test necessary to find the best set up for longer battery life.

Feel free to chime in if anyone else is testing this!
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] MasterofIllusions:
I haven't test the difference between Power Saving and normal. I put Power Saving On in the morning right after a full charge.

I have medium usage for about 20 minutes in the morning using wifi. (It would drop to about 94%). I then turn off wifi and mobile and by 1pm, I have about 82%-88%. I would have about 20 minute usage on mobile data during lunch (flux between 3g, H and rarely LTE). By the time I leave work, it's around 74%. This is when I turn off power saving since I'm usually heading home. Another 20 minutes of medium to heavy usage over H/LTE when on the subway. By the time I get home, it's around 70%. After this, it takes at least about an hour of heavy activity to drain it down to 50% off power saving.

I have the 64 GB Developer Edition and running ARHD 12.1 with the latest T-Mobile Radio.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] dorezen:
I've always left power saver on at all times and don't notice any slowdown. One exception is that I don't enable power saver on the screen as it's damn near impossible to see the screen outside. I get pretty damn good battery life on stock rom. Over 3 hrs screen on time in 24 hr period of half mobile data and half wifi.

For enabling and disabling wifi automatically, I use the app wifi matic and it's worked well.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ingenious247:
I can easily say the dim screen option is completely unnecessary. Everything is working perfectly, there's no slowdown whatsoever. Even set keep Wi-Fi awake to never. Phone flies, and honestly the data connectivity is ten times better with power saver on. Without it, I would see my phone jump to 2G in a moment of bad coverage and then take FOREVER to reconnect to LTE or HSPA. Now when I unlock my phone it's instantly connected, as if a radio refresh is instant on power saver but laggy as hell without it. I'm very pleased.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] distortedloop:
Just thinking out loud here...

I don't see how with the data connection off you could have "no problem receiving timely...notifications." What "notifications" are you talking about not missing? Are you saying you actually got cloud-service-based notifications while the phone was sleeping?

Texts/SMS of course would still come in because they don't travel over the data connection, they travel over the voice network.

Email, twitter, etc., they shouldn't get their notifications since that stuff travels over the data connection.

Google Voice users (like me), would miss out on their text messages since those travel over the data connection.

I'll need to test this some. Maybe with the data connection turned off via this setting, the phone actually periodically fires it up to check for notifications, or responds to apps requesting a quick data connection to pull notifications.

UPDATE: Hmmm...turned on power saver, turned on the data disconnect option, put phone to sleep by pressing power button. Waited a minute. Sent myself a google voice # text message and the phone buzzed immediately. Very curious.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Nippero:
I was confused about that same thing. I think it only turns off your data if you havent touched your phone in a while.

If I turn it off, put it down, and pick it up 5 mins later, the data is still connected.

If I turn it off and its in my pocket for an hour, I take it out, the data service is usually trying to reconnect.
