Sure thing, you got it bra. Here is what you get:

pds.txt - owner-group-permissions list for /pds folder and it's filesystem tree.

pds.zip - /pds folder tree.

Permanently_Change_XT912_WiFi_MAC_Address.zip - colored Hex Editor Map of nvs_map.bin file showing MAC address location bits for an example WiFi MAC and where each bit it located to change them, with instructions.

The zip is the entire /pds folder. The list goes with it because it shows the owner, group, and permissions for each file and folder for a user to set manually. The last remaining zip file contains the nvs_map.bin file opened in a Hex Editor with an example WiFi MAC address, where each bit is located in the file by color code so a user can Hex Edit the nvs_map.bin file to set his own WiFi MAC address.

The real jewel here is the image of an Hex Editor with the nvs_map.bin open and a sample MAC Address, each bit of the MAC is color coded to make it very easy for anyone to Hex Edit the nvs_map.bin and change it to the old or desired WiFi MAC Address. Once done and saved, the user can then open a Terminal Emulator window on the phone and run wifical.sh to commit the new MAC to the device.

TIP: Preventive Medicine goes a long way here people. Open your /Settings/About Phone/ and scroll down to where your WiFi MAC address is displayed. Then take a screenshot and keep it with the pds zip and list. At least then you will know what your original WiFi MAC was and can put it back in the event it becomes lost.

More than you asked for, but a complete package. :D

So, I think I might be stuck with JB for the rest of my Razr days. I have no idea why, but when I go to KK I lose voice and text (see attached photo). I have connection to verizon, but the network signal indicator is RED most of the time. When I am on JB it works like usual (green or light green). I do run KK on the stock slot and I might try it on slot 1, but I really don't like having space that I can't use for photos and apps. I've tried every suggestion that Ohmster has given me, but it's no use. I lost my /pds folder and I don't know if that could be part of the problem, but that was months ago. I think it might just be time to lay this thing to rest. The primary reason why I want to keep it is because I am getting $25 off my bill every month that I don't upgrade! Actually 50 bucks because my wife has the same phone. Hers is working great on 9/21.

In the past week I think I have gone clean (Stock JB back to KK) about 4 times trying to figure out what the problem is. No luck. No one else is having this issue?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I often edit my posts several times before I submit reply. The portion about "no install button" was below the edge of the text window and I did not see it to delete it prior to posting my reply. I *did* boot to recovery to check this out before posting and yes, the Install button is indeed present. Both Install and Wipe are now colored RED when doing this while Stock Slot is set to Active. I think the red color on those two particular buttons is "to remind the user that this is your primary stock operating system so before even considering something like wipe or install, make darned sure this is what you want to do".

So yes, we can flash a rom in Stock Slot, that part I get. I am not sure at all where you got the Factory Reset option from or where it appeared after wiping out your stock slot? It could not be in stock rom under Settings since you already destroyed stock rom.

When/where did this Factory Reset option come from or when/where did it appear?

This is really cool stuff, you understand. So I want to be really clear about this before I dare to try it. :eek:

Thanks. :o

Well, that is ONE way to show us how. LOL! :laugh:

So this part in red does not come into play at all? Mistake, forget it?

Bobcus Leper Post #6141

No Factory Reset, just a mistake in post, wipe, install, done? Yeah? :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bobcus Leper:
I did a factory reset in "wipe" just to be on the safe side of things. But, you are right [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], a factory reset probably isn't needed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION]. You misunderstood me a little bit. I have RSD'd back to stock JB. Then rooted, then installed safestrap, and then wiped my stock slot as [MENTION=5711114]Bobcus Leper[/MENTION] outlined and installed CM11. I never installed JB on a Rom Slot. In fact, I have only used a Rom Slot once - way back when KK came out and I wanted to see how well it worked and before I dumped JB. After the kernel was close and they figured out HDMI, I went to stock slot and never looked back. But now I am having this weird issue. Attached is my network signal now that I am back on JB. I might try to go to 9/10 again this weekend. I really miss KK already.

So I created Slot 1 and installed CM 10/10 in that slot. Same damn problem. My Signal strength is -95 in CM. Not the best, but it should work!

Under "Service state" it says Voice: Out of service, data: In service. WTF!?!?!?! Is there a setting somewhere to prevent voice/text in CM? I should mention that it works briefly after a airplane mode cycle. I have no clue what is going on. Again, JB works fine. Anyone? Pretty please... :confused:

EDIT: Looks like someone with a Note 2 is having the same issues as me, just a few months back: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50825349&postcount=2148 Reading through some of the comments, it appears that it might be a regional issue. Who knows...

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION]; Actually, Matt's utility uses the RSD binary and the same image file contained in the fastboot XML file for our phone, but instead of following the instructions imbedded in the XML file, it flashes the images the way it wants. That way, you have a choice of keeping or wiping data, and it doesn't touch the internal SD storage. In contrast, using RSDlite will totally rewrite all internal storage (and it is recommended you remove your external SD), restoring your phone to an out-of-box state.

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], Where is this antenna wire you speak of? Never seen such a thing when changing out batteries???.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hard to see, part of the upper frame ass'y. It does not even "Look like an antenna". Can be broken if clumsy while disassembling the unit.

You can see the antenna in a tear down page here.

Oh crap. Now I see why I could not get my battery out and at the digitizer, there is a tiny screw behind the camera sticker! I never could find that one last screw. Show you a tear-down video, showing complete dis-assembly.

Do NOT try this yourself! The man in the video "makes it look easy", but it is not. The phone in this video was take apart previously, slowly, and all glue and sticky stuff removed. Taking apart an XT910 or XT912 is a very, difficult job and most of us cannot do it.

Again, it is not "Fast and Easy" like in this video, do NOT try this yourself. You have been warned.

Cm11 10/10 seems to be a very good build!!!! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] googlesstepchild:
So the white/black piece is an antenna. Do you know which radio (cdma, LTE, Wi-Fi) this antenna connects to?

BTW I did not have to remove that so called antenna/frame piece when replacing the battery. It was not too difficult, just have to go slow when pulling the back cover because of the tape (both sides of battery). Yeah, that extra screw under the lens cover decal is surely hidden. I would recommend purchasing a new one (lens cover) before attempting to replace the battery. They sell for about $5 on Ebay and with free shipping. The thing with this cover is it has a thin piece of double sided foam tape affixing it to the phone. The glue is VERY tacky, so much so that it presents problems while trying to remove it. Some of issues are; the foam tears easily making it difficult to reassemble, the clear plastic cover is thin and breaks easily, the gold "HD 1080p" decal on the back of the cover can easily peel away if the foam tape happens to separate from the cover. A bit of heat (hair dryer) may help with removal but having a spare adds some piece of mind.

That tear down you reference is not for a MAXX. Which is a little different.

+1 Also having a good experience with 10/10. Been running for 24 hours and seems solid and minimal lag. A few orange bars during the day but always seemed to self reconnect .
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sherri:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], I move almost everything to SD card. You can move music, apps, downloaded ROMs... As for the "system apps" that I move, it is everything that can be downloaded from play store. Facebook, YouTube, Google+, Hangouts ... I do NOT move launchers (although I do freeze one of the "stock" launchers), or apps that may use system. Also, never move anything that uses a widget that you use.... All music/video players are moved. SMS backups aren't. Too tired to give full list. Will look tomorrow.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
[MENTION=838017]sherri[/MENTION]

Thank you Sherri, that is more than adequate. I do not need a full list, I get the picture. I see the size of these apps and they are not large, 50Mb is a big one and most are nowhere near that large. So one would have to do a LOT of moving to gain significant rom slot space. My moved apps gave me about 150 Mb more on my available internal storage for cm11. Not bad and I know what to do now. Really thanks and good night. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] my2cents:
So I might be making some progress with my issue. My signal has always been weak at my house. JB is the same - so that is out as the problem. I think I am narrowing the problem down to the "preferred network type." I've been running CDMA + LTE/EvDo and this is where I have an issue - I think. I've switched back to Global and it seems to be working much better. If I end up with problems on "Global" then I might try some of the other settings. I think this might be why it works on JB because it just has the right option selected by default and I dont think we can even change it. Fingers crossed. :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Those settings will have a HUGE effect on your data connection. Experiment with them. I never had good luck with Global but then again, I am in a strong LTE/4G area. If your signal area is not strong for all signals, experiment like hell with these settings to find one that is best.

Global is supposed to automatically pick the best signal type for your device. For me, it never worked and when I lost my LTE, my phone kept defaulting to Global, which did work then, but I never got 4G anymore. If you can use it successfully, Global would be a much better setting, 2¢.

Hey, give us a signal strength for comparison. -95dBm is terrible! Are you any better now? C'mon, give me a lower (negative) number, buddy!

Way to go, 2¢!

(Fingers crossed: :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] googlesstepchild:
Thanks man for all the info. Oh, and your stories keep this place live - haha!

The reason I asked about the antenna was my LTE reception all of a sudden went down hill. This started back in August. I tried everything...no luck once so ever.

Some background on the phone; Purchased new w/ unlimited data plan over 2 years go. Never had any problems with the phone. Got bored with stock then rooted, installed SS and flashed CM10. This was around Dec 2013 and have been running CM nightlies with the occasional flash of others work ever since. LTE went flaky just after VZW's thug announcement they would start throttling unlimited users. Now you can imagine what I was thinking - conspiracy!

In the mean time I searched the Web and read countless forum threads in hopes of finding a fix. I was quite frustrated, 3G is the dog that causes all kinds of grief and constantly makes you want to be done with it, and take em to the pound. Nothing I tried could bring back my beloved LTE signal. No insurance, no warranty, no more LTE.

My battery had been draining quicker than usual which I initially attributed to a bad nightly. After going back to a known good nightly and even stock JB using RSD I got to thinking the battery could be the problem. It was a last ditch effort so to speak, so I had no qualms about tearing into the device to get the job done. Replacing the battery was not to difficult but unfortunately did not solve the LTE issue.

Well, I finally had it and put in a support ticket with the verizn guys. Long story short, no they were not throttling me, nothing wrong with towers in my area, but my cell records indicated lots of signal drops from 4G to 3G to zilch at times. The conclusion was my phone was bad and should be replaced to fix the issue. No Insurance, out of warranty, guess what? They offered to replace my razr with a CFLN device at no cost. As you could imagine, I was stoked! It came in the mail the other day, LTE is back with full signal, this rocks!

Now just need to root and get back to a good nightly. Any recommendations on a good build?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
...WOW! Now that is quite a story. People pay attention!

It is not always "the build, rom, settings, or software". Uh, what the hell is a CFLN device? Is that a manufacturer, model, some sort of rebuild, what?

Well, if you are talking about a Razr, 10/10 NIGHTLY is a 3x confirmed good build. Using it now, very good. Recommended /Settings/Performance/Processor/CPU governor/ setting is ONDEMAND. Aside from that, the usual. Shut off auto updates from the play store. Quick test of phone performance and backup this install before wrecking it. Uninstall ALL apps you will never use like Apollo, Google Play News, or anything else you do not need. Install Greenify (Donation Pack) and Greenify the hell out of everything. Donation pack allows Greenifying system apps and also allows things like text to wake up and receive messages.

So exactly, what hardware did you get from Verizon? :confused:

Thanks on the way when you "'splain this CFLN device" thing. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] googlesstepchild:
Yes, Razr (MAXX) XT912

CFLN was a typo, should have been CLND = Certified Like New Device. Thanks for pointing that out.

CM11 Update 10/11

Anybody take the 10/11 build update yet? The changelog for it is barren. A few foreign language updates but that is pretty much it. There does not appear to be any worthwhile changes over 10/10 to make the update worth it for me.

Some good stuff in the works for the next nightly though.

Audio, video, and image codecs, some framework and wallpaper support.

Build reports are a staple for the group. Anyone with 10/11 installed please report the build status and collect your ..."Thanks"! :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
I installed 10/11 this morning (along with the 10/11 version of PA stock GApps) and it seemed to work pretty well for me. Although I haven't done much testing and I am about to make a backup and move on to 10/12.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hey, thanks for the report, Dwillian!

Huh? 10/12 is out already? Oh, it is! Thank you very much. I am going to join you with 10/12. That build sound promising and with 2 of us reporting, we can do the group a good service with a unanimous report. Nice work, buddy. See you back here with the report. :D

Question: How come you installed pa-gapps? Are you going clean, doing a manual update, or supplementing your update with new gapps? I am just curious because gapps update themselves from play store, unless one does not perform the updates when shutting of auto update on play store like I do. I do the play store updates on my time, not "in the middle of a phone call" like play store might decide. Thnx. :)

Personally, I do my updates OTA from the CMHOME page or /Settings/About Phone/CyanogenMod updates. Again, this is common knowledge among group members, I am catering to the newbies to give them a heads up and help make them feel welcome. ;)

Installing 10/12 update right now. Thanks for the report, Dwillian. :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
Rather than doing OTA updates I've gotten into the habit of manually updating by booting into SafeStrap recovery, backing up current ROM if it seems good, then wiping system, cache, and dalvik cache. Then I install CM 11 nightly, PA GApps stock, and Play Services and Games update (optional, but highly recommended, add-on module to be installed with PA GApps). I install all three zip files in this order and at the same time (i.e., add all three zip files before starting the install). Then I wipe cache and dalvik cache, and finally I reboot.

Using this procedure I am coming as close as possible to a clean install without losing my apps and data. I also end up with as many google apps installed in the system partition as possible, leaving more room for apps and data in the data partition. And I feel (but can't prove) that I have fewer problems.

Note: Since I am installing the stock PA GApps I did need to increase my system partition by 100MB to 800MB (from the default size of 700MB).

Note 2: 10/12 seems as good as 10/11 so far.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
Actually I've gotten pretty quick at doing the manual update process. Less automated than OTA, but mostly it requires waiting on the phone to complete the wipes, install the zip files, and re-optimize the apps.

Here is a link to more information on the Play Services / Play Games update module: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44417509 (scroll down to Add-on Modules, then look for Play Services / Play Games Update module). The module primarily ensures that the proper versions of these Google modules are installed on your phone (i.e. correct versions that match your device screen DPI). This avoids mandatory updating from the Play Store after first boot. Incorrect versions can cause a Force Close of some apps until Play Services and Play Games are updated (which I experienced from time to time until I started using this add-on module).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rgerrans:
Based on [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION]'s thumbs up, jumped up to the latest as well. So far running solid and quick (also based on [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] running OnDemand as well and switched over to Global based on other reports to see if it minimizes my orange bars or not (just worth a shot ;). So +1 that 10/12 seems a solid build even with all the changes.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dwillian:
Wiping system, cache, and dalvik cache before installing CM and PA GApps will not affect your desktop, apps, or any account settings (this information is stored in the data partition). You do need to install both CM and PA GApps if you wipe your system partition since both CM and GApps are installed in the system partition. I do this all the time without any issues.

Update: 10/12 still working pretty well for me. Perhaps a bit more lag than 10/10, but I didn't really give that build a fair try. I am using Global for mobile network and I did reset default APNs (followed by a reboot). I haven't had any connectivity issues so far. I also used Google Maps to navigate this morning and it worked fine (i.e., no force close and no random reboots). So far so good.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh that is awesome, bra! ...OMG, "RAW Wrestling"? ...'scuse me, I need to change the channel. :p

K. I love these confirm/conflict reports. Gives me a better idea on roms and how my own build is going.

SO.

Your system does not wreck the desktop, accounts, and apps

. Awesome! Into my library with this tidbit and next thing I think I will try is backup what I currently have because it is good. And then use your update method to "clean out the catbox" and try out that playservices.zip file. I need to destroy/recreate slot 1 to gain the additional 100Mb of system space. This will be cool and I am looking forward to it. Worst that can happen is I don't like it and restore. But it sounds neat and maybe 10/12 has enough changes in it to warrant cleaning things out. Not sure because system, data, and android secure partitions are formatted and filled in the restore process, and I am pretty sure that the OTA script does this as well. Maybe I am wrong here so I cannot say. No, I am wrong.

OTA does not wipe data or android secure

. My bad. :o

Global and APNS, huh? Hmmm, I hardly ever have to do that but APNS could mess up my connectivity. Good looking out!

Yeah, I will for sure say 10/12 has more lag. I had a LOT of orange bars this afternoon while driving around. The FC I had may not have been a big deal. Maps did FC when going directly from contact address to Maps to Navigation. But a laggy system is often attributed to either heavy CPU load or low memory. I saw a lot of red 1200M in my status bar with the little tool I use. Much more than 10/10. The playstore update for Greenify did the same thing on 10/10, it "disappeared" in a batch update and when I went back to update Greenify itself, it worked fine. Then had to open Greenify and give it root rights again with new version.

I will think about 10/12 a bit and probably wait for another update to see if that works better for me. But your reports are very, very welcome and necessary. Thanks a lot, dude. :cowboy:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SimpTheChimp:
Sometimes, if I end up doing a clean reflash (i.e. kill the SS partition, rebuild it, then reinstall CM) I always end up losing by Wifi connections, Bluetooth connections, and my blacklist entries. What I would like to do is to be able to save these particular items and then restore them when I complete a new build. This way I would retain my connections (Bluetooth), Wifi connections/passwords, and my blacklist entries so I don't have to rebuild/reenter them every time.

I think these are stored in files/entries somewhere in the file system. Does anyone know what these are so I can backup these things before I rebuild a partition? Thanks!
