I update from the system menu. The build is stable enough to use OTA updates with confidence. Unless you want to update gapps, but they update themselves so what is the point?

If I go fresh and clean, PC to phone download. Normal updates right from system menu, OTA updates. All good. :good:

What exactly are these fellows talking about, in English please?

* EDIT: Excuse me, I didn't understand the question. You want to go back to stock Jellybean on your phone. ROMS are typically about 600Mb in size, I believe. Well, Matt's Utility is 491Mb so a little less. But you can delete the rom once installed. I don't do RSD Light so if you flash via USB, then no need to delete the rom file from the device. If you have an XT912, then Matt's Utility is for you. If you have an XT910, I am not sure which stock JB rom will work for you. Perhaps someone else can help? Matt's Utility is sort of a rock star icon here on xda, easy to find. If you need a link I would be glad to help. (Link Provided.)

Look, CM11 recent builds are *very* stable. I have already been through the "update nightmare". Want to know what it is? We DON'T want to do a factory reset, it sucks, we DON'T want to wipe the slot, recreate, bump up the space in Safe Strap 3.6.5 to 2.5 Gb if you want, flash ONLY cm11, wipe dalvik and cache, flash pa gapps, mini modular are everyone's preference but pick what you want, bite the bullet, and install CLEAN. Go through all the crap to add your accounts, repopulate your apps, * Have Titainium Backup installed prior to doing this and make at least ONE backup! Why? Because when you are up and running and run Titanium Backup for the first time, you will be asked to restore your system ID for paid apps, etc. Do it. It will not hurt anything but your device ID will be the same so paid for apps will download again and you keep what you pay for.

Do this one time and you will be amply rewarded. You get a clean system that runs like a top. Minor issues, if any. Make a Safe Strap backup early on so you have something clean to restore and try again in the future. Do NOT use old backups from the days of patches, jbx kernel, and wood sticks and bailing wire to make CM11 work. Go completely clean at least once and you can play again and relax.

I don't know if this is your issue but for anyone restoring old backups and updating on them to try and get a good system, it will NOT work. You must have a modern, updated, clean install to get a good, working CM11 system.

HTH. Cheers! :good:

unrelated: replace digitizer on XT912?

Sorry guys, I know this is unrelated. Admin, move post to appropriate area if necessary. Thank you.

My XT912 Razr Maxx has a cracked digitizer (Outermost glass screen.) I have successfully replaced the digitizer with ease on my Galaxy Tab 2, 10.2 twice already. Not bad for a skilled technician. Just need the $15 kit and heat gun or really hot hair dryer. Videos on youtube make this a walk in the park.

Not so with the phone. XT912 digitizer with tools cost $15 from China, but actually doing the work is a nightmare, I gave up. For one, I could not disconnect the battery, the terminal screws simply were not where they showed in the video and I could not find out where to disconnect. For two, you need a really tiny Torx screwdriver, not included in kit but others are. For three, removing the camera section resulting in a tearing of internal decal. No replacement provided. This would grossly impact the appearance of the phone. I am good at what I do and part of that means knowing when NOT to do the work. I put it back together. One crack, works fine, but bothers me. Yes I have insurance and can replace the phone for the $100 deductible. That means installing everything over again from scratch and I am rather poor right now. Anybody successfully replace the digitizer on an XT912? How did you do it, where did you get the video or instructions? Are there alternatives for repair that are affordable?

Yeah I know, off topic. I have to beg your pardon this one time. People here know what the hell is going on with Razr phones, no dummies in this forum. Only pros, techies, newbies who want to learn, and a LOT of experience and knowledge so I have to ask quietly under the radar if I may?

If this is so far off topic then Admin please move to appropriate area or reply PM. Thank you for your time and tollerance. :confused:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] JovieBrett:
Thanks alot for helping me! The only reason why I've asked you about how huge is the file size of the ICS update is actually I've found yesterday a list of ICS and JB firmwares but all of them are ranging from 500-800MB file size and I don't have a fast and unlimited internet connection to download one from those :( But someone gave me a link of those set of firmwares which is from Europe and Canada (Both in ICS) I'll try to flash one of them later on my Korean Motorola Razr device. Anyway, I really appreciated of what you have done to me! Thanks again ^_^ Sorry for spamming this thread with my noobish questions as if whenever I post a question on Q&A thread, it always gets ignored and this is the only way I can contact advance users :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Oh awesome dude! Yeah, that is exactly the sticker I was talking about. Not included in the kit and yes, it will get toasted to remove it. Okay, I can get that and the correct screwdrivers now. Only thing is a better replacement video. Seems that the original youtube video shows the battery as having two fairly heavy screws in mid battery pack you can remove to disengage the battery. Pulling this $600 phone circuit is suicide w/out disconnecting the battery. I really looked and for the life of me, cannot find the disconnect for it. It might be underneath or on the flip side on this particular phone. I never saw these areas because I could not remove the battery nor the entire circuit card as it would destroy the camera bezel decal.

Oh wow, you gave me the procedure too! Oh way cool! Yeah, that might be it, I do not remember looking for battery disconnect in that area. Man, this is "the procedure from hell". Wonder if it is worth it? I am sure I can do it but it is a LOT of risk, work, and time. Contingencies could always cause problems. I have to research this, buy the few remaining cheap parts, and think this over very carefully.

The only way you could do this w/out ripping the camera decal is to heat the camera glass w/heat gun prior to attempting a very careful removal. Since the guides do not mention this, torn internal bezel/decal is almost certain. Mine is already torn but I stopped and eased it back down so it is not noticeable.

Cool beans. Thanks given. Now maybe I can give this a chance again when I get the decal and right tools. Taking that case apart with guitar picks is a total *****, man. But yes, it is doable. Thanks TStar!

Does the BMM workaround patch still work with latest builds?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lorilucille9:
Be careful because I did 2 conversions and the first I pulled the battery and ripped the area where it's screwed into the phone essentially ruining the battery and had to buy another. Second conversion I screwed up the signal and wasn't as strong as it use to be. If you slide pick in to far that's what could happen cause signal is on top or side of case.

Is it also slow if you try to access it directly via IPv4: http://131.188.40.106/cm-11.0/test/

The machine is connected via gigabit to the backbone and our uplink is currently 10gig. And we usually have no problems moving data from and to the US. But I have seen less than optimal IPv6 routing to some destinations in the US, so trying IPv4 could already help.

I just need dmesg now. The radio logs were a bit boring, the modem just stopped working at some point when the usb host crashed... But that crash-info is only found in dmesg.

You can run the following in a terminal application on the phone:

Just did a clean install on a new slot of the 0214 test build. I can see the backup location on the SD card for Titanium Backup, but it will not show the apps to restore in the batch actions. I have rebooted several times, unmounted and remounted SD card. Uninstalled TB, reinstalled. Nothing seems to work. Does anyone know what I can do?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Hey, how come you say "conversion" all the time? All we are/would be doing is to replace the outer digitizer touch screen. Leaving the intact LCD screen beneath untouched and clean. Mind you, I never said "simply", but it is a part replacement.

Anything you remember, lorilucille, I need to know. I had particular problems with the battery. Videos on youtube show screws in middle, under red plastic strip, remove two to disconnect. Help page other fellow showed me clearly shows battery terminals right at the bottom, same deal, red strip cover, remove two "heavy" torx screws. I graduated electronics school in 1982 and have spent my life doing this work. I "looked everywhere" for battery terminal screws or tab disconnect. I could not find it. Another video shows you must remove the topmost camera and as I began, the inside decal began to tear, plus I would still have a live $600 retail circuit board in my hands so I gently lowered it back down, neatly closing the edges of the tear so you do not see them.

The guide lists this work as "DIFFICULT". I beg to differ, I had this apart, replacement part in hand, and had to close it up without finishing. Very depressing. I would call this work level as "INSANLY DIFFICULT".

So you did this twice? How long did it take you? How many times? How many unsuccessful as in the broken antenna? I can use insurance to replace this phone, this is not the retail one I got in the box, already replaced through Asurion cellphone insurance for $100 deductable so it is a rebuilt and differs from the guides where the battery screws are. I might not do this, want to know your experience. Thanks given.

Hey Stargo,

You want me to wait on updating and catch a black screen lockup log? That might take a week or two and at the speed you are working, I doubt it would help much. I can just update then and if anything abnormal like genuine software glitch, grab a log, yeah?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] stargo:
Hi Ohmster,

Just update and if something happens on the build you are running at that time just grab a log then.

One thing I forgot to mention in connection with the black screen: The signal-loss problem is one of the problems which could cause it, but not the only one. There are others (like stalls on the I2C-bus), so I'm really interested in getting a dmesg when this occurs, because it might contain a clue to fix this.

No problem with camera here. The other day I tried to check power shutter on and got continuous fc.

I don't know what that does so I thought I'd try it. Bad idea. I think I ended up clearing all app data and rebooting before I got it to work again.

Aside from that the camera is fine.

Hey.

I'm having this issue since the ?January? As you said, it happens mostly when call is ended, sometimes when listening to music and barely absolutely randomly when waking your device.

IMHO, it's because of some process running in the background, it needs some testing..

Anyway, it's not such a big deal, this happened to me also on the previous versions of Android..

I've been running the 02/14 test build from Stargo for over 24 hours now and I had one incidence that resembled the signal drop that was the subject of the test build. After about as minute the signal restored itself and everything was back to normal.

I was in a questionably signal area and the icon blanked out, the mobile data network preference settings showed no selection and there was no communication available.

But, shortly on it's own signal was restored.

Fixed?

P.D: It also happen sometimes with my D4 even in stock rom to (GSM)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moset:
It's much more frequent than that. Losing signal then having it recover is not a problem. It's when the only way to restore is to reboot that is the problem, and it doing so daily.

Syslog app in play store works for this.

I can really use some help here...

I tried all day yesterday trying to get this installed on my phone. I have been using AOKP on slot 2. This was installed with SS 3.11, as this was what was needed for it. I haven't installed anything new, but for the last week or two, phone keeps randomly rebooting. When it does, it doesn't mount the system. I have to manually go to recovery and Mount it. This is "iffy" at best, as it doesn't always work, and I have to do it multiple times.

I wiped everything, and followed instructions to the letter. Opened "unsafe" side, removed recovery removed the apk. I installed SS 3.65, installed recovery,and rebooted. Phone did boot to recovery screen, chose recovery, and slots opened. I tapped slot 1, to create it. Started to create it. Got about 25% there and wouldn't progress. Waited forever. I forced the phone to reboot, and was again presented with the choice to boot into recovery or normally. Choose recovery. Tap slot 1. This time, it says to "activate" it, as if it were actually created.

It does nothing. I keep trying to create the slot, but it keeps getting hung up at about 25%. I have CM 11 on my PC, but I won't try installing it on my phone because I can't seem to get out of the stock slot.

I finally wiped everything again. Used Matt's Utility, re-rooted and all.... Reinstalled 3.11. I didn't bother to restore from a backup. Opened recovery, went to slot 2, created it, and reinstalled AOKP MR2...I also have Liquid Smooth 4.4 there, on slot 1. It is gorgeous, but it will not let the led blink while the screen is ON.

I know CM and CM based ROMS allow this, so I was surprised. After wiping everything, Titanium only could find old backups (which is odd, as I ran it before I started all of this....) Lost data to games, but that isn't a biggie. Apps were on SD card, so they are fine.

Anyone here have any suggestions on getting this to work for me? Dumb it down, please! I am good at following directions, but I an soooooo list as to why this isn't working.

Thank you all in advance!
