Thanks for checking, and sorry for the trouble I got you :).

So it seems that's not possible, at least for now. I definitely have to look into the code some day when I have some time (not soon) and check if I can do something about it.

I have downloaded the Xposed Led Control thing (it costs 3 buchs only if you want the light to follow more than 5 apps, so the free version is more than enough for testing). It actually has the on/off time setting besides the color setting, but I was not able to test whether it works, because the Display & Lights setting for the Led overrides the Xposed module setting, and if the Display & Lights setting is disabled, the Led does not blink at all. I have assigned two different colours for the led in both apps, and when I receive a notification, first will go the Xposed module color, but only for something line 200milliseconds, and then it is replaced by the Display & Lights color and pattern. So I am unable to see what the Xposed module pattern actually is.

Also I found out that with the LightFlow I actually can set the LED to light constantly on a notification. It does that when the Direct mode and Root mode are both enabled in the settings. But this limits the available colours to about four (R, G, B and White), and the constant light is not battery friendly, as you have said before. So it's not of real use.

Thanks again for your work and time spent on helping me with this issue.

Cheers :)

[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] I am on RAZR maxx xt912 I have flashed 6/21 nightly with jbx and latest gapps on stock slot. I have used almost every other ROM out there and cm takes the cake and you guys have some amazing support so a tons of thanks for that!

I have been looking into the only problem I have come across so far and have not came up with a solution so far. When I try to send MMS it always comes up with an APN error. I have switched through all apns rebooted and still no luck. And advice on what I should look at to solve this problem.

Thank you in advance!!!

razr 912 help

[MENTION=3322848]JakeDHS07[/MENTION] and/or [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION]

I have a RAZR 98.72.16.XT912.verizon

4.1.2

build date FEB 2013

Rooted with RAZR_Blade and installed Titanium backup

I installed rootchecker, I do have root.

The phone works fine, but I have an update waiting and I do not want it installed. I use foxfi hotspot for my wireless hotspot @ home, it is the only option for internet except dish.

My question is, what do I do next? First I would like to block or stop the updates, and then I would like to try something new like Kit Kat, CM11 or whatever is available.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mikeoswego:
If you install a new ROM like CM11, it will quit looking for the Verizon update since it won't be a Verizon ROM anymore. (If you boot back into the stock Verizon ROM, that ROM will again look for and prompt to install their update into the stock ROM slot.)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
As has been explained before, the ROM installed by Matt's utility (known as .16) IS the original VZW release ROM, bloatware and all! It therefore has a fully functioning updater. In fact, on the official thread for the utility, it was suggested that the APfastboot file for .165 could be downloaded and unzipped right into the folder containing the utility, overwriting the original files, allowing someone to restore the newest release in one step. I also replaced SafeStrap 3.11 with 3.72 in the utility to make my life easier.

The update still being pushed by Verizon servers (known as .165) CAN be rooted using the RAZR Blade exploit included in Matt's utility, and is expected to be the last update ever released for the xt912, as the phone has reached EOL, according to Motorola.

Finally, updating can be easily stopped on the original ROMS if you desire by using a free root explorer, and renaming the updater file: /system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.apk, changing the file extension to something like ".old" or ".bak", then rebooting.

I've got a question. If I wanted to reflash my CM11 build again, would I still have to wipe everything? Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
I remember renaming the updater to stop it, but man, that was ages ago!

Yeah, that's all exactly right but I did not know the first part. Hughes, you are a pretty good guy to have around. Let me check you out.

No bad for someone so new or at least so few posts and only recently. You need a friend? I will send a friend req. Does not mean we are drinking buddies but if you accept, you got a friend and we do think a lot. Hey aren't you the guy who can make flash zip files to swap out a system file for those afraid to do it themselves? Does not matter but it is a handy talent.

Well, friend invite is there. Take it or leave it. You are a pretty good asset to the thread. Welcome. :D

I have a XT910 Asia Retail and I'm currently on Safestrap v3.11 and running official CM10.1.3 on ROM SLOT 1

I'm trying to update to the latest version of Safestrap v3.72 / .73 so that ultimately I can update to a CM11 ROM

It should usually be a straight forward process by booting back to Stock ROM to uninstall / install safestrap but I have wiped my Stock ROM long ago and somehow restoring from backup does not work so I sort of gave up on that back then and kept using other ROMs as my daily driver.

I believe now I may have to address this issue if and update Safestrap so that I am not 'left behind'

What do you recommend is the best path to upgrade to the latest safestrap and ultimately to CM11?

My thoughts were:

1. Install a ROM that works in the Stock ROM slot and install latest safestrap this way... but I don't know any and I tried a few already. Is there any known ROM that works on Stock ROM slot?

2. Update Safestrap from ROM slot 1? - there were some notes on the safestrap change log that this was suppose to work on CM10.1/10.2 ROMs but this did not seem to work for me. If I know which CM10.1/10.2 based ROM has been updated to make this work that may solve my problem too.

3. Last resort: Blow everything away and start with RSDlite? I'm also not comfortable to do this since I tried to do RSDLite once and never figured out how to make it work. This also means I have to start with ICS (asia never got jellybean) and work my way up to get root, install safestrap ICS, etc which I'm not sure whether the files and documentation are still hosted somewhere

4. Any other option?

Unrelated topic: I have a motorola lapdock which I used Razr with but have not used it for a while since using CM10.1 as my daily driver. Is there a ROM that supports the webtop feature which enables me to use with the lapdock (ie full keyboard, trackpad, USB ports. etc)

Thanks in advance for the help!

[MENTION=5920431]whemix[/MENTION], [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION], the only caveat I have to add involves the suggestion to wipe EVERYTHING. Please understand that ohmster is not saying to wipe internal storage or SD card! That is a one-way accident that will remove your backups and new files before you can install them! Probably not necessary to say, but I once accidentally wiped internal and didn't like me much for it!

Sent from my continually born again RAZR MAXX!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
OMG! Good looking out, Hughes!

Right, you do not want to wipe your card or data. Let me go into SS and see what you can and should wipe.

Booting to recovery...

Man I was so wiped out from answering [MENTION=4594669]segordon[/MENTION] on How to use Cloud Print on Android that I was not thinking anymore! He has asked this question twice and nobody will help him. I told him it was a HUGE hassle and not worth the bother. But times and technology do change, maybe it got easier or something so I did the entire thing and yep, it did get easier and it does indeed work. But why would you want to print from your phone to your printer, if you are right next to it and probably have a PC in front of you? Navigating web pages in a phone browser is NOT fun, and unless you hit a mobile page, you pinch and stretch the screen to read anything. Just go to the computer and print. Or if it is a photo, dropbox will have it on your PC to print. Makes no sense to me but some people "just gotta have it". Well, there are apps that display valuable information like for doctors and it may be worth printing out.

Okay, Wipe, Advanced: check Dalvik Cache, Android secure, Cache, Data and System. Items in RED

are okay for flashing a new rom with nothing to save.

Normally do not ever wipe System or your whole OS goes down the toilet. In this case, you do not have a system so it is okay. NEVER wipe Internal Storage (Your internal SDCard), Micro SDcard, (Your EXTSDCard), or Data (Your app data, contacts, and settings.) Since you do not have anything in Data to preserve, it is okay to wipe that now. It will NOT mix with cm11 anyway. We do not use webtop in CM mods so you can uncheck that item for backup and restore.

You cannot delete the Stock slot so you have to wipe it. For installing CM1 on slot 1, tap Boot Options, stock rom, make it active

(Where you have restored and tested your cm10 system to stock slot and make absolutely sure you have a working stock rom now.)

, then go back to slot 1 and Delete it. Then go to Boot options and there you should have the chance to recreate slot 1. I don't think you can do anything BUT recreate it anyway. I once tried to delete it and make a monster slot out of one and two, but it would not let me.

Thanks for the lifeline and helping out Hughes. I would really hate myself if I toasted the guy's phone. :o
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
NP, I would hate to see someone kicking themselves the way I did when I wiped all my backups and downloaded ROM files! I think most of what I have learned is self taught when I had to fix what I broke :eek:

Thank for response [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] and [MENTION=1807728]brkahughes[/MENTION].. this is indeed helpful! Sorry for being all over the place to begin with.

I've started to follow your recommendation to wipe the stock rom fully but I'm hitting a road block.

When I go to "Advance" tab on safestrap (v3.11) I don't have an option for advance wipe. Under wipe I have only "Cache" "Dalvik Cache" "Factory Reset" "System" "Internal SD" "External SD"

There is a settings tab and there is a "use rm -rf instead of formatting?" checked which I am somehow unable to uncheck. I assume this somehow needs to be unchecked to completely wipe the stock ROM? Any other way to go about this?

I tried to wipe my stock rom as much as I can by selecting to wipe Cache / Dalvik Cache / Factory Reset / System. Then I tried to install CM10.2 but that did not seem to work (black screen only after boot"). I also tried to restore from my Slot 1 (CM10) to Stock slot but same result (not booting)

Any thoughts?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whemix:
5AM?! Wow I salute your dedication [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] :good:

For clarity, I do have a working cm10 running on ROM Slot 1 - this is my daily driver. What I can't seem to be able to do is flash any rom or even restore to the STOCK ROM slot.

I tried to install Safe Strap 3.73 on cm10 ROM Slot 1 but it doesn't seem to work. I tried it again with "busybox free by stericson" installed as per you recommendation.

After sideloading Safe Strap, at the start is shows"not installed" status. I click "Install" and it shows its running the script and completed. This however still shows "not installed" status does not give me the option to reboot to recovery. When I click "Install" again it shows its running the script and completed but this time the reboot to recovery button is clickable and status shows "installed".

When I reboot to recovery I find that I still have safestrap v3.11 :(

What I have been thinking of trying (but don't dare as of yet to do) is to click "uninstall" on Safestrap before doing an install. My fear is that if I do this and somehow safestrap actually is uninstalled but fails to install properly I would take out my phone completely. I have no working OS on the STOCK ROM and there is no way for me to boot via ROM Slot... then I would do a lot of work (USB cable, RSDlite, etc.)

My assessment is that either:

1. I successfully install any working ROM on stock ROM slot to update safestrap which is also is a fail safe in case safestrap fails to install.

2. I successfully update safestrap on CM10 ROM slot 1 - which so far I am not successful at doing....but as mentioned I have yet to actually select "uninstall" before clicking "install" on safestrap.

If all means are exhausted for #1, maybe I have no choice but try #2 - ie actually risk it and try to uninstall safestrap and install again

Scary! :eek:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
DO NOT uninstall the older safestrap yet! I'm not sure, but I think the format of the slots was changed and you'll have to back up the slot one and restore it after. That being said, you will probably have to install a blur-based ROM on stock side like one of those [MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] mentioned in order to uninstall and update SafeStrap. You're never going to get any cm10 series build to boot on stock slot because they were all hard-coded for slot one!

Good luck, I wish I knew more about the 910 and your region's firmware.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whemix:
These steps make sense to me expect the part where it says Uninstall and Reinstall Safe Strap.apk (step 4 and 5).

If I am already using the latest Safe Strap do I really need to uninstall and install the apk file again?

Just making sure this part is / is not a typo before I try it out :eek:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Wait a minute, you are using "the latest version" of Safe Strap? V 3.73?

This link takes you to the files for your device, XT910. The very bottom is 3.73.

So if you boot to Safe Strap, you can see the version in the Safe Strap recovery screen saying v3.73? Yes or NO?

(I tried to take a picture of the Safe Strap screen and cannot get a usable image. It is either too bright and fuzzy or dark and fuzzy. But it say right at the top Safestrap 3.73)

If YES, then exactly what do you want?

If NO, the proceed as follows:

YES, that is exactly what it means.

* Make sure you download and have on your SDCard Safe Strap 3.73. Once you get into this project, there will be no way to get it after it is too late.

You are already using Safe Strap and have installed the apk or app file for it, on an old version. The "app" itself does nothing other than to install the recovery environment to your internal memory. The only way to update it is to:

Use the existing app interface to "Remove Recovery Environment" or whatever it says to that effect.

Once you remove Recovery from internal memory, you have nothing to boot to other than the installed OS. No way to change anything and the OS may not even work since it was insitalled by Safe Strap.

Now that recovery is gone, you must remove, uninstall the outdated Safe Strap app. Once it is uninstalled, now INSTALL the 3.73 version.

Now use the 3.73 app you installed to "Install Recovery Environment". It will write a new version 3.73 revovery to your internal memory.

Once finished, you are done. Power down the phone and power it back up. Watch for the Safe Strap menu screen and tap the button on the left.

You are now in Safe Strap 3.73, look for yourself and see.

Done!

Once you get things sorted out, you can, if you wish, install the 3.73 app to your stock rom. It does nothing other than give you access to remove it at another time to upgrade again.

Get it done! :good:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
I'm sorry, but if his stock slot no workee and he uninstalls recovery and reboots for any reason (dead battery, accident, whatever), the phone will be bricked! The latest SafeStrap, once installed on any slot, is able to remove the old recovery and install a new one WITHOUT doing anything in between. I agree with your aside in step two: the phone will not be able to boot into virtual slot one once the stock recovery is restored! For safety's sake, I wouldn't leave the phone without custom recovery long enough to sneeze in his situation.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, that is why I was riding him on at least 80% battery before even trying it. But safe strap now charges while in use so you can plug in the charger while safe strapping. I am not aware that safe strap can upgrade itself. Perhaps installing the new recovery will overwrite the old one, but, the way I listed it, is how I did it and it took all of 20 minutes. Not hard at all.

Now he is saying he HAS the latest safe strap. I give up. The fellow is going to have to be a big more specific. I spent nearly 2 hours making a post for a phone I do not have, will never see, and know very little about. And it amounted to what? I lost two hours of sleep and that is about all that came out of it. :(

I sincerely want to help but really, there are limits to everything my friend. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whemix:
Currently I have safestrap v3.11 as recovery but I don't have the .apk installed on my CM10 slot 1. What I do have is the safestrapv373.apk installed (apk only - not recovery)

And I think what [MENTION=1807728]brkahughes[/MENTION] is saying is that I could use safestrap v3.73 to uninstall v3.11 recovery (ie I don't have to find safestrapv311.apk)... Is this the consensus? I have searched on this topic quite a bit previously but there was nothing conclusive which says whether or not one needs to use the same exact version of safetrap to uninstall before upgrading to a new version. I am also unable to locate a copy of the safestrapv311.apk

So based on my understanding this is what I need to do:

Install Safestrap v3.73 (or latest v.3x version) apk file and busy box (in my case I already have this done)

Go to Safestrap v3.73 and select "Remove Recovery Environment" (or whatever it says to that effect.)

Once I remove Recovery from internal memory, DO NOT REBOOT but go to next step. I have nothing to boot to other than the installed Stock OS which is my case is nothing my Stock ROM slot is empty.:eek:

Now use the 3.73 app you installed to "Install Recovery Environment". It will write a new version 3.73 recovery to your internal memory.

Once finished, I are done. Power down the phone and power it back up. Watch for the Safe Strap menu screen and tap the button on the left.

I should now be in Safe Strap 3.73 as seen by the bootscreen.

Done?

Does the above look correct :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Yeah, if what Hughes is saying is correct, that you can do all of this from the 3.73 apk app installed. I know the existing recovery must be removed, FACT, before you can install another one. Will 3.73 remove your 3.11 recovery? I do not see why it cannot, I just have not confirmed it. Trying it won't hurt anything. Hughes is NOT a stupid guy, he is *very* smart, experienced, self taught, and knows what he is talking about. I never did it that way but see no reason it could not work.

Just go ahead and try the uninstall with 3.73, it either works or it doesn't. It will not hurt anything and it most likely will work. Just do it and get it over with.

If you want to play it "Super Safe", then download Safe Strap 3.11 and keep it on the SD Card in case you need it, or, if you got data in your current cm11, you can download it that way, just in case the uninstall fails,

but I doubt you will need it.

Hughes sounds pretty sure of this and it makes sense.

If that goes well, boot to Safe Strap and check the version. Sorry about the confusion, we are all saying the same thing, just in a different way. It all means the same thing. Remove installed recovery environment, install new recovery environment, then you can reboot to Safe Strap to check. :good:

[MENTION=5920431]whemix[/MENTION] I'm asking Hashcode, the inventor of SafeStrap, get back to you soon.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Good man. Hughes has connections to Hashcode. He will get you a definitive answer. Well done, Hughes! :highfive:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
[MENTION=5920431]whemix[/MENTION] Still no response from Hashcode, but it appears any 3.x version of SafeStrap will uninstall any other. Your biggest problem is this from the change log in his developer thread:

<b>SAFESTRAP v3.73 (2nd-System Bootstrap / Recovery) for XT910 UMTS_Spyder</b><br />

<br />

<li>[08/30] (3.50) If running a new CM10.1/CM10.2 ROM (08/30 or later) you *should* be able to install Safestrap and update the recovery w/o having to go back to stock. If Safestrap shows "recovery not installed" while you're on a ROM-slot, then that ROM hasn't been updated and it won't work. Swap back to stock ROM and update Safestrap from there.</li>

<li>[08/30] (3.50) Worked on stock ROM flashing and *should* work with CM10.1/CM10.2 builds on or after 08/30 *WILL NOT WORK WITH OLDER ROMs.*</li>

Apparently, if your build of 10.2 is too old, you need to replace it before fooling around with your SafeStrap! This could be why you can't install on stock slot as well!

[MENTION=1807728]brkahughes[/MENTION] - thanks for following up. I have read the change log too and that is one of the reasons why I am uncertain.

The wordings in the change log doesn't really inspire confidence... with the suggested backup plan not an option for me. :crying:

Here is my analysis so far...

I could try to get v3.11 apk to uninstall my current recovery but it may also not work since it was only after v3.5 it specifically says safestrap works on rom slots.

The change log wasn't specific on the year (assume 2013 worse case) v3.73 *should* work for me as I have CM10.1.3 stable release Build #42564 - 9/24/13 11:53 AM installed on my slot 1. However when I install v3.73 apk I see "State:Not Installed" and "Safe system:Active" as status in safestrap. The language in the change log is not clear enough to me....

What's the thought on this? "recovery not installed" = "Safe system: Not Active" or "recovery not installed" = "State:Not Installed"?

:confused: Hopefully hashcode will get some time to respond can clarify this scenario
[Motorola Droid RAZR] brkahughes:
[MENTION=4245858]Ohmster[/MENTION] The only problem as I understand it is that [MENTION=5920431]whemix[/MENTION] has an Asia retail phone and the last region specific rsdlite file for it was ICS. I haven't looked, but he was worried that he might not be able to find the fastboot file, root hack etc that he would need to restore at this late date. I think if we can track down the necessary files, he would be fine with that, he just doesn't want to get stuck or make a permabrick out of it!

I understand, Hughes. I am simply frustrated about what anyone can do about it. I searched for an Asian rom and found one. I thought we were all set. Now this Safe Strap thing. No way around it, nothing one can do, plus I am sick. Frustrating, that's all. Please forgive me. I will be back when I feel better. Fill in if you can, thank you.
