No I didn't realize that would work. I can try that as soon as I figure out how to get my battery juiced enough to get that far. Right now, As soon as it comes back from dead state the phone automatically goes in to startup sequence and then begins the bootloop again. I need enough uninterrupted time for the battery to get some juice otherwise I can do nothing. I may just have to disassemble and manually charge via wires or something for 30 mins or so. May have to put that engineering degree to use >.<
[RAZR HD General] Mr-Glass:
I think I would get a factory cable (not oem cable that came with your phone) or dongle http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-Adapters-motadapt.htm instead of tearing the phone up.. just a thought
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Yup, I've got a factory cable and 3 adapters on hand for that very reason.
[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:
if i plug 3 adapters together and connect it to my pc with a factory cable, can i unlock my bootloader on KK? :p
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Totally! And root, as well. But you must sacrifice a chicken to a goat before flashing your bootloader. LMAO
[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:
i knew i was doing something wrong, i kept trying to feed the goat to the chicken lol
[RAZR HD General] qqjjz:
Hey I'm an engineer! I gotta tear stuff up but I'll try anything that is an easier path first.
[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:
the adapter bypasses the battery and powers the phone directly. so it doesnt matter if you even had no battery installed it would flash.

Well power doesn't seem to be a problem anymore but when going into recovery from AP fastboot, I still get the red M logo. The phone eventually just reboots and again, same logo.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Extract the recovery_target.img from the OTA zip file and flash it with fastboot in AP Fastboot mode.

fastboot flash recovery recovery_target.img

Then reboot into recovery and install the OTA.
[RAZR HD General] qqjjz:
Do this using RSDLite? IF the OTA.zip you are referring to is the file i dowloaded ota then I cannot access it, or at least I dont know how from my limited menu options (power + up/down volume)
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Uh, no to both. You have to open the OTA zip file on a PC, extract the recovery_target.img file from it, and flash it using the fastboot.exe from a command line while the phone is in AP Fastboot mode.

fastboot flash recovery recovery_target.img
[RAZR HD General] qqjjz:
Oh oh I see. fastboot.exe. I'm using Droid Razr HD Utility 1.21 which does the same thing, but just prettier, no? My battery died again so I'll have to take this on another day. Will keep the thread updated though!

That's usually the case, yes. Once the FXZ is released, it'll be simpler still. Use my universal script and call it a day no matter what you're on, locked or not. LOL
[RAZR HD General] y0himba:
Quick question: Why does the wireless hotspot need to be re-hacked? I am using Verizon, and the hotspot is free with my plan. I have the 4GB data package.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
For those on unlimited it's not.
[RAZR HD General] GilmourD3:
I have exactly two complaints about he KitKat update and they're both fairly minor.

The bigger complaint s the lack of the ring/vibrate toggle on the lockscreen. Seems like a really easy fix with lockscreen widgets but NOBODY has made a widget that has a clock, the toggle, and tells you your next alarm like the old lockscreen.

The other one is kinda stupid... LOL I preferred the old click when locking or unlocking the phone.
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Lol, I had the same "issue" with the lock sound, that dumb wet fart sound when locking and unlocking. An annoyance that I just disabled in sound settings. All is good again.

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

Exactly what SamuriHL said, I'm grandfathered in to the old Verizon unlimited data plan and the hotspot isn't included. I'm north of 80GB data usage a month for 30 bones a month. Even hit 122GB in January, lol.

[RAZR HD General] GilmourD3:
I like having the sound as sometimes I'm not actually looking at my phone as I'm locking and unlocking. I have some weird habits. LOL

Are you tethering to your computer or something? I don't think I used that much bandwidth on my home network when I was running a TeamFortress 2 server on the Linux box under my desk!

Lol, I would like a sound myself, just not the wet fart sound. I liked the old JB sound, sounded more like a door locking.

Yep, I wifi tether to my home computer, I don't pay for home internet. I also use Plex For Android to stream downloaded movies from my computer to my phone (which is then plugged into my HDTV via the HDMI cable). And I use either Pandora or Google Play Music to stream from the cloud in my car. The gf also uses my wifi hotspot to wifi video chat with her sisters since she doesn't have unlimited data and I refuse to get house internet, lol.

[RAZR HD General] Alex_GP:
After upgrading to KK from 9.18 via official OTA, my headset button no longer works. I worked on JB, but does nothing on KK... any ideas?
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
The obvious answer to these kinds of things is if you're having issues, an FDR may be in order to give a clean start. Yes, it sucks. Yes, it's a PITA. But between version updates it's sometimes a good idea.

Well at least not so far away.
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
So in "Motorola time" it'll be to the XT925 sometime just after Xmas.
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Anyone else having issues installing apps from the play store after doing the KK upgrade? I keep getting "error code: 961" when trying to install from the play store. Is the play store still having problems, is it something with the play store app now that we've upgraded, or is it something to do with using the RSD Lite method and going from 9.18.94 to 9.30.1 version track?

...Just trying to come up with possible reasons why I can't get any apps to update or install.

Installing using adb works fine ( as of last night anyway), but I don't think it's possible to get the .apk files for play store apps, and it's a bit tedious to have to install apps at home instead of on the fly in the app store... :-/
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
It's not the rsd. I'd say the data for the playstore app could be corrupt. Wipe the app data for it and try again.
[RAZR HD General] jimmalachi:
Everyone else still has the old JB stock Email app right? I was really hoping to be able to use the updated one...
[RAZR HD General] open1your1eyes0:
FYI guys, for anyone having trouble getting the KitKat OTA I have written a tool that will allow you to get back on the OTA path from ANY single ROM or even if you're stuck at fastboot/soft-bricked.

Hope it helps. :)

[TOOL] Preparing for KitKat: Return to OTA Path from any ROM
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Yeah, everything I read online said to clear the data for the play store app, or clear the data for the google services framework... neither seemed to fix the problem. Didn't think it was the RSD method, since apps were updating fine yesterday and this morning. Don't know why I put that down, just trying to think of things that have changed on my phone in the past 24 hours I guess.

EDIT: Working again. Had to:

- Clear cache in Download Manager

- Clear cache in Google Play Services

- Clear cache in Google Play Store

Went and tried again after clearing all three, apps downloading again.

Anyone notice battery stats like this after the update? I took the OTA actually over the air, not by flashing it or anything. I've never had Android OS use up this much battery since ICS years ago. My screen on time is only and hour, too. Also what could be causing Google Play services to be that high? Everything under the settings says low battery use. I'm just stumped and about to install BetterBatteryStats unless one of you fine gentlemen/women can help me out first.
[RAZR HD General] iBolski:
Well, I was doing fine when I took the OTA the first time, but then I was having issues with blue tooth and wifi working together, so I first did a nandroid backup and then a factory data reset and that cleared up my blue tooth and wifi issue. But, before doing the FDR, my battery life was pretty good.

Then I decided to try and go back to my nandroid backup (since I had some custom mods installed) and now, my battery life has been like what you see.

I have a lot of the syncing turned off, I'm using Smartactions to do a lot of things for me, and yet my battery life since nandroiding back has been awful.

I'm about ready to flash back to stock 9.30.1 and then do a FDR and then take the OTA and see if that helps because initially under KK, I was getting just as good of battery life as I was under JB.

You might want to try doing an FDR and see if that helps. Of course, backup what you can before you do that (any text messages, etc).
[RAZR HD General] killrhythm09:
If either of you are using Hangouts, I know the recent update has been a huge battery drain for some people.
[RAZR HD General] iBolski:
I don't use hangouts, but I read that as well. Mine has been the same as the other - Play Services which is strange as I have most of, it not all of it, turned off.
[RAZR HD General] cmajpwc:
I use Hangouts but haven't noticed anything about it. Where did you hear about that? I checked and can't find anything on the Google Play reviews.

Regardless, I'm going to try a FDR within the next few days. The weird thing is, while the battery stats remain roughly the same, the battery drain from day to day changes. For example, today it drained really bad. Two days ago into yesterday I lasted nearly 36 hours with fantastic idle.

Hopefully this gets resolved with that. If it doesn't, perhaps we'll get one last maintenance update that fixes it along with the Bluetooth/WiFi bug. That's honestly hit or miss with me though. Pretty weird.
[RAZR HD General] Mr-Glass:
Droid Life had an article earlier today.. http://www.droid-life.com/2014/05/2...ve-amount-of-battery-google-working-on-a-fix/

Not sure that is the issue for everyone however..
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
This sounds like the exact problem I was having yesterday. Try clearing the cache in Download Manager, Google Play Services, and Google Play Store - all under settings-->apps-->all. My problem (and it sounds like yours as well) was that my phone was attempting to download updates for system apps ALL DAY and failing. Clearing the cache deleted all of the corrupted saved data. Everything has been working great since.

Thanks to [MENTION=2812087]SamuriHL[/MENTION] for the idea!

EDIT: I also noticed my phone was heating up like a mother all day as well. Read 120F or higher most of the day - I'm guessing due to the continuous processing attempting to download updates and failing.

...
[RAZR HD General] cmajpwc:
My cache is at 6.00kb now for each of these three things. Is that correct? Every time I've cleared cache before it resets to 0. Just making sure. Hopefully this helps.
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Yeah 6.0kb sounds about right, the problem is it is a corrupt 6.0kb. Gotta clear it and let the apps get their 6.0kb back however they get it (hopefully not corrupted this time).

It may benefit to restart your phone after clearing the cache for all the apps, too.
[RAZR HD General] cmajpwc:
How did you clear it? I try clearing data and cache but it never drops below 6kb.
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
Sometimes it clears to zero, other times it clears but immediately gets its 6.0kb back. After doing all three try downloading an app from the play store and see if it installs.

..Sorry for the delays getting back to you - I've been flashing new boot images from fastboot mode and rely on my phone's wireless tether to get on the interwebs... Flashed with a wrong command and couldn't get out of fastboot for a while, lol.
[RAZR HD General] cmajpwc:
Well, I was able to download and install Facebook Messenger and the FitBit dashclock extension. So it would appear that it works. We'll see tomorrow after I get a fresh charge and the battery stats reset. So far it seems good- I have had about 45 minutes of screen on time since clearing it and the battery has dropped about 10%. This includes streaming YouTube video, previewing play music, and also using Google Now/Chrome to look up some stuff. I also never noticed the phone getting hot but I could easily have missed that. Its not as pressed up against my leg in my shorts versus my jeans. Haha. So I appreciate your help, hopefully it works.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Nevermind....it didn't work. We need a freaking FXZ for this damn phone.
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
So I was going through the same problems today that I was having with the play store the other day - apps not installing, play store stalling out, errors of all kinds being reported to me. Just before I threw my phone across the room I decided to do a little bit of research to see if I could find a solution online.

Turns out I didn't have the most updated version of the play store installed on my phone. I think I was at either 4.6.16 or 4.6.17. I sideloaded the newest version 4.8.19 with adb after downloading the apk which I navigated to from the below link:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...issions-bigger-buttons-and-more-apk-download/

After installing the new version everything is working as it should when downloading apps from the play store.

EDIT: Surprising I was able to get this done correctly being it's after 2am now. SamuriHL can verify my computer skillz ain't the best post-midnight, lol.

Such a poorly written article. Horrible. When I read articles like that one I tend to not believe them. Hope they are correct though.
[RAZR HD General] neyes:
"very shortly" would imply today; pending at any moment, as opposed to 'soon', which could stretch for a couple days. "It's gonna" would also seem to suggest first-hand relation to the suggested event, instead of simple knowledge of something which may occur.

OK this is an over-analysis of the post but c'mon man, why drop a nugget like that and dip without elaborating any.
[RAZR HD General] LifeAsADroid:
I believe that's how it works, though I'm not sure if one needs to unroot first before taking an OTA. I've always used VooDoo OTA Rootkeeper app to "unroot" before an OTA then "reinstall root" after the OTA is done.

According to sources, VooDoo won't reinstall root on any OTA 4.2+, but you still might be able to use it to "unroot" prior to taking the OTA if the OTA doesn't work while you're rooted.

No link, but the thread is titled Just A Warning and was two threads down from this one the last I checked. Not sure if that thread is user error or not, but it was a bootloader that was claimed to be locked up from the last Verizon OTA.

Sorry it took so long to reply. Between work and Kerbal Space Program I don't have the time for XDA like I used to.
[RAZR HD General] Darbness:
That post is incorrect, as you would see if you read the replies in the thread.

You get a locked status reported on the fastboot screen if you try to flash a downgraded gpt partition on a stock firmware.
[RAZR HD General] skeevydude:
Seeing as how quite a few replies in that thread are MINE stating exactly what you just posted here, I know that already (you should actually read who posted what before trying to make me look stupid). Apparently that user is unable to flash any gpt partition since the VZW update, and like I said, I'm not sure if it's a user error or actually locked back up....
[RAZR HD General] killrhythm09:
Granted I have no way to know for sure without physically using that guy's phone, but I'm 99.9% confident he wasn't re-locked. He just had a problem that he didn't know how to fix at first and gave up too quickly.

Everything Dan Rosenberg posted about the bootloader unlock exploit made it sound like something that was impossible to undo.
[RAZR HD General] skeevydude:
I agree, but still, it's better safe than sorry in regards to carrier updates, especially American carriers, and unlocked bootloaders, regardless of the phone or manufacturer.
[RAZR HD General] Darbness:
I wasn't trying to make you look stupid, sorry if it came out like that.

I believe Dan said that there where 2 efuses, if one was blown then the bootloader returns an unlocked bootloader and if both were blown then zmit returns a locked bootloader. The problem with Moto blowing the second to "relock" exploited phones is that it would also relock xt925s that are allowed to be unlocked and development editions.

That would cost Moto Alot of money in lawsuits/customers.

I will not lie, before the Droid Razr HD, I had a Motorola Droid X and I had swore off Motorola entirely because of how horrible that device was. I loved my Razr HD a lot, and I think it is still a great phone to this day.
