[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soloblazer:
I am the one that started this thread, and i used DROID RAZR HD Utility to get my phone updated via the last update. i have not frooze or removed any of the stock apps. and i dont think i am still rooted. I dont care about having root anymore, so just would like to flash the newest OTA>
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
My bad for not realizing that.

Are you still getting the dead Andy screen after applying the OTA? If so, then you need to go back into the recovery as you did before and then apply the OTA again. This is a two-step process, especially if you applied the OTA manually rather than taking it automatically.

It's still waiting to continue the update for the OTA. So, go back into recovery and navigate to where you stored the OTA zip file on your external SD card and then apply it again and you should be good to go.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soloblazer:
So just to be clear.

I go to settings/aboutphone/system update. It says checking for update. Update Available/ then i hit download, it downloads it. I click install now. Phone reboots and i see the android man, status bar starts going and gets about 1/3 the way and then get the red triangle in the stomach of the android man. and then phone reboots.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
At that point when it reboots, it should continue on and you should see the android picture again as it continues on installing. This is the second stage of the install and can take up to 15 minutes to complete.

Are you saying it just keeps rebooting at that point and never completes? If so, then you need to go here and follow SamuriHL's directions to the letter to get you up and running -> http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/45494-how-to-xt926-upgrade-to-kitkat-ota/
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soloblazer:
No after the android guy with the red triangle, it just does a complete reboot back into android. and then says update failed.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Were you rooted at any point in time? If so, did you flash back to stock? Just uninstalling root will not work.

Your phone must be completely stock with no evidence of it being modified in order for the OTA to work. Rooting is one thing that will modify it to where an OTA will not take.

I had explained earlier that if you rooted and/or froze/removed any system/stock apps, you must use an FXZ image to put your phone back to stock. The link I supplied you with in that previous post will give you a stock Kit Kat image to flash to your phone. That is what you must do.

the razr utility has been updated since you started this thread, to KK.

just go back to the utility post from before, and you will see the new KK version at the bottom.

use it the same way you used the old one and you will be on stock KK. its the same as taking the ota update.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phraxen:
Hi there:

I've been following this thread, as I'm in a similar situation. I'm pretty sure I'm stuck with either rooted JB or unrooted KK, but just wanted to confirm.

Here's what I have:

-Phone: Razr HD

-System version: 9.18.94.XT926 (VZW US)

-Android: 4.1.2

-Rooted

-Locked bootloader

I'd love some clarifications/confirmations on the following, if anyone has them:

-There is no way to downgrade the system version to an unlockable version (like 9.16). Not even with flashing back to stock everything with the Droid Razr HD Utility.

-There is currently no way to root KK without an unlocked bootloader.

-If I unroot (flash back to stock) and upgrade, I will lose root and likely not get it back.

-The only way for me to currently keep root is to stay on JB.

I'm not interested in custom ROMs, just root.

Thanks in advance.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadesxys:
just to make sure i got this.......

my razr also got stuck on a boot loop after accidentally applying the kitkat update. it was flashed to cricket. anyways if I'm correct i follow one of the previous links (which one is question 1). what i didn't see was one as the same version as mine(question 2) which link should i go for.

system version/ 9.1.41.xt926.Verizon.en.us

boot mode/ 10.9B

device is locked

was flashed to cricket but not rooted

i hope this is enough info willing to give more if needed
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
Since you are locked, you must go with the KK firmware. Get it from here:

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=5

It's too bad that you took the OTA. You were on a version that could have been unlocked. Shame. Now, it's too late. There is NO way to go back to a previous version with a locked bootloader, period. This means you've lost root and must now stay on KitKat.

Still, this KitKat upgrade is not all bad. There are some minor annoyances (popping noise for some people like me), but otherwise, it's a pretty darned good update it you ask me.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadesxys:
if the OTA didn't finsh......

.....does that mean i can or can't got back to JB i'm just clairifing. (i'm sure i understand that its KK or nothing) thank you again
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
No, you cannot go back to jb with a locked bootloader. If you try you'll brick your phone.

KK OTA update

I've got a Razr HD xt926 running 4.1.2 (and 9.18.94).

I rooted and installed Safestrap 3.63 (I have a locked bootloader). I've tried to flash several roms without success with the latest being ragerom. Each time I get an "error executing updater binary in zip". Not sure if my issue lies in safestrap or is it in something else? I've looked all over the internet and not really found any kind of fix or workaround.

Interestingly, the Motorola Rage logo did manage to get into the reboot (replacing the red M).

After that happened, I heard KK update was coming out so I removed safestrap and unrooted. The Rage logo was still there on boot up.

I've tried several times to get the KK update but it has failed everytime. I assumed it was because this Rage logo was still hanging on. I went to a Verizon forum and others with stock phones (never rooted) were having issues as well. Appears as if no one can get the KK OTA...and I've heard some not-so-good things about KK.

So, I rooted again and loaded safestrap and am trying to find a rom that will flash, no luck.

I guess what I want is to be able to get the KK OTA and just be happy with a phone that I cannot ever root, but I don't know how to replace the Rage logo.

Thanks for any advice.

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
For a couple of months now I have had issues with my radios. From text messages not sending, to wi-fi cutting in and out. Usually turning airplane mode on, then off fixes it. But I need a permanent solution. I updated to the latest available RUU and stayed stock to test things out. I did a factory reset in hboot. I am at my wits end with this issue.

Before I send it off to HTC again for repair, does anyone have any ideas? I am sure that my radio are screwed deep in the system. My phone was the first M7VZW to ever run a custom ROM, and FlyHalf's early test builds were far from perfect. ( don't hear me wrong, he did an amazing job getting CM on this phone and I am forever grateful ) I think that some of those early builds really screwed something up.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you've probably done most of what i could suggest, but have you tried returning to stock?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] GrayBoltWolf:
On the latest RUU right now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] nixg1:
Yeah, i'm an idiot, sorry.

If it persists across roms and an intermittent issue, could it be a hardware issue? Did you update the radios and then notice it right away?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] dkh1:
Any luck with this? I can relate. I'm running the latest radio (1.13.41.0109_2) and have terrible reception issues as well. I've tried returning to stock, re-flashing, etc. and nothing seems to work - no LTE, and a weak signal at best most of the time. If I shut the phone off for a few minutes and restart I'll get an LTE signal for about 20 minutes then it reverts back to 3G. I can send receive texts, but call quality and data is terrible.

I'm currently running CM11 and I'm S-Off, Unlocked. HBoot 1.56.0000; Radio 1.13.41.0109_2

Hi,

I have doopod 838pro, i was trying to connect it with the QPST/QXDM (qualcom diagnostic software installed on leptop) but i cannot as the phone is detected as HTC Modem and not as dignostic COM port.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Dukas:
Hi,

Im not sure you'll be able to do that.

The Qualcomm's MSM chipset on the Hermes handle the radio while the applications handled by a different processor (Samsung), unlike what is happening on feature phones.

The data-com connector is controlled by the application processor so no Q's communication is available :-(

You can buy the software from Qualcomm, this software is used for Radio network optimization and mobile test/debugs, not sure if it is available somewhere in the web.To this software you can connect any qualcomm chipset mobile and monitor all L1,l2 and L3messages, record, show and record radio measurements for HSDPA,R99 and off course connect true GPS for g data collection.Is something similar (but much more complete than the TEMS, COUEI, NETMIZER, NEMO.....)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] irvsys:
But how do we install the drivers?

The files posted contain SYS files.

These are sys files but the Modem in the Hermes has its own driver already.

If you try to do an 'update driver' and point to a directory with these sys files in it, they don't work.

I think you also need a .inf file to go with these, or alternatively, mabe there is something needed in the Hermes to start up the modem in a different way.

Any ideas?

needs an application to route diagnostic monitor data from Hermes to PC

In the older HTC PPC it is called DMRouter.ex*. This will enable an extra Port (COM) in the PC (besides the HTC USB modem). Then you can connect QPST/QXDM (runs in the PC) to that particular DM port.

I was also told that different Radio ROMs might have different implementations (or just have the DM port turned on or off).

Looks like fieldtest.ex is an application that runs on Hermes device and access the COM6 (RIL) which might be the DM port.

DMrouter routes this port to the PC.

Does anyone have this application or a similar one?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gregnash:
Fieldtest.exe calls (among other things) 6 functions in ril.dll:

ril_initialize

ril_deinitialize

ril_getequipmentstate

ril_getsignalquality (some non-hermes ril.dll don't have this)

ril_devspecific

ril_getradiopresence

MS docs say ril_devspecific is the place for custom diagnostics etc.

ril.dll has calls to cellcore and coredll, and connects to a com port for some (not sure if it's all) of its queries. Being vendor-implemented it could access anything that is allowed by hardware and by the kernel.

QXDM working on JASJAR

I managed to get QXDM work with JASJAR, for this I used the DMRouter.exe software and Qualcomm USB Host drivers (search for Axess_tel.zip). The QXDM software gets a lot of interesting information from the Qualcomm chip.

Now, the question is how can I get this information from inside the device? I would like to understand what exactly the DMRouter.exe program does, and then to communicate with the chip directly, the same way QXDM does.

Hey guys, I think I screwed up. I think that I lost my IMEI through flashing it and I didn't make a back up. It says 0 and only very few of the *# codes work, the *#7285# and #22745927 codes do absolutely nothing and the only one that I know of that works is *#*#4636#*#* which doesn't help me at all. Most programs that I use don't detect the phone correctly or my phones just downright wrecked. Example is DFS says CPS N/A in every section and Samsung MEID Repair says "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application" when I try to connect it to my phone.

I'm running CM11 4.4.1 and I had the problem when I was running a 4.3 ROM. Also I have data and I can make calls. Its just that I cant send MMS and I drop to edge over time and stay on edge until I restart.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Everyone I call is saying it'll cost $65 - $75 IF they can even fix it.

check out this post if you need help getting back to stock http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2658486

the reason why you see people keep saying you can't "Downgrade" is mostly due to the bootloader you have, and it only apply to if and only if you're downgrading from MJB bootloader to a older version of Touchwiz (ie. Touchwiz 4.3 which will obviously come with MJB, thus you can't downgrade to 4.2 or 4.1 versions of touchwiz), not AOSP. if you're on AOSP in which CM is one, yes you can go from one AOSP to another, but no one does it because most of the time newer > older =D
