Why i can skip verizon activation once i flash the firmware? :(
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
With new build I have no any issues with SD-card, but:

1. Phone can`t mount USB-drive via OTG

2. Mobile data is disappear after few reboots (fixed with replace APNS.CONF - I take it from AOSP-based BeanStalk)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
i stripped out the verizon activation process because it isn't necessary once your sim is programmed.

usb otg does work, you just need a file explorer that can handle usb otg. i use solid explorer...

none of the changes i made to the stock base affect mobile data connectivity; not sure why that's happening.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Malvarose:
Has anyone been stuck at the "Android is upgrading... Starting apps." loading screen?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Malvarose:
Well I got it to go to the homescreen now. I updated everything, removed some bloat, and gave it a reboot. Now I am getting stuck at boot logo..
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Germanese:
I had to go

Official 10 to 10.1 then applied GPE

it didn't work from unofficial 10.1 to GPE for me (Could have been bc i have no recovery installed)

Official 10 with GPE made me Crash like crazy

Official 10.1 with items uninstalled and then applied GPE got me looped.

Hope that helps
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
what were you running before you flashed this?

you should be fully upgraded to 4.4.2, either through ota or fastboot, before flashing.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Malvarose:
Yeah I flashed the 4.4.2 update through fastboot with RSD Lite 6.1.5. Everything just goes to hell after I reboot.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Germanese:
Which one did you use ? the 10.1 official 4.4.2 ?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Malvarose:
The one in the OP. So 10.1. http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8 (though now I cannot even get that to flash)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
if you want help, you need to provide more details, like what happens when you try to flash that doesn't work?

if you're using rsd lite, it will display an error message.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Germanese:
<step var="max-download-size" operation="getvar"/>

to

<!--step var="max-download-size" operation="getvar"/-->

(Do that to the Official 10.1 downloaded from that link)

Flash, (Leaving a sim any sim in)

Press okay until u get into the menu to turn Debug back on

(Do not sign into anything)

and flash GPE ontop
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Malvarose:
I know about the getvar thing. I got it to flash perfectly fine earlier.

Now I just get "Failed flashing process. 1/19 flash parititon "gpt.bin" -> Phone returned FAIL" I tried removing that, but got same thing on next item in the list.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Germanese:
uhhhh partition fail ....

need to figure out how to get a clean base again.

unlocked bootloader correct ? just making sure.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Malvarose:
Yup. Been unlocked since 4.1.1. I haven't used this phone in a long time since I got my N5. Want to give it to my brother.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Germanese:
RSD to 4.1.2 to get all the system files. I believe that is the one to use. and hopefully it fixes the partion.

and then try to go to 4.4.2 again from it.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
you're trying to flash the latest 4.4.2 183.46.10 fastboot files, correct?

the parts that come after gpt are the bootloader parts.

have you ever flashed gpt.bin or bootloader parts from fastboot files other than verizon ones?

there's no reason those partitions should fail to flash unless newer ones have been flashed at some point.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Malvarose:
I'll give it a try.

I am trying to flash that one, yes. I have previously flashed it before, and then flashed GPE. (which gave me loops) I had a custom recovery so I figured I'd just flash CM 11, but then it would just stay at the splash screen. So I went to flash the stock ROM and I get the gpt error.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Germanese:
u went 4.1.1 straight to GPE ?

You didn't go to a VZW 4.4.2 ? before GPE ?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Malvarose:
No. I said I flashed the 4.4.2 update through RSD Lite perfectly fine the first time, and then flashed GPE. But GPE resulted in loops.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Germanese:
ohhh okay.

I would try to go to 4.1.2 and etc etc as said
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Malvarose:
Just tried, same error.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
if you've flashed all the partitions previously, you really only need to flash boot and system to get back up and running.

boot looping is usually a result of not wiping data and cache.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Malvarose:
Welp. I tried just flashing boot and system, still get an error.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
from 4.4.2? what error?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Malvarose:
Yes. Fails to flash boot and system.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Germanese:
i am lost at this point...

I always was able to flash over my screw ups but this one is odd.

maybe try CM or any of the other full fledged Roms, and back to stock ?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
only thing that makes sense is your battery is too low to allow flashing.

look at your device screen as well as rsd lite window or fastboot terminal for specific error descriptions and post them please.

without more detailed information, i won't provide any further assistance.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ikromy:

Hi [MENTION=1567974]Q9Nap[/MENTION]

today, I got second hand Razr M xt907 with 4.4.2 official OTA Update,no root, and locked bootloader. Can I replace it with this one ?

by the way (out of topic) I got some issue about screen (check attachement) that's only happen in light/grey color :'( is it normal ? (super amoled issue)

thanks
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
Only Unlocked Bootloader - see OP
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Coronado is dead:
That is not normal, no. Looks like it took some shock damage from a fall.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] L3van:
so, just wanna ask,

is gsm network work with this?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
i haven't tried the gsm hack in awhile, but it should work. i removed the apks that cause issues with non-vzw sim cards.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
new build and screenshots are up in op...

-added standard aosp launcher in addition to google launcher

-updated added google play edition apps with nexus 5 4.3 apks
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] TheForceUnleashed:
Nevermind I used fastboot from terminal.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] silverqueen666:
before, i'm sorry for asking this. currently i'm on kk OTA with unlocked BL. how can i flash this? i'm noob here and i cant understand what the instructions means:crying:, all i can understand is i just flash this using rsd lite and voila you're in stock kk. am i right?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
the post with instructions that i linked in the op is as simple as i know how to make it.

there are countless tutorials on how to flash with fastboot and/or rsd lite, so if you don't understand my instructions, maybe you can find other tutorials that make more sense to you.

if you're going to tinker with your phone, knowing how to use fastboot/rsd lite is a necessity, as you can recover your device if/when it bricks.

this is not stock kk; this is modified stock with the features listed in the op.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jrk190:
When I flashed this, wifi was broken, and so was... Pretty much everything else. What did I screw up so bad?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
well, you've provided absolutely no information for me to able to help, but my guess is that you flashed this without already being on stock 4.4.2.

there's a link to the official fxz in the op...
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jrk190:
I'm sorry, That's all I could gather. I can't get the original to flash. At first I removed getvar, and now I get sbl1 errors. Good solid job you've done, It's my stupid self who put this phone like this in the first place. Just have to figure out what I'm doing wrong in RSD.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
i'd recommend trying to flash without editing the xml. the cfc xml works fine without any modifications.

if you're still having issues, try the 1ff xml, and then wipe data in recovery.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jrk190:
Still getting an error about sbl1...
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
listing the exact error would be very helpful.

strange that gpt flashes fine but sbl1 doesn't.

you can try flashing with fastboot also; the fastboot binaries for all major platforms are included.

if you need further assistance, please be as detailed as possible, including all error messages in rsd lite/fastboot and errors listed on your device screen.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jrk190:
Okay, I finally got my M working... is there a way to get the boot splash that says "Google" on the downgraded JB? I finally got stable CM11 on it :D
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
flash logo.bin.

new build is up, very minor changes.

-replaced moto e pebble wallpaper with razr m splash wallpaper

-added missing library for google wallet
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] silverqueen666:
thank u so much, now i'm running GPE. i just flash it via rsd lite :plike i did when i bricked my phone before (sbf flash)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] chuck solid:
thanks a lot for this!!! now that the BL is unlocked it's nice not having all of that bloatware!!!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] xKroniK13x:
Running this currently, pretty snappy!

I did find out that you can't flash straight from JB to this, even if you have all the default KK files in the directory. You must first be on KK stock and then flash this.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
you can replace logo.bin and system.img in the official fxz with the gpe images and change the md5sum values in the xmls if you want to do a full flash all at once...
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] xKroniK13x:
Good to know, I'll probably package one up like that and keep it just in case I ever need to restore.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ezknives:
Any way to get this flashing with twrp as I have no access to a PC?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
no, unfortunately there is no mobile odin like utility for motorola devices.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] L3van:
i'm successfully flashed this, did towelroot & motopocalypse, flash twrp from dhacker,

and my AP Fastboot indicates "Unlocked, status code 3"

but, that warning about "unlocked bootloader" never showed up every time i boot/restart ,etc.

is that normal? did my bl truly unlocked?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] xKroniK13x:
If you flashed to this, you wont see that warning. And if you flashed to this, it means you're unlocked. You're good.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Prohyper:
Yes your bootloader is unlocked you have flashed another logo.bin that's why you can't see the previous one which contains bootloader unlocked warning.

For some reason I can't get Pandora to install from the play store or otherwise
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] xKroniK13x:
Pandora is working fine for me, infact it's streaming to chromecast from my phone as I type this. Maybe try downloading an APK from somewhere and installing it that way.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] allenrb2:
I just tried placing in the system priv-app folder, and luckily that worked. I tried installing from the play store, and with a downloaded apk. I'm just glad I got it figured out
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Prohyper:
Just flash the attached logo.bin in ap fastboot this will replaced the current warning logo into google logo

fastboot flash logo logo.bin
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] allenrb2:
After figuring out how get Pandora installed, it's been running just fine. Thanks for the work on this rom.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
no idea why you had issues with pandora; i am able to install from play store just fine...
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] tronjojo:
rsd help

I'm sorry for this question, but i'm not sure where exactly to find the answer.

I only recently unlocked my BL so i'm not too familiar with all the flashing on a razr m, but i do not have a custom recovery installed. I'm more accustomed to the .sbf files on my old moto defy.

I'm on the latest ota 4.4.2 and want to flash the google play ed.

As i understand it, i should be able to flash using rsd and the .zip file i donwloaded? or do i need to extract the folder to c:\?

I also was trying to follow these instructions:

rsd lite notes:

two processes you may want to comment out or delete are the recovery flashing and the wiping of userdata.

to comment out an operation, add "!--" to the beginning, and "--" to the end of an operation.

examples:

<step operation="flash" partition="recovery" filename="recovery.img" MD5="9A3EA0D90080200826EE7B50164012BF" />

<step operation="erase" partition="userdata" />

<!--step operation="flash" partition="recovery" filename="recovery.img" MD5="9A3EA0D90080200826EE7B50164012BF" /-->

<!--step operation="erase" partition="userdata" /-->

but i can't find the recovery line in the two .xml files in the folder.

any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
If extracting the zip to c drive was necessary, i would have specified that in the instructions.

Extract wherever and navigate to the xml file from rsd lite.

Logic dictates that if there is no line in the xml referencing recovery, and no recovery image included, you don't have to worry about it.

Hope this helps.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] tronjojo:
one more follow up. if i rsd the .zip file, will it erase all my user data? Do i need to edit the .xml inside the .zip (<!--step operation="erase" partition="userdata" /-->) to avoid erasing user data?

thanks
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] romma1:
Do people like this rom? Are there any serious bugs that I should be aware of?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] qw3rty3:
I flashed the stock Verizon 4.4.2 with rsd. Then this and twrp from dhacker. Then used twrp to flash the latest gummy ROM from dhacker, and PA 4.4.4 gapps.

Redid the GSM hack to use a ATT sim. It seemed to work but I get no GSM signal.

WiFi keeps dropping too. So I have no functional phone today.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
why are you posting here?

once you flashed to gummy, any issues you're having ceased to have anything to do with this rom.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] qw3rty3:
The issue had nothing to do with gummy. I think it was related to the 4.4.2 bootloader. Everything seems to be working great now. Thank you, you were a tremendous help.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
If you want help, post your issues in the proper thread.

you seemed to be implying that this rom somehow had something to do with your issues.

it didn't.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Tech_Savvy:
hi...might be stupid but...I'm wondering if i have to remove the lines with "var" r "oem" like i had to in the official xml? thanks

edit...nevermind i already did..works great. btw many thanks!!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
New build is up with some additions from the L developer preview, details are in the op.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
Just flashed GPEL with RSD-Lite. Smooth process.

So far, working fine.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
How do I change my APN settings. When I go through Settings-More-Mobile networks-Access Point Names and then press Verizon Internet, the individual settings are grayed out and I can't edit them.

I'm stuck on 1x and trying to get 4g back.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Prohyper:
Try this app..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...akker&pcampaignid=APPU_Nz-wU7WwHqTD0QXGzYHQBQ
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] xKroniK13x:
You shouldn't need to edit the APN, it should be on stock settings, as this is just the stock ROM, with no bloat essentially.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
Yeah vzw software doesn't allow editing apns, but that isn't the issue. Being stuck on 1x usually just means you're in an area with no data signal.

From a data connectivity standpoint, this rom is no different than stock.

Were you fully upgraded to 4.4.2 before flashing this?

Are you trying to use the device on a non-vzw network?

Try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher

It will allow you to create a shortcut to the hidden radio settings where you can toggle network connection type.

It's under all activities > settings > phone info.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
Thanks for thinks and suggestions guys.

Neither app worked. The first just figures out what the settings should be. It doesn't let you edit.

On the second, I could find the hidden radio settings in Phone Info. It did crash in a few places and I did see a choice for US Cellular or something else.

I'm on VZW and I'm not getting 4g in known 4g areas.

I also went back to stick, though that shouldn't matter.

Yes, I was in stock 4.4.2 before I flashed this.

Removed an reinstalled my sim too.

Going to backup, wipe and reinstall my SD card and then I guess RSD back to stock, then reflash gpel.

If that doesn't work, then it's time for a new sim.

edit: RSD gpel, still on 3g. Shut down, pulled sd card, reboot without card, still on 3g.

Pulled SIM and sd card, reboot. shut down, put everything back in, reboot. Still on 3g.

I'll try a new sim tomorrow. Thanks again for all of the suggestions.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
Okay. Got this to work on stock, which I know, shouldn't make a difference. I can get just LTE, but not LTE/CDMA/Evdo. Pretty sure that's a sim issue, but still open to suggestions.

EDIT- New sim today. All better

I'm going to move this to the 3g thread in the Help section since is probably not a gpe/ gpel issue.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] danbest82:
If I'm on an AOSP ROM now, KitKat 4.4.4, is it ok to flash this via RSDlite or Fastboot? Or should I restore to store 4.4.2 first? Thanks.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] xKroniK13x:
Restore to 4.4.2 first as this uses many components from the stock ROM.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Tech_Savvy:
people!!! whoever reads this thread just wondering if they should try it...please do...I've been using this rom for a week now it and it's smooth and impressive!! I've got it xposed, tweaked animation settings and even more debloated and this is performing exceptional well...thanks so much [MENTION=1567974]Q9Nap[/MENTION] !!!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] m52 power!:
So I have this on my wifes phone and everything is super awesome great, EXCEPT that once or twice a day she gets a BSOD (black screen of death) where the power button won't wake the phone, like it's stuck in deep sleep. It's actually pretty serious because even pressing and holding power + vol up and down will not reset the phone. After it sits for around 5 minutes it will reboot finally an she can use it. Any fix or recommendation? I've had this before on my nexus 5 with experimental kernels so could it be a kernel issue?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
thanks for reporting this issue; i don't use my m as a daily driver, so i haven't tested long-term performance.

just to be clear, you haven't experienced this issue on any other roms?

the boot image is pure stock, so it isn't a kernel issue for sure.

anyone else experiencing this problem?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] xKroniK13x:
My GFs is doing this on stock rooted. Found the quickest way to wake it up is calling it to make the screen wake up. I know its not ideal but its better than having to wait until it decides to work.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
I've had this on most Roms but only in the test build of CM11 since the new kernel came out.

In the past I've changed

System/bin/mpdecision to mpdecision.bak

Or you can download

Fauxclock 123 from the Playstore and toggle mpdecision that way.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
new build is up, details and screenshots are in the op.

-added L nav bar

how do i update my current gpe rom..can i flash it on top of my other? could u guide me to instruction? thanks
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
yah just flash over it.

wipe cache and dalvik-cache.

i'd wipe data also, but it probably isn't necessary. if it bootloops on bootanimation, then do.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Tech_Savvy:
Could i just flash system to keep all my information intact?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
Still need to do this through adb or rsd not recovery?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] cadavar:
Yes, I am having this identical issue. It seems the phone doesn't respond to power key, after hitting the key a few times it will reboot. There are no error messages on screen and nothing apparent that seems to be causing this. I don't think there is any app compatibility issues either, since I don't have any major tweaking ones installed. I've never experienced this issue before on any other rom. The BL is unlocked and TWRP 2.7 installed.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
Look at post 113
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] cadavar:
Which mpdecision file did you use to replace it with?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
Sorry. I should've been more specific: rename mpdecision to mpdecision.bak
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] cadavar:
Thanks, I did that. It seems to be stable now.

Overall this ROM is very stable and I can confirm it works with the GSM hack using Radiocomm and KK baseband.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
ok, new and probably final build is up.

-fixed modem stats service crash

-changed default wallpaper bg to black
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Coronado is dead:
I installed the latest upload, and then installed supersu because I prefer it over superuser. However, once I rebooted the phone, neither appeared in the app drawer anymore whereas before the reboot I had both in the drawer. Itried to install supersu again. No luck. Any idea what would cause that?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
I haven't used super su in awhile, but sounds like maybe you didn't do all the steps in the super su settings too remove the existing superuser, or didn't choose to install it as a system app.

There's also the flashable zip method you could try...
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Coronado is dead:
Its weird. I did a complete wipe and then flashed this in RSD. Supersu was still there. Does it install something in data? Don't mean to get that off track, just seems like an odd issue. If I leave them both installed it runs fine.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
This really is more of a question for the super su thread; as i said i haven't used it in some time, but I'd try the various options in settings to remove old superuser and install new as system app. It's not a good idea to leave then both installed.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] m52 power!:
So with mpdecision renamed to mpdecision.bak on my wife's phone she had 2 sod's today still. Any other suggestions?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
I'd flash back to stock and see if it still happens.

If it still happens on stock, it may be a hardware problem.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] cadavar:
I'm afraid I spoke to soon and that did not work. I am still getting the issue of the phone not waking up and restarting at least once a day. It can not be a hardware problem since its happening to quite a few users.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
i've heard of a new soak test for razr m, so hopefully it will be fixed.

if it's a general issue not specific to this rom, it doesn't belong in this thread.

there should be a thread in the q&a section; if not, you can start one...
