So, for those device owners that rooted with Towelroot and unlocked their BLs recently, I wonder what the upcoming VZW OTA (presumably to 4.4.4 and patching of the root exploit) will mean. Should this group take the upcoming OTA or not?
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
It doesn't mean a damn thing. Once the bootloader is unlocked, you're good to go. You're done with root exploits. And personally I recommend that unlocked users generally wait for the FXZ and apply it using my KEEP DATA script and then reapply custom recovery and flash supersu for root. Done. But, you're all impatient and will screw around trying to get the update to work and kill yourselves to make it happen. LMAO
[RAZR HD General] Not_A_Dev:
Sounds good. Thanks.
[RAZR HD General] cmh714:
Not_A_Dev how did you get LS running???? I couldnt get it to boot up on TWRP and dont really feel like switching to CWM
[RAZR HD General] Not_A_Dev:
BL on my own device was unlocked a while ago (last year when motopocalypse came out), but to flash KK, I switched from TWRP to CWM, because that was the only custom recovery that worked with KK. The latest TWRP works with KK though. And the most recent iteration of LS is on 4.4.4 already. Runs beautifully on xt926.
[RAZR HD General] bmwh0r3:
Install cyanogenmod and say goodbye to vzw bloat.
[RAZR HD General] cmh714:
I thin you misunderstood.....I cant get LiquidSmooth to load in TWRP for some reason.....thats my normal DD

argh
[RAZR HD General] Not_A_Dev:
Which version of TWRP are you using?
[RAZR HD General] cmh714:
dhackers 2710 for KK
[RAZR HD General] Not_A_Dev:
Well, that appears to be the version that works with KK. I would suggest that you ask in the LS Forum over on G+, as they don't have a dev thread for xt926 here.
[RAZR HD General] cmh714:
TY May try that....yea I have dhackers Gummy going its really good except for wifi, which is weak
[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:
what do you mean by "they dont have a dev thread for xt926 here"?

dhacker has a thread in original development for kk cwm and twrp here.
[RAZR HD General] cmh714:
well then I need to look more :) TY
[RAZR HD General] Not_A_Dev:
No, I'm referring to the LiquidSmooth custom ROM for xt926 devices.
[RAZR HD General] bweN diorD:
ahh, my bad.
[RAZR HD General] cmh714:
Point me to a current/live/active thread if you have one please...tia
[RAZR HD General] Not_A_Dev:
Like I said before, the LS devs (for some unknown reason) don't have a thread for xt925/26 here on XDA which is why I provided you with the link to their G+ page, where they discuss every facet of this ROM ad nauseum.
[RAZR HD General] cmh714:
Yup Got it :) bwen_droid got me confuzed... all good :)

Random reboots after flashing kitkat 4.4.2 rooted + unlocked

Hi,

I was on a locked 9.18.79 device.

managed to flash Kitkat using Samurai script generator KEEP DATA script.

rooted using towel root, unlocked using motocalispe APK.

flashed TWRP 2710.

on the first day it was great, than random reboots began.

I factory reset the phone, which helped for a day, than again, random resets.

im freezing a few programs using Titanium backup pro,

but didnt delete anything.

what should i do to solve this bug?!?
[RAZR HD General] bmwh0r3:
I have no issues but then again I flashed cm11 as soon as I unlocked the bl
[RAZR HD General] lloydsw:
It is humorous to sit back & watch this unfold!
[RAZR HD General] iBolski:
Are you saying you froze apps and then it began to reboot? If so, I would go back and start unfreezing apps one by one to see if the rebooting stops. Sounds like you froze the wrong app.

Remember, under KitKat, things have changed and what you could have frozen under JB may no longer be a good idea under KK depending on what other apps depend on that one app.

In Android, apps are different from regular programs on a PC. Apps can provide services to other apps, and freezing one app could mean another app that depends on the frozen app could cause havoc with the phone, especially if another system app needs the frozen app.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
That depends on your viewpoint. Usually I'm heavily involved in trying to get them to a point where they can take the OTA. LOL.

It's actually quite simple, in reality. Take the FXZ for your current version, generate scripts with the RSD Script Generator, flash the keep data script, then install the OTA. Flash custom recovery, root,???, profit. LMAO :)
[RAZR HD General] Influxvisions:
Did anyone know if this root works on droid maxx running stock 4.4.4?
[RAZR HD General] talkl:
Im going to unfreeze everything, to give it a test, although im skeptic.

will let you know what happens
[RAZR HD General] iBolski:
I can almost guarantee you that you froze an app that is needed and that is what is causing your random rebooting. Nothing to be skeptical about because that usually is the issue from what many have seen.

Again, a list of what apps you froze could be helpful too. You definitely have to be careful freezing system apps as many other apps require the services they provide, including other system apps. That could be the issue, depending on what you froze.

Let us know how things turn out and a list of what you froze would help us identify your issue if that indeed is the problem.

If you really must freeze apps, I would suggest you go to this thread -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2756195

People are listing what they've frozen that hasn't caused any issues.

Also, instead of freezing an app, again use the Greenify module. This ensure the apps never comes out of wakelock, but unlike freezing, if you need the app for some reason or another, you can just run it. As long as it's in the foreground running, Greenify leaves it alone. Once it no longer is in focus, Greenify will wait to see if it stays that way for a set period of time and then hibernates it, not allowing it to run again unless it's brought back to the foreground.

Freezing an app makes it unable to execute, which could cause issues if other apps depend on it.
[RAZR HD General] bmwh0r3:
Other than dhackers cm11 builds are there any roms out there we can flash?
[RAZR HD General] Jaysp656:
So far I know of these Roms that are being developed to run on 3.4 kernel

CM11 Unofficial: http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/msm8960/

NexesqueKK 0.01: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...2-droid-nexesque-for-razr-hd-beta-442-builds/ I saw on DroidRZR.com that there was a test for the 3.4 kernel but my attempts to flash it failed. Others have the same so I'd not try this one yet

Beanstalk Nightly (Kitstalk): http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/35880-rom442kit-katunofficalxt926-beanstalk/ flashed the 6-23 one on my phone.. Seems to be working

[RAZR HD General] HaggisIV:
So i went through all of the steps but I need a few more details (sorry I am a complete noob on this topic). After running the two apk's and getting everything to function correctly, do I need to get CWM? If so, how exactly do I go about that process? (Sorry if these are really basic questions I just want to make sure I don't mess anything up with my phone)

Thanks in advance

Buzzer Beater. Was always iffy about rooting and unlocking the BL on my phone. Glad I waited. Much thanks!!!

[RAZR HD General] error28:
Worked perfectly on my VZW XT926.

The KK OTA bricked my phone so I had to flash the SBF. After that I just ran towelroot and motopocalypse and I was rooted and unlocked in a few seconds.
[RAZR HD General] cooklio:

This does not work on the consumer edition xt1080 correct? I tried it but had no luck.

Ummmm, you're posting in the RAZR HD section and wondering if it works on a completely different phone? Let me answer that for you. NO.

[RAZR HD General] cooklio:
Ok

On Google, the link that led me here said RAZR HD ANNND MAXX..... so excuse my ignorance please.

They meant RAZR HD MAXX which is a larger battery version of the HD.
[RAZR HD General] fariddergal:
hello what did you used to unlock and root your Razr HD verizon XT926 kk 4.4.2?

Is your GSD working fine?

Currently I have the kk 4.4.2 but i am facing several issues, fast dormancy batery drain, random reboots etc. I think this unloock could unlook GSM

could you please support?
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Different kind of unlock. You're talking about a radio unlock with the GSM stuff. We're talking about a bootloader unlock. Something I wish everyone with one of these phones would do so as to avoid future issues.
[RAZR HD General] meatpuppet007:
Find the motopocolypse. Apk in this thread worked for me
[RAZR HD General] MunchNBeaver:
ok, ran towel. ran moto. when i reboot it goes to Warning. Bootloader unocked. I have to hold the power button to get it to boot regular. Did I mess up? After it booted, I then used recovery helper to install twrp. It rebooted into the Warning yet again.

Am I doing something wrong? I followed word for word.

Thanks

[RAZR HD General] thewraith420:
How long did you let it sit at the unlocked bootloader screen? Kk should boot but anyway since you are unlocked you can boot into recovery with the 3 finger salute or if recovery I'd still stock you can boot to Fastboot and flash a recovery
[RAZR HD General] MunchNBeaver:
The first time i just let it sit there, it would flash on and off. Eventually just booted up regularly. I used RASHR to flash clockworkmod 6.0.1.3 and rom manager verifies it.

I did the 3 finger salute, clicked recovery, and got the WARNING screen again.
[RAZR HD General] RikRong:
Not sure what you are worried about. That is the normal boot logo that shows up after you unlock the BL. Once the BL is unlocked, that warning message replaces the Moto logo.
[RAZR HD General] MunchNBeaver:
what i'm saying is, i reboot into recovery, i get the warning logo. then it sits there, and goes into regular boot after 3 or 4 minutes. i doesn't go into recovery. i can get into where it says fastboot, recvoery, etc etc. then i click to go down to recovery and the WARNING appears
[RAZR HD General] bmwh0r3:
Did you flash cwm or twrp?
[RAZR HD General] thewraith420:
Sounds like the recovery didn't flash correctly I'd try flashing it with a pc via fastboot
[RAZR HD General] MunchNBeaver:
unsure how to do that. is there a guide for razr m and how to use it? i downloaded the adt software that come packaged with fastbook sdk, just not sure how to push it.

if you could direct me into the right area or know the simple procedure, it would be greatly appreciated.
[RAZR HD General] RikRong:
You'll still get that boot logo when you boot into recovery. Are you letting it load into recovery or just resetting as soon as you see the logo? If it's sitting for a long time, then I agree with Wraith, you need to re-flash.
[RAZR HD General] TravisJohn82:
I have used it. Works good. No problems here
[RAZR HD General] MunchNBeaver:
I used Rashr to flash clockworkmod.

i choose reboot to recovery, i the the warning. sits there. then boots normal. then i try the 3 finger external, click down to recovery, then up and it gives me the warning again, sits there. then boots.

i even tried to reset it from settings, factory reset, and it went to warning, then booted normal again, nothing changed. Not sure where i went wrong.

i don't know how to use fastboot for the phone. is there a possible link or walkthrough someone can point me to so i can flash cwm from it and try? i tried to remove the warning with an app i downloaded from here, but it connected to phone, then just sat there.

EDIT: I just flashed with adb. found a spot, says it wrote to it. gonna try it now. wish me luck

Yeah, no luck. I do the 3 finger method. down once to recovery. then up to select, warning bootloader unlocked. sits there. then boots regular. I can't even reset it factory.

Any ideas where i messed up?
[RAZR HD General] RikRong:
Make sure you re-boot directly back into recovery, so the install scripts complete. Otherwise, you will still have the stock recovery. Also, I suggest TWRP, as many people have been getting issues trying to flash ROMs with CWM.
[RAZR HD General] thewraith420:
Fastboot recovery flashing is actually easier than with adb

Put the recovery.img into the same directory as Fastboot then in command prompt fastboot flash recovery recovery.Img
[RAZR HD General] MunchNBeaver:
how do i do that?? reboot directly back into recovery??

i flashed twrp. so after is said success. i typed fastboot boot recovery twrp.img

i didn't do anything, just rebooted on it's on. to regular screen. so i shut off, 3 finger, back to recovery, back to warning, back to regular boot.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
After you fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img in AP Fastboot mode, DISCONNECT the phone from USB, power it OFF, then hold the volume buttons and press power to get the menu up. Then go down to recovery.
[RAZR HD General] MunchNBeaver:
Ok. I did that. And I still get Warning, your bootloader is unlocked. sits there, sits there, reboots into kitkat. It will not go into the twrp recovery.
[RAZR HD General] RikRong:
That is the incorrect command to flash recovery. You need to type " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img." Then reboot the way Sam described.
[RAZR HD General] MunchNBeaver:
that was my command to flash it.

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

then i turned it off. 3 finger method. click down to recovery. click up to select, then warning. sits there. then boots.

my whole process was to root with towel. then i ran motopocalpyse apk to unlock. after i unlocked it, of course i got the messages. i then used rashr to flash a recovery. apparently that wasn't working. so i flashed twrp.img using fastboot. it said it had written. i shut off phone, tried to boot into recovery, and it wasn't having it.
[RAZR HD General] RikRong:
What TWRP are you using? Do you have link where you got it from?
[RAZR HD General] MunchNBeaver:

You flashed the wrong one. It needs to be the one specific to your phone. That happens when you flash the M version on the HD or vice versa.

I'm hearing grumblings that the HD soak build is going out perhaps as early as tomorrow. I beg people, if you haven't unlocked already, now is the time. I just don't want to hear about people missing this opportunity.
[RAZR HD General] Zeljko1234:
Probably you will hear that at least for second hand devices updated to the latest available version before selling. As a sales point.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Well, I won't. LOL. I'll be locking my thread on droidrzr as soon as the update is released if it closes the unlock hole and plugs root. I've put out enough warnings to people that I won't feel bad one bit about telling people NO. I'm not dealing with the dozens of "didn't work" posts once they start updating to the next OTA.
[RAZR HD General] MrPib:
The phrase "above and beyond one's duty" comes to mind, in regards to your efforts to help and warn people. THANK YOU!

Is there any way to tell how many RAZRs you've helped free? Two for me.
[RAZR HD General] bmwh0r3:
I rooted and unlocked xt926 thanks to this thread. I'm happy but aside from the stock ROM, I'm unable to find a stable enough ROM I enjoy. I may sell it. What is a good asking price?
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
We started a poll on DroidRZR just to sort of gauge a percentage. We have well over 50 unlocked just on that poll. That doesn't include the users here and elsewhere that have unlocked. And it also doesn't include multiple phones like yourself. I have to think we've done a great job in getting the word out and getting people unlocked. This really makes me hugely happy.
[RAZR HD General] iBolski:
Confirmed that Towelroot works on the latest soak test OTA. Unless something is drastically broken with this soak test, it should be what everyone eventually gets. My bootloader was already unlocked, but I was asked to go ahead and try and see if towelroot would work (even though it wasn't something I needed to use to get root), and it did, so fear not (for now) users. If you are NOT unlocked, I would go ahead and do so anyways. I cannot confirm if the exploit for unlocking the bootloader was patched since I was already unlocked. Don't take a chance. Root exploit is still there, but you can't chance that the bootloader unlock exploit still will be.

If you want to run custom roms, then you need to be unlocked. Safestrap ROMs are old and the SS recovery and the ROMs don't work with KK and don't expect any SS roms to come out. Since most people have the XT926 unlocked, that's what the devs are developing for and those require unlocked bootloaders.

Bluetooth issues seem to have cleared up (stuttering sounds using Bluetooth) as well as WiFi signal seems stronger. Popping noise is still there if you have sound turned on. When it's silent or in vibrate mode, popping noise is gone.

I myself went back and flash the updated boot image that was posted a while back and that fixed the popping noise, so those that have applied that boot image on the original KK OTA, it still works with the latest soak test OTA.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Had a user test towel root and it still works on the new update. No one's sure about the unlock.

EDIT and uh there's the user. LMAO :D Thanks iBolski!

---------- Post added at 11:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:40 AM ----------

One other thing...we still need someone to capture the update zip. That hasn't yet been done.
[RAZR HD General] iBolski:
No biggie. I'm trying something that will hopefully allow me to capture the update. Not sure if this will work or not, but hey, I live on the edge and I can always go back if needed to CM11. :D
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
That would be incredibly helpful if you could. I don't see it posted anywhere yet and I want to get a new thread set up for it. Obviously we need a new FXZ, as well.
[RAZR HD General] iBolski:
Check your PM at droidrzr.com.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Got it thanks.

For those that want the new update, I've created a thread on droidrzr.

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/49699-1834610xt926-ota/

Just be aware if you're locked, you should really unlock first on 183 and then update as we do not know if the TZ partition has been patched or not. Root has not.
[RAZR HD General] krystianp:
Can someone send me tz partition of that new update? I'll check if they locked it
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
I was hoping you'd be able to do that. :)

http://www.mediafire.com/download/9nw65xcjz1l211p/Blur_Version.183.46.10.XT926.Verizon.en.US.zip

TZ partition is in that zip file. Thank you!!!
[RAZR HD General] krystianp:
It's not exploitable. So whoever flashes it and don't have unlocked bootloader won't be able to unlock it anymore. They used same "fix" as before.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
I had a feeling. Alright, thank you very much for looking into it.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Also, towel root does not, in fact, work on the new build. There was some confusion. But it doesn't work. So if you're locked and take the new update, you're pretty screwed.
[RAZR HD General] jlang11:
What about that new KK bootloader? Is there any way to get that besides the OTA?
[RAZR HD General] Artnig:
Hey I'm wondering the same thing. Been out of the loop for a while and can't find any info about getting the new KK bootloader, on my already unlocked device.
[RAZR HD General] Not_A_Dev:
This is what I was told elsewhere, except step 2 did not work out great for me (couldn't SBF) so I decided to flash the whole FXZ, and it worked (in which case you could also skip step 3).

1. Download the official stock firmware for your phone and provider from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/

2. Extract the zip file to a local directory on your PC, modify the XML file which is included and keep only the 'flash' commands (remove the 'erase' to keep your data).

3. Save the XML after cleaning.

4. Using motorola RSDLite, flash the zip file to your phone (now containing the modified XML).

5. After you're done, flash dhacker's new TWRP 2.7.1.1 for this phone http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2776515 or his new CWM 6.0.4.9 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2747535

Unless you're planning on installing a custom ROM afterwards, I would encourage you to then get busy with SamuriHL's thread here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/49699-ota-442-1834614/
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Wow people make things difficult. LMAO :)
[RAZR HD General] Not_A_Dev:
Sure, I could have told them about your RSD Flasher, but I figured, people who deal with flashing stuff to their devices, should know what they're doing. I know I appreciated it when someone helped me with a clear step-by-step instruction. Doesn't take away any props from the valuable services you provide to our Razr HD community.
[RAZR HD General] SamuriHL:
Knowing how to do it is a VERY valuable thing. I absolutely agree with that. But details tend to get missed in the "edit the xml..." part which is why I automated it. Things like removing the oem and getvar lines, as an example. Then they follow the directions, things blow up, and you get "tried it, didn't work" posts. :D But I do appreciate the idea of teaching.

I successfully updated to 4.4.2 183, rooted and unlocked. Had a bit of trouble getting root to stick and SuperSU to update the binaries. It finally did and the rest was uneventful. A side effect that I'm still working through is that I can't update permissions on some folders and Titanium Backup won't write to the normal folder. A side effect of that is that the media storage won't read the media folder for ring tones.
