The exploit for unlocking the boot loader has been patched...and you can not down grade with rsd unless your boot loader is unlocked you are pretty much stuck with a unrooted RAZR M if you are on the .15 update with a locked boot loader... You may soft brick or even brick your device if you attempt to downgrade with rsd... What are you wanting to flash with rsd?

We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.

downgrade

Hello,

I have a question,

When I had the jelly bean I unlocked the bootloader.

After the OTA 4.2.2 and the .15 update, I lost root, but I am not sure if is safe to use the RSD to downgrade.

When I turn on the phone I dont have the unlocked starting message, but if I go to fast boot, I see the code 3, unlocked.

Could you please let me know if I could use the RSD to downgrade, with no risk of bricking the phone?

I have to block the fast dormancy process becaouse I am out of USA, and this process is causing me issues, ( random re boots, battery drain etc).

Thanks

Hello ATTACK,

I tried to follow the procedure, but looks like some of the links are not updated like the super user zip.

I could install better jellybean using RSD, do you think it is safe?

Thanks
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
The SU zip can be easily found with a quick search on XDA.

Hi everyone,

i have s3 i747 at&t.

after upgrading to StockMOD ROM 4.3 rls 2.1 (from rls2) my speaker started to make crackling sounds and sometimes even very low siren sounds. so i tried to go back to rls2 but it doesn't help - the sounds continued, so i decided to go back to stock and now not the camera flash or the speaker working.

can some one help me?

here is some things i also tried:

1. to put the speaker in another phone and it worked perfectly.

2. the aux (headphone connection) works perfectly.

3. to install a new speaker in the phone and it won't work.

4. factory reset.

can some one please give some ideas about what might be the problem?

thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] marcmy:
Little by little, Android is becoming iOS. Starting to get very annoyed with the limitations in recent updates. First we get permalocked if we accepted 4.3 OTA update. Now I found out in 4.4, Google has prevented write access to external storage?! And there's no way around it without root? SIGH. Not not only can I not root my phone, but I can't even write to my SD card without plugging it into my PC? What's next, take away our widgets and ability to change launcher/interface? What happened to the old philosophy of Android? It's OUR devices and we should be able to do what we damn well please with them.

ya and with 4.4 theres this icon of a shield that pops up daily for security updates i dont want them dont want anything else

---------- Post added at 02:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:38 AM ----------

what we need is a way to erase everything off the phone bootloader included and start fresh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
That's not good enough. Sure for devices like the Note 2 it would allow a locked phone to become unlocked at any time. But what about devices that never got unlocked like the Note 3 and other future devices? This doesn't resolve their situations.

Also, yes I agree with you OP. I refuse to "upgrade" from this phone to anything else any time soon considering the way these phones are turning into locked up garbage. I'm so grateful for all the work modders and hackers managed to do with this device which allows me to run something as amazing as Cyanogenmod 11 right now. I saw what the stock 4.3+ ROM's look like, yuck. Imagining being stuck with that "forever" is like a nightmare only I'm awake.

Anyways there really is no better alternative to Android at the moment or foreseeable future. If you want a smartphone with even a hint of customizability then Android's your only option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KennyG123:
You are not seeing the big picture. If you want phones that you can hack away at and are not secure there are plenty out there. Verizon and AT&T teaming up with Samsung have gone after large military and commercial contracts with these phones. Therefore they have made efforts to make them as secure as possible. You can thank all the hackers in the world pulling email and banking information off your phones for that. And you probably can throw in thanks for the locked bootloader to all those that returned their bricked phones under warranty.

As I said, you have choices, Nexus, HTC, developer's editions....etc. You just need to do a little research before buying.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ezas:
Agreed for many of the UI changes. But I understand. They have to appeal to Ma and Pa Kettle.

Hopefully at some point they will embrace custom ROMs with a special model like Linkysy did with their L model. But I'm guessing not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WhiteEVO:
Well said! This is why I'm leaving smasung and will be researching a diff phone for my next purchase/upgrade. LG G3 or HTC...not sure yet...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KennyG123:
I went to the HTC M8 and I hated HTC..it is a freaking fast phone!!! Unlocking and rooting was super easy! Won't have to worry about Knox until they upgrade it to L.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Loved the look of that phone and I am not a HTC fan, but that phone looked good.. Contract is not up until next year and I think a move to a different carrier and phone manufacturer is in my future.. Just not sure what yet:rolleyes:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WhiteEVO:
I always liked the sense interface compared to TW, I've got till Jan, then I'm making a change. keep us posted on your choice L18, would love to run your ROMs! ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tomnj1961:
A fix is in the works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MaxBuck:
None of the alternatives have the S-pen or any analogous stylus, which I regard as essential.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] KennyG123:
Then perhaps a carrier that does not lock bootloader like Sprint or T-Mobile?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MaxBuck:
Assuming I lived and traveled exclusively in areas where one of those carriers had a decent signal, that could be a good approach. Unfortunately that's not the case.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madtork:
I have a Verizon S5 rooted with towel root and no safe strap.

Twice I've tried to restore white user apps and green user data with titanium like I've done with every device I've upgraded to. Both times I've gotten stuck in boot loops where it gets fully booted and to my launcher screen and then reboots. I can't seem to get it into safe mode either.

I haven't done a second restore yet, so it's still stuck in a boot loop right now.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey guys, the solution for MMS is to make sure your APN settings are the same in system Settings and in your app (hangouts) settings. Settings > NFC & More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names, take note of it. Then in Hangouts, Settings > SMS > Access Point Names and make it the same as the first one. I was able to send and receive an MMS after this.

edit: after some word in another thread and testing myself, it seems that being connected to WiFi will not allow you to send or receive MMS but turning it off (and having apns fixed) works fine. Interesting.
[Nexus 5 General] jdawg0024:
Thanks for the info. (I don't remember doing the Hangouts APN back on 4.4.4 or earlier and it always worked) After Adding the Straight Talk APN settings to Hangouts sending MMS now goes through instead of timing out. Sending one to myself still results in me not receiving anything. I think this is an issue with Straight Talk now.

I read earlier that WiFi had MMS issues. I did have it off, but still no luck.

May want to remove Hangouts from the list, as it does work if the ROM was flashed right...

As far as any MMS issues (sending/receiving), make sure your phone APN settings match the app APN settings exactly, otherwise there will be issues.

If your carrier doesn't allow for APN modification, then that's an entirely different story. But the app Hangouts itself does work w/ full functionality.
