[Motorola Droid 4] Septfox:
I've realized this, yes. If the stock recovery weren't useless, there wouldn't be the need for using fastboot. I was just playing with it, since I couldn't get anything else to work properly.

The key word being "should"...but I've actually already tried this, after seeing it in a couple of other posts. Booting this way results in the same black screen as booting without holding M.
[Motorola Droid 4] Septfox:
Right, well. I made a factory-style cable, to avoid killing my battery while I screw around.

I would very much appreciate any further suggestions on how to proceed. Is there any way to get the phone running from stock recovery, or am I completely SOL without AP Fastboot working from the first recovery menu?

Picking up another mainboard is always an option, but I'd really prefer not to if at all possible.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
power off, press both volume buttons
[Motorola Droid 4] Septfox:
That gets me the first menu.

Everything in this menu, aside from Recovery, results in a black screen; even the M-to-BP Tools Safestrap shortcut.

Recovery, of course, gets me to android recovery, which apparently borders on useless. I mean, there's a fastboot option there, but it doesn't seem to work properly.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
Power off your phone, hold volume down button and press power button, until you see AP Fastboot Flash Mode
[Motorola Droid 4] Septfox:
Ok, just so we're on the same page here.

First menu:

I have no problem getting to this menu. Everything but Recovery in this menu fails to do anything but go to a black screen; including AP Fastboot. Holding M while opening this menu, then selecting BP Tools to try and skip to Safestrap, doesn't work.

Recovery:

Useless, because it can't seem to actually flash packages (I would guess because how borked everything is), and the fastboot option doesn't seem to work properly.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
When from power off, hold just volume down, power on, should go straight to ap fastboot

No only update.zip(s) can be installed in stock recovery and only if Stock rom is installed, and only if it is the correct update, can not install updates on same system version, can not downgrade, so if newest system version is installed, there is no update.zip that will work. It's the same for every Motorola Droid for last 4 years.

updates.zips are named like Blur_Version.6.16.217.XT894.Verizon.en.US.zip

could try

adb reboot-bootloader
[Motorola Droid 4] Septfox:
Ah, I see. That seems...rather short-sighted of Motorola. They knew very well that many of their users would be doing monumentally stupid things - like wiping the phone, for example - being able to debrick it from recovery would be extraordinarily helpful...

Then again, I'm sure that stock recovery on my Ally was just as unhelpful, so eh.

This is my first Droid, my first Motorola ever in fact, so I didn't know.

I'm aware of the naming conventions, I actually did download the RSD lite file for debricking...just couldn't get anywhere to use it. Several updates too, to spam at the package installer; that of course got me absolutely nowhere.

Anyway, I finally got into Fastboot.

What I was trying to do originally was disconnect the battery to power the phone off, then reconnect it and follow your instruction for going straight into Fastboot. This wasn't working; the phone refused to power on until I let go of all buttons. Is there some other way of shutting the phone off? Simply pressing the power button does nothing for me.

I thought we were having a breakdown in communication, since Vol Down+Power is supposed to be for reset. I apologize.

What finally got me in was disconnecting the battery, then holding the button down while "manually" powering on by using the factory-style cable. I now have the AP Fastboot menu; I just have to get Windows to install it properly (currently up, improperly as I understand, as "Mot Single ADB Interface"). I have your Google Docs guide up, so hopefully I can proceed from here without screwing anything else up.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
all "Droid"(s) are designed for Verizon, and Verizon does not want their devices rooted, so this would not happen.

Windows does not like Motorola devices/Drivers, may need to reboot pc and droid 4 a few times
[Motorola Droid 4] Septfox:
Let me start this post off by saying THANK YOU for sticking around and putting up with me. It has been a trying day, both because of this and offline stuff going on. I'm sorry if any of it bled over into my responses.

Flash was successful, phone is currently doing its thing, and I now know several new things about not only my phone, but Motorola devices in general. As well as what to avoid doing at all cost in the future unless I want more headaches.

Yes, god forbid people try and get the most out of devices that they paid several hundred dollars and/or are roped into multi-year contracts for.

Funny thing about that.

I couldn't get Windows to install the phone "properly". Manually installing it as the Motorola Flash Interface simply made it unusable. After repeatedly rebooting the phone and computer, trying different cables and installation orders and methods, I finally gave up and left it as "Mot Single ADB Interface". RSD lite picked it up, but wouldn't display any information about it; didn't care, told it to flash anyway. The way I figured, it's not like it could hurt the phone much more than it already was.

Lo and behold, it worked. I'm not saying that this is a typical case and leaving it alone will work for everyone, but for anyone looking for an answer in the future: if you can't install it "properly", try flashing it anyway, provided it displays in Device Manager as functioning with no issues.

Final question, before I go off and do something stupid again: how does one flash ROMs into the stock "slot"? Is it a simple matter of installing without wiping the existing partitions?

Though frankly, at this point, I'm almost happy to just leave well enough alone and write that 3gb off as unusable.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
Can't remember if all the ROMs can be installed on stock slot.

Cm11 and slimkat can just in safestrap/twrp, select stock slot, factory reset, and install.
[Motorola Droid 4] Septfox:
Indeed, Slimkat installed with absolutely no issue, and is at this point well on its way to being acceptably tweaked for daily usage. Aside from the rare random hot reboot, anyway.

Thanks again for your help, I can say with certainty that the phone wouldn't be working without it.

Love this ROM and everything seems to work amazing on 6.0!

I am wondering if someone can tell me what I did wrong that is causing my LTE to not work. (CDMA mode I get 3G just fine, LTE/CDMA or auto modes i get no connection) . In addition, MMS will not send through Xposed hangouts update or through stock SMS app? I am far from an expert, my apologies in advance.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] algus:
I'm currently using stock Nexus 5 firmware but would like to have some of Cyanogenmod apps too :).

Like cLock widget, file manager, torch, sound recorder.

I'd like to get them from official Cyanogenmod website as I don't trust APK files distributed by third parties.

However when I extract APKs from latest Cyanogenmod M release for Nexus 5 (currently cm-11-20141008-SNAPSHOT-M11-hammerhead.zip) some of them forceclose on start :(.

So I extracted the apps I need from latest stable release for Nexus 4 (cm-10.2.1-mako.zip) and they seem to work fine.

But is there a way to make APKs from Nexus 5 Cyanogenmod releases work on stock Nexus 5 firmware?

Are APKs in Nexus 5 Cyanogenmod builds any different from APKs included in Cyanogenmod builds for other phone models? Or there is some kind of 'standard' Cyanogenmod APK set which is afterwards 'tuned' for each phone model?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
Some may require libs or framework. For those that only require lib files, simply open the .apk in question on your PC using WinRAR or the equivalent (it is technically a renamed .zip file)

If it has a lib folder or any files ending in .so more likely than not, you'll need to move those files to system/lib before the app in question will function properly.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
There's also CM Apps available in the playstore, no guarantee they'll work. But I think they've been optimised to work on any firmware as I've never had any issues with them.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] algus:
Thanks for quick replys!

I guess the apps indeed need some custom CM libraries. I may try this after checking out official Lollipop firmware, not going to root untill then.

And yes, APKs from 'CM Apps' work well (app itself broke but APKs are still on autohor's website). I'm interested where did the author get them. Just by trial & error from builds on CM website or not.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
They work on your ROM because your ROM has CM stuff in it. Most of them won't work at all on actual full AOSP ROMs without them, like PA.

He probably just downloaded the ROM zips and took the apk files out.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Yeah err I don't have a CM ROM...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Yeah, you'd be surprised how many ROMs have CM stuff in them.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
That include stock too? :p

Serious note, I only use the Camera app, Apollo and torch from the CM apps application. Never had any issues with them in all honesty.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Those should be fine anyways since they don't have CM dependencies.

Or you can use 'ClockSync' from Playstore. Here you can manual adjust the time (just by clicking a button) or you activate automatic mode where you can select how often ClockSync should correct your time.

An option would be to make this sync more configurable so that you can amend the sync strategy according to your needs. Will have a look at that, what would work out best for you guys.

PS: Like [MENTION=5459278]benstyle1[/MENTION] has already mentioned, enabling data (mobile or wifi) does a new time sync. So, there's no need to reboot to get a fresh time.

Update of OmniROM

Best way (to be sure that everything works) is a Clean install. But you can try also this "dirty" installation:

- Wipe Cache, Dalvik and system

- Flash OmniROM

- Flash actual GApps

- If you have installed other Apps/Prog's as flashable ZIP's via recovery (for example KERNEL), you have to install them also again.

With this procedure you will keep your Apps with all data's and settings.

Works for me all time. Only after the 3rd or 4th "Dirty" installation I make a clean install again.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] precubcr:

And by wiping system you meam advanced format -> format system and mout it again?

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iwogu:
It's also possible to flash without GAppas:

- Wipe Dalvik & Cache

- Flash OmniROM

- Reboot

But it increase the risk that something will not work properly...

The developers from SlimKat recommend also to wipe system: http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/installation (see item 2)

And I think this is teh same for all CustomRom's.

In TWRP it's correct: Wipe / Advanced Wipe / System

It will be mounted again automatically.

But then you have to install GApps and other ZIP-files which you use.
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] precubcr:
Ok.

Dirty wiped.

Gapps installed and removed enoyings like games and music, videos etc from google.

I did that because i wanted the apps to be integrated.

Also kept messages and hangouts.

Seems good.
