[Verizon HTC One (M8)] runandhide05:
So... Quite a funny outcome here...

So unless you write an app including permission to access torch, if torch is turned on in anyway (outside of an app with permission) the screen turns off...

So what I did was wrote a nice little script to monitor when /sys/class/leds/green/blink so when it's set to 1 /sys/class/leds/flash_0/brightness is echo > 200 for 500ms (half a second) then echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/flash_0/brightness . However because of what I have found when that does happen the screen goes black for a second while torch is flashing.

Il keep working on it to see if I can get something a little more usable.

Still having an issue monitoring /green led

ok so this is what ive come up with for the time being, since i see no foreseeable way around the screen flash issue, and there for dont see a point in dedicating more time to this.

download tasker.

create a new profile.

select event

select file

select file modified

type

/sys/class/leds/green/blink

then back out and create a task.

label it what ever you'd like

press the + and select code

select Run Shell

in the command field type

echo 200 > /sys/class/leds/flash_0/brightness

the check the box next to Use Root

back out and click the play icon bottom left, this will prompt you to allow su access.

all done, now in the phone settings under sounds and notification select what app light notifications you want to use, and whenever the green light changes from on or off status the torch will flash once.

Q1: Is it possible to just flash this KIA20.74.rar ROM from this thread via TWR and have KITKAT installed?

Q2: Is it rooted or how to root aftewards?

Q3: Is there any custom KITKAT ROMS available?

Q4: Is it worth to upgrade at all?

Thanks for your reply.
[RAZR i General] Hazou:
1. No, it is not possible to flash it. U need to restore it. This is not a flashable zip, it is a TWRP BACKUP that can be restored through the recovery.

2. I dunno if it is rooted, but if it is not. Just install a root zip afterwards through recovery

3. Yep, mine:D CM11

4. I would say yes. From 4.1.2 to 4.4.x was a great update. A couple of more apps that work and an overal boost of performance. Not that mutch, but noticable.

Hi :)

Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. A quick search of the Droid Razr M device section allowed me to find this thread:

[GUIDE][FAQ][KK] How to Root, Boot Unlock & More

Upon reading the information at the start of that thread I regret to inform you that you cannot obtain root on your firmware, and you cannot downgrade your firmware, so unfortunately you're fresh out of luck in this case. The OEM's generally patch root exploits with each firmware release so it's best to double check on the availability of a root exploit for the next firmware update before you take the update. Sometimes a new root exploit will be developed, sometimes the firmware just can't be cracked. Unfortunately in your case there is no root exploit, or even the prospect of one. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, I wish you the very best of luck with your phone!

Hi, I have the problem described in the title and that is that I often while browsing the web may see some websites that I have not requested, and in particular appear porn sites.

This problem happened to me both on two smartphones that on a tablet and all of these devices have Android and stock rom.

I have restored them but the problem after a while 'recurs probably also due to the websites (absolutely "normal") that I receive.

I am running 4.4.4, rooted with Xblast Tools

A couple of weeks ago, the backgrounds of the App drawer, the Google search box and the App drawer button all turned white. Previously, they had all been dark transparent. In addition, the effect, in the home screen and the app drawer, where, when you reach the last screen and try to go further they semi-rotate has disappeared.

Initially, I thought it might be Xblast Tools, but I looked and can't find any settings in there for those things.

I restored a November Nandroid to check my memory, and everything I described returned to the way it used to be.

Nexus 6 on contract with Verizon...
[Nexus 6  General] gtdriver0036:
My contract expired near the end of 2013.

There are no strings on me.
[Nexus 6  General] ooofest:
Me either. I'm getting a direct-from-Motorola Nexus 6 and have been living month-to-month on a grandfathered Unlimited Data plan since getting my Galaxy S III 2.5 years ago.

As confirmed with a phone rep at Verizon today, for me this will just be a new SIM card and replacing the device on my existing account.

[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
But if you have UDP you want to be on contract. You can use your upgrade and keep UDP.

[Nexus 6  General] ooofest:
I've seen that writeup before. So much work to get a subsidized rate, but fraught with potential loss of UDP.

There's no reason that I need to be on a contract to retain UDP, from what I've experienced. We easily (and carefully) upgraded my spouse's Galaxy S III to a self-purchased S5 over the holidays at a Verizon store, retaining her UDP without a complication . . . and, I'm going to follow the same route.

- wader
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
The risk is small to none if you read the wiki and ask questions before you attempt the methods.

And if you have a TDP or basic line to transfer the upgrade to the risk of losing UDP is ZERO!

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 AM ----------

Verizon can eliminate UDP at any time even if you are on contract. Being on contract makes it less likely b/c they would have to eat the subsidy. Not so if you are off contract.

The reality is that when Verizon was going to throttle UDP lines, it was only the off contract UDP lines b/c they knew if you complained, they could just cut you loose with no loss financially. Not so if you are off contract.

---------- Post added at 07:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 AM ----------

Paying full retail for a phone is not using an upgrade. There is NO RISK AT ALL OF LOSING UDP IF YOU PAY FULL RETAIL. No reason to be careful either. You simply cannot lose UDP if you pay full retail unless you are naive enough to do it in a corporate store where the malicious reps will switch you off of UDP for no reason.

Seriously dude, paying full retail is a no brainer. You won't lose UDP if you do that again unless you are naive and do it at a store where a commission based SA can switch you off for no reason to try to get more of a bonus, lol!
[Nexus 6  General] ooofest:
Thanks, I meet all those conditions, but my new phone is arriving tomorrow (new from Motorola) - so, the point is actually moot. Plus, I preferred to get a new SIM from them for this phone, which they said they would easily provide (just as I got for an offline-purchased S5 for my spouse).

I've always known that the unlimited data plan would not last forever - if they cut it in the next year and I was otherwise able to use the method you've documented, I'd lose about a year that a 2-year contract would have provided. Not great, but them's the breaks with Big Red, I figure.

Fortunately, I haven't been throttled in my experience, unless that just wasn't obvious to me. Although, I honestly don't think they'd care whether I was on a contract or not, in such a case - how they deal with the grandfathered terms is certainly up to them.

In either case, the only effective complaint I could expect to make would be taking my family account and moving it wholesale to another carrier.

I upgraded my spouse's phone for Christmas in the store, with a friendly Verizon rep, who gave us a new SIM to fit the offline-purchased S5 (vs her old SIM in the S III). I expect the same process to happen for this Nexus 6 on my line and have already spoken to them ahead of time to ensure this model and my plan won't suddenly throw any red flags up in their expectations. To them, it's the same as what easily took 20 minutes in their store 1.5 months ago.

So, I feel our situation is good, thanks.

Wow my first post prophetically sums up the following posts perfectly. As Roy Batty (Nexus 6) so eloquently said:

[Nexus 6  General] ooofest:
Just saving some money for now by buying the phone direct from Motorola - moving away from UPD would cost me an additional $30/month (minimum), for example. I'll easily move back under standard contract with them (for this particular line - other lines in our family are under two-year contracts) when UDP is fully withdrawn or their other plans miraculously become more attractive. Has nothing to do with which phone is on which line, though.

- ooofest
[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
You can buy a new SIM card from a Verizon Authorized Retailer for $10 any time you want. Verizon phone reps will mail you a SIM card for free if you tell them you are buying a used phone. Just don't use the automated system to activate it - call and have a rep do it.

I am staying on contract b/c the odds are highest of keeping UDP the longest if you are on contract.

They only throttle if you have a 3G device on your UDP line.

The contract is the same no matter what plan you are on - they can change the terms of your service at any time for any reason. If you are postpaid they have to give you written notice and then you have 60 days to object to the change. If they don't change you back then they have to let you out of your contract w/o an ETF.

If you are off contract, they can change anything they want and you have no contract so there is no penalty to Verizon since you have already paid back the subsidy by completing your contract.

If they are going to eliminate UDP then they will have taken that consequence into account when they made the decision to eliminate UDP.

Well the issue is the device IMEI being whitelisted. Verizon gives out SIM cards by mail for free, that is a non-issue. And you can buy them from a VAR for $10 no issues.

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

You aren't saving any money by buying the phone direct from Motorola. You can buy it subsidized from Verizon using your upgrade very soon and still keep UDP. But if you don't want to wait, you can use your upgrade to flip an iPhone and use the profit to put toward the N6.

http://slickdeals.net/f/6964624-upgrade-and-keep-your-unlimited-data-with-verizon?
[Nexus 6  General] ooofest:
JulesJam: I sincerely appreciate that you've come up with a scheme and support forum to help upgrade phones with subsidies and retain UDP with Verizon, but that doesn't mean everyone is equally interested in what you've outlined elsewhere on the matter. Something to keep in mind.

On to some specific items of note.

I went into a Verizon store today in order to get the official line and they willingly went through the motions to see if they could get my phone a SIM card and into their system, using their standard process. I just wanted to see how they would react and then use that to talk further about how they might accept manufacturer-purchased phones.

Of course, they couldn't at this time because the system didn't recognize my phone's identifier - but, they said the same thing happened with early iPhone 6 purchasers who came into the store, which had to wait until their systems formally accepted their numbers. I've had three Verizon reps tell me that this Motorola-bought phone should be OK to register, so we'll see. But, I'll have to wait a bit for that formality.

I appreciate the information on process to activate, if I did get a card from a retailer.

Maybe, but as I said, it would be a matter of months lost if that occurred, so I wouldn't cry too much. I know we're living on borrowed time.

I managed to keep an OLD voice/msg plan for many years beyond its official timeout, only changing when I needed to add a new line. They haven't changed my terms dynamically before, but if they start up with that, oh well.

I'm not into flipping, but thanks. Still, if I did the legwork to get a subsidized phone on UDP, I'm would definitely not want to wonder if I could get a switch order taken off my account, either - our other plan needs have been changing with a growing family. I can see all the work you and others have put into this contribution to others for potential savings, but - compared to moving into a limited data plan with a subsidized Nexus 6 - I'm actually making out better before two years is up from the date of purchasing this phone directly from Motorola (i.e., that's how much I would save on $30/month UDP vs what I would need to switch to for an adequately sized, limited data plan).

And, Verizon just lowered their other plan rates, so I'm taking a new look at their offerings with a subsidized phone. My Nexus 6 just arrived yesterday I've only opened the box to charge and ensure the phone turns out, has no glaring defects, etc. I don't look forward to it, but if I need to sell because their new plan pricing would actually be a better deal per month, I could sell this phone in the next couple of weeks and get a subsidized, is one route to take. But, with limited data. I've got some calculating to do tonight.

[Nexus 6  General] phillywood:
I hope they give and activate nano sim for you. I just went through this a week ago and couldn't get sim activated without IMEI of Verizon phone to be used. So I got me friends droid turbo, which uses nano sim, and used its IMEI number to activate sim and put it in my Nexus 6. No problems.
[Nexus 6  General] ooofest:
I actually had a followup with them later in the afternoon over the phone - they did some research with their Management, interestingly enough. Since more calls have been coming in for the Nexus 6, this Rep wanted to get up on things.

AFTER they start offering Nexus 6 phones on their network, then they'll add an unaffiliated Nexus 6's information (i.e., IMEI, serial number, etc.) into their own phone database, which will allow it to be recognized for activation. After that, they'll simply go through the standard process to activate, including provision of a new nano-SIM.

When I brought in an independently purchased Galaxy S5 that was already in their database, they easily gave me a new SIM to upgrade the spouse's existing line (from her prior Galaxy S III).

So, if I don't want to purchase a nano SIM from an Authorized Retailer (as suggested earlier) or cut my existing one down to size (it's tempting), it's just a matter of waiting a few weeks to go through the standard registration and activation process for this manufacturer-sold phone.

[Nexus 6  General] JulesJam:
I didn't come up with the scheme as you call it. Others did. Just spreading the word, and although you may not be interested, many others are. I promise not to mention the "schemes" to you again, lol!

AFAIK, the only legacy plan Verizon has ever d/c'ed is the unlimited international roaming plan.

You mean pending activation. Switch orders are attached to the SIM card when you order from a 3rd party retailer and you get rid of them by destroying the SIM card the phones ship with. When you order through Verizon, no switch order, but there is a pending equipment order. Both pending activations and pending equipment orders have reliably fallen off of everyone's line within about 2 months at the latest. Oh wait, sorry I promised not to talk to you about my "schemes" anymore, lol!

This is only true for the 1-4GB and 20GB plans. The 10GB plan went up substantially (25%) and the 15GB plan was eliminated and replaced with more expensive 14GB and 16GB plans.

The plan they are now advertising for a family of 4 is $145/mo with 4 smartphones on edge sharing 8GB. Two days ago, you could get 4 smartphones on Edge sharing 10Gb of data for $140/mo. How is $5 more and 2GB less of shared data a price decrease, lol!!!

---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------

Of course they did. Why do you keep repeating this like it is some great feat you pulled off? Verizon gives any current Verizon customer free SIM cards for any phone you want to put on your line as long as the phone is whitelisted. They will mail them to you if you ask and they send them out 2 day shipping for free. In corporate stores they give you one no questions asked but you have to bring the phone in and they activate it for you.

VARs will sell you one for $10.

Don't use the automated system to activate a new SIM card if you have UDP.
