[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quixoticduck:
Hi, I don't know a ton about putting roms on phones but I have successfully put roms on four phones and rooted my Razr i just by following guides and hoping for the best so I'm not a complete newbie and have tried researching before posting!

Basically I have managed to root my razr i, unlock the bootloader and am trying to put CWM on the phone. I have the correct CWM file (I think) recovery-razri-tryAtouch and I plug my phone in, go to the folder of platform-tools in the android-sdk folder and run as admin a command window from there.

I check my device is there with adb devices and it is. I can do adb reboot bootloader and it goes into recovery but then when I do 'fastboot flash recovery recovery-razri-tryAtouch.img is says

(bootloader) Variable not supported!

target reported max download size of 104857600 bytes

sending 'recovery' (6926 KB)..

OKAY [ 1.002s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 1.064s]

finished. total time: 2.068s

so it sounds like it is failing but still doing something.

Nothing seems to change basically...

I googled and found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1936512&page=30 but the suggestions confuse me and don't seem to help. I went to the thread they mention http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2017748 and use SU to go to /system and there is no recover-from-boot file so that can't be the issue?

I also downloaded CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-29_S7_USASMIJBRTGB.xml from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239706 but I actually don't know why or if I've already used it. I'm getting a bit confused. I want CWM to work so I can put Cyanogenmod or whichever rom is best on it.

Thanks for any help.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
That is just a warning. I doesn't do any harm.

For CM before u do something wrong. The recovery u want to use won't work with CM. I don't know if u already were so far, but in the CM thread the instructions mention that u need to use the latest cwm or twrp recovery. And the one u use is not the latest, but was the first.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quixoticduck:
Oh ok thanks! I don't mind which recovery I use, whichever will work best with your rom!

I'm usually ok with following rom-ing instructions usually but when there's no link to a specific file I always get confused trying to find one which says it will definitely work with the Razr i.

If you know a specific file name or link then that would be helpful as I'd know I was using the exact best one and won't break my phone. :p

I'll try and find it by myself now though.

Edit: Just saw the threads above specific to the Razr i and recovery :) I will look there

Edit: This one? CWM based recovery 6.0.5.1.4, Tool/Utility for the Motorola RAZR i

And then I do fastboot flash recovery etc and link to the file like I tried to do before? :)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quixoticduck:
Oh, or should I use this tool by lebobo Rating: 5 [RECOVERY] v2.1 INSTALLER for CWM / CWMTouch / TWRP / STOCK Recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2281224 I see that you link to it in your razr i all things guide.

Which is compatible with your Cyanogen rom?

Thank you for your help.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
Works both
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quixoticduck:
Thanks. For some reason I couldn't get it to work until I tried to go into recovery a few times. I am now in CWM and clicked backup to sd-01 which I think means my default stock rom will be safe on my external sd. :) Now I can try flashing your rom!

edit: Stock backup is safely on my computer. It has 10 files including boot and a recovery img files. Total is about 1GB. Does it sound like I did the correct thing? :) Ahaha I'm so cautious about this compared to the other phones I did because this is my main phone and they were all old phones. I don't think I even backed up the stock rom for most! :p
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
Going fine. Backup is mostly between 1gb and 1,5gb. Just dont do think without some research especially when doing root stuff.

Hello guys, I can't get past 'checking connection' due to unable to contact Google servers in CHINA. Any brilliant ideas how to bypass? I actually succeeded in setting up my Nexus 5 (LTE) earlier in the week. I tried using a proxy on the N5 and using the hotspot for setting up N7 but it didn't work. Do I have to wait for my next trip to Japan to setup?? I hope the hell not. BTW, I'm installing factory image before rooting and custom ROM, so I can't do it another way. HELP!!!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabbermacy:
^^ this is during LOLLIPOP 5.0.2 setup from factory image
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
No that wouldn't work because an Android hotspot does not respect any tunnels or proxies that are set up on the devices.

If there is a VPN you have access to, and you have a router that can log itself into a VPN, that might be a means of getting through.

[Verizon LG G2] jfletch86:
Ok so this is everything I have done... Got a new VS980, used OTA to update to 4.4.2 andriod, 27a. Then I decided I wanted to root. I used Stumproot with brute force option and that was successful. I thought I could flash TWRP with Flashify and that obviously didn't work. I then realized I needed to use Autorec. I downloaded and installed that and successfully flashed TWRP. Afterwards I noticed my battery was draining super fast, and I still don't know how rooting and flashing TWRP have anything to do with that, but it has somehow. I thought flashing a new ROM would fix it I downloaded the newest Cloudyg2 and the bootstack that goes with it. Flashing it worked but I kept getting a "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped".. I cleared data and cache on the Phone process and force closed Sim card process and the error stopped but I couldn't send any MMS, it said invalid address no matter what phone number I tried... But that wasn't the main issue, the battery drain was still present. I rebooted in recovery to see if it would drain in recovery, while not doing anything and it was still draining, almost 1% every 10 minutes... I am lost and can't find any similar posts/threads on this anywhere... Somebody please help! Thanks in advance for any feedback...

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xkn0s:
Hi all,

I just installed Nameless ROM and am having trouble setting the CPU speeds:confused:. I've tried with Device control (built in) and then with No Frills CPU, both with root access, and have not had any success setting my CPU speed. When I set anything on minimum, I exit the app and when I return it goes back to its original value (1574). Same thing with No Frills. I have BusyBox installed and the latest version of SuperSu. So my question is, does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Is there a workaround? Has anyone had a similar experience? I do not have a custom Kernel, but my experience in the past has been quite similar with Franco Kernel and ElementalX kernel across a number of different ROMs.

Any help would be appreciated. :D
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] experience7:
Not actually a help but franco.Kernel Updater (App) doesn't work with CM12 as long as you don't install SuperSU. I did and it solved all problems. It has something to do with the internal su management I guess... but I'm not sure what's wrong with your setup since you already tried SuperSU.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Use a custom kernel.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] experience7:
[MENTION=5666997]Lethargy[/MENTION]: Damn, pretty simple answer! I've somehow missed that he says "no custom kernel" :S
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xkn0s:
Custom kernel

Custom kernels yield same result. Flashed Franco and the same thing is happy ING in the FKUpdater app. Forgive me if I'm wrong but the device control that's baked in to the Rom should be able to scale the kernel set in place by the same rom, right?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Whatever "device control that's baked into the ROM" makes no difference. All kernel apps/methods are the same, which is to simply echo a value (sysfs). You can do it via any kernel app, embedded kernel app, Tasker, Terminal, its the exact same thing.

What is your SELinux state?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xkn0s:
Did not know that. Thanks for the info!

SELinux is Enforcing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Try setting it to Permissive
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xkn0s:
Changed to permissive verified and reboot, still having the same trouble... tried flashing Franco again and went into boot loop; Same with Hellcore kernel and ElementalX kernel. :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
Not sure why it would end up in a non-boot. Try reflashing your ROM then the kernel.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xkn0s:
Booted TWRP, Flashed Rom and ElementalX in one go, boot stuck at Google splash screen for 20 minutes. Reflashed rom and booted up. Still not able to set CPU. Tried Reflashing Franco Kernel with app again and back to Google Splash Screen.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
If you reflash the ROM it'll probably go back to using it's original kernel. Have you tried with a different ROM?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xkn0s:
Yeah I reflashed /system and it came back up.

I just flashed Terminus Rom (http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/android-5-0-0r7-lrx21v-t2950499) and set up as new device. installed Kernel Toolkit and was able to set the Clock, but after a few minutes it just went back to default.

Flashed ElementalX kernel after that and installed the corresponding app and was able to set clock without it changing back. seems to only work in ElementalX app though.

It survived a Reboot and I sat and watched it for a while and it seems to all be working now!

Thanks for your help [MENTION=5666997]Lethargy[/MENTION]
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluel:
ElementalX and it's app use an init.d script (as of the latest version, it uses a ramdisk script instead) to set the values upon boot, reading values from a config file.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RAG7:
Hi all,

For reply at first message, I think have a solution (that's worked for me). On many devices like Nexus or Xperia, a Qualcomm service can be installed and running at boot (MPDecision) and change the CPU usages when it's necessary (number of cores and frequencies).

Maybe this priority is higher than all in Lollipop, and overwrite the modifications changed in other CPU managment apps. I found this when I searched a solution to this same problem on my Xperia Z with Lollipop 5.0.2. I used lot of app and no one worked for me, and tried Kernel Adiutor to see more parameters (need install Busybox). I disabled MPDecision to the CPU Hotplug section, and the SetCPU profiles worked after.

But you can see that disable this option keep all cores enable (with MPDecision enable, many cores change status to "disconnected" when no usage) maybe it's better to use SetCPU profiles on a full day than leave MPDecision manage your CPU. Just compare.

Sorry for my bad english, and happy if this help someone.

[Hardware Hacking General] supernova18:
Feel free to move this thread, but I thought I should ask somewhere people know about hardware.

I own a local store which has about 35 stands for each product, and me and my team want to run slideshows (picture+video) in each one.

My guess is that I should use tablets.

Why tablets?

a) Slideshows needs a software to run them. Displays are just displays.

b) KODI (XBMC) app is a good option, as each Kodi would also run a Samba server and I could send the media I need to play to each one from one computer.

c) I looked for digital photo frames, but they don't support any kind of networking, and the few ones I've found are as expensive as tablets.

My questions are,

1) Is it fine if they are connected to AC power all day 24/7? Our local is opened 24hs. Should I take off their batteries? I don't know if tablets are prepared for that purpose.

2) Is there a difference between generic tablets and Samsung Galaxy Tabs 3? In fact, I really don't need high-end tablets, I just need to run the slideshows. But my only fear is the device-life.
[Hardware Hacking General] afox27:
When its plugged in it runs off ac power an keeps the battery's charged so as long as there is power you are good it won't hurt it. I can make a app that's a slide show for them if you want just install the app an open it an itll play. The send the videos an slide show pics an I'll work on when I can. 12 hour shifts this schedule
[Hardware Hacking General] supernova18:
I appreciate your help.

I actually found out a solution to this. Not the best but fine.

I've installed Kodi and configured everything to block everything but the slideshow.

I needed to rooted them. Installed Xposed framework, and a Xposed addon to blocked hardware keys (leaving a combination to escape).

Installed Touch Blocker, to disable touch.

Installed Samba Filesharing app (running on default samba port thanks to root)

Configure Kodi to autostart Slideshow when it opens, and made a custom service-addon to auto refresh slideshow when new media is detected after 2 minutes, skipping if files are still transferring.

That took a lot more time to replicate in all 35 tablets because there is no cmw or teamwin recovery for Galaxy Tab 4 8'', or at least I haven't found, so Titanium Backup and Helium for some other stuff

[General Topics] 2PMintheAM:
1. I remember reading an article about keeping smartphones plugged in for long periods of time after they reach 100%. From what I can recall, it stated the batteries inside phones and tablets, even most laptops, are designed in a way where once they reach 100% capacity, the device will run directly off the electricity of the charger, rather than the battery's charge. This prolongs the battery's life and, quality, and you should have no problem leaving then plugged in for long periods of time.

2. You would certainly be fine with the Galaxy Tab 3, really any tablet model would do the job. It really depends on how much you're willing to spend for the quality of the display. A larger tablet provides a larger screen (obviously), just making is more appealing to a customer! But sure a larger screen will cost you more. More expensive tablets typically have higher resolutions. PPI (pixels per inch) come into effect. You'll notice a more visually appealing experience if you buy into tablets high a higher resolution, or more PPI.

Basically, any tablet will.. Do the job. You will be able to run slideshows just fine with literally any tablet, you do not need to worry about that. It's just up to you to decide how much money you're willing to spend for how high quality you want the display. The Tab 3 will work just fine, but it's display is, in my experience, mediocre. But then again, that's my opinion for the tablet's entertainment side, if I needed to use it for a simple slideshow, it would do the job just fine.

I'm unsure what your budget is, but here are some examples (As a new user, XDA won't let me post direct links, you will have to google/amazon them manually)

))- The Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 has a phenomenal screen at 8.4 inches it's probably the perfect size. 359 PPI - $220 on amazon.

There are tons of different android tablets, and many different Samsung variations, listing the ones I would consider competitive for your needs, I would be listing 10 Samsung tablets alone. When researching the perfect tablet, make sure you consider Price, Screen Size, and PPI. For simple slideshows, the RAM, Processor, and other internals really won't make a difference.
[General Topics] supernova18:
Wow, really thanks for your feedback.

I read something about that battery intelligence when connected to AC power yeah, but I was wondering how long could tablets live turned on permanently.

It's not the same thing if I should change tablets every 2 months or every year.
