[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Android Development] sovrce:
Alright at this point, I'm kind of "throwing in the towel" on trying to salvage what I've got here. When I flashed to 1.2A with V4A the first time, I followed the instructions to a T but didn't do the "fastboot erase ddr" because of how it was formatted in the HowTo file. Admittedly, my fault. Everything else though, from SEVERAL data wipes and cache clears, was all followed as it was written in the How To file. That said, here are the issues I've run into now:

-Sometimes when I boot up, I can't play any music at all. I tap on the widget or launch the player itself (PowerAMP) but nothing happens. The same goes for any type of streaming music from websites to TuneIn to SoundCloud.

-Sometimes when I plug in or unplug a headset, the music will stop and I can't play/hear anything until I reboot.

-It would "soft reboot" periodically for seemingly no reason.

-When I try to power down, it just hangs. For example, this morning it hung for 65 minutes while it displayed "Powering down..." and I eventually just had to simulate a battery pull (Power + Volume Down for 7-10 seconds) in order to get it to shutdown/reboot.

-Randomly I would boot up and 1 out of every 5 boots, I wouldn't get any data. Just 1 bar or "1X" (I'm assuming that's what it was). This was eventually resolved by going into More Cellular Options (or whatever it's called, I'm flashing my phone at the moment) and making sure the Mode was just set to LTE/CDMA instead of one of the other options that included something like UTMS and then pulling out and reinserting the SIM card.

-General lag/stuttering to the point where the phone seemed to "freeze" solid for 5+ seconds before I could do anything or the Back/Home/Recent keys would respond.

SO.... here's where I'm at now -- I just powered down, booted into Fastboot, got into Recovery and cleared data + cache 5 times. I then powered the phone off and went back into Fastboot and connected my PC to my phone. From there, I downloaded "Computerfreek274_Turbopop_1.2A_base.zip" and ran through the HowTo file all over, flashing boot, logo etc as well as erasing what I was instructed to.

I ALSO MADE SURE

to run "fastboot erase ddr" this time

WHERE I HAD FAILED TO DO SO BEFORE

, when I flashed the first 1.2A IMG, "Computerfreek274_Turbopop_1.2A_V4ABase.zip". As much as I'd really, really like to get V4A working, I'm going to go this route for now to test everything through the weekend.

***COMPUTERFREEK274 --- I IN NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM BLAME YOU AT ALL --- I MADE A MISTAKE DURING THE FLASHING PROCESS***

BUT, I do have two questions for you (or anyone else who'd be willing to answer/explain):

1 - Could my overlooking/failure to run "fastboot erase ddr" when I flashed the first 1.2A IMG have really messed things up that bad for me? I did not run "fastboot erase ddr" the first time and had the above issues. When I Googled "android ddr" though, all I could find was information on the video game, so I don't know exactly what "ddr" is in that context. Is that what the issue could have been..?

2 - When I flashed (and re-flashed) the first 1.2A (the one with V4A) IMG, after setting up the device and getting all my apps installed, I would then reload all my old pictures, videos and music, roughly 10GB of data onto the phone. Could this cause any issues at all? I figure at the end of the day it's really just 'data from hard drive A transferred to and then read by hard drive B' but I don't know a fraction of a percent of what you do, ComputerFreek, so I thought it'd be good to ask as I plan on transferring those same pictures, videos and music to my phone running Computerfreek274_Turbopop_1.2A_base after I get all my apps installed and my phone set up the way I like it.

I sincerely apologize for the blog, gents. I just figured this will act as both a reminder/warning to people reading who have yet to upgrade to 1.2A as well as a troubleshooting post for myself. Thanks in advance for not only reading all that, but any help whatsoever! :)
