Help!

So I recently got a new old Razr M off ebay after my old one got dropped one too many times. Got it, it looked great, booted great, screen was uncracked. Perfect. Except that it was running Jellybean. No problem, went to Settings and pressed System Update.

"Your device is up to date! No update is necessary at this time." Over and over. I tried a hard reboot, a factory reset from menu, a factory reset from external buttons, but nothing worked. The phone thinks that 4.1.2 is the latest version Android OS. Went to Verizon for help and the guy tried, but he couldn't help either.

What can I do to update to Kitkat? Thanks

System Version - 98.18.78.XT907.Verizon.en.US

Baseband - SM-BP-101032.020.32.78P

Kernel - 3.0.31-g101ca72 hudsoncm@il93lnxdroid84 #1

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
Flash firmware with rsd lite.

I would flash 183.46.10 (not .15)

Then you can unlock Bootloader if you want.

See index

[INDEX] Motorola Droid Razr M (2015)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JenYen:
Thanks!

Just making sure because I'm super new:

Follow your directions from here:

http://xdaforums.com/droid-razr-m/general/how-to-flash-firmware-rsd-lite-to-t3184005

and flash this file: VZW_xt907_4.4.2-kda20.62-10.1_cfc_1ff,

then unlocking the bootloader if I feel brave.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
yes, that correct.

apps and data will be wiped (factory reset) with that version.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JenYen:
Thanks again for your help.

I downloaded everything, watched the videos, checked the file to make sure the file was good, uninstalled and reinstalled Moto Mobile Driver Install , but though I can see the phone on the computer, access and internal and sd files etc., the MDM doesn't see it! It keeps saying "There are no updates for your device at this time. Current Version: N/A." The same happens when I power down and put it into fastboot mode.

The PC device manager shows the ADB MOT Single interface as connected.

But neither RSD lite nor MDM see it. What could be wrong?

I get this when I go to Portable Devices in device Manager after updating drivers found at: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Motorola Shared\Mobile Drivers\Drivers, I get this: The driver numbers look a bit different than what your image showed, though I'm typing from a Windows 8.1 instead of a Win7 PC. Also, an Asus driver is on there. Should this matter?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
phone needs to be in AP Fastboot mode, for RSD lite to see it.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
RSD Lite should work with windows 8, but some have had issues.

If you have a window 7 machine, you will likely have less problems
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JenYen:
Tried a win7 machine and RSD Lite saw the phone! Except, it first threw back a 'getvar' error. After googling, I extracted the folder and deleted the getvar line from the xml file. It started flashing then but threw back another error that has me a bit puzzled:

Failed flashing process. 16/20 flash system "system.img"-> Phone returned failed. Now phone only goes to fastbook screen with fastboot reason: Flash Failure
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
Did you use Notepad++?

If not download Notepad++, edit a new copy of the xml file with Notpad++,

Save changes and reflash
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JenYen:
It worked! Well, not the getvar part, I uninstalled 6.1.6 and installed 6.1.5. after reading a couple of threads, only those guys went from older versions to the 6.1.5. :confused: but whatever works. Yayy! :victory::victory:

Thanks so much! Couldn't have done it without your help!

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkircher:
Hey all

I don't know if this would fit here or not, but I recently flashed to 6.0 and am on build MPA44G, but now there is a newer build out, I guess its a small update from what I've read but its build is MPA44I, as of now there isn't an ota from G to I. I've read that I can just take the system, recovery, and boot image files and flash them individually, if I do that, I will continue to get future ota updates right? I just am unsure since its not a full ota that I would be doing. I don't really want to flash the whole new software since I just got up and running again.

Any suggestions would be helpful.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ak47nerd:
This is the third and final Developer Preview for 6.0, so there won't be a future OTA from Preview 3 to the final. When the final build comes, you'll have to flash the new firmware over the Preview.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00193:
i asked the same question in another thread. what he means is that how to keep apps and data and flash 44I over 44G. im interested in that as well.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ak47nerd:
Since I had 44G already flashed from before, I went ahead and flashed the 44I system, boot and recovery files (in that order), went to recovery and wiped the cache. I still had all of my data and apps from before.

I hoped that helped :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swapnme:
Quick Guide

A. There are two ways to flash

1. CLEAN (NO user data, no nothing, all fresh, MUST if you are doing a major update 4.x->5.x, 5.x->6.x)

Flash Bootloader, Radio, System, Userdata*, Boot, Recovery, Cache*

* i would advise against flashing the userdata and cache with the given imgs, coz it seems to messy up the space to a lower tier, like ur N5 32gb becomes 16gb,

Then FORMAT userdata, cache

2. DIRTY (RETAINS user data, can you used for minor updates 5.0->5.1, slight chance of bootloop is there if you don't clean userdata)

Flash Bootloader, Radio, *System, Boot, Recovery^

*Mostly you need to flash /system nothing else, generally they don't ship a new bootloader or radio, but best practices go for the above five

^if you have a custom recovery don't bother flashing stock recovery

DO NOT FORMAT userdata, JUST clean cache from recovery

NOW in EITHER of them you will get OTAs if you are on on MPA44I and IF THEY RELEASE DEV PREVIEW 4 which is very UNLIKELY.

For the RTM build of 6.0 i would suggest go for CLEAN flash and don't bother with anything else!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriticalComposer:
I hope this is the right forum. I have a generic A13 Chinese tablet but I'm having difficulty tracking down the firmware I need to flash it. There are no markings on the back to indicate manufacturer and the space on the board where the ID is supposed to be found is blank. I took some pictures of the main board, maybe you guys will see an identifying marker that I missed.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
The issue you will find is that there isn't a way to get the firmware. These types of devices are hacked together devices. Half of them are set up to lie about the hardware and source code and default firmware are almost never released.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidXrei:
Are you experienced at all with TOM building? Perhaps you could start out with the android source code and start from scratch building a ROM that has the drivers necessary for the components that you can find.

Sent from my Super Computer (1976) with Tap Tap Talkolution
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CriticalComposer:
This is a bit disheartening to hear. I haven't done any work with TOM building. The closest I've ever done is modifying a stock rom and making it installable in recovery. I have been trying random Q88 firmwares with the Phoenix Card Utility. I have the device booting now at least but none that I have tested thus far have the proper touchscreen driver. I guess I could use one of these firmwares as a starting point. What would be a good resource for learning how to build a ROM and how to discover which drivers I need?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Google has its own building community and there are some great tut in this site as well.

The issue most roms are facing is that the drivers to these devices are almost never available. They tend to be hacked drivers that violate one copyright or another so they are never available to the public.

You might be able to find something on a China based site where they deal more with knock offs then we do here.

hello!

so i have a Samsung Galaxy S5839i and for 2 i'm trying to fix this bootloop !! what i did so far was to install the firmware with odin with only one file in the pda button , everything went well but it still has the same problem , after that i tried to install the firwmare by spliting that file into CSC , Modem and PDA, again everything went ok but when it restarted it remained in the samsung logo screen and the one from the provider. i did wipe cache and data , still the same. i also tried to reinstall the firmware with 2 types of pit , totoro_0623 and cooperve_0623 and still nothing!! what i could not find was the bootloader file for S5839i . i have to say this was my first time doing this and maybe i'm missing something !! can somebody help ? sorry if it is not in the correct section!!:crying:
[Android General] cristitache89:
so i forgot to say ! finally i was able to fix it! just install the software for s5830i and it will be ok !!
[LG Optimus L90] darkgiant:
I have been using Snapchat frequently, but I have noticed that ever since a month ago, when I specifically record videos on Snapchat, there is a black bar on the top and bottom, I am assuming the aspect ratio is off? You can't change the camera settings via the Snapchat app, so I was wondering what could be causing this...

It takes pictures fine though. Really would like to fix this issue, as it is awkward sending a video via Snapchat with black bars making it look like as if I am using some type of ancient phone...
[LG Optimus L90] ardentis:
Can you send a screenshot so that we can see what you are seeing? AFAIK it may be an update affecting video
[LG Optimus L90] darkgiant:
Sorry I just saw this! So I took a random picture of the Chicago Skyline via Google Images (if for some reason this post gets flagged, the original picture can be found here: http://monkeywrenchplumbers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/IMG_44852.jpg).

Anywho, this is how videos on Snapchat turn out (again, I didn't take this picture!) but basically, imagine that picture was a normal 10 second video on Snapchat, that is how the video is usually outputted as, with the two black bars:

[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I have ordered three different cases for my X2. One is the frosted white back clear case which fits perfectly but adds some decent amount of bulk. The other is a completely clear IMAK case (it has small little dots on the back) which I really like but it fits the phone so loosely that it isn't even usable. The other case I purchased is the hard matte snap on case by aixuan which I like but there is no protection on the top and bottom. If anyone knows of any cases that fit well and aren't too bulky please post them here.

Thats about the best I could find. I already had a folio case and a smart case with a window. Just need a lock code, haha.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Benjiro:
That last one looks interesting. Its annoying to always forget a big smartphone like that in the Summer when you do not have a jacket to carry it in :)
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mtyler7807:
Exactly. Thats the only waist holster I could find for a phablet this size. With the black case or folio fit nicely thou.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I like the first one but I wish it didn't have the dragon on the back. The second one I have and it's made for the X2 but the top and bottom are open which offers no protection. The aluminum cases cut the signal a little bit which I don't like. I am not in the market for a holster although that one is nice.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mtyler7807:
The Aixuan case they send me was probably the wrong one. And your right, no protection. The dragon is not to noticable, I use that one the must because of the full protection, The metal case looks the best, doesn't hurt my signal. Which bluetooth headset do you use?
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I actually don't use a bluetooth headset, only the Bluetooth in my car. I was using a Motorola H730 Bluetooth headset about a year ago but my girlfriend uses it now. I may just order the dragon case. It kinda looks like the Spigen cases from the sides of it. I really like the Spigen Ultra Hybrid cases with the clear back. I have one on my Nexus 6. It looks sick with the DBrand Carbon Fiber Skin. I wish DBrand made skins for the X2. This is the only case that is decent that fits the phone perfectly:

(sorry about the cross-post, but this case is really good so i figured I would post here as well :) )

I bought one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o06_s00

Its a bit of a tight fit when you first get it, but it really only needs an extra millimeter or two of width to make it perfect. I took mine to my local shoe repair guy who stretched it for me, and now it's perfect! It's a great case too. The fact that it can swivel and come off the belt clip has turned out to be really important since the phone is so big.

I like covers that have a window. The X2 window is cool. [BEARLIFE] Silk Pattern Flip PU Window View Leather Case with Inner Hard Plastic Cover for Huawei Honor X2 (7 inch screen) (Black) It has the magnet in it and use smart cover on under display.

This is a "PU leather" meaning not leather at all but cheap and relatively fast. Back is hard. Cover doesn't close completely unless pushed down, but I think that PU issue will go away with a little use. Only issue is it hides the beautiful gold phablet. (I never thought I would say beautiful or gold about a phone.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014339VHW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00

I have a different gold window version from a different vendor which, which I'm willing to bet is identical except for color.

At < $13, recommended.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] VillaRegina:
Thanks for the recommendation. I am buying this inexpensive one because I want to see how well I acclimate to a flip case. I am eyeing some of the alligator-textured genuine leather ones with the window on AliExpress. I have sent the seller a message to ask if it's a smart case with the sleep function... I am also happy that this one will come quickly!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
VR. I did receive the second protector (it took a while crossing the Pacific). It is great. It is gold and the back tray is clear so it shows off the device better. (This coming from black and grey phone buyer.). It has two other major advantages.

1) The side spine is stiff and it closes well. I had to keep creasing the spine.

2) The solid spine allows yo to bend the cover back to sit flat. The important part is it does NOT trigger the smart cover. The first cover magnet did random triggeri g with the device open. Best 13.30 I ever spent.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Steamer2499:
DO NOT ORDER FROM "AliExpress"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They ripped me off legally and can get away with it.... They couldn't send me the case I ordered so I agreed on another case in its place and they sent me the wrong replacement... Instead of making it right... They said I could send it back for a refund but would have to pay shipping... They still advertise the case I had originally ordered... They are in China and I'm here in the states which makes it easy for them to rip you off...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] VillaRegina:
Sorry to hear that, Steamer! I just squeaked by with a narrow escape on AliExpress. My issue was with an actual Tablet order. I, too, warn everyone to seriously consider who (and where) you are dealing with before you order... I think the stress isn't worth it...

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

The one that you recommended from Amazon is being delivered on Wednesday. One thing about Amazon... I think they punish you for not being on Prime by extending the processing and ship time of your orders... Ticks me off... Anyway, the one that you recommended came in colors and I chose the champagne gold... I double-checked and it looks like it has a solid color back. So it must be a different one. I am desperate to get it because I am OCDing like crazy not having a case. I still have the shipping screen protector and the back protector on. I will keep them on until they start getting icky... I do already have screen protectors for it. I still am not sure if I am going to acclimate to a flip case... Or be able to set up my phone to take advantage of the window... This is my test case...
[Huawei MediaPad X2] VillaRegina:
I just got this cover from AMAZON today! I got it in Gold. Looks great with the Gold X2! I think a Black one would look good, too. I have some questions... First, I was thrilled to see that the display in the window automatically appears with no setup!!! But, unfortunately, it's not showing the correct city. I am in Suffolk and it's showing Chesapeake which is about 12 miles away… I have no clue how to fix that... My OCD self would be happier if I could!!! Second, my window display only stays on for about 2 seconds and then goes black… is that what it is supposed to do? I wish it would go on when you pick up the phone… Anyway, I like the case so much that I ordered 4 more in Gold from AliExpress (I know…)… they are having their 11/11 sale and they're less than half price… so I got 4 for $14…
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
I guess you do like the case ;}

Try to go into... weather of all places and change the location to your home or have it update (I think every 30 minutes is the smallest time cycle). Also turn on your GPS and may need need high accuracy, though I always leave it on Battery Savings.

It does frustrate me too sometimes. For example the Transparent weather app widget doesn't update (switched to Ambient Weather), so I think it is an Android issue with the X2, not the window.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] VillaRegina:
I just don't like my phone looking "grungy" so I won't feel guilty about tossing the case when it starts to look worn! I have the GPS set to the most accurate settings and the weather app I use shows the correct city (although the street address it specifies is always different and never correct - sometimes it is next door and sometimes a block away but my OCD self is ok with that because that shows on the second page and I rarely look at that page…) So I guess I will just have to grit my teeth and deal with CHESAPEAKE! I looked at the genuine leather cases on AliExpress but most didn't have windows. The only one that did didn't have the sleep function... I was a bit bummed… but this Gold is pretty!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] mtyler7807:
You might have to turn double tap off and pocket mode off for the screen to stay on with a call coming in.

.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
Unfortunately we don't have double-tap on 702 5.0 :( The pocket off is a good suggestion. You can also set some other gestures.

The window off is a "feature" of all window cases I have owned across 5 devices, The intent is to save battery. The fix is to lengthen battery. You can set the display time to lock longer.
[Huawei MediaPad X2] ajsmsg78:
I just ordered one of these skins. They come in different colors and finishes. Just go on eBay and search for Skinomi TechSkin Mediapad X2.

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------

I just went into the Tools folder and went to the Weather and changed the Settings to update every hour of (that's the shortest amount of time possible). I think that is what you meant. Even though I don't use that app for my weather widget... I am sure that will help. Thanks!!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] Rudolpht:
VR,

Unfortunately did same. It appears they use a subset of locations for weather so my town is a town away in either direction, depending where I am close to home. Now it offends MY OCD :o

My city started working correctly yesterday. It then became the weather that wouldn't update. Maybe changing the stock weather to update every hour instead of every 6 hours will help!
[Huawei MediaPad X2] VillaRegina:
I think updating the stock weather app to update every hour helped the smart screen display tremendously! The temperature on the smart screen display is now more in line with the temperature on the display on the weather app I am actually using on my widget. The city has been displaying correctly, too. It does change to the city I am in at the time but sometimes it takes a while. So, I am loving this case. But, still trying to figure out how to get this little hand to hold it correctly when up to my ear so I don't get the black display screen...
