[Motorola Droid RAZR] crypticvoid:
So I decided to root my phone and then flash it with Cyanogenmod 12.1 Nightly Build following this guide http://xdaforums.com/droid-razr/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-0-t2950906. Unfortunately I could not install google apps on my phone because the partition created by safestrap was too small, I am used to installing roms that completely replace the old one so I was not expecting this to happen.

So I attempted to install the nightly build on my stock rom in order to get the space that I needed. I made a back up to my SD before formatting the stock rom and attempting to flash nightly to it. However when I turned my phone back on it would boot and then display the android lying on its back with a exclamation mark inside of a triangle. I worked out how to get to the recovery menu from here and attempted to restore the safestrap back up from there but it did not work. I then attempted to update using the cyanogenmod 12.1 zip, at which point I was presented with "installation aborted", I trawled these forums looking for the retail rom, which I found and they gave me the same result. I have tried using the RSD Lite to flash it back to stock and the result is an immediate fail.

In the AP Fastboot menu it was displaying that the battery was ok but that it could not programme. Now, because the amount of time that I have spent trying to fix it, it is displaying that the battery is low and therefore I can no longer flash it.

Can anyone help?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neo.ank:
First of all, you need to charge it.

There's a thread, here somewhere that might help you to do so.

Either get a factory cable or you might need to work with your usb cable.

Once you have power, get the right ROM and flash it using RSD.

Its been really long since I had a Razr, but one thing is for sure, you need enough juice in battery.

Did anyone receive their Kaiser from MobilePlanet yet?

If yes when did you guys pre-order?

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] UnicornKaz:
I pre-ordered mine on Aug/27 ... at that time ETA was sept/09

last few days, they have been pushing it back a week...

and as of today it has been pushed back further ( sept/20 !! :eek: )

I emailed them for answer and told them that i will cancel the order if they keep doing it again !! ( not good for one's heart ..LMAO ! :p

BTW ... at the original time .. my order was quoted $799 USD + %7.5 tax + S&H (14.99 ) --->>> TTL= CDN $924 +

anyone know anything regarding the quoted price & the balloon prices ???

am I obligated to pay a higher price once stock is in ?? do I get the discount price if it happen to be lower then at the ordered time ??

I'd also emailed them about this already ... and I'm about that close to canceling !!!

there are stocks around ... but it's not right for expansys to keep playing with customers emotion like this ... you're so close to the date & then they just crush your bubbles .. not only one time, but again & again ! :mad:

and why suh a price cut throat/difference when it is also from the same company but different region ??

Mexico is almost $100 USD higher ??

Dude I assume that you are in Canada as you converted your order to Canadian. I ordered one with SuperiorGadgets.com from here in Canada and it was only $911 inc Gst and shipping. He will ship by the 9th he says. If price goes down you will be credited if it goes up, they eat the difference. Click on the link at the top of the forum page.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] UnicornKaz:
Thanks for the info ..but ...

I was going to cancel the order regarding the "in stock" date keep being pushed back ...etc

just got an email from "mobileplanet" and mine is shipped (sept/06/07) ... with tracking number !! :D ETA Sept/11/07 ... nice date.. eh ??

oh well, I lost $12 ... the price to pay for wanting the latest/greatest.

Thanks again ;)

P.S ... the %7.5 tax charged ... they assured me it will cover "customs" ... absolutely no hidden/surprise charges.

Are you all paying $800+ because you want it so bad? Isn't the retail price from Cingular supposed to be $499? Granted, its whenever that will be.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Bratag:
Just called mobileplanet. They did get an order of 1000 in but they were for retailers and the old backorders. Mine was one day short so will ship next week :(. Not sure how you managed to snag one today. As far as paying full price there are several reasons.

1) I dont like locked phones.

2) I wanted the base OS not at&t

3) at&t's data plans are incredibly expensive and the difference in data plans would more than offset the 200 saving in less than a year and I would be bound to it for 2 years. Yes I know they have 3g but I dont use data on the go much and edge is fine for now and wifi is everywhere.

When plugged into my laptop, I hear it connect then couple seconds later it disconnects and continues to just reboot itself.

This seems be better suited for the "About xda-developers.com" forum, but apparently questions are not allowed there.

With many threads containing hundreds of pages and thousands of posts, it is challenging to read the entire thread, looking for that one post that could make the difference between success and disaster.

The "show printable version" option under Thread Tools has an option for "Show 50 post(s) from this thread on one page". This helps, but that still results in more than 100 pages for some threads.

Unfortunately the site seems to prevent editing the url from "&pp=50" to "&pp=500" to get 500 posts per page.

"Please remember: After you have flashed the kernel in Recovery, perform the following steps:

go to menu "Wipe and Format Options"

I am in Denver, Colorado right now and using Cricket Wireless network (Sister company of AT&T).

I am also having non-american version and with stock Rom and Latest Gueste kernel.

Cricket representative set some APN on the phone to get it work but its working with 2g only. I am hardly able to use internet.

Any suggestion ?
[Elephone P8000] assassindroid:
"Non American" Version A European P8000 is only able to recieve 2G signal.

Can you confirm what P8000 phone you have? The box should have a bar code sticker that says P8000(B) or maybe P8000(A)?

I have B, A should be Euro

Version B also has the battery drop (at least mine). I now have the latest guestekernel with the experimental fix installed but the damn battery lasts so long that I never get down that far, so I can't verify the fix, yet. Well, a good problem to have I guess.

The only concern I have with the P8000 is the integrated non-removable battery.

Will the battery wear over time? My Samsung Galaxy S3 stock battery had to be replaced after 2.5 years of heavy usage

If the battery goes bad or degrades is the phone brick at this point?

If the phone freezes and does not auto reboot, what then?
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
I've had this phone for several months now. The battery is great, no matter what I had to do in was always able to flash the stock ROM, which I believe is posted on XDA. Even then if the battery does go out I believe you can order a new one. Do a google search to double check
[Elephone P8000] kgoerbig:
Thank you for that information. I did find a video of how to replace the battery, and it looks pretty straight forward.

Last question, since this phone does not have Gorilla Glass, have any one here gotten a TPU case and tempered glass for it? If so, please provide links. I drop my phone from time to time so a TPU protective case has saved me numerous times.

[Elephone P8000] jsphonorio:
When I went into engineer mode and checked bands. I did not see 41 or 38 marked which I thought should be. Would someone with a B-version working with a US sim be able to check in engineer mode and let me know what bands are available. This is not a major skillset/knowledge for me so please let me know if Im looking at this the wrong way.
[Elephone P8000] Dvalin21:
You should have bands 2, 4, and 17

Sorry forgot about the bands
[Elephone P8000] jsphonorio:
Well the bands match up. Thank you. My sim card should be here next week so I can try it out. It seems so strange that there is no easy way to identify which version you have. I check your first post and my build number matches so maybe that is some indiciation. Thanks again!

Questions about Dual Sim ETC.

Does the Dual Sim support 3g/4g on both sims. I know you would have to setup in settings but i want to confirm i could use either sim as a 4g sim or is one sim strictly 2g like many phones i have seen. '

Also since your original post its been sometime. Is the phone still working good or have you found any issues with it that you dont like i have seen mixed reviews on the thumbprint scanner working great others say it does not.

Is call quality good and clear and how?

Have you done pictures and Video and what is your take on them. Again i have heard lots of good but some bad.
