will you get the note 8 ?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] amyf27:
Likely will. I will wait to see the actual specs once it's announced and the specs are published on the carrier sites. Did the same with the 8+. I went thru the Note 7 recall twice.

Try flashing the firmware by The Strix in the official LOS 14.1 thread.

Keep in mind, it wil Re Lock your bootloader and the rom will not boot at first, you gotta re lock it before you can do anything.

P. S : Unlocked the bootloader officially.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] @pulkit:
Firstly flash the firmware then the required Nougat rom, Reboot the system. The phone will not boot at first, from there go to Fastboot mode. Unlock the bootloader using mi unlock tool. After the unlocking completes, the phone will Reboot. Go to recovery. Flash the roms as usual.

How can I root my device
[Motorola Droid 4] Shplad:
Hi everyone:

I'm an ex IT tech. but don't know that much about smartphone tech. I say that because I'll follow along quickly if people can use metaphors that relate back to PCs. I've used Linux a bit but am not a Linux expert.

I have a Droid 4 with Jelly Bean on it. I'd like to upgrade it to whatever is the most stable later custom version of Android. Do people recommend CyanogenMod 12? Some LineageOS version? Stability and having everything work as much as possible is what's most important to me. Speed would be a bonus, but it not as important as stability/functionality.

I've done the following to prepare for this:

-Taken a screenshot and put it on my PC to keep track of which version of Android I have.

-Downloaded SafeStrap 3.75, but don't know if I have the right version for this phone. Somewhere I saw something about

a special version for the Droid 4.

-I'm not sure which gapps version to download. Will later versions have more apps but be more likely to

have compatibility issues with an older version of Android?

-I know how to get into developer mode

-I know how to get into Fastboot mode

Any help would be appreciated.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
see the index for correct safestrap version, 3.75 is latest, but you need the Droid 4 one

[INDEX] Development Motorola Droid 4

GApps are android version specific, opengapps.org are good

I haven't used the Droid 4 much since cm11, it's likely still a good option

sd_shadow's How-To Videos for Droid 4
[Motorola Droid 4] Shplad:
Thanks, however I was looking for something a little more newibe-friendly. There are literally dozens and dozens of pages to read. On top of that, the link to the SafeStrap is dead, and there are circular links, all of which appear to go that dead link. As well, the page to download the patch to enable the GSM on CDMA Global phones also has dead links.

Nothing simpler?
[Motorola Droid 4] OGdroidster:
The link for safe strap is not dead there are two versions. One from stargo and the other is a modified safe strap for unused partitions redone by some one else. You need to look in the correct posts and thread. Here is the download: http://www.internauta37.altervista....afestrap-maserati-v3.75-unused-partitions.apk

As far as for gsm keep looking you'll probully find something. I can't help you with that because I never needed to use but it shouldn't be to hard to do or figure out.

As far as wich rom you want to use just try a few different ones and see wich one you prefer to use as a daily driver.
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Hi Shplad,

It all seems a bit overwhelming at first, but there isn't that much to it really. So, if you've got some IT experience, I'm sure you'll be fine. I always use the latest version (out of curiosity), but from what I've read, CM11 is considered pretty stable, but 12 and 13 are good too. And you'll probably find you don't need the GSM patch as it'll just work automatically - I think it was required in CM12 at one point, but that might be fixed now.

You haven't mentioned rooting. If you haven't already done that, you may as well get that done first, and it's covered in the pages that sd_shadow linked to. And I had a quick look at the links to safestrap in the pages that sd_shadow linked to, and they all seemed ok to me (as OGdroidster has just said also). You just need to make sure you've got the one with 'maserati' in the filename.

So, (from memory - could be wrong), you just need to:

- root the phone

- download your chosen rom and gapps

- install safestrap

- in safestrap install file system then boot into recovery mode

- create yourself a slot in the boot options

- make sure your new slot is the active one (it tells you at the top)

- install your chosen rom and gapps in the install section

- reboot

And if you get stuck, you could just ask, and I'm sure someone will answer pretty quickly.

Good luck
[Motorola Droid 4] Shplad:
So, which versions of Android are CM11 and CM12? Can anyone else chime in and let me know if CM12 is better or more stable than CM11?

It turns out I could not download the Safestrap because my firewall was blocking some advertising/metric site which was required to go that page. Got it now.

Not sure what the GSM code you refer to is for. Will the upgraded phone with CMxx not work by default on GSM networks, or is something different?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
CM11 is KitKat (4.4), CM12 is Lollipop (5), CM13 is Marshmallow (6) and CM14 is Nougat (7).

I was referring to the GSM patch (that you queried above). What I was saying, was that in most versions of CM, GSM automatically works, so you won't need to apply the patch. But if you did have a problem, the links seem to work fine to me.

If I was you, I'd try out a few versions and find which version you prefer, as I don't think anyone will be able to tell you which is 'best'. I would have thought you'd be fine with 11, 12 or 13 though, and because you can have multiple roms installed with safestrap, you could install all 3 if you wanted!
[Motorola Droid 4] Shplad:
Thanks. I guess I wasn't aware that you could use any CM. I thought only 11 or 12 could work properly on a Droid 4. So, any of those ROMs might work?

Also, at what stage do you install the GSM patch if it is necessary?
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
As far as I understand it (which could be totally wrong), 11 and 12 are no longer being developed and will only receive security updates, so from that point of view, I guess they will be more stable. But 13 and 14 will work, but there may be the odd issue here and there (particularly with 14 which is still quite new). You'd have to have a quick scan through the comments to see if there's anything that's like to be a problem for you.

With reagrds to GSM, I should just try it and see if it works to begin with. If it doesn't, then download the patch, reboot, go into safestrap, install the zip then reboot.
[Motorola Droid 4] Bobcus Leper:
Hi,

If you are going to use a ROM with ART (Lollipop CM12x and above) Do not use CM12. It is old, outdated, and laggy. CM13 (LineageOS 13) provides a superior experience. Once LOS 14.1 becomes official for our devices, I would highly recommend upgrading to it, as it provides superior memory management.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shplad:
Wow, this is a lot to take in. Thanks. So, I don't quite understand the repercussions. Once I root, does that mean any ROM OS that boots is somewhat more vulnerable, cause it's like being logged on as root in Linux, or does it depend which ROM I'm using or something else?
[Motorola Droid 4] Shplad:
Okay, I figured out after my last post that root status depends on which ROM you are running, and of course installing a ROM without root status would put you back to unrooted status.

I downloaded Lineage OS 13 and verified the MD5SUM. I rooted the phone using Shadow's video.

Now I want to make an image of my NAND or have some other method of restoring the stock ROM before I install a new ROM. At what stage in the process do I do that and what is the safest tool / method to do that? RSDLite? Adding another ROM slot and using Nandroid backup?

Awaiting anxiously...
[Motorola Droid 4] Shplad:
Alright, I learned from Googling that RSDLite can restore a ROM to the phone directly from your PC.

Does that wipe out any upgraded, more modern ROMS that I put on the phone, such as Lineage OS 13? Is it like having multiple partitions or hard drives on a PC?

How safe is the RSDLite procedure? Can someone explain the pros/cons of doing it that way versus (as I understand it) having 2 ROMs on the NAND available? I see a lot of HOWTOs, but very few explanations/diagrams/theory. If I could relate this back to PCs, I'd be able to understand better.
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
As far as I understand it, and again, this could be wrong, using RSDLite is usually a last resort in the unlikely event that you've completely messed up your phone. You will lose everything, and your phone will back to how it was when you bought it. I've never needed to use RSDLite myself, but from what I've read, it's a pretty reliable way to get your phone working again. As long as you follow all the instructions, and install CM (LOS) 13 into another slot, it's very unlikely that you'll damage your original stock rom and you'll still be able to boot into if ever you need to. Hopefully, someone who knows more about it will comment also...
[Motorola Droid 4] Shplad:
I got Safestrap 3.75 special version for unused partitions installed. I didn't realize it allows you to make TWRP ROM backups.

I made a backup of the stock ROM. The first time I did that, I got an error stating it couldn't find or access /boot.

Strangely, the second time I tried, it seemed to work fine.

I copied the folder with the stock ROM backup to my PC, just in case. I managed to flash with Lineage OS 13. It booted fine, but I forgot to select the Gapps zip as well. It does not appear to be rooted after bootup.

1. Do I need to reinstall Lineage 13 or is there way to install the apps without reinstalling Lineage?

2. What is the normal state of this ROM? I'm not sure if I have to root Lineage 13. If I don't enable root, will I be unable to run TWRP recovery and add the Gapps zip file and reinstall? I don't want to be stuck with a successful Lineage install and no apps. I'd find another way to install the apps, but I'm guessing you can't without the apps themselves, no?

Help!
[Motorola Droid 4] Shplad:
Okay, I figured out how to install just gapps 5.1-2015-05-23-24 . However, during configuration, I cannot get the phone to connect to gmail via WiFi (I don't have a data plan).

"Validating Server Settings...

Couldn't open connection to server."

I see other people had this in other version of Android. Is this a particular problem in Lineage 13? Any solutions known?

...AAAANDDD Google Play Services has closed.

Hmm...this does not seem very stable at all. Has anyone actually tried Lineage 13 on this phone or was it just a guess that it might work?

EDIT:

I tried these suggestions, just in case.

https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/gmail/ACSvDiQoufI

Now, I'm getting the error:

"Problem with account setup

Username or password is incorrect"

Google Play Services keeps closing. Should I uninstall the gapps and install a more compatible one? I think network connectivity is not stable.
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Hi. I don't use gapps, and I'm uisng LOS 14 myself. But there's 57 pages of comments for LOS 13, so I think it's fair to say people have tried it! Now you've got it installed, you could post in the LOS 13 thread, and ask people which version of gapps they are using.

P.S. The first post in the Droid 4 LOS 13 thread appears to suggest using OpenGApps and has some details on how to install, or you could read through that thread for other tips.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shplad:
moodroid:

Thanks, but on which website? There are quite a few Lineage OS forums.
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
I meant on this website. In the 'Droid 4 Android Development' section (https://xdaforums.com/droid-4/development), there a thread for each of the roms. The one for CM (LOS) 13 is https://xdaforums.com/droid-4/development/cm13-0-marshmallow-unofficial-builds-t3270938

Thanks for that. I didn't post there earlier because I thought it was only for developer reports of bugs, and my coding skills are exactly zero. Should I wait to see what happens in that other thread and not post back here until I hear something from there?
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Ah, right. No, you definitely don't need to be a coder to post in those threads. Since your questions are now specific to LOS 13, rather than being general, I'd say your new post is in the right place. But it's entirely up to you. I'm just a nobody who was trying to help. I hope you get some answers...
[Motorola Droid 4] Shplad:

AAhhh! More luck. The battery may be wearing out.

Does anyone know where I can find a genuine Motorola EB41 battery for a reasonable price in North America, or a (quality) name brand compatible? I was surprised to see that Rayovac makes a compatible. Has anyone tried it? This was my second battery, and it was not a proper battery like the original, so I'm looking for something I can count on

That being said, I'm not willing to pay for stupid Moto to take my phone and replace it for me @ $120.00 plu shipping, which I was told is their usual policy for these things.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shplad:
EDIT: Rayovac has an exclusive arrangements with Batteries Plus, and Batteries Plus has an arrangement with Motorola. So you can't buy the Rayovac version of the battery anywhere but Batteries Plus, and they won't sell it to you without you bringing in/sending in your phone and your paying extra for "repair" fee. That comes to about $USD 110.00 .

Update on battery info: The only decent brand name battery I could find was Rayovac. It seems to be only sold through Batteries Plus. Price is approximately $USD 70.00 and you have to bring your phone to the store to have them install it (by rule of the OEM, acc. to the rep .) That must mean there's some ridiculous installation fee. Heck, for that much, you could almost buy one of Sugen's high capacity batteries, with double the capacity.

Does anyone know of a source for these or other name brand or genuine Moto batteries for the Droid with pricing in this universe?
[Motorola Droid 4] moodroid:
Are you sure you've even got a problem with your battery, especially if you didn't have any reason to think so before? You said in the other thread "Now, the battery was at about 98% when I did a few boots to the boot menu and a few that went to nowhere. ". Rebooting does use quite a bit of power, so if you'd rebooted several times, then I would have thought that could have easily emptied it. What's the performance like in normal day to day running? If you positive you do need a new one, then I'd be tempted to go for one of the cheaper ones (or a refurbished one) and just fit it yourself, which should be pretty cheap. Or, you could buy another Droid 4 off eBay for cheaper than the prices you mention above!

With regards to your wifi issues, while you're waiting for some other responses in the LOS 13 thread, you could always create yourself another rom slot and give 11 or 12 a try. And if you get the same issue with those, then there's definitely something funny going on.
[Motorola Droid 4] Shplad:
moodroid:

Thanks. No, I'm not sure the battery's bad, but I'm thinking I want a spare anyways. This battery is from 2014. Though I basically almost never used the phone since then, I like to be prepared.

eBay sellers have lots of "EB41" batteries to choose from. But if I don't want to buy just any battery, it's because I'm not fond of swelling and exploding battery stories. Or just batteries that stop working after a couple of months. Can you recommend any particular source or seller?
