I froze this app because I decided I would try freezing some apps and was going by the thread on here that has a big list. When I froze this app my phones email and calendar stopped working. I tried unfreezing it and instead of it going back to the app list it just seemed to disappear, it was no longer in the frozen list or the app list. So I just tried a factory reset and now I can't do anything as the phone I keep getting force closes on Accounts, is there anything I can do?
If you REALLY want to stay blurred, go with a fruitcake:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009
Otherwise, improve your phone by going with one of the many nice ROMs in the Dev section. Neutrino/Joker's CM9 are my favorites.
And in case you aren't all ROMtastic yet, unlock your bootloader (MAKE SURE THIS IS OK FOR YOUR BLURRED SELF FIRST. I HAVE NOT BEEN KEEPING UP WITH 2.3.6 ISSUES AS I LEFT BLUR A LONG TIME AGO), flash Romracer's most recent recovery, and then flash the CWM zip for whatever ROM you go for.
If you end up bricking yourself, this may or may not be useful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22583493&postcount=139
well it isn't an issue of a new rom or anything I want, my phone is unusable right now because I froze the blur.res 2.3.6, and with the factory reset I can't do anything because the second it comes on I get force closes on 'Accounts'
And my suggestion is flash a new ROM. If you are concerned about keeping your data, try an adb pull of whatever you want to hang on to.
Oh, and try adb install (ing) the specific apk you froze (grab it from the /system/app under the fruitcake for your ROM).
ohhh haha sorry I misunderstood, but I guess I'll give it a try if it's really all I can do. I'll try to find the apk from the fruitcake rom first though and see if I can do that first, is there any link for how to do an adb install? Thanks!
I just read that people who OTA'd to 2.36 without unlocking earlier have lost the ability to do so. Just regurgitating, again I unlocked forever ago and don't worry about ATT's ball and chain anymore.

Crap, so best option right now would be to unlock the bootloader and load up a custom rom?

No what I read says people on your version (2.36) can't unlock. You should verify this by reading around.

No problem, man. Let the community know how it goes, and for future reference, use the Thanks button (I don't care too much haha). Welcome by the way. A well-asked first post, though it should have been in Q+A
Haha and I will post again with results probably tomorrow
Okay i'm back and very pleased, I unlocked the bootloader with the automatic script tool linked earlier and then used the script for Tenfars recovery in it as well. After that, since I couldn't actually get on the phone to update CWM I just went ahead and tried flashing a ROM. I used Gingermod, I wanted to try Neutrino ROM but I couldn't get to the download links for some reason, anyway Gingermod is now installed (after trying the tegrapart 1100 kernel, I didn't know which one I have so I tried that one after looking at some forums saying most ATT Atrix's are 1100). I had everything backed up with Titanium Backup previously so restoring all my apps was simple, and everything seems good so far thanks again to omni_angel7!

No problem, man. Glad it worked out for you. I'd give neutrino a chance when the links work for you again. Welcome to ROMaholics anonymous! Oh, and to prevent any future error, make sure to get ROMRACER's recovery (recommended) or the most recent CWM. Tenfar's is outdated AFAIK.
Yeah, I heard that as well so I updated CWM with ROM manager. And I found a download for Neutrino so I have it saved on my computer currently, I'm going to wait a few days though and just see how Gingermod goes (since it's smooth and the battery seems good so far)
I've tried everything and get anything to work.
can't get into download mode
only boots to CWM.
tried sideloading, some roms say can't sideload, some send but do nothing...CM10 for instance
any ideas i haven't found yet?
thank god I still have my OG RAZR Maxx with me.
this was after the OTA, i'm rooted etc...I got the OTA message, and dismissed it...but must have somehow tripped it to auto install at a later time because I looked at my phone after lunch and it was stuck in CWM.
I have a couple backups that I tried to restore and nothing. I don't have any ROMs on it because I had been running stock rooted and wasn't decided on a custom rom until I tried out stock KK...but now I'm hosed...any thoughts?
adb push doesn't seem to work right, I thought once in CWM ADB was active...I got adb shell and #...but pushing files does nothing either
fSame EXACT thing happened to me except I have TWRP installed. OTA asked me if I wanted to install and I selected "Install Later" and set the time for after work today. It actually prompted me several times and I kept selecting "install later", after which a prompt said something along the lines of "I didnt have a choice to refuse the update, just could only postpone it.
Well I set my phone down and it must have friggin forced itself to update after so many install later prompts. Anyways, I just got home and will try a few things, I'll let ya know how it goes!

Basically whats happening is your phone is trying to reboot to install OTA but cant because you have a custom recovery installed. Thats actually good news cuz nothing has been installed yet. The command in the above thread just kills the OTA a nd lets you reboot normally.
I see you have CWM, so might be diff, but search the forums....there's got to be something similar for CWM.
NEW 22.21.11 OTA Zip posted on the site 12/1/14
YOU MUST BE ON 22.11.6 TO UPDATE
NEW 22.11.6 OTA Zip posted on the site 11/11/14
http://www.graffixnyc.com/motox.php
OTA is there!
Instructions:
This is ONLY for the XT1095 Pure edition.. Support priority will be given to those with a XT1095. If you have another model number you will have to figure out how/if you can run this OTA. It's not up to this thread to support devices the OTA was not meant for.
IF YOU ARE ON THE FIRST SOAK TEST OTA .5 YOU CANNOT UPDATE TO .6. IT WILL FAIL! YOU WILL HAVE TO DOWNGRADE TO 4.4.4 THEN APPLY THE .6 OTA
Follow @SolarTrans Guide found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-2014/general/guide-update-xt1095-pure-edition-to-t2937074
Be unaltered unrooted system. The device cannot be rooted and then unrooted.. it must be a never rooted system or the update will fail. It seems it's failing on devices that were rooted and then unrooted. On devices that were never rooted or where the user had stock back up they made prior to rooting the ota will update fine
Boot into Stock Recovery
ADB Sideload the zip
For people getting the modem error. Make sure you back up your current modem using the DD command (google if you don't know how)
After that download the AT&T modem from my website, flash it, then take the OTA. You MAY lose LTE after the update. If you do just reflash your old modem and you'll be good to go. It's also been confirmed if you reflash the AT&T modem after the update you will get LTE back.
Download Links can be found on my website: http://www.graffixnyc.com/motox.php
Also, please do not PM me for support. PM's will not be answered. Post it in the thread. It helps other's having the same issue find a solution. If it's over PM it only benefits you and not everyone else

Yeah, so i just got it to start flashing. Yes, you have to be unrooted but this is pretty simple, to unroot:
Go to the SuperSU app, go into the 3rd tab with all the settings, in there, there should be an option, something along the lines of "clean unroot", hit that, it should only take a minute or so
If you still see the SuperSU app once thats done, go into the play store and uninstall it
You are unrooted
To flash, plug in your phone and type in "adb reboot recovery"
You'll the that little android, once you see this, press the UP volume button, then power button, then release
Scroll down to where it says apply update from adb
type in "adb sideload BLAH BLAH BLAH.zip"
It should start applying. Hope this helps!
CRAP. I got an error in the installation and now it won't boot. It was something along the lines of how it didn't have the intall-recovery.sh file. Someone please help!

It seems like either the install-recovery.sh file was removed when you unrooted (SuperSU uses that file) or it detects it has been modified and is failing. You will have to ask someone to pull it from a non rooted device

Could you mirror your system.img to dropbox or mega or something? The download for the system.img is taking 1 day.
Is there a guide to re-root?
will I get the next OTA if I sideload the soak test?
just wondering.
Mine is also bricked due to using unroot in supersu....

No, do not mirror my files. I like to keep count of my downloads. Get a better internet connection. I downloaded the file in less than 5 minutes as others did.
It appears you need a non-rooted system image that's never been rooted. You need to be fully stock. Not rooted and then un rooted. I believe the unrooting process still leaves files in an altered state than their original. If there is a single extra character in a file, if it's the slightest smallest difference the file is considered altered and will fail OTA checks.
Quite a few people have tried this and it has worked. It seems the ones it's failing on are ones that were rooted then unrooted. Derek Ross just told me it worked like a charm for him.
any tips to stop the boot loop? I am parking mine in recovery now to drain the battery.
Btw, it seems the OTA modified modem, system and boot. So theoretically, we can just use fastboot to go back to the your imgs, and the phone should still work right?
Hello, all. I am new and am here for one reason today.
Recently, my dad got a new phone and said that I could mess around with his old Droid 2. I decided to root and try and install CM9 on it to get Android 4. That failed, and I was stuck with a bricked phone.
Basically, I was able to successfully root it, but when it came to install CM and its package of Google apps, the phone would not boot past the "M" logo. Here is the site I used mainly to guide me... (website prevents me from posting this link but I will soon update)
Maybe this site is what led me wrong. The downloads of CM9, the Recovery Bootstrap thingy, and the Google apps came from separate sites each... I think maybe they may've been incompatible with each other.
I did what was logical. I removed the battery, tried to power it on again, maybe even somehow boot into ClockworkMod recovery and not have to start over. Sadly this did not work.
Then, I decided to do a bit of research... I then tried to wipe the phone and reboot. Fail.
I finally came across this video which I resorted to... (website prevents me from posting this link but I will soon update)
I would have to unbrick it... a long tedious process, then start from square one... with not guarantee that it'll even work again.
Through this video, I ran into my final problem... it seems my phone won't even load the Bootloader! Every single time I try, it says "Battery Low...Cannot program". It seems there may be a problem with the battery, SINCE I'VE BEEN CHARGING IT FOR 12 HOURS! My theory about this is that it is trying to load CM from my previous attempt, but drains so much battery trying to do so that the battery itself has very little charge. Another note: whenever I plug it in, the phone goes to the "M" logo and freezes. There's no way to completely turn off the thing, except to unplug it and take out the battery. So, I can't even get the bootloader to work in order to unbrick it! That's about as worse it can get.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My question to you guys is... what would you do in my place? I am still intent on getting CM on this device, but I can't even fix my current state!
1) how to fix my current problem?
2) experienced rooters and rom-flashers: how to get CM9 (Android 4) on this device without bricking it again?
--- Note that I am a noob and this is my first time doing such a thing. I need ALL details!
Thank you guys sooo much for your time!

Like I said, I know I can use RSD for a reset, but the thing is the bootloader won't work. The battery is bad, I think, so it ends up saying, "Battery low, Cannot program". Even if I plug it into the computer nothing happens.

Ok. I will see what I can do. I briefly went over that option in your list.. it seems risky. I am not a person that wants to mess with wires and risk explosions. If I buy another battery, will that do the trick? That'd be safer. I'd rather pay that risk that other stuff. Could you provide me a link to a good battery? I know it sounds dumb but I don't want to get the wrong model.
Thanks for all of your help. I think I'll use your guide to root and get CM9 on that phone.
When I do get the battery and am ready to root and flash, do you think you could chat here step by step with me? I don't want to mess this up again, and you seem like the experienced type of person. Online guides don't really have the best step by step guidance, and even videos sometimes don't do the trick. Though, if you are busy but happen to have a link to a good video, could you send it to me? Thanks!

Low battery options There are 3 options the first is a warning and not recommended MacGyver Method, 2. is Factory Programming / Fastboot Cable, 3rd is a spare battery charger (with link), and 4th would be borrow a charged battery. A new battery may not be charged enough to flash.

I see, I see. So from what I see here, I should buy the Black Hat thing and the charger and try those options to reset my phone.
I have see a YouTube vid where a guy from RootJunky shows you how to do this, so I will be using that as a guide, unless you recommend another way.
Once I have reset my phone, could you help me root and get ICS on my Droid? I still am intent on getting Android 4 on this phone, now more out of trying to solve the mess I've gotten myself into that actually enjoying the final result. Not that I don't want ICS, but I want to learn how to do this the right way. If there is a good YouTube video about how to get CM9 on the Droid 2 or something similar, could you direct me there? Or, do you just recommend the guide you have?

Ok. I have successfully rooted my device and have done a nandroid backup.
I am obviously moving on to actually getting a rom on my phone. Before I start, I have a few questions.
- Is there anything I need to do right now? My current state includes a root and a nandroid backup. What other tweaks do I need to make as of right now>?
- I cannot find a good link to CM9 for Droid 2. Either the site is a virus website or my computer thinks it is. Can you give me a direct link here? In addition, could you provide me with a link to a Gapps link as well? I saw a few links in the guide and heard from RootJunky that Gapps should be installed with any ICS build, but I can never find a page where both are listed and are confirmed to be compatible. Last time, I had gotten both from different sites, and I think they were not compatible.
So, here is what I have in mind. Correct me or add to me if I miss something.
1) download the CM9 build from some site onto PC
2) download the Gapps from some site onto PC
3) attach phone to PC and copy both to a folder on the storage
4) boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and wipe all data
5) in Clockwork also wipe the cache
6) in Clockwork there is some option to "install from SD card". Select that
7) find the CM9 and select that
8) after selecting CM9, also select the Gapps
9) let it run installation process and reboot.
NOTE: the above is almost exactly what I did last time, except I didn't wipe cache and I didn't do a nandroid backup
From the above, do you think I will be successful?

I DID IT! It works now!
Thank you so much! Is there some "like" button I can click to thank you? I was really happy when someone came to my rescue because I thought no one would have any info on an old phone like this one!
Thanks a ton! I hope this thread might help others as well, but if it needs to be deleted that will be okay, too.
If anybody can put up a step-by-step guide, or a video that shows how to properly install it all, I'm sure myself, and much of the community would appreciate it.
Recently, my laptop that I had ADB, and every tool imaginable for Androids, and specifically the Galaxy Series, took a huge dump on me and I lost it all. I installed it so long ago, that embarrassingly I've forgotten how I did it all. If someone could post how they rooted their GS7 (non-edge variant), I would be very appreciative. And I'm sure much of the community would be too. I'm embarrassed to even have to ask as someone who used to formerly develop mods on phones. But it is what it is. It's been so long since I've set it all up, and I've had to do so much since that time that I've simply forgotten how I did it/how to do it. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you ahead of time...
I've tried following the instructions in the sticky above. I ran the 930X ROOT.TAR in the special version of ODIN. And every ran OK. It said "Success" and then rebooted. All seemed well, then it froze on the AT&T Boot Logo. What can I do from here? I know from history that this is one of the points that people panic and claimed "brick" (though I've never seen a real brick from rooting). Any help would be greatly appreciated
There's a great guide in the Verizon forum. Root was universal based on FW. Just make sure you flash the correct 930 or 935 with the modded odin. I recommend you follow the steps to "unroot" for the sake of doing an extremely in depth factory reset. Also make sure you get chain fires latest supersu built for the s7qc.

thank you for that. I'll check it out. Hopefully it'll get me past this bootscreen issue
yup. Great instructions. All set rooted now. Now time to play with xposed and V4A and the like. Yay
OK. Followed the instructions on the Verizon page and used the PrinceComsy version. Stuck at the AT&T logo. How did you go past this step? Should I have used the standard version? thanks

(keep in mind this is only my personal experience...)
but the PrinceComsy version of ODIN was the only one to work for me. How far exactly have you gotten in the process before you got stuck at the logo? You do have ADB installed correctly installed on your PC and turned on on your phone right? and cd-ed the specific "super" folder for the SU adb install, right? FYI: It's not a simple root process, like 1-click roots on previous devices. This is more similar to the in-depth root methods like on the N1 and D1 before super nice devs went out of their way to make it simple. So if you're not familiar with ADB shell and the likes, it'll be difficult for you. But, no matter how high and mighty or condescending people act, we've all had to start somewhere. I'll help you get through the process as much as I can
Thanks for your reply. BTW I am fairly experienced in this stuff. This is what I did to get it to work. ADB and drivers all work fine.
Flashed the boot image using the PrinceComsy version. Got stuck at AT&T logo
Attempted to flash with the other version of Odin. When I open Odin, a window would pop-up with some ini issue and Odin would close immediately.
So I moved the ini file from PrinceComsy version to the other version. At this point, Odin would open and detect the phone at the correct COM port
Tried flashing it with this Odin but I got a SHA256 error
SO..
I went back to stock (which deletes all data, no big deal - everything was backed up)
Boot was successful
Re-flashed with the boot image and viola!

OK. Proceeding with the recommended steps in the install guide, I ran into this one nagging pop-up:
Security notice: Unauthorized actions have been detected. Restart your phone to undo any unauthorized changes.
Its a rather annoying notice that keeps popping up. What is the fix for this? Quick 'google' suggested some people uninstalling Knox altogether and it seemed fairly drastic. Suggestions?

so you got it all figured out and running great now right? No other issues right?
Just to add to this, I have verified that this still works using PG1.

Can you please try restoring to af2?
Thanks for the ping. I think so. One thing I ran into which I don't know if its related to rooting. When I am in a phone conversation, audio on the other end goes in and out after a few minutes into the call. This happens with bluetooth or not. Still figuring out this issue.

Seeing battery drain. So went back to stock /unroot for now.
I was not trying to root my phone but reflash to an earlier version. I tried the Prince version of Odin and it did not work. The version that ended up working is in this thread
