My First Droid Razr M Experience

I got a Droid Razr M for an upgrade, Worked great so i rooted it, Still worked great all that day, then i went to sleep and when i woke and the WiFi would not work!
The toggle switch turned a darker gray, When i tap it it turns on then in a split second turns back off.
I have done a Factory Data Reset and then i did a hard reset and then i wiped the hole thing out and re flashed it to its original state. Still would not work!
So as a last resort contact Motorola for support and they tell me that i had rooted my device and there is nothing they can do. I didn't say anything about rooting it so they must be logging all users data. (Invasion of Privacy?)
So i am back here again, Not being able to use WiFi, On a 2GB/M plan. f%$king peace of $#!+.
Nothing else is bad! Its just the wifi!?

It is probably your fault. A broken radio is your burden why do you think they do not want you rooting? The radio partition can get borked very easily. You need to renew it.
Do my restore. See my signature

There is a lot of verbal running on there but few steps. Read the rsd tutorial & get rsd to see the phone while you have the phone in bootloader - fastboot. Then stop & check in here again....

Ok, SaturnsVoid... so, first, sorry to hear about the problem. Motorola/VZ is giving you BS... rooting won't break your WiFi unless you did something or installed something that would...
What's your current system version?
Have you taken any OTAs since you had it? If not, you may still be able to unlock.
Also, may want to try using WiFi Connection Fixer on the Play Store (requires root...)
If those don't work, try PMing me... I can help you work it out...

Successful Root?

Hey guys, another question here.
Ive been watching arters thread for some time now and i have yet to see anyone there post with the model [SM-G928P]. This model pertains to the sprint verison i currently hold but was wondering if anyone else with this model has been able to somehow root the phone?
Completely dumbfounded at how many models and versions sammy has released with this phone. Or maybe im the unlucky one and have the only P version in the world
Not complaining but was just curious is all.

arter97 said that he won't support Sprint.
Also as far as I know Sprint and Verizon has locked bootloader and when you root the phone, you won't be able to turn it on again.

Sprint can be rooted. It is not yet. See Sprint Note 5 dev thread for the "possibilities " The sprint s6e+ phone should have the same rootabilty as the Sprint note 5.

Thats sad to hear. Also i thought it was AT&T and Verizon with the locked bootloaders? Or was i mistaken?

Oh yeah sorry.
arter97 said he doesn't want to develop it for CDMA Devices, which is Sprint. So, someone MAY come up with root.

Hi
your answer is right and i am agree with this.Thank you for your informative task .

Thats sad to hear. It seems like a great start for the S6E+ however. Hopefully us CDMA users can join the party soon enough. Thanks for the info on arter AK. Appriciate it.

This may be a stupid question, but I recently reflashed my device to stock PD8 and I have this cloud icon next to the signal status. It never goes away. It is even haunting my dreams. Pls help

You have to Odin back to stock. You can't just wipe in factory recovery, it still leaves the eng kernel in place.

I removed all traces of the icon in the imsservice.apk and it is still showing up. I'm going to dig into SystemUi.apk and see if it's in there. Will be busy until tomorrow catching Pokemon at a PG meet up, but I'll keep you guys updated.

Yeah that shouldn't be showing up if you're completely stock. IF you still have the eng-kernel then it'll be there no matter what you do unless you either edit the imsservice.apk file or odin back to stock factory rom.

There are threads throughout the forum about removing the rcs icon in the status bar. It shouldn't be too difficult to remove. I was able to do it but I was receiving an "imsservice error" every time I called certain people. Which lead me to believe it wasn't completely effective so I reverted completely back to stock (it was gone) then flashed the engkernel (which brought it back) and from there I simply considered it a small price to pay for root access. Wouldn't you agree?

It's there to remind you of root

U Firmware Step By Step

Would Anyone Like To Post Detailed Instructions On How To Flash The "U FIRMWARE"? .. Also (if possible) could someone include all the necessary files & give any details on the firmware (i.e. Pros or Cons).. I've seen it mentioned in a few other threads, with some people making claims that it's much smoother, also the root is more stable on that firmware. But I can't seem to find a dedicated thread on it. So if there's one out there post the link or feel free to comment instructions, any useful instructions will be added to the OP

Hi, here's something from our friends with a Verizon s7 edge, they've written a step by step on how to flash the U firmware and what to do afterwards. What You and us t-mobile users need to flash is SM- G935U (TMO region) firmware which u can find on sammobile.com. Please read the instructions carefully and best of luck with flashing. Cheers!

Keep in mind there's also a lot in here that doesn't pertain especially if you don't need root so be careful people, this as Mag says is for Verizon but the process is the same just make sure you have the T-Mobile files if on T-Mobile. You can download at SamMobile I have a SM-G935T which is now a G35U with the new modem APK1 and have wifi calling and VOLTE in my mobile network settings and ZERO bloat which is why U firmware is desired. It doesn't have any carrier bloat because it's not for any carrier so none have installed all their bloat so it's very fast. You will lose root and everything but can redo it and reroot also.. just make sure you're getting the right files and not flashing VZW on to T-Mobile etc etc. I ALMOST did then realized lol. I Got excited. I was never going to root so none if that mattered but I tried it and after all the suggested tweaks and fixed it still ran unacceptable for me so I'm not rooted at all now. Too buggy and too many weird FCs and errors/bugs so I factory rest and flashed U and new modem and my phone has never been faster even when rooted and CPU setting tweaked etc. (Too many bugs as stated)

No because you're flashing an official firmware not a rom. No root and won't trip Knox as other have reported. This is true for all variants since it's an official firmware.

Prob not. Many people including me have done ALL of the post root modifying to make it run better when rooted with very little success. I tried every single post root method to try and get it stable and nothing made a difference and if it did it sure wasn't stable anyways. So bad that I Reodined the entire thing and started fresh and didn't root. The root is very unstable and simply not worth it. I don't need root for anything I care about anyway and my S7 Edge is plenty fast. and running the U firmware there's no bloat except like 2-3 apps which I can live with and that was one major reason to root anyway (to delete the bloat) so meh to root for me.... If you read back many have reported this. I don't need nor want root and when I saw how bad it ran I immediately re did it all. Now it's lightning fast, I get amazing LTE speeds because if the APK1 MODEM and I'm in one if the 319 cities supporting the 4x4 MIMO LTE that the APJ1 Takes advantage of. My LTE is faster than most people's wifi. So I recommend d regarding the Odin and forgetting about root. It's just too buggy and I'm by no way a noob. Been here fir 10 years so I know what I'm doing and I couldn't get it stable enough even applying every single post root suggestion. It ran like crap and wasn't even usable unfortunately. No offense to the root team whatsoever they achieved root and kudos to them it's just not established enough to be a daily driver sorry to say.
My latest LTE speed abiut 20 mins ago. Not wifi....LTE..LOL it's amazing if yoyre in T-Mobile and you're in one if the cities supporting it. I imagine everywhere in the US will sooner or later it most cities. It's relatively new but I'm getting speeds unheard of. Before this I was getting like 10 mbps download and 8 Mbps upload
Not it's more like 6p-70 and 40-70 depending in where in my city I am. It varies deoending on how close to towers and what not you are if course. But damn it's fast.. wow

is there a way to install this U firmware and then simply root it and not install all the other junk? I love it running U stock with the new modem because it HAULS ass, but I want to root so I can edit the build.prop and since you have to be rooted that's hay I ask. But the root causes all kinds of issues and post -root stuff needs to happen to get it even stable which none worked for me, a few did but it ran horrible so I immediately returned to stock and redid the U firmware. so is the something like a way to just root for file access only without it modifying anything else? I doubt it but don't know much abut the U firmware except it runs amazing until rooted at least from everything I'm reading. a couple peeps claim there's is running amazing even rooted but I have doubts...mine ran like total crap even after applying all the tweaks and kernel settings with Trickster and the like (which I know how to use very well and bought it and have owned and used it for years....any ideas? I want to edit the lcd from 640 to about 580 is all and don't want to root if it's going to bork everything up again...

The answer to both of these is that since the bootloader is locked, you can't install custom recoveries which makes custom Roms a lot harder (but not impossible!) There's two that are in the Roms subforum (TEK and Echoe) but I've personally found stock U firmware + root to be the fastest/most stable.

Is your reason for "have to have root" for a specific reason or no? This root us really laggy and buggy as hell so if I were you I wouldn't do it. There's no Roms really. Well two I think but it's going to be more if a headache than the benefit of root. No one "has" to have root. What do you need that's so important by rooting. That's silly....

Hi -
I am a person that just has to have his phone rooted. Dont ask me why, but I do. And I love custom ROMS. Since I do not really see any custom ROMS for the S7 yet,
I will settle for just rooting my S7, I was hopping someone would be kind enough to point me to the correct files needed to ROOT my phone and maybe a small odin walkthrough.
Phone info:
Galaxy S7 SM-G935T 6.0.1
Baseband G935TUVU4APK1
Build Number MNB29M.G35TUVU4APK1

Please provide more info what phone are you flashing. Where did you get the files, are you flashing the home CSC or other one what's exactly happening. Fail is too vague to help you fix.

Hi? Is it possible to downgrade to PB5 from the U firmware? I learnt latest stock got bootloader locked, so can't downgrade

I'm not sure bud. I LOVE the U firmware and the APK1 modem for Tmobile have made my LTE VERY fast and the U firmware as well with ZERO bloat. I wouldn't downgrade anyway but can't answer your question, I simply don't know. Are you on ATT or something? I haven't heard of that firmware even...but I've been on Tmobile for about 6 years or so...

sorry rookie mistake, i was on latest update for the Tmo version, i flashed the Home CSC, it started the first few steps and then got that error. this is the firmware i was using TMB-G935UUEU2APEH-2-160614112610

unlocked S8 [G950U] after Android update can't connect to 4G or 3G network

Hi
I bought an S8 G950U unlocked with Android 8 , it was working perfect as normal connecting to 4G(LTE) and 3G in Algeria.
The day that i upgrade it to android 9 , i wasn't able to connect to 4G and to use mobile hotspot.
I brought my phone to a repairer he flashed my phone and it stucks in "Galaxy S8" screen and loops.
i used odin to flash ADP with firmware (csc: CHA) , it enters to android and it reads the sim in 2G but i can,t reach neither 4G nor 3G.
i think he erased the NAND because the serial number and model number are not true.
and i've other problem, the dial codes like *#06# or *#0011# doesn't work.
idon't know what i should i do. please Help

can you screenshot your "about phone" screen and post it here? Please be sure to block out your sensitive info like phone number, IMEI, ESN etc etc

You can't post pics or links yet. Either 10 or 25 posts.
I always tell people first check imei. Make sure the device isn't black listed. If that's good. We need to make sure it's truly sim unlocked. If so. Then maybe need to flash your carriers csc

I've seen guys flash other country csc files. I just don't know the method as I believe Odin will fail.

since you would be technically changing carrier information with the Odin flash, yes, it should fail in stock Odin. But it will work in modded Odin.

try another cable, reboot your machine, get a new fresh download (dont go directly to sammobile.cim to get it, get the Frija tool or Samfirm, they take literally 1/5th the time to download the firmware sets), try a different computer, uninstall the drivers and let windows reinstall them when you connect your phone, is ADB installed system wide? if not, there is a small tool to do it for you

NO THING of those done . i think erase NAND and re-input SN (that i didn't found) , IMEI and information (prod name, device type...) the repairer made a catastrophe. i installed phone info i can't imagin what i found all information are false.
can i set to zero and re-inter the information ?

how those "they" we haven't samsung service , we have just some stores that sell phones and they can "repair" them
they says to me that they don't knows about american samsung (something that i love because of snapdragon)
thank you for all your effort to help me

Nand erase does not wipe IMEI.
And rewriting isn't discussed on XDA

the "they" is the repair shop you had work on it. its hard to know how to un-do what they did if we dont know what they did
i also cant imagine a repair shop that can work on Exynos S9s competently but not snapdragon ones
