I have a Motorola droid razr m model XT907. It's rooted and GSM unlocked. I'm using it on Straight Talk currently. Verizon is pushing this 98.18.78 update which I hear unroots the phone. I want to know which of the verizon apps I need to freeze or remove to prevent this update.
Thanks in advance

Just a heads up, you posted in the Razr HD forum, but no big deal the procedure will be the same for both. When I was running stock ROMs, I would freeze the updater.apk in TiBU to prevent OTAs. However, the new update is rootable with Motochopper 1.3, but you can't unlock the bootloader. If I was in your situation, I would unlock the bootloader now, take the update (for the improvements it offers), re-root it, and unlock it for GSM again. Once your BL is unlocked and you have a custom recovery installed, all you have to do is flash SU in recovery to regain root.
I thank you for the answer. You make it sound so easy,. However, I needed step by step instructions to get where I am now. Can you point me to some to do this? I've unlocked the GSM a couple of times using CellZealot's post. That's no problem. I have titanium backup to freeze the updater.apk, but what is TiBU? I'll get Motochopper in the meantime.
Duhhhh, I just figured out what TiBU is.

If you don't want to unlock the bootloader and want to take the OTA, then root afterwards, you can find Motochopper 1.3 here:
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...oot-razr-m-xt907-for-locked-devices-on-91878/
If you want to unlock the bootloader, look for Motopocalypse here (you'll need root access for this, so unlock prior to updating. The OTA does block the ability to unlock the BL, but does not block the ability to root):
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Template:Motopocalypse
Once you unlock the bootloader, look for the TWRP thread in the Development section, there should be instructions, along with the file you need to install the recovery. Once TWRP is installed, get the updater SuperSU .zip and flash it in recovery and you will re-gain root. If you want to update after unlocking, you can take one of the several stock ROMs running around here and flash in recovery.
SuperSU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Long story short:
- You can stay as is, by just freezing the updater.apk
- You can OTA and re-root with Motochopper 1.3
- You can unlock bootloader and re-root afterwards.
Thanks again. I'll work on this tomorrow and post back.

Ok. I have the bootloader unlocked. I downloaded a rom from here. It's been cleaned up of bloatware and stuff. I have SuperSU and updater SuperSU, but I dont know what to do with it. I also installed TWRP manager. I need just a little more guidance.

Ok, so first, you need to disable the install-recovery script. I built an app to do this (YOU GET TO BE THE FIRST TESTER YAY!)
Install this app: ftp://kd8rho.net/RecoveryFlasherDisabler-public-test.apk
Choose "disable install-recovery"
That will (theoretically - can't test cause my phone's rooted and ROMMed) allow you to install a custom recovery without any hassle.
Once that's done, follow the installation instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226729, starting with this line:
Next, choose your recovery. There are 2 options, TWRP (Touch Win Recovery Project) and CWM (ClockworkMod)

You won't have to boot directly into recovery because that app *should* fix that for you. You can boot the phone normally after installing and run something like "adb reboot recovery"
I downloaded and installed your app. When I ran it, it said the installer was found, but disabled. moving on to step two now. Thanks
Hello. This is way off base but does the update fix the screen glitch? Are there any roms that will fix the glitch?
Thanks in advance!
Xt907 JESUS IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIGHT! *BE BLESSED*
The screen glitch isn't fixed from the update. It might be better. I have a hunch the new radio isn't good for customers with unlimited data in areas with 4G coverage. My phone seems more eager to switch to 3g after the update. Besides that, I can't tell this update foes anything positive. It would be nice to use fastcharge while powered off but for some reason my device will not turn off while it's plugged in. It used to turn off and charge, then one day it quit working. If my battery is low enough and I turn the phone off the green light glows solid for s few minutes then the xt907 turns itself on. Can I downgrade to the previous radio or am I stuck with the new 3g friendly radio that presumably serves Verizon's purposes and not mine?

What "screen glitch" are you talking about?
Oh, I forgot to post back. I managed to screw it up royally. But I have it straightened out now after a flash.
The screen will occasionally glitch on the left side, pushing the screen right and changing the color for about 1-2 seconds

greetings!
I've been searching for hours and bashing my brains trying to get wifi working. It originally broke after an OTA update
tried all the tips and still nothing works permanently. The things I have tried are too numerous to remember or list.
It's not a hardware issue as wifi can work for periods of time but it always breaks - I assume because of an update that downloads and breaks it.
i see talk of reflashing "modules" with safestrap but safestrap has never worked properly and now does not work at all ("unfortunately safestrap has stopped") Can modules be flashed from Odin?
TIA !
Sorry to hear about your troubles man. Been there, done that...
IMHO, if you don't have hardware issues, this what you should do:
ODIN to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2616221 (post 1, the Returning to Stock / ODIN section)
After that root
Root with towel root (https://towelroot.com/)
Install SuperSU (PlayStore) and let it disable Knox.
Install BusyBox (PlayStore) and let it cook
Install SELinux Mode Changer (PlayStore). Run and set it to Permissive.
Install Safestrap (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=45693712)
Now it's time to flash you favorite rom (Safestrap has the list). Copy the following to your SD card:
Your favority ROM
SuperSU.zip file. (http://download.chainfire.eu/451/Sup...erSU-v2.01.zip)
Your modem zip file (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...96&postcount=1).

Same boat as well I believe, need help please.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 AT&T I337 ucufnbn1 MDF. And I've tried to get into the UMTS menu with every possible number and trick I can find on Google, here, YouTube. And nothing works. I just want to be able to sim unlock it and also be able to put cwm recovery on it so I can put ROMs on it. I do have it rooted with Towel and have busy box installed as well as SU. Cyanogen's website picks it up by its other name jfelte or whatever and has a lot of ROMs. If someone could please help me finish getting the rest of the way, that would be greatly appreciated.

You can not install any roms. The i337 on any firmware higher than mdl can only flash touch wiz based roms. See the index, all things at&t.... for roms that are compatible.

This mini-guide should work!
The problem is, in order to get WiFi working, you need to install the NB1 modules, but to do that, you need to install Safestrap. However, you can not install Safestrap because the app keeps closing on you. There is a simple fix to this, which I will explain later. For now, just read this WHOLE post BEFORE you do anything, and keep in mind that I am NOT held liable if you mess up your phone. Use this at your own risk.
1.) Root your phone
If you're already rooted with something like SuperSU or Superuser, skip this. If not, read ahead. Download and install the Towelroot APK file attached to this post, open it, and click 'make it ra1n'. If your phone didn't reboot, now you have root (they need to trademark that). Now, down below, I also included the APK for SuperSU. Download and install it. Now open it. When you open it, let it install the 'Normal' way, not via the 'TWRP/CWM' way. Also, when it asks you to disable KNOX, say yes, wait a couple of minutes (it will still be loading) and reboot your phone. Open up SuperSU again, click 'Yes' to disable KNOX again, and now you have a good base to start from.
2.) Install Safestrap AFTER fixing the error
The error your are getting is easily fixed. Go to the Play Store and install 'SELinux Mode Changer'. Open it, grant it root access, and change the mode to 'Permissive'. Now, open up Safestrap again (you mentioned you already installed it), and it shouldn't force close. Click 'Install', and if the 'Reboot to Recovery' option below is not grayed out after that then it worked.
3.) Download and install the NB1 modules
On your phone, download the included NB1 modules ZIP file I attached for you, and once that is done you need to reboot. After the Galaxy S4 logo, you'll see a screen that says 'SAFESTRAP: DISABLED' and there will be a little robot. TIP: To enter Safestrap, press the menu button (physical, hardware key) under 'Recovery' at that screen. To continue to Android, press the back key (again, physical) under the 'System' tab. For now, press the menu button under 'Recovery'. Now, click 'Install' which should be in red, click 'Add zips', and navigate to your Downloads folder. Now click on the NB1 modules ZIP you just downloaded. Swipe to install, and reboot. This time, hit the back key under 'System'.
All done!
Now, Android should (and will) boot up, and you'll have working WiFi! If, for some odd reason, you don't have WiFi- do NOT panic! Just search around for the MF3 modules and flash those! All is good, all is good. A lot of this guide was taken from my post about my personal method of SIM unlocking the AT&T Galaxy S4 without the dialer codes or an AT&T SIM. It was just modified a little to work for you.
Remember, hit thanks! :good:
I was sitting in my car and looked at the screen and I noticed that the phone was downloading MotorolaOTA 4.0 Does anyone know what it is? I am currently running KitKat 4.4.4 and never did the Lollipop update.
I also stopped the download in process but it appears that the phone would love to continue the download.
Thanks

The phone has an app called MotorolaOTA, which is responsible for downloading system updates. If it was a software update it'd say it's 23.11.39.

For over a month I have been getting the update screen and I would just put it off. Now it seems like it is pushing it's way into my phone.
Motorola confirmed recently that they would be patching the Stagefright exploit for the Turbo via OTA. I wonder if they can somehow force the update since it's such an important security issue this time around. I seem to remember Samsung doing something similar with the S6 shortly after release. I would recommend disabling Motorola OTA until more is known.
Not rooted, cannot disable.
Caught my phone doing the same thing. Is Lollipop larger than 770MB? I thought so, but haven't checked into it.
That's what I have been trying to figure out.

CM 12.1 ROM (Lollipop 5.1.1) for our Quarks is only 390 MB.
So, yeah, Lollipop 5.1 with Verizon bloatware is probably 770MB.
But the 5.1 OTA for Droid Turbo XT1254 posted here is 1.1GB:

Before my turbo was rooted, I was able to block the OTA's by installing the motorola drivers on my windows pc and installing Minimal ADB / Fastboot. Go here for instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57436867&postcount=26
However, I never did download any of the OTA's to my phone but I hope this helps. I believe this is by Rootjunky as far as credits are concerned.

The debloat tool is a much easier way to disable any app on your phone. On kitkat it disables and on lollipop it hides the apps. The hide command on lollipop has the same effect as the disable command on kitkat.

Yea no go on Recovery. It just goes straight to "Installing System update" Got my PC on, downloaded my mofo to my work PC, and not installing drivers and also downloading a stock but rooted version of 4.4.4. not quite ready to move on to 5.1 yet.
Thanks for the help though and tryin to help out! Now to finally jump into my Turbo after 8 months of having it. I miss the days of TWRP on my Razr HD. Funny because i had to reload an old backed up image so i could get some old wifi passwords.
UGH this damn phone. Won't power off when in Fastboot, so i just have to let it sit in fastboot and watch it and just restart everytime it starts up. got 20 minutes left of downloading an image. About ready to say F'it and just factory reset it for now and see if that fixes it or not.
Well flashing a stock rooted rom didn't work. Uses the rooted Quark 21.44.12 image that I download and I know i was on 21.44.12 when i checked last time. So don't know if it was because of the starting up the update or what.
Soft bricked my turbo, time to use RSD Lite again. Haven't had to use this in a LOOOOOONG time (Like Droid X Days)

No I had to get my phone backup asap. using the RSD Lite method actually didn't work. the program would keep freezing right after it read the zip file and then crash. Had to use Root Junky's method. I was able to restore back to stock 21.44.12 and everything was there as if nothing happened so I'm all good.
Lets see if it comes faster to our Device then Marshmellow...after Google released it to the Manufactures.

You can't install OTAs with a custom recovery. You'll need to flash the stock recovery first and try again.
Got that system security OTA notification as well today. I'm using the stock ROM with root (SuperSU flashed via TWRP). Can I stay rooted to apply the OTA with the stock recovery or do I have to flash the RUU first?
Solved:
Make a backup with Titanium or however you like. Save all your data from internal SD. Afterwards apply latest RUU.exe from HTC (depending on your carrier). If you wanna reroot, I would suggest SuperSU 2.65, because newer versions end up in bootloops.
Don't expect Nougat this year...

If you are flashing from 3.39.531.7 to .12 then you need the stock recovery from 3.39.531.7 to be installed.
If you've already flashed a custom recovery like TWRP, then just pull down the RUU from HTC's Web site. Be warned, however, that it will wipe the phone back to factory-fresh, so back up all your files/data/photos/music etc. and remove the SD card just to be safe.
RUU 531.12 T-Mobile
And to answer your specific question, I don't have the stock recovery for 531.12, but I presume that I will later today after I RUU my own device. I don't know how to archive the stock recovery but I plan to flash over it immediately with TWRP.

RUU 531.12 T-Mobile
And to answer your specific question, I don't have the stock recovery for 531.12, but I presume that I will later today after I RUU my own device. I don't know how to archive the stock recovery but I plan to flash over it immediately with TWRP.

you should

to relock your bootloader - remeber - to save alll yor apps / settings (via TitaniumBackup for exaple) before
(re) unlocking bootlader will wipe all data

I just got a OTA message to move from 3.39.531.7 to 3.39.531.12 I'm with T-MO and have it rooted with Teamwin recovery 2.8.7.1_CPTB-B1 on 6.0 Marshmallow
I just wish I knew how to do the upgrade all I do is go round and round, when I tell it to update it boots into the TRWP mentioned above and I have no idea what to do next.
guess I will wait until the smart people figure it out

I just got a OTA message and doing the upgrade to 3.39.531.21 will let you all know how it goes.
since I had TWRP installed , I had to download the RUU from HTC to do the first update to .12 , it went well 2 weeks ago when I first posted here, except it wiped out TWRP. then 3 days ago my phone started complaining , when ever I tried to change permissions on apps , with a message telling me to turn off draw over on the apps, all the searches on google, sent me to people telling me it was Twighlight causing the problem , EXCEPT I don't have that app installed, then it said something about turning off sidekeyborad? I never found it, I hard reset the phone, and as usual it ruined some of my contacts ?? I always loose 5 people I call all the time.
will post in here what new bugs crop up with this PART 2 upgrade of 7.0 nougat 63 things updating now

That's not a bug but a security feature introduced by google. It's meant to prevent malicious apps from making you accept things/permissions you don't want (keyword: tapjacking). Go to settings > app > open the three dot menu > configure apps > draw over other apps. There you can revoke that permission from any suspicious app.
There is an article about tapjacking on the xda portal if anyone wants more information. It's called "How tapjacking made a return with android marshmallow - and nobody noticed". Btw, the article explains why the security feature isn't perfect, too. (Using xda labs at the moment I can't add a direct link to the article. However google should be able to find it.)
I just hope for the classic Non-GP Sense UI. The one with the Grid View Recent Apps.
HTC One M9 is the last chance for the full Sense experience on Nougat, because is the last Non-GP HTC that is being updated.

Yeah you only need to flasb the RUU it would solve your problem
Hey guys,
This is almost certainly a stupid question but I would be grateful for any help. I have a Nexus 6p thats upgraded to the lastest Android O beta version of OPP2. I wanted to finally go around rooting it. I have enabled USB debugging, always allowed the PC's RSA fingerprint and checked allow OEM unlocking. Nothing else has been done before, I plan on following a step by step guide that will help me unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and root etc.
I tried googling and to my surprise I could not find any root guide for this version of Nexus 6p (maybe I am just blind?)
Just tossing this out there. Old, but should still do what you need. Now that I think about it, I should probably go ahead and update parts of it....
Android Job Box
Woah. Cheers mate! so i just need to plug my Nexus 6p in, execute the file and click on unlock bootloader? I assume i have to install super su after that and that will be it? :3 Sorry. I know i am asking stupid questions and you are obv a pro. Also the fact that my version is opp2.170420.019 makes no difference right?

No, shouldnt make a difference. SHOULDNT. lol
The first thing I would do is download TheFlash's TWRP build, and flash that using the tool once you have your bootloader unlocked. That can be a lifesaver. Let me know if you have any questions. Questions directly about the tool, please post in my tools release thread.
Allrighty then, ill take the plunge real soon! Thank you for all the help Any specific why I should go with TheFlash's build instead of this one: dl.twrp(dot)me/angler/? As far as I can see it only supports F2FS which I will probably not be using.

None, specifically. But he seems to always be ahead of the curve for almost everything he does. And I really like his work. Personal preference I guess.
Well your tool works well Bootlocker unlocked and TWRP isntalled. But i flashed the SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip and nothings happening. there is a super su app in the drawer but when i click it it says super su binary not installed. Dont suppose you would have any idea why this is?
Update: okay false alarm. installed supersu v2.8 and appears to be rooted now. although super su keeps on crashing.
Update2: actually no, not working properly. Some apps are getting root - others arent I guess

Only SuperSU 2.79 SR4 or Magisk v13 will have functional root on Android O.
Magisk:

SuperSU:

Even more unstable lol, built for OPP1 not OPP2 apparently. Phone actually crashing now and rebooting after a few mins. Meh, srsly cold feet, am out. Going to flash it back to stock. hope that works atleast.

It works the same on OPP1 and OPP2. But all in all, you'll have better luck with Magisk v13.
I flashed it to 7.1.1 N4F26T using NRT and now the it has severe lag and keeps freezing and screen isnt accepting touch commands. Since this is a fresh install I assume the RSA fingerprint and USB Debuugging option has been unchecked as well? I have downloaded the official stock image of 7.1.2. Can I apply it using recovery or something?
