Hey guys so I am facing weird problems. I have searched through the forums either I cant find anything or I am too scared to do any more experiments I really dont want to loose my Razr M XT 907.
Problems
Laggy performance at times
Camera gets stuck when I take pictures at times then I have to restart.
when I reboot my phone it shows AP Fast boot screen, then I have to access boot menu and select the second last option (Console something). It always shows Null:Null and when I change it back the phone reboots normally
Phone hangs sometimes and then responds with everthing I have clicked all at once.
The screen on off button responds a second late
I think you guys can help me better if I tell you what I did to this phone exactly since I got this phone.
What I did
I initially bought this phone with defaul OS 4.0.1 in Pakistan.
I then installed a Verizon system update of 250 MB that got my phone stuck on a boot loop (and made me cry almost)
I restored my phone to the settings it came in using this procedure
http://www.andromods.com/tips-trick/how-to-restore-unroot-droid-razr-m-xt907-stock-original-firmware.html
The phone worked fine for 2 days but then I got that update prompt again and it got annoying so I though maybe If i upgrade it to JB using the same RSD Lite method but a different ROM that may solve it.
So I applied the above Procedure using this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250155
The method showed as Passed on RSD Lite but the phone got stuck on bootloop again so I paniced and tried restoring my phone abck to ICS using the method mention in the first link provided.
Then the phone got stuck on AP Boot Menu
Then I used DROID_RAZR_M_Utility_1.20 and used both methods 1 and two but it didnt work
Then out of the blue I went to the boot menu and I saw an option Switch Console (Null:null) I pressed up key on and null null changed to default:tty something it and the phone booted up just fine back to ICS
Now everytime I power off the phone it goes to AP Boot menu showing FASTBOOT REASON: Sticky bit factory_fastboot and I have to do the above to restart the phone.
What I need
Please help me restore my phone I dont want to brick it, I am a simple user I will need step by step guide
Anyone ?
Bump
Bump still looking for a solution
I have CM10 on mine and the camera is completely broken
Enter fastboot oem fb_mode_clear and problem gone.

Hi, Today like an idiot I've used this app to push the screen up to 4K, happy with the result I've gone too far and set the 5K preset, rebooted the device and... stuck in a launcher/app/logo loop...
The phone is Rooted and running Android 6.0.1, I Have ADB access thru the TWRP. Issue here is that no matter what all the commands like: WM, AM, PM result in this error:
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE: cannot locate symbol "context_lookup" referenced by "/system/lib64/libandroid_runtime.so"...
page record for 0x7fae83c010 was not found (block_size=64)
Of course I could flash new the phone but the ammount of data and how is configurated right now is worth the effort.
Most likely you will need to reflash.. that's why devs says that you have to do a nandroid backup just in case... Maybe try safemode?(Vol Down after the logo appears)
Hi , do you fix it ?
I have the same problem on my s6

Unfortunately not, as CH1N3S3_N00B said gotta do backups when messing with these things!
I needed the phone the next day so hoping google held all my contacts I ended up getting all my data thru adb and then flashing on the new 7.0.1 ROM, TWRP, root and in the end loading up superkernel which allows me to set clock, voltages and governors (just in case is not risky enough that someone might grab the phone and send 2+v to your core )
A side note, if you're gonna flash Nougat watch out that the Xposed thing is not yet avaible, I'm a filthy guy and use modules to hide my status on whatsapp while seeing others and didn't expected that.
Best of luck, keep on breaking stuff up, that's the way to learn, although expensive sometimes!

I'm sorry didn't received any notification! anyway if you read my answer below you'll see how it ended :crying: (the safe mode didn't work, it was still trying to boot at 5k)
Script to fix the Nexus 5X / Nexus 6P Bootloop problem
Credits
99% credit goes to @squabbi for teaching how to patch files yourself and @XCnathan32 for discovering the fix itself.
1% for me for making the script .
DISCLAIMER
THIS PROCESS WIPES ALL YOUR DATA (unless your bootloader is already unlocked) AND PROBABLY YOUR WARRANTY TOO! USE WITH CAUTION! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE!
THIS PROCESS WILL MAKE YOUR PHONE SLOWER (6P 2 times slower, 5X 1.5 times slower)! PLEASE USE ONLY AS A LAST RESORT!
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR WARRANTY TO TRY AND GET A REPLACEMENT BEFORE PROCEEDING!
What does the fix do?
The problem with those phones are the cores of the Cortex A57, and they need to be disabled.
What should you do?
Before proceeding, make sure you have OEM Unlocking enabled on your device, or the flashing won't work!
1. Download the zip below
2. Extract the zip
3. Extract the boot.img from the image you've downloaded (the script explains how to do it if you don't know how) to the folder you've downloaded
4. Open "Script.bat"
You should also download a factory image from this link (unless you live in Japan, don't download the Softbank versions, and unless you live in Australia, don't download the Telstra versions):
6P - https://developers.google.com/android/images#angler
5X - https://developers.google.com/android/images#bullhead
The script itself was not tested, but the method did work on my 5X so it should work.
If you have any requests, you can comment them here, and maybe I'll add them. One day.
I do plan on adding TWRP, Elemental X and Magisk patching one day, and if there will be many requests that day will come earlier.

Thanks, I did the new script and it's kinda getting too long on that boot (circle things) screen. I hope it gets to "android" thing in the end
So I flashed the March rom, It stuck on those circle things. Turned it off to cool down a bit and will power on in an hour. Let's see what happens next.
Yea, it did that for me too and then booted

For my 5x, it booted, but then I've tried to update, but it started bootlooping again, so I've flashed it again and again with no luck. Then I've turned the phone off for some time to cool down, and after that when I've powered it on it just magically worked, and is working since.

That's a good news! Mine just loaded to Homescreen and I don't want to mess with it this time, Turned on Wifi and it didn't restarted, inserted sim and didn't restarted. I hope it never freezes again. Thanks again. By the way did you flashed any recovery, kernel, BLOD "workaround" patch or just your fix script?
Update: Again, As soon as I login my Google account and went to Play Store to turn auto update thing off, the phone froze!

I'm glad to hear! If you could please "Thank" the post, it will be much appreciated. For your question, I haven't used my script on my phone, I've just followed the steps in @squabbi 's video, and then I've decided to create an automated script (which is the script in this thread) to patch it automatically. Which basically means, yes, I have flashed a BLOD "workaround" patch.

Did system wipe from recovery and after some time (Cooling down process!) it boots again and this time I didn't entered my google account. However it freezes time to time even though I've only installed Telegram & Instagram. Is it ok?

When you say freezes do you mean that it lags?
I guess that's ok, as you've disabled the cores, it should get slower. And please (I don't know if you've done that, but I'll still say) NEVER disable oem unlocking on this phone, because maybe it will happen again.
And by the way, I'm a newbie. I've just made a script that automates the patching process but I don't really understand that much about it. I would recommend you (and that's what I've done) to download the newest image, open the flash-all.bat file to flash it onto your phone (this will wipe everything, and install the newest version), power your phone on (it should start bootlooping again) once, and then do what you would do (boot to bootloader, run the script). Maybe the problem is that you've downloaded a wrong version of the boot.img (that means that you haven't downloaded your version, but the newest one. What I just said insures that you flash the right one). To check the right version, go to about > build number, and where you download your image, search for the exact build number. If the problems continue, maybe it's the script. I'll patch the files myself and send them to you. And if all of the above doesn't work, I will redirect you to @XCnathan32 or @squabbi, they will probably help you more.

No it just freezes for 3 to 5 seconds and then the phone restarts. But the boot image is also from march update...

Flashed the March ROM again. Used the script and it successfully installed. On the first boot it stuck on those 4 circles. Sounds like cooling down is the only answer. I can't use my phone constantly :/

Same here, I get an error
After selecting that I am unlocked...
The pop up is fastboot.exe - syetem error
The code execution cannot proceed because AdbWinApi.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.
It does pop up a second time after you click ok...
and then your script says it's done.. but it's not.
=====
I added the dll whicih can be found in the adb tools, I don't get the pop up but then your script says "waiting for any device" so there is something wrong somewhere as my phone is plugged in, and ready.

I fixed the AdbWinApi.dll error, download the script again and tell me what happens. Maybe the original fastboot.exe in my zip was a different version of the AdbWinApi.dll that you added and that's why it didn't work.

the script worked.
Now should I flash TWRP 4 core recovery (edit seems so) and use the AK injector or not needed?
What is Elemental X?
p.s. Thanks!

I'm glad it worked. There is no need to flash TWRP and use the AK injector as you've already flashed a 4 core boot image. If you want, you can flash 4 core TWRP, but that's optional.
Last question hopefully.
I have tried sooo many things to fix this phone, unblod thing, flashing various files and the boot-safe.img, twrp 4 core, AK injector, factory image, in various order and multiple times. None of them worked, well unblod worked but no WiFi and when I fixed WiFi, BLOD restarted...
Is there a way the phone needs to be for the script to work? Factory image I guess?
Your script worked, but now at the Google logo stuck there. Not sure I should force reboot or wait. I't not in bootloop but doesn't move past the Google logo.

I did a quick search and some website said try resetting the phone. If that doesn't work, try to flash a factory image to make it bootloop again, and try the script. If all of that doesn't work I suggest asking @XCnathan32 or @squabbi because they probably understand it better than me.
hey all,
Saturday morning a wake up to my alarm on my phone (SM-G950U T-Mobile Stock since new) and turn off the alarm and proceed to check email and scroll social medias. A few minuted later phone turns off and starts boot looping. Occasionally it would boot to home screen and i could unlock it but then maybe 30 seconds later it would start boot loping again. Now it either just boot loops or boots straight to recovery . I have tried flashing current firmware in case it was corrupted and i have tried accessing it through ADB. I know for a fact USB debugging is on because I just used abd to pull wifi passwords 2 weeks ago, but when I try to [ abd devices] if comes up as unauthorized and I cannot proceed. I know everyone will suggest a factory reset, but I am hoping someone has a trick for extracting files. I dont care about most on my phone, but I would like to save the pics from my GF and I trip this past august. Apparently I didnt have my photo library set to sync to cloud -_-
thanks

update: it appears there is a pattern. it boot loops or boots to recovery (after a blue failed system update screen) 99% of the time. the 1% it boot fully and then crashes is only when battery is 0% . it for some reason is only trickle charging and isnt getting enough juice when it does boot fully to stay on . But if i leave it charging a while it will then only boot loop or boot to recovery. Strange...any way I had enough time this past boot to reauthorize usb debug.....wish me luck with adb
....nevermind. still shows up as unauthorized

Ive had similar cases happen with older models. May be time for a battery. They will do crazy **** when the battery crashes. When you flashed stock firmware you lost adb authorisation. Need to get the system back first for that.

Cheapest fix in my opinion. I saw another thread a guy dropped his. Now detects 9008 how to fix. More than likely a phone wont just not boot. Or lose programming unless a hardware issue. So if it was just running and quit. Not modding stuff really. More likely than not its gonna be some form of software. But hardware.

Replaced Daughter board and battery. No improvement :/ bummer
the only time i can get it back into recovery is after a "successful" flash with odin. by successful i mean that it says it worked but it just continues to boot loop or boots to recovery. attached is a picture of the info i get in recovery every time. hope someone can shed some light in the issue. im using my old phone so i dont feel pressured to call the data a loss and try a factory reset just yet....my old phone is a POS though

Yea some one tried to root it using the edl safestrap thread. Only wsy to fix it is filled the steps and reflash jrkruses pie rom. One of my mother boards are in the same state. That's the only way dm verity fails. Is his rom method.
There's some easy to flash a cache wipe in Odin but I hadn't found it yet. I have 2 mother boards and one is identical. I flash this stock and lose download or recovery. but the errors you show are only from doing that edl safestrap
Ill be honest..i have no idea what you are talking about. Ive messed with the software with previous devices and never heard of safe strap. This one has been bone stock since I got it from Tmobile and i haven't attempt to flash anything until i had this issue. never tried to root it
