Dear Users,
I am experiencing an issue which has been raised once before and no clear,
simple solution was found.
My current problem is that, after updating my G1 from 'cupcake' to 1.6, all
the calls I make and all the calls I receive are labelled as 'unknown',
despite the fact that these numbers are in my contacts. Here is the link to
the similar issue which was officially declined by Google:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2949
In the discussion thread amoung the users, there seem to be two possible
solutions (although this was not confirmed by Google, since the issue was
declined):
1. Complete factory reset.
2. STEPS:
1) Get to a shell prompt. If you're using ADB, it's "adb shell". If
you're using a
terminal/console app, just launch it.
2) Type "rm /data/misc/rild_ril.clip"
3) Reboot the phone.
My phone is currently not rooted and I have no intentions to root it in the
near future. Also, I do not favour the idea of a factory reset, since I
shall have to re-install all my applications, which will take time. The
second method to solve the problem seems the most probable in my case,
however the only problem is that, since I am not very good on the technical
stuff (i.e. 'shell prompt', 'console app', 'ADB'), I cannot figure out how
to perform what that method requests.
I would be very grateful to a person who would explain how to sort the
problem out in clear, step-by-step, user-friendly language.
The first method would be easiest for you but the second method makes the most sense. ADB is easy to set up & there are guides on here for it, also it doesn't require you to be rooted.
PS: This is in the wrong section so expect the mods to move it quickly.
You should start by trying option two.
1. Goto the market and search for Terminal. Downlaod and install the app.
2. Open your app drawer and open Terminal (The app you just installed)
3. Enter the line rm /data/misc/rild_ril.clip and hit enter.
If the command is accepted you'll get a blank prompt, type reboot and hit enter again to reboot the phone. If you get a mesage that says the command can't be completed, read only file system you'll probably need to setup ADB on your computer and enter the commands there. Search XDA for ADB for Dummies to find a thread on how to set up ADB, its really very straightforward.
Good Luck!
You could also go into Application manager and see if you can clear your Dialer or Dialer storage's cache or data (whatever they have there). I assumed that you've tried powering your phone off and on to see if that fixes it, right?
If you dont have root, you wont be able to remove stuff from the system.
It sounds like you have your contacts numbers saved without a 1 or 0 such as,
555-555-5555
1-555-555-5555
Try to edit the numbers and make them appear the same way they do when a contact calls you. I am sure this will solve the problem.
I'm working to enable FM radio functionality, RX and TX on HTC Legend and other devices with TI FM chip.
I need help to get this done ASAP. I'm an experienced embedded Linux dev, but I'm pretty new to smartphones and Android.
A few weeks back I managed to muddle my way through on phone gold card creation, downgrading, rooting, CWMod (2.5 ?) installation, CMMod7 nightly install, S-Off and new Radio flash. Since then I haven't flashed anything and probably forgot half of what I learned.
So now I want to flash the best ROM for the purpose of figuring out the audio routing "secrets" of the HTC FM app. Any suggestions for the best ROM for that purpose ?
Next, I could use some pointers to the best posts or web pages to refer to for flashing the HTC Rom, and then later flashing back to CM7. As easy as possible. Can I do something Nandroid like and save the entire state of the phone to easily get me back to where I started with CM7 ?
Yes, I AM a dev, but very much appreciate easy to follow step by steps that don't leave me scratching my head wondering if I'll brick my device or create some other catastrophy . Eg: Should I ignore those error messages or not worry ? Do I have to reboot 5 times while clicking my heels ? Etc.
Once I get the above figured out, perhaps this thread can be used for discussion of the observations and any reverse engineering results.
Thanks !
Well, the best ROM would probably be BlaY0's, as it has the FM functionality. Take a nandroid of that and then install CM (as that's what your developing for, ye?). Then nandroid the CM and you can easily switch between the 2 without the need to set it up again.
BlaY0's ROM is based of the official HTC one, so it would probably do for the reverse engineering stuff. Thus I don't think you'd need to go back to a stock HTC ROM. If you do you can just flash a pre-rooted one (found here) and that would do it.

OK, thanks GrammarFreak. BlaY0's ROM 0.7 it is.
Hate to be/seem so newb-ish....
So I'm running CM7 now. So:
(1) Run ROM Manager Backup.
(2) Watch phone go into recovery mode with red triangle and exclamation mark.
(3) Don't freak as the backup will take maybe 10-20 minutes or so.
(4) Phone reboots back to CM7 I presume.
(5) Pull any important data from sdcard including ROM backup files.
(6) Download http://blay0.r3volutionary.net/b-0.7.zip
(7) Run ROM Manager to flash Blayo.
(8) Reboot and mess around with Blayo ROM.
(9) When done messing, optionally save Blayo ROM and mods with ROM Manager Backup.
(10) Use ROM Manager restore to return to CM7 ROM.
Sound good ? I don't even have to remember which key when booting brings up CWMod recovery mode ?
I couldn't find a canonical web page documenting CWMod/ROM Manager and it's usage.
Gee my phone has been stuck in red mode for a while now...
EDIT: So I'm reading threads and getting the impression the red triangle is not what I want. So I run "adb reboot" and will check and see if the backup looks good.
I can understand that the "community" has to somehow pull together to pool info, but my experience seems typical of what so many face.
In order to figure out some sort of semi-foolproof method of doing XYZ it seems I have to search threads all over to collect the full info. 50-100+ page threads are a challenge. Do I start with the first few posts or pages of posts, or should I skip to somewhere near the end for latest info ? Yes I can read to see if first posts are updated etc.
Before I started the rooting process on my phone, I read QUITE a few big threads from begin to end. And I made LOTS of notes to try and figure it all out and avoid problems. And my head got so full it almost exploded, and I almost sorta gave up, dived in, did a few more google searches on the way and thankfully finally ended up with a nicely open device.
But it all seems so ridiculously difficult, UNLESS you happen to come across some very succinct, accurate and informative HOWTO somewhere that works well for you.

Ok, I want you to do a couple of things:
Forget about ROM manager, it's a piece or crap and it creates more problems than it solves.
So, you said you performed S-OFF, correct? Did you let the S-OFF procedure install ClockworkMOD recovery? Given the red triangle of doom I doubt it. No worries. Here's what you do:
Download this (it's the ADB tools) to a known location. Then extract the zip to a known location. Open a command window in that location (for the sake of this guide: C:\ADB) So open CMD (start, run, type CMD, hit enter) In CMD type "cd C:\ADB". Plug your phone into the computer (make sure you're using CM). Debugging mode should be on (you'll get a notification in the status bar of your phone). Now, I want you to download this (CWM 2.5) and save it to C:\ADB. In CMD type "adb push recovery.img /sdcard" Wait for it to complete. It will output a file-size, time taken and resultant transfer rate. When it's completed type "adb shell". You'll end up with a "#" and nothing else (if you get a "$" just type "su" and hit enter, and on the phone's screen accept the Superuser request). Now, type "flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img", let it do it's thang. When you see the "#" type "reboot recovery", and your phone will reboot to CWM. This is what I refer to as a win
Now, from clockworkMOD you can use the trackball (move and click) to select "backup/restore" then "backup". Let it do its stuff. Once backed up you can flash B-0.7 and then back that up. Note down the name of each backup so you know which is which

Thanks for the newb-friendly instructions. Much of I don't need, but may help others.
I'm running Linux, I've had adb etc installed for 2 weeks. I've got the SDK installed w/ Eclipse but never tried it, but have done App Inventor. And I've been poking around in the innards of the various source codes, binaries, firmwares and other files for the last 2 weeks too.
OK, I'll "Forget about ROM manager" and just use CWM after manually rebooting into it with Volume Down or whatever.
I'm pretty positive I'm S-OFF and have CWM 2.5.0.0.7 or so installed. ROM Manager says so. I have CWM on before I S-Offed using the Bell/Virgin modified alpharev boot disk.
I'll do the backup manually with CWM later tonight when I get back to this. I checked the SD and the backup isn't there, although there are still 3 backups I took when I installed CM7 2 weeks ago.
So I guess I do a complete flush or wipe or whatever when installing the new (or a backed up) ROM ? And since the backup is a nandroid type it will absolutely restore to exactly the same state as when the backup was taken ? But the SD card is not touched...
EDIT:
"adb reboot recovery" gives me red triangle of doom.
"adb reboot bootloader" gives me AlphaRev and I see S-Off and HBOOT 1.000000000
Did AlphaRev remove CWM ?
Given that you get the red triangle we can assume you don't have CWM installed to /recovery, you have it in fakeflash. Nothing inherently wrong with that, just FYI
As for your rant in post numero uno, I've often considered trying to put together a comprehensive "document" on the matter, but it'd take an age and would probably raise more questions than it'd answer.

See above about fakeflash. You could well use the image I linked above and use flash_image on the phone or fastboot to flash it
Fakeflash is pretty easy, I either do that or do my business in rom manager as I find that easy.
Rom manager method for installing a new rom:
If rom manager isn't installed, do so from the market
start up rom manager
tap "backup current ROM" (I suggest naming your backup, I just use the rom name)
Let it reboot and do it's thing
When it's booted back into CM7, open up rom manager again
tap "install ROM from SD card"
browse your sd for your rom and tap it.
You are presented with 2 check box options
Since we already backed up make sure "backup existing rom" is unchecked
If you are flashing a new rom, make sure "Wipe Data and Cache" is checked
If you are flashing a newer version of the same rom, you can leave this area unchecked as it will not erase the stuff stored on the phones built in memory
Press ok, let it do it's thing and thats it.
Place the fakeflash update.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=698404 on the root of your sd card
turn off your phone
Hold the volume down button as you press the power button
using the volume buttons, navigate to "recovery"
press power
your phone will reboot to th red triangle (of DOOOM)
Don't panic, hold volume up and press power (if it gives you an error just wait few seconds)
Using the volume buttons to scroll and power for enter choose "apply sdcard:update.zip"
Use the trackball and go to "Nandroid" if you are using ClockWorkMod 2.5.xxx fake flash or "backup and recovery" if you are using ClockWorkMod 3.xxx
hit "backup"
Let it do it's thing
If you're installing a new rom, scroll to "wipe data/factory reset", wait, then choose "wipe cache partition". If your installing a newer version of the same rom, don't bother.
Scroll to "install zip from sdcard"
scroll to "choose zip from sdcard"
choose your zip, let it do it's thing, and thats that.
You're SD is not touched at all during flashing, no need to backup those files.
Wow, can't believe I typed all that out...

Re: rant, don't want to come off as complaining, I KNOW documenting semi-foolproof procedures is tons of work, to do properly. I understand a big problem is consideration of the large set of combinations of ROMs, recoveries, apps, S-On/S-Off states, Radios, etc.
OK, cool, I want "realflash" type recovery then. I guess that's one reason to have S-Off ?
I had to slightly alter your first command by appending a '/'.
EDIT: WOOHOO ! Success I think ! Feel free to skip the rest of this post unless you want to hear the details of my adventure...
Thank you ! Editing this post the last hour I wrote "Success ! " here anticipating such, but alas, I have some issue.
I don't know if I have to be extra patient as deodexing happens, Or if I'm stuck in some boot loop... I see "HTC quietly brilliant" and screen flashing on and off and re-writing the HTC spam.
Re: HTC FM app. OK, cool, I see :
ls -l /system/app/HtcFMRadio.apk
-rw-r--r-- root root 826176 2008-08-01 07:00 HtcFMRadio.apk
And bluetooth. Is there any way to switch normal media output, like from TuneIn radio etc, to my cheap new bluetooth headset ? I pushed the button in CM7 and I see I could start a voice dial, but I figured BT would take over all audio I desired routed through it.
-----------------
I did:
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
adb reboot recovery
In the CWM menu I had to select "Nandroid", and then "Backup".
That completed.
I didn't want to bother rebooting, so manually grabbed the backup files:
adb shell ls -l /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
adb shell ls -l /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-02-27.03.19.57/
mkdir cm7backup-2011-02-27.03.19.57
cd cm7backup-2011-02-27.03.19.57
adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-02-27.03.19.57/boot.img
adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-02-27.03.19.57/cache.img
adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-02-27.03.19.57/data.img
adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-02-27.03.19.57/nandroid.md5
adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-02-27.03.19.57/recovery.img
adb pull /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2011-02-27.03.19.57/system.img
Then to be sure:
cat nandroid.md5
md5sum *.img
Yes, looks good ! Now for Blayo:
cd ..
adb push b-0.7.zip /sdcard/
Goto CWM. Version 2.5.0.1, I had a 7 at the end before. Fine I'm sure.
Use volume up/down to select install from a ZIP. Press power to select. Oh, oh, shoulda used the trackball switch as it powered off.
Whoops, press power again and screen comes back, LOL. Choose zip from sdcard and use trackball switch this time. Move and select Blayo b-0.7.zip
Wonderfully wacky confirmation. Error message saying it can't find the zip file. Hmmm....
Reboot a few times and finally do "adb reboot recovery" and retry install from ZIP.
No go, get:
-- Installing: SDCARD:b-0.7.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open sdcard/b-0.7.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Try to open 98 MB zip file. No go. AHA ! corrupted file.
Try download from mirror 2: http://www.dkmdesign.dk/custom_roms/blay0/b-0.7.zip File is supposed to be 126 MB.
Gee I'm glad there's an unzip process that checks the integrity of ROM flashes.
So again:
adb push b-0.7.zip /sdcard/
And install, running..... Done !
Try to use power button to reboot. Use back key and "reboot system now". Cross fingers and offer the gods sacrifices...
See androids on skateboards again. Recall I may have to be patient as deodexing happens... See "HTC quietly brilliant" spam,,, in this context,good. Waiting....
Waiting.... screen flashing on and off and writing the HTC mind control spam.
Try reboot when tired of waiting and same thing. AFAICT, from "adb shell ls * etc" on the filesystem, Blayo ROM is installed but just won't stop flashing the HTC logo.

Thanks. Maybe that's my boot loop or whatever problem now. I didn't recall seeing that option, but should be there with CWMod, so I'll try installing Blayo again after that.
There was some Wipe in main menu, and another w/ factory reset. Also in advanced menu I selected Wipe Dalvik cache. I left the Battery Stats alone. Hmmm. Naah !
Did all 3 wipe twice for good luck. Rebooted in between. Installed. Now waiting... Oh here's the HTC screen again. Time to read the Blayo thread to see how long to wait. etc.
Man what a pain ! Yet likely a world easier than the new paths I attempted to forge on my previous LG Optimus Chic resulting in a hard brick, LOL.
WOOHOO ! Success I think !
Welcome to the BlaY0 universe.. Just remember that many of us went through this journey as well to have our phone in same state Glad you got to fully download the BlaY0 rom from my mirror.. now happy reverse engineering..

Thanks. Figured I was finished messing with such nasties once I had CM.
(In case you aren't aware, I have scripts that make the FM radio "work" on CM7. I can scan and see RSSI as expected etc. Only "problem" is I haven't figured out the audio routing part yet so no sound, which is why I'm exploring the HTC app for it's special tricks.)
What I want to do now is try running my hcitool scripts and see if they work on Blayo ROM.
If yes, then the Blayo ROM has something the CM7 ROM needs.
If no, then there's likely some magic step required on either stock ROM or CM7 ROM and likely the HTC FM app is doing that step, directly or indirectly.
But the needed hcitool is not on Blayo ROM. I find 3 of the hci utils and install them. Now I can't get hciattach running, which I think is needed for hcitool.
I'm guessing I can edit /init.legend.rc and change service hciattach to enabled. Reboot and no dice. Try running from command line also with no luck. At one point it hung, but now:
# hciattach -n -s 115200 /dev/ttyHS0 texasalt 4000000 flow
Unknown device type or id
# hciattach -n -s 115200 /dev/ttyHS0 any 4000000 flow
Can't set device: Device or resource busy
Can't initialize device: Device or resource busy
# hciattach -n -s 115200 /dev/ttyHS0 any
Can't set device: Device or resource busy

Well AFAICT, the world of Bluez bluetooth and hciattach, hcitool, hciconfig and hcidump doesn't get along with the TI BT stack world of btipsd and btipds_cli.
I'll have to bust out the NDK and start trying APIs.
But FIRST, I'm happy to report that btipds_cli is a pretty interesting and cool tool. Once I rebooted, turned BT on and learned the quirky UI, it wasn't too long before I had FM audio coming out of the speakers or the headphone.
I even tried a BT over FM option in another menu, but no go. Next I'll try the FM Tx, cause I'd REALLY like to see if that works.
btipds_cli doesn't seem to want to start FM a second time though, so a few reboots might be needed for testing.
I think it's possible that the "14.start_audiO" option in the "4.fm_Rx/" is the missing link for FM in non HTC ROMs. I don't know yet if it initiates a digital PCM / SCO connection or just switches analog. I don't see any new processes for that but btipsd might be doing the good stuff.
Following this thread with great interest..

I still can't get the transmitter to work, despite all the commands seeming successful. Both with hcitool on CM7 and btipsd_ci on Blayo0.7.
So I think one, or both, of the following are the TX issues:
(A) - It is somehow disabled by the hardware. The Tx antenna pin could be tied to ground, perhaps even through a capacitor or something. It may even just be unconnected and unable to transmit a few inches because it's inside an RF shield.
(B) - The firmware file for the FM portion disables TX, yet the registers still respond as if it works.
(A) would be difficult to infeasible to fix.
(B) should be fixable by loading a firmware file from a TI FM chip device that is known to support transmission.
For a TI based device that is known to transmit, I presume firmware files for a TI or TI partner evaluation board may work.
So far I can't get hciattach and hcitool etc working on BlaY0 ROM.
I HAVE, however, gotten btipsd and btipsd_cli to work on CM7. I had to create the /data/btips directory and am running btipsd manually in foreground.
What I find is exactly the same as with my hcitool scripts: everything seems to work but actual sound doesn't exit the device. Even after doing everything else the same as with BlaY0 ROM.
The /etc/firmware files on both ROMs are identical.
So I'm thinking there is some other thing separating the two ROMs. Could be some HTC customized library, or a config file or who knows.
Hi Mike, your work is appreciated, i hope you wil get it to work. We have great legend dev's. Please BlaYo and. Ali Ba, help this guy!

Then you got as far as I did a few months ago. The btipsd stuff can be found in the original init.legend.rc, if you are interested.

"Customized library" applies here, but that's in fact a euphemism for "all kinds of proprietary code in the framework".
I gave up reverse engineering after looking at the disassembled HTC radio application. As I already told you there are loads of pointers to closed source TI code that can be found in the framework (= /system/lib/whatever.so). You will have to reverse engineer all those rpcs, libandroid_servers and god knows whatnot.

Oh, there must be SOME shortcut...
Since I have the FM radio and audio working with the btipsd_cli. I'm not sure the answer would lie in the HTC FM app. Or at least the answer is in btipsd_cli also.
I'd love to find the source to btipsd_cli. I DO have source for TI's fmapp and fmstack-0.12 and I can see they share some, but not all code.
In a log I can see an HCI command is sent when audio starts; I just don't know which one or with which parameters.
btipsd_cli has some rather weird bugs that prevent me from experimenting well with audio routing. When I disable analog, audio keeps playing. At first I thought it was using digital, but now I think it's part of the buginess. When I select various digital options, various weird things happen, including a crash in btipsd for most of them.
If I can run some HCI queries, I might get better clues or the actual answer. I managed to get hciattach to sort of work with "texas" as the type, but I think I need "texasalt" and the binary I have that runs on Blayo doesn't support it. The CM7 binaries wont run on Blayo.
So unless there are some other tools I can use, I'm wondering if it's time to write an NDK app.
Unless I can increase the verbosity of the btipsd logging to tell me everything it's doing. Will check.
These AudioRouting strings aren't in the CM7 libandroid_runtime so I tried pushing the Blayo lib to CM7. GUI never boots fully, but no audio still using the btipsd_cli.
Same when I also replace libandroid_servers.so, bluez-plugin/audio.so and bluez-plugin/input.so
strings blayo/system/lib/libandroid_runtime.so |grep -i audiorouting

I've had a Droid 3 for a little under a year now. For the past few months I was having an 'issue' where the phone would not vibrate when I got an SMS message. Apparently this is a known issue caused by installing a non-stock SMS app from the app-store. I took it to the Verizon store and the guy put in a request for a replacement phone. He knew I'd rooted it and just said to make sure I unroot it, uninstall the bootloader, and factory reset before sending it in. I did all 3 things however the reset didn't reset my custom boot animation so I figured I'd activate the phone real quick, reroot, change that, and unroot. I started the activation process and I get to the "Add Accounts" screen, added my Google account, and hit Done. It asks about location services, I hit "Next" and then com.motorola.setup crashes and I have to force close. If I hit the Home button it takes me right back to the "add accounts" screen and I'm stuck in that infinite loop. I can still receive texts and reply to them from the notifications menu, I can send and receive phone calls with voice commands, I can access the browser, but that's about it. I cannot get to the home screen and I cannot open the settings 'app'.
I brought it back to the Verizon store and they were baffled, told me that Verizon would probably charge me full retail for the replacement if I sent this once back, so I sent back the replacement phone and am stuck with this one now.
I think what caused this is that I had the 'Bloat Freezer' app installed and I had frozen a bunch of the default Verizon apps. I didn't unfreeze them before the factory reset and I have a feeling that's what's causing the issue. I had the idea to re-root the phone and install Bloat Freezer again from the Play store but the Play store isn't recognizing my Droid 3 anymore.
Any suggestions?
Factory reset is a deceiving term. It resets it to factory user data (none) and settings. It doesn't restore the system. What you need is an SBF to flash the entire phone to factory software, overwriting all partitions. First though, you must find which system you had. Since you didn't recently get this phone, did you accept an OTA update within the last month or so? If so, head over to the Dev area and download the stickied SBF file to return you from .906 to .890. If not, there is an SBF in the General area called Quick Unbrick or something like that.

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I'll give this a try when I get home from work tonight. Do you know if there's any way to tell what version I need without the settings app? Or perhaps if there's a way to forcibly open the Settings app?
If you've had your D3 for over a year and have not updated to .906, then you'll need .890. The .906 update is fairly recent (a couple months old I think?) so if you don't explicitly remember taking it, use .890.
Side note, check the rom you used before this happened. Check if it's based on .906 or .890.

Do you know if you enabled USB debugging? (from settings->applictaions->development - check "USB debugging" on.) Many root apps require that.
Anyway, if you did, you can install the Android SDK's adb app and, from a command prompt, you can try to type the following command (with the phone on and cabled to the computer)
adb shell cat /system/build.prop | grep "version"
This should show you a bunch of lines, one of which will be "ro.build.version.full". The system version follows that text on the line - I have last month's OTA, so mine is Blur_Version.5.7.906.XT862.Verizon.en.US (so I have 5.7.906).
You can most easily get adb (for Windows) with instructions from here: http://dottech.org/tipsntricks/2153...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/
After you get those files unzipped in c:\android, you can start a command prompt by hitting start, type "cmd" and enter in the search box - this will start a black command prompt window. From there, enter the command cd \android and then enter the adb command I put up above.
I'm not sure it will work, but it should.
You can bypass the activation. Starting with the top left corner, press each corner in a clockwise rotation. This will bring your phone to the home screen so you can then find which version it's on.

What USB mode should the phone be in for this to work? I definitely had USB Debugging on before I did the factory reset; would that reset it though? When I try the command (minus grep, i'm in Windows unfortunately) I get 'error: device not found'

I had tried this but it still brought me straight to the "Add Accounts" screen, not to the home screen.

You can grep: because you are running a shell command, I believe it is running on the phone, not on the windows computer.
(The grep is not all that critical, though, as I believe the version number line is one of the last lines displayed by that command.)
You can do an:
adb devices
before you run the shell command to verify that the computer and phone are communicating; it should return a line of characters that represents your phone, if it is connected.
So, I followed the guide we all did here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818502
And before someone asks: I have deleted the Backup app (IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk) we had to install during rooting after the phone was rooted.
The phone then happily ran, rooted. SUpersu was installed/updated, the phones root check said it's all perfect, I was a happy camper. But today I had to reboot it. I can't say if it was the first reboot after rooting, sadly. The phone boots up, arrives at the lockscreen (some colorful defaultthing, before I get to see my GO Locker screen after login), and then stops being responsive, it basically at first feels like it's not reacting at all. Some things are responsive, strngely ... I get accurate sounds when touching the screen for instance. If I then wait, I eventually get to the SIM Unlock ... which is also totally unresponsive, it will maybe show two digits, then freezes up. Strangely, I could type the remaining digits and hit OK and the SIM would unlock ... but the screen no longer showed what I typed. I then arrive at GO locker, can unlock it (sluggish and slow again) and finally am properly logged in, but still totally sluggish and slow. Needles to say it's a pseudobrick that way, unusable.
What's going on and what could I check?

REALLY SLOW AFTER ROOT?
Remove the "SystemBackupTest" app, if you haven't already.
On your phone, go to "Settings -> Developer options" and make sure "USB debugging" is TICKED
Connect your phone via USB to your computer.
Open a command prompt (may need admin privelages, right click, run as administrator)
Type without quotes "cd C:\o4xr" and press enter.
Type without quotes "adb shell rm /data/local.prop" and press enter.
Type without quotes "adb reboot" and press enter.

Thanks, that fixed it! It's not easy to do, as the scrolling lists do not work, either, and you can't seem to get to the developer options, it won't scroll. Strangely enough "internally" it seems to do things ... if you re-enter the options, they're down to the end of the list, it looks like it doesn't update the screen properly (much like when I had to enter the SIM code).
Anyway, it's fast again, whew ... I was scared. What is the local.prop thing, if I may ask?

I'm not entirely sure, I just know it gives us temp root for the rest of the root script to run.
Hm, so its' not a systemwide ini file or so, that existed before ... it was created during the above rooting process and was an undesired leftover from it? I'm always a bit worried if I delete something with such an unspecific name in the OS

Its actually created by the SystemBackupTest app.
The script then removes it just before issuing a reboot.
The only way it can come back, is if you accidently open that app again before uninstalling it.

It looks like you have either plugged in more than one android device, or you have an android emulator (from the SDK I guess) running. Unplug all USB devices (except keyboard and mouse) and then try again. Good luck!
If you have an emulator running try "adb -d shell rm /data/local.prop"
Edit: To see all adb-devices type "adb devices". This will return a list of all adb-devices connected (emulators + usb devices)

THX for your help!
As you can see the same device is listed two times. Restarting the adb server may help. Just type "adb kill-server" and than launch the second command from your screenshot. Maybe this works.

The devices is detected and the command is executed, but the file does not exist. Make sure that there is a file "prop.local" at /data. If not, you may have a different problem.
Maybe you have an emulator running or Bluestacks installed... Uninstall Bluestacks...
I don't think that this is the case as the device shows up with a serial number in the "adb devices" list.
To be sure it is the correct phone you could compare the serial number shown in the list with the serial number of your phone (you might find this information in settings -> about phone).

An emulator is a program which emulates Android so you can execute Android-Apps on your PC. BlueStacks is an emulator. It may show up as an adb devices, but this is not the case here.
Back to your problem: Are you sure the rooting process worked?
Did you reboot your phone after rooting?
I didn't root my phone under ICS so I don't have any experience with this
no one raised this question to confirm or did this info was provided anywhere
What version of ROM? ICS V10x? JB V20x? User could had used the wrong guide.
Best way out is to do a reflash and retry rooting if all fails.

Is there a way to reboot this thing without root. All the apps seen need root. Why isn't it available with the power button anyway? Am I missing something?

Root access is needed but the only way I know how to do it without root is with a computer via usb connection; install minimal adb and fastboot by shimp 208 and run through command prompt. Make sure you have updated motorola drivers and connect your phone, run command prompt and change directory to wherever you have adb installed; type "adb reboot" (without quotes, you may include -bootloader or -recovery to go into either of those); to install, go here.

I've just moved to this phone from my S3, and it seems I have been spoiled by CM through the years, as the first thing I noticed about the OS was all the features I frequently used -- including a "reboot" menu item, which I wouldn't have considered a "feature" until now. The best part: when I first turned the thing on, it tried over and over to activate itself but failed, with the error message telling me it would try again the next time I reboot the phone. And how would you suggest I perform that reboot? This one I'm sure is trivial to most by now who have been using this phone for a while, but it just blows my mind.
Is shrimp's adb fastboot accepted as a recommended and reasonable workaround for this?
BTW, what other "features" am I going to notice are missing soon (and any recommended apps/methods to replace them)?
Thanks.
Doesn't just holding the power button a few seconds "reboot" the phone...or is that not really a reboot?

More of a hard power-off and back on than a clean reboot, and you would lose state and cached data, which to me isn't worth the risk.
