Need help. - Motorola Droid 4

Hello. I have a leaked update that i have applied. I need someone else to also updated so i can get a nandroid of your system. I screwed mine up and cant test my next update. The update is just a radio so you can keep root with voodoo or reroot using the old method. Hit me up at [email protected] we can talk and i can help. These files should never go public as fastboot might not work.

leaked update? radios? lets get some more info dude!!

I think I'm afraid to help by actually installing the radio, but do you know if it improves stability of signal? I have noticed the D4 occasionally losing data connectivity, although it says it still has bars and will receive phone calls (I think) during that time. (The problem goes away within seconds, but it is still somewhat annoying)

Ignore this. We have found the issue and will have everything fixed lol once we have fastboot files all will be released if the fastboot is able to revert them back.

nope, not ignoring it... you peaked my interest... can you at least tell us a little more about it?

Ill release more if someone running true stock meaning nothing has been removed creates me a nandroid of it using safestrap and sends me that file. I need a 215 system for a test. I promise to release information

Thats a totally different thing

Okay fixed it lol here's the news. The 219 is really just a new radio. I won't release it till a fast boot is found. The second update I wanted to apply was 220 problem is we can't figure out what to update from. 215 and 219 both fail the assert process. Meaning they can't install. 220 has a radio kernel bootloader and is labeled rev package. A rev package is a reverse package meaning it may have something good but its at 97% that it isn't anything special. So nothing to freak out about. If we had fastboot files all would be released after the precautions were taken.

Newb here
Do you still need this?
As you can see from my post count, I'm new...new enough that I have not yet rooted my Droid 4, but I've been planning to. I might as well do it in a way that's helpful to developers if you still need that nandroid backup, but if you no longer need it, then I'm inclined to wait and see if fastboot files become available or until a non-beta ICS ROM comes out and lots and lots of forums members say it works on Droid 4 with no gripes.

Thank you but im good now lol just waiting now till 220 gets fixed by moto

My Droid 4 is rooted and safestrapped, but although a few apps are frozen, none are removed. I would be happy to link you to a full nandroid if this might help.

So I heard there was an OTA update recently?

Has it been rooted? If I unroot will it install, then can be rerooted?

use the search button ffs
The new 5.7.893 OTA was just found today on stage 1 via cheesecake. Its only a 4 Meg update from those running 5.6.893. If you are using the p3droid forever root, it doesnt break it.
I'm running it and haven't noticed any issues except webtop seems broken.

From what I understand, only those who have installed one of the "leaked" version found via Cheesecake are seeing this OTA.
If you have a stock/release level Bionic, you wont see this...
on my x10i
i dont think ota works
on the motorola forums they stated that the ota is in testing and will be out in 30 to 60 days.

You don't happen to have your full backup of 5.6.893 do you? Somehow i did not backup the original radio and i cant get back on path until i flash the right file. Thanks!

[ROM] Droid 4 Stock Pre-Rooted ROM

This was made using the same method used to make a Droid Razr ROM, except on the Droid 4, so it should theoretically work.
This ROM is pre-rooted
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. IT IS UN-TESTED AS I DO NOT OWN A DROID 4 (yet).

Would like to try but untested means TROUBLE and from what I am reading it would seem way to easy find TROUBLE with tested roms so untested is suicide. Thanks but please report back when tested.
Hell Ill try it out and report back

You could also try my Motoblur LT ROM posted a bit further down. I have tested it, and it works well for me, plus it is very highly debloated.

Did you make sure to clear data and cache after enabling safe mode?
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
tried that, same effect. weird thing is when I tried to restore my backup it didn't boot at all till I toggled safemode off.
I suspect a bad download. Try redownloading the file. Make sure after toggling Safe system ON, you clear EVERYTHING and then flash.
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
Edit: Shameless plug; you can also try my Motoblur LT Rom which is hosted on a nice reliable server of mine.
i'll give it a shot
Sent from my DRIOD 4 Husky Edition
welp, something is weird because when i install the ROM or restore my backup the phone won't boot. maybe my safestrap is borked?
Sent from my DRIOD 4 Husky Edition
Will this rom work through clockworkmod recovery? It doesn't say it's exclusive to safestrap in the title and I know another user looking to edit his non-safe system via CWM recovery.
In theory, it would, but it is not a theory I recommend you test! We have no way to recover this phone if it bricks, so please, put on safestrap and use the stock prerooted for safestrap!! (Or, if you want it debloated, check out my Motoblur LT rom, also for safestrap)
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
I wouldn't dare leave my precious safestrap, this is for someone else. Thank you for the response though!
Sent from my DROID4 using Carrier Pigeons
Just keep in mind that although safestrap is based on cwm, it is not exactly the same. If the install script has even one command that is different, it could be enough to brick since you are installing on a non-safe system with no fastboot files available. Please tell this "someone else" that we wish them luck, but using this rom with cwm directly is NOT tested, and likely VERY risky, and we do not want them to brick their phone, and won't risk giving any guaranteed directions, we are much more certain of it working correctly with safestrap and are not particularly comfortable saying it would work with cwm, all theory aside.
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
Right, I'll express the uncertainty of the situation. I'll hit up Hashcode and see how difficult it would be to make one soley designed for CWM. Doesn't hurt to have the ROM, people will always be risky so why stop them?
Sent from my DROID4 using Carrier Pigeons
Lol, true enough! Good luck.
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
He said the data was a little buggy and it lagged, but I don't know all the minor details of what he did (wipe data/cache/etc) but this rom DID work in CWMrecovery.
Sent from my DROID4 using Carrier Pigeons
Good to know, thanks for reporting back. I'm glad he didn't brick!

[Q] Non-Safestrap Custom ROMs - ICS/GB?

Since we have SBF files now, and I apologize if this is the wrong area to post, but will we be able to get an official Clockworkmod Recovery so that we can install clean ROMs without needing to use Safestrap and running dual systems?
I am willing to test any developments on my D4 given that we can now flash the SBF should it brick.
Also on a somewhat side tangent, has anyone figured out a way to mod the system to allow apps2sd naturally like on the D2/D3 instead of the "media area vs app storage area"?
Thanks in advance everyone.
I am waiting for a response for this thread as well.the safestrap method has created issues I really don't want to deal with on a regular basis. I thought maybe once the sbf were out there we would have clockwork method out there fairly quick. I appreciate all the hard work hash & others put in to problem solving etc..J am so looking forward to a clockwork option..

I have read that people are using the razr bootstrap without issue. I have not tested it personally.

What issues? You could always use bootstrap, as others have said.
Personally, I really like using safestrap. Stock ROM when I need the phone to work, whatever rom I like otherwise (Though AOKP is getting pretty close to perfect now. Going to check up on CM9 soonish...)

Any help to root the leaked ICS ROM

I was trying to connect my D4 with the leaked ICS ROM though adb
but after typing adb shell, it keep telling my device was offline
if i can connect the device, is it possible to push the busybox, su, etc to /system/xbin and enabling the root privilege?
Can't help you with actually rooting the build (sorry), but I have seen other threads that seem to indicate that if you reinstall your drivers the problem should resolve itself...
Where is the leaked rom?

all the info on the leaked d4 ics is @ DROID forums. in the d4 development section.

no luck anyone? i really want root back.....I love everything about this update i just want my root back please!!!!!
I can point you in the right direction. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467598 I think if we knew the correct hex values to change in the .bat we might be able to get root.
It seems the problem i face now is i cannot push the files to the phone as permission denied.....or device offline....i actually could even push su to /data/local
which render other commands useless.....
Per p3droid twitter:

pimpsalot69: He was referring to getting it installed, not getting root. Unfortunately, if you lost root during the upgrade process (like I did) there isn't currently a way to restore it. You'll have to wait for a new method to be released.

I thought the GSM patch is automatically enabled on the ICS ROM? All you have to do is put in your foreign SIM card and you should be ready to go.

It doesn't seem to work - I put in the foreign SIM and can make and receive calls without an issue. But no 3G data available (and I have set all the data roaming, etc. on in settings). If I had root access, then I could try to flash that rom to see if it worked. I'm in South Africa on the Vodacom network (3G).

Quote of the day: "Optimism brings about innovation."
Not the other way around, bro.
****btw CM9 is STILL in development for our LG Revolution.
Sorry if I seem skeptical. Its just that there was talk about cyanogen last year and nothing much ever came of it, nor has much ever came of the other rumored Roms that were talked about. I hope I'm proved wrong because no Android should have only one developer.

Well.... there is Broken Out 3.0 which opened the door for roming on this device....
Eclipse Rom.... which was second
Black Plague 1.0 which is IMO the best of the options.... including the kernel that comes as a separate flashable zip .... it has the best on battery life as well as lagfree performance and undervolting.... also has a higher charge rate included.... and zram swap enabled....
There is also Holo 3.2.6 which is essentially a themed rom.....
Ninjroid is an option as well....
Oh and Plagued Optimus V1....
You can find all these here..... it just takes a bit of searching and you will have everything you need at your finger tips....
Oh and kernel wise .... there is a flashable blitzkrieg ..... plague kernel.... and popcorn kernel....
this is incomplete but it does list the best of the best

The leak ends in bricks and wiped IMEI blocks... No ics roms because the leak was too buggy .... It's fixable after wiping the IMEI but you get no 4g and almost no functionality

I'm having zero luck getting any of the CM 10.x ROMs to load on my Spectrum. Someone over at CM said to check for updated bootloaders and radios. Does anybody know what the latest updates are?
I'm running with CWM 6.x for recovery.
Thanks in advance for any pointers!!
ROM Porting
Why can't anyone work on porting these ROM's to the vs930
why post about the vs920 here?
i am curious as to why this phone does not have its own thread. it needs to be available in the device selection list and i intend to make it happen. i cant find it except by using the general search tool. i cant find old roms for the phone here (gingerbread rom files, mirrors or anything helpful to restore to stock) so that we can do something useful for it.
