OK.
So I sold my unlocked droid 3 ( the verizon droid with the tut ) and everything worked great for me on AT&T.
So I sell it on ebay and the person contacts me saying it sais " sim not found" or whatever on it. HOWEVER he sais hes trying to use it on the AT&T gophone plan...
I know this isnt AT&T ( its just a seperate service provided by them ), but should it still work or would u think its incompatible?
I DONT KNOW IF IT MATTERS but before I shipped it out i did a factory restore via safestrap or whatever. ( it wipes /data ). Would that also change the radio back to the verizon one?
If this is my fault i would sadly have to take a return but if its fixable or what?
I gave her the gophone apn but i doubt that would help.
Was the backup done when running stock? If so then from my understanding the radio was replaced with the stock radio

no, the backup was done on Mavrom 4.0
All a factory reset does is wipe /data and /cache. It would not touch the radio.

Allright well I have no idea whats going on with the phone.
She tried to do a factory reset via the phones menu, which you are not supposed to do with a rooted phone, and it booted up but it wouldnt let her touch the android continue button...
SO I told her to restore it in safestrap using the backups i made
and now supposedly it kinda works again, but at the lockscreen, their is no "slide to unlock" button...
dufaq? i bet im going to have to refund her now -_-

A factory reset isn't always a bad thing on a rooted phone. It just depends on what you've done to the phone. You can bypass the Android button by pressing all 4 corners of the screen, in I believe clockwise. I find I have to do it several times before it works.

I don't know anything about at&t, since I live in Canada, I tried to find out what spectrum go phone uses, I imagine it's the same as at&t but really, really who knows. Have them try the *#*#4636#*#* and make sure it's on gsm auto. I'm afraid I can't help too much on this, I've never had to do the radio hack, plus I have no idea what you have done with the phone or what this person has done.
If they are working in safe mode, and assuming you never flashed or modded the non safe, have them switch to it. The radio hack should work no matter what mode they are in. You could try getting them on XDA and part of this thread, for more direct assistance

Yes I remember safestrap was always on... so if i tell her to turn it OFF it will still work on AT&T?
Can someone give me detailed instructions i can use? I dont have a droid 3 on me and would appreciate it beacuse i cant see it anymore.
sorry for the double post, but she also said she tried the "4 corners" thing, but then it said android something has stopped working...
then it went back to the lockscreen with no "slide to unlock" button... sooo weird..

Reboot
Press menu when the safestrap splash screen shows up
Using the volume up/down highlight safe boot menu and power to select
Toggle safe mode
If for some reason this fails(I've had it happen) you can use quick toggle but you MUST factory reset after
When done select reboot
Radio is totally separate from the rom. However I know that the radio hack needs build.prop edits, we will have to think of an easy way for her to do this. Let me ponder

The build.prop is already installed. Will that change when , or if she switches to non-safe mode?
I have already have her factory reset ( inside safestrap ), and wipe the cache but still nothing.

Safe and non safe are totally separate. So if you put the build.prop changes in one mode, it won't have gone into the other. So it all depends on if you made the edits in non safe or not. Same goes for factory reset. When you switch modes it backs up and restores the /data and /cache for each mode. The only reason I say to factory reset if she quick toggles is because it doesn't do this backup/restore when you quick toggle, which will almost certainly cause problems. If the regular toggle works there is no need to factory reset.
I should ask, did you doing any modding, flashing, or even use the non safe. Ie did you use it a bunch before installing safestrap and switching to safe

No. Phone was flashed to mavrom 4.0 before an worked fine. I took my sim out, and didnt use it for a week or so. When she bought it, i did a factory reset / wipe data so it was ready for a new person. I had never switched it out of the mode it was in.
She sent me a message saying it would not detect her sim, and i said its probally something wrong with her sim ( not enough pressure on sim contacts ).
Then she contacted me saying she did a factory restore IN THE SETTINGS MENU IN PRIVACY... which you are not supposed to do... THEN it would not let her touch the "press android to continue" thing when you first set it up. I told her to do the press the corners trick and then she said it worked for a second and then the touch screen just "stopped" working... an it said android force closed and went to a lock screen that didnt have the slide to unlock slider
NOW she is saying after restoring the backup i did before shipping it out ( the backup was done while it was working , i actually made 2 backups to internal and external ) that there is no "slide to unlock" button.
dufaq is going on?

Well a sbf would fix it, but that would undo the radio hack, as it would flash a new radio. You could motofastboot just /system and /preinstall, which would leave the radio intact, but i don't know how tech capable she is, to use fastboot. Not that it's really difficult, but you do need to kinda know your way around a computer a bit. That would remove safestrap and would make it out of the box new, albeit still with the modded radio. Also would need the build.prop edits still.
I could actually mod ovelayers 1-click to flash all but the radio probably. I'm fairly sure that would fix all problems without Causing anymore maybe ill pm him the link to this thrwad and see what he says. But we still have to figure out the build.prop

alright, since im down to basically no more ideas , i gave her the instructions to toggle to safe system...
If it works, can i just give her the modified build.prop and guide her to replace it?
If not, i see a refund and a faulty phone coming to me

No big deal. Swapped mine out today. I will hold on to the phone til the GS2 comes out, and then im switching.
ADB isn't recognizing the phone either. I believe I left it in USB Debugging mode before this all happened, but maybe that got reset when I did the factory reset and therefore it isn't enabled anymore.
Isn't the SG2 RELEASING ON SEP 16?

you are correct... any setting you may have altered in your phone is saved in the phone's data partition... the build.prop which im assuming you edited is saved in the system partition.. a factory reset only wipes the data partition, this means the setting you enabled for usb debug is set back to default and the build.prop you edited is left the way you edited it in the system partition completely unaffected... best chance is to wait for a manual CWM

Does anyone have a backup of 6.893?
Typically I am very diligent, but somehow I forgot to make a backup of stock.
I have not switched to any other update. I have read through everything thoroughly and I apologize for failing to follow instructions. With 5 android devices and multiple flashes I have never missed this before. And I realized it as soon as I flashed TH3ORYS rom
From what I gather the easiest and most effective way to get back on track is to flash a stock 6.893 rom make a backup and move on from there.
I appreciate anyone's help!
I am also open to using this thread or creating one in delopment to post the stock roms of every version.

Not entirely true. His system will be back to 5.5.886, but his kernel/radio will be his previously upgraded 5.6.893. He is off the upgrade path until he gets the matching system file of 5.6.893. Only then can he continue updating. I just went through this exact thing, used the one step recovery, but went back to .886 and had to beg to find someone to send me a CWR back up of their 5.6.893, which got me back on track.
Oh yeah...nevermind. I completely thought you were wanting stock not the ota. That's what I get for speed reading.

Giving someone a backup made on your device or restoring a backup made on someone else's device is an extremely foolhardy proposition. You are cloning the Android_id from one device to the other, which means that apps that use it as an identifier will push and pull data from both devices without any intervention from the unknowingly affected user.

Check your pms and please don't share in case there is some of my data still left in the backup. just download all the files and put them in a folder and put in your clockwork backup folder on your sd/ext, probably the best way is to restore with advanced restore and just restore system only.

I have really been through the ringer today. I started off this morning by noticing that I had no data at all. I was on 6.893 and TH3ORYROM 2.1 and have been for a few days with no trouble until today when I lost data. I tried everything to get it back, but nothing. I called VZW to make sure there wasn't a network problem in my area and they suggested that I try everything that I had already done (bat. pull, sim card re-register, turn off LTE radio, etc). When they couldn't fix anything, they wanted to transfer me to tier 2 tech support, but they apparently need to talk to me on a different phone so they can diagnose this one, but I didn't have access to another phone. So I decided I would try to flash one of the updates hoping it would reflash the radio file and wake it up. When I got home, I used the R3L3AS3DRoot to restore to stock and tried to install 7.893, but the update failed. I searched around and tried every method I could to get any of the updates to install, but nothing worked, still no 3g either. Eventually, in my desperate attempt to fix this myself I decided to wipe everything and start over. I wiped the webtop partition. I think that's what really screwed me up, because nothing else I did was any different that what I've done in the past. After wiping everything, I went back to the R3L3AS3DRoot and tried to run it. No matter which option I selected, it seemed to run fine, but I couldn't boot past the fastboot screen. I tried to fxz using RSD Lite, but every flash I tried failed. Then, in a panic, I came across P3's moto-fastboot method used to "get you back on the update path". I ran that and it freaking worked!! Then I figured I'd try to get up to 7.893, but I've tried absolutely everything I can find mention of and nothing works. Every install fails. I am getting some intermittent 3G now though. And to top it all off, I discovered that none of the nandroid backups I've made will restore and most of them don't even exist. I just discovered that I needed to check "use external storage" for the backups to take. I thought I had been covering my ass by making backups, but they weren't valid. Currently I have stock, rooted phone with an intermittent 3G signal. System Version 5.5.886, baseband CDMA_N_03.1C.57RLTEDC_U_05.15.02, kernel [email protected] #1, and build number 5.5.1_84_DBN-55. As I sit now, my plan is to see how it acts tomorrow and if I still have a lot of trouble with data, I will return it to stock unrooted and take it into a Verizon store and see if they will let me try a new SIM card. I don't really know what else to do at this point.
WOW! HOLY CRAP THIS PLACE IS DEAD! Its been a while since I read around these Zio places. Yup, my ol Zio still bootlooped (its around here somewhere). I tried all the "guides" n zip's and skd's and all that other.....stuff, its koo gathering and installing stuff and gettin that lil rush of hope, but then one lil thing goes wrong or ain't in the step-by-step guied, BOOM- all bad, and nobody's around all of a sudden.

I've actually already done that, and it's still doing the same thing. I've deleted and re-downloaded the ROM, and re-flashed it to my phone, and still having the same issue.

I've read so much on this ROM and everything for the Zio and was excited to actually be able to overclock my phone, and get some pretty good performance boosts out of it. Now I got one, and can't get it to work.. what a sad day
Could you explain your steps when flashing?

well I first move the .zip to the sd, then power down and boot up CWM, and "install from SD card" and once it's finished flashing, I reboot the phone. when it comes back up my kyocera logo comes back up and it takes me through the first-boot programming (google sign-in) and once I input my un/pw and sign in, it tells me that VTL had an error and must hit force close. and once I hit force close it continues to come up saying the same thing over and over again. so I rebooted my phone, still the same thing. SO I go back through and flash it back to my original boot.img. I have gone through and completely deleted the openZIO 2.1.2.zip file and re-downloaded it, and gone through the same steps to see if maybe it was just a bad file somehow. But to no avail, still having the same issues.
After you boot into cwm : wipe cache partition, then go into mounts and storage, format: system, data, cache :then go into advanced and wipe dalvick cache.
Now flash rom

Ok just went through with what you had mentioned, and still getting the same results. "Sorry! The application VTL.Launcher (process android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. with the only option to force close. As soon as I force close, the same message pops up
Have you tryed flashing my rom?
I would try that, and see what happens.
You can always push a launcher with adb or Droid commander.

doing this now actually.. been reading for the last hour or so and seems like you did some good work on the ROM. it's flashing now, hopefully all works well I'm excited to see how it goes.
Well it flashed and well... seems to be having a strange issue.
When switching screens, it seems to glitch out? Like you see the icons, and when you switch screens, it's like the icons move but it freezes different frames. imma re-flash it in the morning to see if that helps any.

Im outta suggestions, I think you might have a hardware problem, but can't be for sure on that.

Was your phone acting like that before you flashed openzio?

Nope, I've never had these issues before. And I can still flash it back to my original boot.img and it works like before. I've never had any problems with it, so that's why I'm surprised this is happening lol

I guess then its probably not a hardware issue.. hmm.. its almost Like the roms your flashing are getting corrupted some how.

hmm.. .well maybe I'll format my sd and do a factory reset on the phone first, then try to flash the rom?
Please help a noob out and show me the right way on how to root this phone, unlock bootloader and flash a recovery. There are a lot of info's all over the thread. I don't know which one to start in. Seems like there are different ways to root the ATRIX HD and I don't want to mess up.
I am also with T-Mobile so my phone is unlocked. I don't wanna have to do anything that will re-lock my phone. I'm currently running 4.1.1

Once your carrier unlocked, its permanent.
Use Motochopper to root...no one here feels like dealing with the Samba Sh!t again...
Then use this to unlock the bootloader
There are a few ways to install recovery -- See my HOW TO for the manual way, there's the one-click method, and using Rom Toolbox and installing the Photon Q CWM. All are easy and can be found in the first pages of our forums. The 2nd two are easier, but its really worth it to learn the manual way.
Thanks a lot man now Im having another problem. For some weird apparent reason I'm not getting mobile data only data I'm getting is from my gmail but instagram,chrome,Facebook is not getting any connection. Does it have anything to do with the APN?

Maybe. Are you on a custom rom, not using ATT 4.1.1? Need more info. List rom\fastboot and any mods you might be using.
Try connecting to WiFi and see if your apps can connect. After that, try wiping cache, dalvik cache and see if that helps. If after trying both of those and you still have no connection, its likely be a bad rom install.
You didn't flash MR or Bell 4.1.2 over AT&T 4.1.1 and not factory reset did you? Or restore AT&T Settings.apk app data with Titanium Backup from on a diferent rom? Doing both of those could cause errors like you're having.

Sorry for the late reply,but no this is stock AT&T and all the bloatware is installed. I figured it out. I had to change the APN to fast.T-Mobile.com and my internet is working now. As for putting in roms. I heard 4.2.2 will remove LTE is this true?
EDIT:My friend is giving me **** because I paid 250 for this unlocked ATRIX HD. For an extra 60 dollars more I could have bought the Nexus 4 and more development support he says plus its a Quad Core. At the time I had no idea about the dev support for this device and he was right. There are barely any support for this device. I love the PA roms and PacMan roms to be ported over to this device. But no roms from them at all. My battery life sucks because of all the bloatware,but so far I am liking this phone a lot. I'm going to be patient and wait.
I am rooted on a Sprint One and had stock HTC. Then downloaded the Viperrom 1.0.4 and had no trouble get it on, did not loose any of my settings or folders. Now when I download and try to run the viper 1.1.0 zip, it does the install and starts up shows my walpaper and icons appropriately, then crashes and constant reboots to the same point. Able to get on to recovery and reinstall the back up i had made with no rpoblems.
What do I need to do? If I wipe, what do i wipe? Have TWRP.
Will I loose all my settings and data?
Please help
Under advanced wipe select the first 4(dalvik,cache,system,data).
Then reflash the Rom.
You will lose settings.
Thanks, will try that in the morning.
Is there anyway we can save settings and restore them after upgrades?

Htcs built in backup through dropbox works very well. It restores apps, settings, homescreens. About the only two things it doesnt restore are accounts, autorotate and lockscreen password

Do NOT do this. It will wipe everything including your internal SD card
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk 2
I did the same thing as you. Mine got caught in a bootloop, I couldn't get the damn thing to force restart either. The bottom home & back key just kept flashing no matter how long I held it. I had to wait forever for the battery to die. I think something might be wrong with the restart fail safe HTC built in. So I relocked it, flashed back to stock, go to sprint store of course it reboots perfect every time. The people at the store are morons I hate going there. The guy says to me you just hold it down and the restart menu will come up. I'm like if the phone is frozen that doesn't work. None the less I don't expect them to replace something that is working. So I re-unlocked, cleared everything and installed latest build fresh works great haven't had any issue. I didn't back up either so I had to re set everything up which takes forever. I'm not a fan of restoring backups anyway as it can cause issues. I will be doing a nandroid next time and be more careful with dirty flashing. I always dirty flashed on MeanBean on my LTE without issues and Mike made it very clear when dirty update was not advised. In my opinion they shouldn't release a major update that will bootloop a phone over goo manger. It's still my fault but I didn't think twice about it when I tried to update viper. It still pisses me off that I have to fight with it to get the phone to reboot, the entire point of a fail safe is incase something goes wrong. It's the first time I have ever bootlooped a phone.

I do this everytime I flash a new Rom and it doesn't wipe my internal SD...
Thanks all, I am just where I was. so many opinions and would like to have a concensus.
It won't wipe internal unless you specifically check it in advanced. Never wipe internal, but davlic, cache, data and system are fine and constitutes a full wipe..you should always wipe that way when trying different roms or going to a new base. Or use a superwipe script to make things easier.

same problem
ive had the same problem, i actually had to use the ruu to get back to stock, unlocked it again s-off rooted and no matter what i do everytime i install any custom rom it goes into bootloop. ive tried every rom on here i cant even get viperrom to fully boot up. looking thru all the forums nobody has a clear answer as to why this is happening.
im stuck in boot loop after the viper rom and i just got it yesterday .. i dont know what to do at this point . when it does boot it ask me for the wifi login and fails says poor connection when its right next to me
Boot Loop
I'm also stuck in boot loop. I've done research and tried all kinds of stuff with no luck. This is what I get...
Phone boots
I get the notification bar and a black screen
Can't do anything with that.
After about a minute, it reboots.
Can anyone help with this? I have the 1.31 version. Clearing cache/data/delvik does nothing for me.
Can someone help me get it back to stock, or at least usable?
Thanks in advance.
