Jb update failed - Motorola Atrix HD

My brothers atrix is failing to update root is disabled with voodoo.. I can't think of anything else. It downloads and reboots but after it gets about 1/5 through the install it gives a red triangle with the exclamation point above the Android chest. Suggestions?

Might want to also uninstall SS3 recovery & app. I had the same issue for a couple hours, but even after enabling all bloat, and removing SS3, I got the red "!", and red "me", so I said screw root, used the tool to restore factory, and updated without root... (my laptops were pissing me off too)
Jelly Beaned up on the mAtrix HD

Thread moved. Please post questions here in Q&A where they belong.
Thanks

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050416 - follow this guide to get to update, its due to customization (here is a quick, easy fix)

I had the same issue. I realized that I forgot to uninstall SafeStrap before I tried to flash it, so look into that and see if it works afterwards.

[Q] [REQ] Make Blur Launcher Auto-Rotate

Seems like a Dev could chew this one up. I want Blur home to auto-rotate. I know it has the functionality to and can properly render when in landscape (as evident in the car dock, when hitting exit), yet for some reason it doesn't.
I have checked the "auto-rotate" button under display, as well as uncheck it. It doesn't work. Unless I have a faulty unit, which I don't believe is so...
This is the first time I've stuck to a stock launcher. This thing is nice, let's admit it. I just want some rotation love.
Thanks

[ROM] 8/13 Blackhole Bionic 1.0 {Safestrap/Bootstrap}

Introducing Blackhole Bionic.
<disclaimer>
I cannot guarantee any success on your phone, and any loss of time, money, happiness, life, etc. that happens as a result of flashing this ROM is your own responsibility. I recommend you use Safestrap, but it will work with Bootstrap as well. Always have an FXZ ready in case something goes wrong. If you are on .235 or .238 I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AGAINST FLASHING THIS OR ANY ROM WITH BOOTSTRAP as there is no way to FXZ to a working build.
</disclaimer>
Some of you may remember me from the Samsung Fascinate or HTC Thunderbolt. I made a ROM called Blackhole, because there was nothing like it, but I wanted there to be. Something with choices. I wanted a ROM that was exactly what I wanted, and nothing that I didn't. No toolboxes, no bloatware, no apps that I'd never use just because the creator wanted to add them. What I created was a stock based ROM that was as empty as I could possibly make it without everything falling apart. And on the Bionic that philosopy has served me well again, as I've created the first Blur Based ROM that is flashable in Safestrap.
This ROM contains none of the usual apps you'd expect to see in a full release. It has been trimmed down to the bare minimum. Why should you keep the stock browser if you only use Chrome? Who needs the MotoEmail if you prefer K9? And why would you want Blockbuster saved on your system partition where you can never get rid of it, when it can be downloaded from the market so easily? The answer? You don't!
Most of the missing apps are downloadable from the market. This saves them on the /data partition where you have plenty of space, not limited by Safestrap.
This is the first public release of Blackhole for the Bionic, and I will be working over time to continue to slim it down and make more options available. Here is a list of what's in the current build. If I've used any of your work without credit I apologize, please let know and I'll credit you, or remove it if you have a problem.
Stock apps: Calendar, Contacts, Phone, Play Store, Search, Settings, Smart Actions*, Talk, Text Messaging
Market apps: Camera ICS*, Nova Launcher*
CM9/AOSP apps: Clock*, Gallery*, File Manager*
Mods: Build.prop edits, governers, and beats audio from RedHead by Sparkyman 216 (A fantastic ROM if you want a full featured, Flash-and-go setup) and 1% battery mod by Dluke (works on stock based .232 .235 or .238 ROMs)
(* indicates a future release will make this file an optional addon with the choice of Stock, CM9/AOSP, or Market apps (free only)
Screenshots
Video Review
Recommendations for replacing removed apps:
Browser: Chrome, Dolphin HD, Firefox
Email: K-9 Mail
Voicemail: Google Voice
I will be adding extra files daily to flash some of the stock apps back to the phone if you prefer them. these include Email, Desk/Car dock launchers, Gallery, Camera, Visual Voicemail, and anything else the users request.
Instructions:
Bootstrap:
1. Make sure you are running a version of bootstrap that will boot to recovery on every bootup. like this one.
2. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!
3. Data wipe should be unnecessary, but is recommended
4. Flash the downloaded ROM
5. Reboot
6. Install the bootstrap apk again.
7. Bootstrap recovery.
8*. Install a Root File Manager (Root Explorer, ES file manager, Astro, etc.)
9*. Delete /system/vendor/app (except for the swype apk if you use swype)
10*. Delete /preinstall/app
11. Enjoy
*Steps 8, 9 and 10 are not necessary, but will remove the extra bloatware I haven't figured out how to remove with my install script yet.
Safestrap:
1. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!
2. Switch to Safe Side
3. Wipe Data
4. Flash the downloaded ROM
5. Reboot
6. Enjoy
So without further words, here is Blackhole Bionic 1.0:
Blackhole Bionic 1.0
Mirror #1 by Krazyace38 from ROMbot.org
Mirror #2 by JP1044 from ROMbot.org
Add-ons:
If you are running Bootstrap you can flash any or all of the system versions of these files, and they will save to the /system partition and will be saved permanently into the ROM, and will remain after a data wipe. If you are running Safestrap your space is very limited, so you will not be able to flash everything to system. consider flashing some of these apps to /data instead, or using a market app. Some will not work if flashed to data, so there is no download option in the data section.

I have used google maps navigation and had no issues with it. I have not tried any other gps programs. Just be aware that it's not pre-installed and you will have to download it from the market. prepare for that before you're in the car getting pulled over for trying to download it while driving =)
Thanks!!! I just flashed and downloaded it.. Also downloaded google maps. I will test drive for a few days and come back an tell how it went. Thanks for adding on to the awesome Bionic rom list =)

Lol maybe you haven't flashed to many ics roms but any of the cm9 and aokp roms have this battery icon. I personally like it better than the cm7 or cm9 number and skinny bar. And its def better than stock.

I've been on .232 CM9 since I got the phone (with the exception of the first 16 hours while I was learning how to not break it). I've never used the 1% option, mostly because I hate having a cluttered status bar and because I use circle battery widget on my homescreen.
I would rather there not be any numbers there. Since they are there, I think the mod would benefit from taking them off the battery icon altogether, putting both numbers centered over the battery icon, or at least making the battery icon skinnier so that the second number is centered inside of it. The way it is currently makes it look like an unintentional mistake, largely due to how misaligned the second number is over the battery.
I've never done anything with themeing, maybe I'll take this on as a little project for myself.
Hell yeah. Make sure to show your work!
We are always looking for fresh mods in here.
Good luck and make sure to report back!

This sounds exactly like what I've been looking for. How soon could you make the car dock available to flash back in. That's the one piece it's missing for me.
Car dock is actually included in this build because I use it myself and haven't made an add-back flasher for it yet

You just flash it over any android version you already have, but ONLY on the LG REVOLUTION.
To get a zip just, unroot, ota to ZVB, reroot, make a backup, and send it to me, at which point i can get a ZVB ROM pushed out.
And some features of this are not ready, a am working as fast as i can to get features made or ported.
V2!
Version 2 is here!
It has some new features(Xposed).
The battery icon is not fixed, it will be fixed later.

Theme manager does not work, i rushed to get this ROM released, because I lagged too long.
So in V2.1 OR V3 it should work, and the status bar in V2.1.
Is the hidden LG menu in this build. ##program910 with 00000 force closes, and ##lgservicemenu I get a ringing tone.

[GUIDE]How to safely root MJA 4.3

Hello Everyone.
Its has come to my attention that alot of people are having issues rooting the new OTA MJA 4.3. I have found the safest way to root MJA without any problems. Ive had several members test my method and it has worked on the frist try without any problems. I'm going to give my steps in a detailed way that it is very easy to understand and as well download links to what i used to root 4.3 MJA. Now here we go everyone.
Items Required
1. A GS4 on the 4.3 MJA OTA
2. Laptop or desktop
3. USB cord
4. ODIN 3.07
5. CF Root
6.CWM 6.0.4.4(Comfirmed working on the I9000 and I9505 for restore backups without any issues)
DISCLAIMER: I am not at fualt for anything happening to your phone. If you follow my guide word for word you want have any issues. Note this well still trip the knox counter to 0x1. As there is no way to stop this from happening at this time.
STEP ONE
First things first download all the files you need from the links below. While thats do that grab your S4 and hold the power button down until the menu pops up and select power off and hit ok. Now make sure you let the device power down fully before doing anything esle or you will have issues. Once powered down fully take ur phone and press and hold the power+volume down until you see green words on the screen and hit the volume up button to continue and now your in download mode.
STEP TWO
Now find CF Root file you will have to open the zip with 7zip. Now start ODIN 1.85 and now connect your device to your computer via the USB cord. You should see a yellow box with the word COM in it doesn't matter what the number is. Now hit the PDA button and select the CF Root tar file. Then hit start and dont unplug the USB cord until it says pass in odin. It will reboot and let it reboot fully and go to your app drawer and check and make sure SuperSU is in the app draw open it and update it. Now go to play store and download rootchecker app and verify that you have root.
STEP THREE
Once you have verified your rooted now hold the power button down wait for the menu to pop up and hit power off the device dont forget to let fully power down and now hit the power+volume down and wait for the green letters to pop up and hit the volume up to continue in to download mode. Now open ODIN3.07 and then hook your device back to your computer wait for the yellow or blue box with COM and any number and go to PDA button and select the CWM 6.0.4.4 tar file and hit the start button and wait for ODIN to say pass which now with the new bootloader it adds a extra 2 min to the boot time so the phone boot and sit until odin says pass and now you are rooted and have a custom recovery. Now power down the device and wait for it to finish powering down for the last time and press and hold power+volume up until you see blue,red and yellow words in the top left corner and now your in your custom recovery and now make a backup so if anything happens you have something to fall back on. Cuz your on 4.3 now until furture notice theres no returning to MF9 the bootloader will not let you go back if you try to you will tons of problems and headaches trust me ive seen the posts.
Now you have successfully rooted and put a custom recovery on your S4 with the 4.3 MJA update. If having any issues plz dont be scared to ask i will do what i can help you. ENJOY!!!!
THANKS

This guide will work if you take the OTA I dont think it will work if your have the the MF9 bootloader. I did unroot MF9 then I install the 4.3 OTA then rerooted after that. Sorry for all the confusion and problems everyone is having with this guide I should have been more clear.
one more the road
First after the OP
@pvinodnayak What a thing of it buddy

Great simple write up G!
This puts together what's in about six different posts offer many pages.
Also,
Can someone provide a source on the "confirmation" that Sprint will replace the phone. I saw a few people say that on some other threads, but have yet to see a source - reputable I mean. I know I'd be real pissed if I killed my$500 device and was left in the cold.

Thank you galaxy. Hopefully more ppl will actually use this instead of potentially bricking their device and making another pointless thread.

It removes all Knox related files. Note: this doesn't remove Knox boot loader or reset the 0x1.

Hey. So I'm on sacs awesome v8. Should I jump to 4.3? Do you notice any differences? Im thinking about getting the gear so u probably need to make the jump. Just going to miss some of the customizations. Was it an easy discussion for you?

Well here is my 2 cents on it. I know this device pretty good, and I notice a major difference in how things are with MJA. The visual changes were astounding after I updated, cause the display is so so much cleaner, I was so amazed. No lag, great smoothness in transitions and such. Also yes, you will need 4.3 for full gear support, but man I'll tell ya, we've made some good strides in the past few days with all the drama 4.3 dropped on us. YES, there are a few hoops to Jim thru to eat to MJA, and no, you cannot go back to MF9 at the moment, but Why would anyone expect this to all to be so easy eventide is crazy.
Today wth security concerns, and tech getting more and more advanced, things are bound to change. I don't thnk this update is worth selling the S4. Only got UF working on his rom update FOR MJA and he also got a flashable for the modems if your still on MF9, which people said couldn't be done. You got Sac already workng on MJA, and a few others helping us out as well. CNexus, likearaptor, ect.....
So my conclusion to my Trolling, Off-topic, subject for cancelation of my account possibly lol, It's all p to you. If you wanna experience Google and Sammy 's newest edition for or device, and have full support for your Gear, then yes, go for it. But f you can't live without some hardware tweaks, themes, ect.. For a week or so, then I would say no. Dude, you should know me by know. You think I like running the StockUI lol? NOOOOOOOOO lol...
Edit... And Primo, This is all after in used THIS method to gain 4.3. It's really very easy. You have me on Hangouts if ya need me, and Teddy here is a frakken awesome guy, he'll help you out for surr if needed
**Sorry Teddy lol, I'll erase this all if you like**
