Hi I purchased a galaxy s from ebay the guy said the phone has recently started crashing I have yet to receive the phone so cant try anything yet but he says up until now the phone was fine, I have done a little research and thinking his wife updated to newest firmware which Google says is causing this.
Im just trying to get a head start on the fix before i get the phone, and was wondering if any you guys with one these have experienced this.
Would flashing a new firmware or custom ROM sort this out, I am thinking yes.
Thanks in advance
AW: Galaxy s keeps crashing stock rom?
If its just a software problem you can easily fix it with a Custom Rom

Ok I have a bit more info from the seller.
I asked him to describe his words "crashing" and he came back and said
I said
Hi could you explain the "Crash" as i'm wondering weather if it be worth the repair or just to use as parts for my one that needs a new screen and loud speaker.
What do you mean by it crashes? I.E it just turns off? or something else?

So I am leading to believe that re flashing the firmware will sort this? or a custom ROM?

Hello,
at the moment I have the previous Version installed.
Must I wipe anything when I upgrade to new Version?
Nand-Backup will be done by me. Is there a need to backup with Titanium to keep settings etc. of my installed apps?
Sorry for lots of questions by...but I'm newbie
Thanx a lot!
so...upgraded to new version. No wipe needed at all. Aroma-Installer is quite easy to use.
All my settings still there
Only thing is, that the Nova HD Mod isn't useable in this ROM.....hoping for an update too!!!
Great work!!
I'll release an update at the evening, and will also update holo themed apps.

i loaded nova hd rc23-47 yesterday. Tried to update to -48 within android but the download would fail every time. If i let the phone idle, it would re-start. If i kept it going to sleep (not letting the screen go dark) it would download to 99% and fail.
Only tested for a few minutes everything seemed to work except the cam recorder which crashed.

Thank you!!!
Just installed, but now the issue with the notificaton bar not visible after reboot is there again...
After receiving a message, the not.-bar is visible again...
How could this be fixed?
Do you follow the guide and post your results?
No, not yet.
For now I use the workaround sending me a message from my wife's phone after reboot ;-)

Hi,
Just got a new Razr i and overall I am very impressed with it so far. It is a great upgrade from my Defy plus.
I have a few questions before I start to look at customising it with unlocked boot loaders and root.
FLASH
One of the main reasons for wanting to customise to get flash working. Can I get this with rooting without unlocking the boot loader?
Does enabling flash work for BBC iplayer etc. Or does it just enable it in the browsers.
ROOT/BOOTLOADER
What extra will I get from going the full hog and unlocking the bootloader rather than just rooting?
CWM
What is required to get CWM on the device?
I have read the guides on rooting etc and I am used to customising ROMs etc but just want to make sure I am on the right track before I commit with the new phone.
Many thanks
What does

You need root to install flash in apps.
For those bad sites which need flash there's at least two browser which support flash on themselves.
You cannot root with firmware update 39 and 40.
So unless u r still on 32 you need to unlock the bootloader.
Weather that's the right thing to u or not depends on you.

There's also the issue of running flash in the Intel Atom CPU.

Its not an issue but you need to have root to move the files to the right places.
Theres one or two threads in here with a lot of positive results, i saw it via webcam a week ago and it doesnt surprise me.
The thing is that flash is a dead and bad format, dead is the good part.
Thanks for the replies. Going to give it a try next week.

Flash still rocks. Its the monopoly of these getting big giants that they are not keepibg support of flash. It has helped rich media for almost a decade. It can get even better but they want html5. So they can make it their properity. We all have seen the results of html5 app recently and thats facebook for android. Total failed platform. So i am still on ics just because of flash support.

Hi,
I've updated my device to Custom Rom, but now I'm missing Swype.
Could anybody upload that version or tell me where to find it in the Motorola Rom?

The official ex-beta is totally different compared to 3.26
But I've found a site with all version
I could use a root backup app as I'm on stock rom and send you it on 4 shared or email or something if you want.

Hi!
That would be pretty nice.
I'm on this version right now: Swype 3.26.92.39062.apk
I really like the hardware of the razr i, but I hate the software.
No mass storage, no "qick unlock without hitting enter after swyping in the password, no overclocking, no themes...
Man, android is so much work in case of a new phone.
Just sent you a pm linked onto 4 shared with my backup ... I couldn't post here because I'm too new to post links :banghead:

Hm, downloaded the version, installed it but getting force close just after hitting a text field.
Any idea how to get it to work?

No Problem
I'm nothing different.
The funny thing is: I can install that in my Desire, even regarding the fact, that the revolution does not match.
On the razr it shuts down immediately.
I really start to dislike Motorola

Also I am looking for the apk in my root browser... I'll see if there's an .odex file that goes with it... what is your rom?

4.1.2, the custom room from the Omar.

So I checked the system, and there was no .odex but I looked at where the apk originally came from and its from the location system/vendor/app and is named SwypeEMEA.apk so it may possibly work if you rename it to that, and place it in that folder (I'm assuming you are rooted). If that doesn't work (or you don't want to mess around placing files in the system), I don't know what you can do other than install it off the playstore or use RSD to flash an original RAZR I rom with swype on it ... you can find RSD and a load of stock roms on a topic in RAZR I general ... its called RAZR tools for noobs I think. Sorry the backup didn't work

You need libSwypeCore.so in system/vendor/lib
Can't help you right now..
Also, verify your permissions
Cool, thx.
Will wait for the lib.
Think i will flash pi-lama in the meantime.
It's really sad that there is only a small community for that device and that it's so tricky caused by Intel

Try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233185
But I think in thread about Omar Avelar's ROM there is somewhere zip file to install swype, because of some pepople wanted it.
Hi all, tried checking various threads and don't seem to be able to track down this problem.
Basically my phone decided to lose root for some reason, and then when I rebooted to check it went into a bootloop.
I reflashed Nut's .569 rom, superSU fix, and the stripped ftf.
Phone boots up fine, but now when I press the home button, nothing happens.
I also have Llama and there's no ongoing notification and buncha settings are messed up like ringtones, etc.
Any fix for the home button and reason why I can't get Llama notification back on the status bar? Tried everything so far.
Edit: seems like my status bar is dead or something.
Edit 2: Stock Sony camera is also dead. But other 3rd party cams are working.
Bizarre.
I would say, flash again. But make a clean flash. :victory:
Reflash Nut's rom, supersu fix, and reflash stripped ftf with wipe everything. This should solve everything as this doesn't seem like a hardware problem.

I've done that several times already. No difference. Everything feels dead in terms of the UI. No notifications, no google search Swipe, no alarm, no camera.
It seems that my /data/ is also empty. Wonder what may have caused this.
