4.1.2 fxz file - Motorola Droid Bionic

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40450744#post40450744
The link to the 4.1.2 fxz is above what i want to know is if anybody has tried this? what version of rsdlite did you use? im sure there will be a way to root in a couple of days

Umm.. Actually Dan has retired from exploiting the software for root access so I would not fxz unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise you will be root free, and possibly permanently.

hmmmm...well that kinda sucks. Guess I have an excuse to get a Note 2 in two months when my contract expires.

I tried the fxz file
I tried the FXZ file. It worked, except now my internal storage is not mounted, and I cannot get it to mount. Naturally, most of my apps won't work.
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks.

Well, I rebooted a few times. During the last time, a notification appeared and indicated my storage has issues (or something like that) and needed formatting. I hit okay, now it works. Thank God!!!!!!!

Same thing happened to me, I corrupted my internal storage while OTA updating, and had to flash 4.1.2. After format, did you lost all the data in the internal storage?

Correct. I thought FXZ did this anyway so I backed up all the important stuff already.
You can just reformat your internal storage and voila, you have app memory.
PS - is anyone else's FXZ'ed JB horribly horribly choppy and unresponsive? Used the FXZ from the "Firmware Team"s thread in devlopment.
edit- my phone rebooted after battery died, much smoother now. not sure what happened there...

[ROM] Verizon i815 STOCK ICS rooted IMM76D.LP11 - Verizon OTA as CWM flashable ROM

UPDATE: My hosting I had for XDA related work expired, so I re-uploaded everything here: http://www.mods4cars.com/pub/xda
Here's the new Verizon OTA packaged up as a full CWM flashable ROM. Wiping should not be necessary if you are coming from our last ICS ROM (LP10).
This is meant for those who have CWM installed and for those who modified their system to the point that the OTA does not work because it expects certain files.
If you are on full stock (rooted) ICS LP10 and are not getting the OTA update the regular way, you can look here for a way to manually install it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932597&page=26
The rom is pre-rooted. After installing, run super-su and let it check for binary updates. Also a cached copy of su for restoring with Voodoo OTA rootkeeper is included (for extra safety).
Part1: The ROM
Install with CWM
http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP11_i815.zip
Part2: The MODEM
Flash with ODIN in PHONE section
http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP11_i815_modem.tar
Part3 (optional): Stock Recovery
If you want to be full stock afterwards, flash with ODIN in PDA section
http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP11_i815_recovery.tar
Part4 (optional): Stock SBL
If you did all 3 parts above and want to be able to receive future Verizon OTA's flash this in ODIN in BOOTLOADER section
http://electron73.org/XDA/i815/electron_ICS-LP11_i815_sbl.tar
Enjoy
Many thanks!
Thanks Electron. You da man for us i815 owners.
Many thanks! I just decided to go back to stock for stability reasons. Your method works perfectly.
I don't know where many of us i815 users would be without your help. Thanks again man!

Did you have lots of apps installed? I just realized it's doing a run_program("/tmp/fsck.ext4", "-Dfy", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10");
on the data partition. If that partition is full with lots of files then the check might take a while. The status bar doesn't move while this command is executing. I never tried it on a "full" partition! A freshly wiped data partition is checked in 2 seconds

Yeah, I had about 100 apps installed. In any case, I tried it again through CWM. When it did the check this time, it took about 10 secs. So the first one must've been a hiccup or something. I was able to flash ROM and then radios through ODIN, so I think I'm good. I looked at the files on the internal storage and the SD card and they are still there, so I'm assuming that I'm good. Anything else to check or are there any log files that you want me to try to grab for you? Thanks again.

Hmm ok, definitely good to hear that it ran through the 2nd time. Maybe I should kick the FS checks out. They are still left over from last time where we had all those partition problems...
If you want, go check in the /cache dir for any log files left by CWM, maybe there's something in there.
Btw. Thank you for the generous donation! It is very much appreciated

I think the logs from the successful install are there but I don't see anything from the unsuccessful one, as far as I can tell.
RE: the donation, I meant to give you something from the original LP10 update and I just plumb forgot (after telling you that I was going to send something), so I figured that there was some interest involved. Thanks to all of your hard work.

Also, regarding the current ROM, I really curious about the supposed batt life increases. My tab at this point is barely getting 4-5 hours screen time with it set fairly dim. Is that normal or should I be getting more that that? I don't suppose that a ROM update will help with screen time much, but just curious to hear what others are getting.
Update was painless

My battery life is just shy of 8 hours with 40% brightness, wifi and 4G on. GPS off. This is better than LP10.
The first step went flawlessly using TWRP. I'll flash the LP11 modem.bin tonight using Odin.
Thanks for this, Electron. I'm about to make another small donation to your beer (or whatever) fund!

I have never tried TWRP on this tab. What's the current version for our i815? Does it work well? I assume just like CWM it doesn't accept stock OTAs though, does it?
I still keep going back to stock recovery in order to accept OTAs (which never come for me haha and I end up updating manually!)

It was hard to flash (the apk method didn't work, I had to use Odin -- which really is no big deal, just scary for some). In any event, I'm running 2.3.10 available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1809295
I love TWRP... so much easier than fumbling with the volume and power buttons.
Never tested with OTA because I rely on you! :good:
I like TWRP but wish it could mount my encrypted /data partition like it could for my Nexus 7.

Did you wipe data/cache? Coming from CM10 you definitely need to do a clean install. You can simply flash the "wipe" version of the LP10 rom first, then upgrade to the LP11

[Q] How to get my free space?

Sorry in advance for my not perfect english.
I'm using less than 7GB on my Moto X "16gb" but it says that I don't have space left.
When I'm checking with ES Explorer 3, with the options ticked to show all hiddens files, it's said that what I take is less than 7GB. The same on Windows and Linux.
But when I do the ES Explorer 3: SD analyser it's said that 11.41GB is used, but if I calcul everything single size on that screen, I see only less than 7GB.
So what is all about that?
What I really want is to know how do I get my 5GB left? I use only 7GB out of 12GB. So, in simple mathematics, 12-7=5!!!
I don't wanna remove my 7GB stuff because I'm supossed to have 5GB left.
I put the pictures too in the attachments box.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
I was needed to delete some user stuff but now, without adding anything, is re-say that I don't have space left
I'm tired of this sh*t. NOBODY to help? I payed for 12GB but don't have it, I'm sick of this

I don't see a LOST.DIR folder and I never deleted file on the phone from the computer, only from the phone itself.
Still don't know what to do :/
It's there a efficient way to see if there's actually a LOST.DIR folder? I mean beside just plugged in on Windows or Linux?
Anyways, thanks for your post
Only other thing other than that folder, is maybe needing to just flash stock again. And see if its fine after.
But you could keep searching on missing space.... There's many many threads for other devices too. Your issue may not be device specific and Troubleshooting ideas from other devices could help.
Or sit tight and see if anyone has other ideas.
But don't downgrade android versions. You'd need to flash the version you're on now again.

How to flash stock again if I'm not rooted? Also I don't want to lost my files on the sdcard...
I gonna see elsewhere but it's bad needing to see everywhere for such a thing, I still not understand why is possible
EDIT:
I keep searching but still not found the same problem than me, they said the same message but the phone itself actually that there a those GB free, beside me that it said that I only have MB free.
I don't wanna reset my phone because this not supossed to happen, never...
The worse is I can't even install a 500kb app lol
EDIT 2: I unistalled a big app but still cannot the 500kb one WTF Happen?
It maybe isn't "supposed" to happen... But things just happen.
See return to stock section in the "complete Moto x guide" in general. You can flash some ways without losing data. But in your case with corrupt partition, I would wipe it all. Or it might not get fixed. Transfer important things to your pc. As far as apps and data, try helium. I hear it doesn't need root. Then transfer is backup to your pc too.

A factory/reset from the settings isn't good?

No point in stressing about why... Or how it should be... It is what it is now.
If you can't communicate with the pc properly, you may have issues flashing also. Try another cable maybe?
I'm not sure what else to say. Flashing to stock is maybe the only way. Sorry!

Twrp Backups not showing in recovery

before anyone says anything about using a search function let me say that i have searched every page on this site/google/youtube/ etc for an answer or fix
but anyway, so i screwed up and installed an old firmware update (mistakingly thinking it was new) and ran into a ton of issues, that after an extremely long night, i was able to fix.
i managed to load up the stock rom 4.4.2 that i had when i initially unlocked my device, and was hoping to copy over my twrp back up that i made earlier that day. when i make a twrp back up, i usually copy it to my pc to save phone space, and i tried to copy it back, and i put it in the backup folder, and although i can find it in file manager, i cant recover it. looking at the folder it looks like every other backup ive ever made, i have no idea why it wont show. i got a flasher app "Rashr" and it doesnt recognize it as a recovery folder either. does something need to be different? when i tried the twrp app, it selected all the typical boot img etc things but then says that it has to restart and when it does the twrp recovery still doesnt recognize it.
help ideas?
im still actively working it and if anyone finds anything that'll be wonderful thanks
I was helping you yesterday no?
I think what happened when you flashed a 4.1.2 you changed the file structure.
4.2.x and above handle things differently.
If you look in data/media/0/twrp you should find your backup.
I would still suggest running the latest RUU and starting fresh and it will give you the correct file structure.

yeah, your probably right, just thought I'd throw it out there.
i managed to use the files i used to root my phone to restore my phone back to a usable state. im not exactly sure if its RUU but my phone is basically back to where it was almost 5 months ago, luckily i had did an htc backup about 3 weeks ago, so i didnt quite lose every thing. its back to 4.4.2. im not exactly sure if my issue is making sense.
i have a back up i made on twrp, i cut and paste it to my desktop. when i put it in my twrp backup folder, its treated as if its not there. i can physically search for it and find it within the folder. is there a certain way that backups are made? i just made a backup of my device today, and it created a seperate FAxxxxxxxxx folder, im gonna try and put it in there to see if it helps any, but at this point im thinking i should give up and admit a lost cause.

You must have ran the RUU file. Once you run the RUU file and you have to unlock everything using the HTC DEV method then yes, you will loose everything because the RUU file will bring your phone as it was coming out of the store.

Storage Capacity Wrong. 64gb Model Shows 32gb

My nexus 6 64gb, as it says on the box, is showing 32gb. I just got it from tmobile today and didnt bother to check the storage size in the phone before rooting and flashing a new 5.1 factory image. however to my horror i noticed that the storage size says 32gb!!!
I have tried formatting the storage in both custom recovery and by flashing userdata.img, nothing works. I have flashed a full factory image three times. The storage stays at 32gb... How can i fix this?

Factory reset from phone settings or recovery.
I have, this is also the same thing as formatting the userdata partition. My storage is showing up as 25.98gb which is usually what the 32gb nexus 6 actually shows. The 64gb, when malfunctioning, shows 23.xxGB... is it even possible to recieve the wrong storage size? i did just get it today...

When you flash or update your firmware, DO NOT flash the userdata partition, as it's not meant to be flashed (especially on models that have a higher storage capacity when multiple storage options for the device exist). The UserData partition should instead be formatted, as @The_Merovingian mentioned in their prior post. If you do flash the userdata partition, then ensure you format it manually prior to booting the device.

Soft Bricked Boost 510 / Won't go past second HTC boot screen

Minding my own business one day when a Google services app on the phone stopped working and kept popping up, so I rebooted to help fix it. The phone now hangs at the HTC boot screen after the boost logo had already come up. Completely stock, never unlocked or rooted, and I have no idea what went wrong. Unfortunately, I can't do a factory reset from HBOOT because there's important documents on the phone's internal storage. What can I do to fix this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

There's not much you can do. You're gonna have to factory reset because even if you unlock the boot loader at this point the phone is going to reset anyway.. You should always keep stuff that's important on the sd card not internal.
There may be a way using adb and a computer using adb pull but I think that's just for the sd card I don't know if you can navigate to internal using a pc because I don't have that type of issue.
Try hooking it up to the pc and see if you can get into the internal storage.

Try to boot into safe mode. As soon as you see the first HTC screen on boot up, hold the Down volume button and keep holding it until the phone boots or at least for about 15 seconds to see if it will work.

I totally forgot about safe mode bro lol
ADB won't work because I never enabled USB debugging, unless ADB pull doesn't require that. Computer doesn't see anything when it hangs. Safe mode was a no-go either :/ I don't have an SD card to put stuff on right now, although I really should've. Just didn't expect something like this to ever happen so suddenly. Thank you guys

I did too for a minute, but I'm totally lost as to what could fix this problem. I'm just throwing out any answer and hopefully it helps.

The last thing I can think of is take it back to the place you bought it from, if that is possible. Especially if you didn't mod the phone. I've never heard of this problem.
I'm trying something really creative that I remember doing on an old One V. Starting the latest RUU, pulling the ROM from the temp files, placing it on an SD card, applying it in the stock recovery. It's a long shot, but its a shot. The only problem is knowing what to name the zip, update.zip doesn't seem to work.

I'm still scratching my head on this one because I've never heard of this happening with the 510.

Did you happen to do anything to the phone before this started? Did you delete any files or programs? Did the phone do an over the air update? Anything you can remember?

Nothing of the sort, just browsing social media. News on what I tried: renamed the pulled ROM zip 0PCVIMG.zip and booted HBOOT. HBOOT accepted it as an update and I "updated" it, however, it wiped the phone. It's alive and well, but it's wiped. However, I'm left with something really off. The storage settings show 3.15GB of "other" on the internal storage, which I'm thinking might be my old data. My Files doesn't show anything as well as when hooked up to my PC. I'm going to be forever scratching my head on this as well.

That's basically the carriers crap/programs on there... Mine says that too but a bit less since I've gotten rid of a lot of bloatware.
May I ask how you managed to get the phone to accept that as an update?

I went through the official HTC RUU's temp files to find a zip called "rom.zip". I copied that to a clean SD card, renamed it to 0PCVIMG.zip (in HBOOT, it would check to see if those files were on the SD card before coming to the main screen), then the phone unzipped it and asked if I wanted to update. Thinking it would act as a normal update, I hit " yes". It took about 10 min to finish flashing in HBOOT (not recovery). It rebooted to a clean slate 510.

I was just curious because I thought you didn't have an sd card but glad it's working again albeit wiped.

Yeah I went out and bought one in hopes I could move everything to it. I've been using OTG drives for a while on everything else I have and thought SD cards were a pain, boy was I wrong.

The SD card for this phone is rather pretty important if you ask me because with the very limited amount of space we have on it is a major problem when it comes to installing a lot of the programs/apps we use... I think the SD card is a lifeline since it keeps the backups and personal stuff on it and if anything goes wrong that little card saves you lol...

I just factory reset my phone and I only have 2.75GB in Other. I wonder what that stuff is on your phone. What is 0PCVIMG.zip? Where did you get it from?

I ran the RUU for my phone and found its temp files by opening the process' file location. Scroll through the files and find rom.zip that the RUU creates. Wait for it to copy and then close the RUU. Renamed the rom.zip to 0PCVIMG.zip because of the model of the phone, and HBOOT looking for the image. As for the space, I have no idea either. I'm going to get it swapped out at best buy if I can.

I'm fairly certain that the 2.75GB of used space is your carriers bloatware crap.. It's even on it's own partition and you can gather that information from running adb shell and then cat proc/emmc
