[ROM][CWM] T959VUVKD1 - Deodexed FIXED [6/9/2011]

Nothing new .. still stock KD1 ROM. All I did was fixed Krylon's CWM KD1. Yes .. this one will flash without any issue.
Same credit as the previous thread goes to whitehawkx, luckyduck69, and joedev.
And special thanks to badb4lyfe for testing it.
Instruction:
- Put zip file in your /sdcard
- Reboot to cwm recovery
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Wipe Cache Partition
- Then proceed with zip installation
NOTE (6/7/2011)
I've fixed both ROM and edify script, I've tested it several times and flashed without any issue. For dev, list of things I did to fix this:
1. amend2edify tools is nice, but still not 100% accurate. I had to change and add few things to make it work, especially the permission. The boot loop that happened to several of you was because of permission to some of the directories wasn't set correctly.
2. Install app from both market and adb should be fixed. For some reason, both cwm that krylon built and odin version chmod /data/app directory as 755 and owned by root. This needs to be 771 and both uid/gid needs to be system. For dev, if you add apk to /data/app on your ROM, make sure the file permission is correct .. other wise it will break app installation process.
3. OS FC due when enabling wifi was fixed as well.
Special thanks to robbbit for testing this fix and dsexton702 for finding out the final piece. Follow dsexton702 post for how to

NEW UPDATE (6/9/2011):
As promised, I've updated the zip with kernel and modem this time. Also included few updates and fixes:
- Kernel and Modem now included (sorry about that).
- Cleaned up edify script a little.
- Added permission check scripts to check files and directory permissions after installation.
- Replaced modded recovery with a proper modded recovery which was for sgs4g.

Well .. if you want to keep using ODIN ..then be my guest. I created this to help other start their own custom ROM. As for GB .. continue waiting because it will be awhile before SGS4G get GB.

Because not everyone wants to use Odin or heimdall everytime they soft brick their phone during testing AND not everyone wants to do a CWM restore they might want a fresh start without having to go to their computer
ALSO

Don't deodex and dump the rom again ... this ROM is already Deodexed and added permission script to prevent it from boot loop. Auto deodexer doesn't use permission script and for some reason sgs4g doesn't like that.
Were you able to flash this ROM, unchanged .. and boot from it?
Make sure you wipe before flashing (wipe factory reset and wipe cache partition from cwm)

i was wondering if anyone else had this problem..
rom flashed and boots fine. but when i go to install ANY APP, it proceeds to
download said app,
attempts to install
while installing the phone starts to vibrate (one vibrate, then 3)
then a black screen where the buttons on the bottom lights up
then it kicks me back to lockscreen.
no app installed no nothing. i was wondering if it was just me, or is this happening to anyone else?

[MB865][ICS][LEAK] ICS Leak on QA Server - 672.1.18.en.03 (08/28/2012)

A leak is available on QA server (master-qa1.blurdev.com) - if any one is active please download. Will upload the files shortly.
Update Files:
Update files will be available under the following folder -
https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0Bw_GlllN6a_WVHViaEZ5UWlFZ2M/edit
ICS.672.1.12.en.03.7z (07/08/2012)
ICS.672.1.13.en.03.7z (07/14/2012)
ICS.672.1.16.en.03.7z (07/29/2012)
ICS.672.1.17.en.03.7z (08/18/2012)
ICS.672.1.18.en.03.zip (08/27/2012)
Installing SEARET:
(You only need to do this, if you are not already SEARET version and ICS update is failing because of signature error or assertions)
(You need to use RSD Lite to flash these, these are NOT update .zip files flashable through any recovery mode)
Install the stock image file 5.5.1-EDEM-28-37-SEARET_cfc.xml.zip from here using Motorola RSD Lite (google around to figure out how to use the RSD Lite)
Once the installation is complete the phone should boot up in 55.28.37.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03
If you are using an older version of SBF file (5.5.1-EDEM-27-SEARET_cfc.xml.zip), you'll need to use the "System Update" to update to the latest SEARET
Update to ICS:
(Before starting with these steps make sure to take a backup of your data using Titanium Backup or any other tool. Make sure your phone is charged at least to 50%)
Download the latest ICS update file from here (.7z)
Extract the 7z file - you should find .zip and a CRC file (mysteriously the CRC in this file never matches the image file)
Copy the .zip file onto your SD Card (.zip will be named after the version for which the update is applicable)
Boot into the stock recovery mode
Shut down by pressing the power button
Power up by holding down both the Vol Up + Down buttons and pressing power button
This should get you to "Boot Mode Selection Menu"
Press Vol Down button till you reach the "Recovery"
Select "Recovery" mode by pressing Vol Up button
This should take you to Recovery mode (little Android with a warning sign)
Once you are here, press both the Vol Up + Down buttons to get the recovery menu
Select the "apply update from sd card" option and choose the update file you just copied (use Vol Up/Down to move the selection and power button to select folder/file)
Let the patching/update complete (will take about 5-10min)
Reboot once the update complete (you should boot into ICS version)
Note:
If you are seeing signature errors or assertions that means either you do not have an MB865 or you have installed a custom recovery (such as ClockWork Mod) - installing SEARET using RSD Lite as mentioned above is the simplest way to fix this (though I'm sure there are right ways to do this, I'm not sure though)
You might want to do Wipe Data + Cache at the recovery before and after the ICS update - just to avoid any issues
Rooting ICS:
(You would need to root only if you want to remove any bloatware)
Download Razr4.0.4ROOT.zip from this post
Connect the phone with USB Debugging enabled (option is available under developer section in the settings)
Run the ROOT.bat file (phone will reboot a couple of times)
Warning:
System Update/Cheesecake/Auto-cheesecake will not work after this update (so, in other words you are stuck with this leak)
To update to the latest ICS or to find more leaks, you'll have to downgrade to SEARET (as far as I understand the updates/leaks will only apply to phones with SEARET version, update from previous leak to latest update is not possible)
UPDATE-1:
Update files will be available under the following folder -
https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0Bw_GlllN6a_WVHViaEZ5UWlFZ2M/edit
ICS.672.1.12.en.03.7z (07/08/2012)
UPDATE-2:
I was able to flash this successfully on my MB865 (Indian Version, Non AT&T) after flashing SEARET files from here and allowing the OTA update to 2.3.6. Flashed using the stock recovery. I was also able to successfully root using the Razr4.0.4ROOT.zip from this post.
UPDATE-2:
Updated benchmark results from Quadrant and AnTuTu.
UPDATE-3:
Updated the steps to be followed to flash this and the latest leak ICS.672.1.13.en.03.7z (as on 14th July 2012)
UPDATE-4:
Updated the latest leak ICS.672.1.16.en.03.7z (as on 29th July 2012)
UPDATE-5:
Updated the latest leak ICS.672.1.17.en.03.7z (as on 18th August 2012)
UPDATE-6:
Updated the latest leak ICS.672.1.18.en.03.zip (as on 27th August 2012)

huh?? wat wat wat?
Is this ICS update for international MB865?
Can AT&T apply this update?

I'm on a non AT&T MB865 (Indian Version).
But the updates are not going through for me, you might want to give it a try.
Try cheesecake with master-qa1.blurdev.com server.

ATM master-qa1 is empty (for the AT&T A2 at least) . Thanks a lot for the heads-up but what we really need is people using AT&T ROMs checking cheesecake like crazy until we find something like this except for AT&T.
This goes to show that Moto is still sometimes pushing updates to their servers, so we just have to keep on checking.

So I hope to look at this download soon it could be Us version..... Btw these updates are only up for a few min at a time ..... IF YOU SEE THEM DOWNLOAD DO NOT INSTALL..... only get a brief window to get them..... Screen shot said edison!!!!!

As I understand it, until a dev finds a way to make it work on the US AT&T version of the Atrix 2, it's a good idea to just avoid anything that anybody says, at least that's the track I'm taking. Yes, I want an ICE CREAM SANDWICH too (doesn't everybody? ) but I'll remain patient till either a) a talented dev from around here or wherever drops a working functional AT&T-ready and compatible ICS ROM or b) Motorola gives it up themselves.
I've been doing ROM swaps for nearly a decade now on several hundred devices and I swear to some higher power, I'm sick to death of doing it, I want a solid reliable ICS ROM and if I have to wait another 6 months to get it, so be it. Running Remus v2.0 right now and it hasn't given me anything but stability and it's awesome.
I only hope ICS for the Atrix 2 can match it.
So, my advice is just wait, be patient, and we'll get it at some point - "we" meaning those of us with the AT&T Atrix 2, that is.
Is it ironic that in almost all situations with respect to consumer electronics the US has the favored hand, but when it comes to cell phones we end up getting shafted to some degree with updates like that? How very odd... guess the Atrix 2 is more popular in other parts of the world, who knows.

[VIDEO] FP5 Update Zip + Rooting Stock

I felt this warranted its own thread, and is pertinent to development. So here's to my first thread in the development section!
As you know, the Charge is getting an update to its Gingerbread stock ROM, titled FP5.
I was one of the lucky ones to get it early, so I pulled it out of cache and uploaded it to Dropbox.
So here it is:
http://db.tt/feigCZuH
If you want to try it:
You need to be fully stock before you can use this. This includes being on RFS. Then download, rename to update.zip, place on root of SD, and flash on the stock recovery.
To Root (assuming starting at stock FP5):
Download the CWM flashable root zip, found at http://androidsu.com/superuser/ (its rude of me to hotlink it). Download the whole package for ARM, not just binary (get 3.0.7-efghi-signed). Put it on your SD card.
NOTE: Most of us Charge users have found that SuperSU (Chainfire's replacement for Superuser) is much more stable on this device. I personally recommend SuperSU, but if you want to keep using superuser, it's your call. Installation instructions will be the same, just Google SuperSU and download the zip rather than Superuser.
Then, get the CWM recovery, and flash it via Odin. Uncheck "auto reboot". Unplug your device and boot to CWM, mount /system, then flash the SU zip (I would wipe cache and dalvik just to be safe).
Your device will boot and be rooted, however the CWM recovery will be overwritten. Get root explorer and search for "install-recovery.sh" (in /system/etc) Change permissions, delete, rename, or otherwise maim the script.
Finally, reflash CWM in Odin. Your device will boot and be rooted, with CWM Recovery, with in the stock FP5 ROM. Feel free to debloat to your pleasing.
You want a video tutorial? You're hard to please.
http://youtu.be/DXSmONvpkSQ
the introduction is VERY off sync. Please don't turn the volume up and scare the crap out of yourself. Sorry, I can't make it available on mobile, something about copyright infringement.
I'll be making an Odin next week, since a user requested it. Just have to wait until I get back from vacation... EDIT: Odins are already available. None from me.

Thank you sir, can't wait to try it on my charge when it comes back from samsung...unless they send me back a nexus

has anyone tried it yet? I'm assuming it will work on tweaked 2.x?
I tried to flash it via CWM (before realizing that I needed to rename it to "update.zip"), but got "installation aborted". I did revert back to RFS first though.... I guess I'll try it again...

You most likely have to be full stock to use it.

You have to be 100% stock FP1 stock recovery

OK, so first off thanks kvswim for getting this out there so fast
Secondly, I'm out and about for a wee bit, but once I'm back at my computer (mid next week) I'll get to work. I'm not sure how long it'll take, but I always assume it'll take a while.
I would also like to put out a request. The last update I did I went through and updated every theme in tweaktools along the way. That took a LONG time, so I was wondering if there were any interested in assisting the theme update process. This will obviously not be relevant until I have the base all finished up, but if you feel you have some of the necessary know-how and are interested feel free to PM me. Most of the themes were made by folks that no longer have the device, which is why I updated everything last time. If I get a few takers I'll make a thread to keep things all organized as far as who is doing what, that way proper credit can be given to those that lend a hand.
Also, no worries if there is no interest/time to help. I have no issue doing it, it'll just take a bit longer.
Carry on.

I can probably make an Odin of this next week if anyone wants it.
Also dwith, I can't help you at all with the themes, I would need to walk through it at least once first. Never taken apart a theme.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using xda premium

Does this include improved radios? Will there be new radios we could flash before Tweaked gets updated?

Yes, there are radio updates in this. However I can't pull radios only until next week, and even then I'll need someone to help me.

Is there a new kernel with FP5 & will you update your own kernel fork with it? I found out that http://opensource.samsung.com has FP5 as SCH-I510-VZW_GB_Opensource_Update2.zip available.

I've returned to stock and then taken the OTA and can't seem to keep my root or cwm recovery. sooo im going to have to edit my build prop until there is a root fix for this.

There's a certain file that checks if your recovery "needs" to be overwritten by stock, and all you need to do is change permissions on that file. For the life of me I can't remember what it is though.
I would imagine that would help you with your root too.

In /system/etc/

Deodexed [/app] [/framework] for Stock phone

Nothing has been stripped out or changed, this is completely stock. To be clear, it is NOT a full ROM and will replace your /system/app and /system/framework folders completely. If you have added anything to these directories it will be removed. I added Superuser to system/app the only app i couldnt get Deodexed is "MCDownloadManager.apk" so its still in there with the .odex file for it.
As always, you should perform a nandroid backup before applying the patch.
First boot will be alittle long
PhotonQ stock Deodexd
PhotonQ stock Odexd

I did at first then decided to remove them just leave it Stock.

Only thing I've noticed, is the phone is a little warmer. Don't know if de-odexing has anything to do with that. Battery maybe draining a little quicker to, that may be because of the higher temps. Anyone else?

Once I actually get to take my q home I have every intention of building 2 roms. One to fix how UGLY the UI is. The other is porting GamerMod over.

Nothing has been stripped out or changed, this is completely stock. To be clear, it is NOT a full ROM and will replace your /system/app and /system/framework folders completely. If you have added anything to these directories it will be removed. I added Superuser to system/app the only app i couldnt get Deodexed is "MCDownloadManager.apk" so its still in there with the .odex file for it.
As always, you should perform a nandroid backup before applying the patch.
First boot will be alittle long

Noob question, and I apologize in advance: How do I install this on my phone? Through CWM? Do I need to install both deodex and odex, or is the odex for recovery purposes only?

Install thru any recovery, CWM or TWRP.
odex is for users who want to return to stock, yes. Don't install it unless you want to undo the deodex .zip install

i just used the latest dsixda kitchen to deodex the app and framework from lickarock's system dump and it deodexed everything with no problems...
thread here:

i don't use sprint, but if i did this would be my current device of choice

The Photon Q isn't mentioned as a compatible device on the kitchen so be careful.

dont quote me on it but i've read others say its because it has to write the cache again each time a app starts up for first time but i have no idea. I've been on phone quite abit today and sent off a few 2-3 meg email quotes still 65%

When I read this a few weeks ago it really made me start to think. Since I DeOdexed and soft key/toggle modded/ flashed deodexed system UI, I get reboots every time something new happens. For instance, I open facebook and it freezes then reboots. After that, facebook never causes reboot again. I open gallery to look at pics and freezes and reboots, but only the once. This happens with almost every first launch of an app after I flash the DeOdexed updated system! Any ideas on why this happens or how I can access a bug report or something like that? Any suggesttions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance. :]
EDIT: Nevermind it is still rebooting whenever it feels like it. Woke up in the middle of the night becuase I rolled over on my phone and it was super hot. When I looked at it it was stuck trying to boot.

Might want to try reflashing the deodexed framework. Did you nandroid before flashing the deodexed framework the first time?

Working custom kernel(s) for Motorola Updated system?

Hi all.
I wanted to thank all of the devs and modders on this device forum for all your hard work and feedback.
I have the unlocked/software updated/rooted/deodexed system, now I am wondering if your custom kernels will be compatible with the
system update? I tried the AdrenalineInjector sans Fugo option, ummmm.....nope. Didn't like that at ALL lol.
Let's hear it for Nandroids.
I have, well, more than my share of Nandroids and working TWRP recovery, so I am confident to the point of reckless with experimental flashes/mods. I have just tweaked out my DeOdexed system with the power boot menu, and just finished customizing my launcher, homescreen, apps, etc.
That being said, I am doing yet one more Nandroid of this one and trying both aaarrrggghhhs kernel (I apologize for the misspell) and shabby's p's and q's kernel.
I will post an update of either "woohoo!!" or "nnnyohhhhhh..."
Keep the mods coming, I am ready to try them all!

You didn't like the adrenaline injector? I just flashed that and I really don't see any negative effects so far.
What didn't you like about it?

None that work completely. You can flash arrrghhh's kernel if you'd like. You can overclock up to 1.89 GHz and underclock down to 96 MHz ... but it will break your wifi until the kernel gets updated. I'm not sure how long that will take though. Other than that, everything else works perfectly fine on it. Other than that, I believe a few options are in the works, but nothing's been finaled yet.

It wasn't that I didn't like Adrenaline, it's that it wouldn't boot lol. I don't think I did a proper clean before installing, plus my question is since my system is already deodexed, would it do more harm than good?
As far as the kernel goes, I both am not put out yet slightly perturbed by the wifi issue. Whenever a custom ROM does come our way, kernel devs will have to be leery of that little bug...could delay a port to our system a bit. I don't really OC for any reason, but many users do and will want a working kernel. MY desire for a kernel is one that is ready for wifi tethering for root users....Net-something lol i forgot the term.

The only reason the wifi won't work on the update with the old kernels is because of the changes the update made. Any ports should have that issue resolved prior to release, and once stable depending on what gets updated I doubt we'll run into kernel/wifi issues although I cannot guarantee that. I know the current OTA made changes to the modem drivers which I'm sure is part of the reason the kernels are incompatable.
I know when I was running the OTA and broke my wifi and tried restoring the stock boot.img (with original oem kernel) it wouldn't even boot the updated system. They're almost like two completely different softwares with the same UI lol.

How do we get new updated stock boot and recovery images? I rely on restoring pre-update Nandroids for whatever flub I may have yet to pull off lol. Anything I can do to help.

Did you replace the update binary?

Sorry for the laziness on my replies. All I did was cache/dalvik wipe and success.
However I do need some help, I am uploading to Dropbox my non-rooted system and boot images. How do I share the links to my DP URL?
Also, where do I locate the stock recovery? Wouldn't the recovery be the same, because it wasn't a total ROM/system revamp? if that is the case then shabby has posted links for stock system and boot.

Oh btw the files are for the 77.1.80 system update and NO root, and completely bare and odexed.

Seeing as its been a while since I have had to do anything manually (so spoiled these days!)
I know I can use fastboot to push the img for the recovery, but how do I go about getting the system/boot flashed over?
Thanks!
EDIT: TBQH, never had to deal with .win files...

You need the TWRP recovery installed. If you've never used it before, you'll need to make a backup in order to generate the correct folders necessary. The directory will be either on your memory card (/external1) or internal memory (/sdcard). The folder path will be TWRP/BACKUPS/**your**phone's**serial**number**/
Inside that folder, create a folder and name it "stock backup" or whatever you want to name it. Then put the *.win and the *.md5 files in there. Put the stock recover in whatever folder you have your adb installed.
Reboot to recovery.
Restore the boot and system partitions from this backup (will show as "stock backup" or whatever you named it)
Once the restore is complete, back out to the main menu ... go to reboot -> choose bootloader
Flash your stock recovery ( fastboot flash recovery **whatever you named your recovery file**.img )
I typically flash this twice one right after the other just in case​
Reboot your system ( fastboot reboot )
From there you should be all set.

Thanks for the files Drake!
However, I must be missing something because I flashed that system file and when I go to about phone it shows 7.7.1Q 8/3/12 not 7.7.80.
I'm pretty sure I flashed it right because I lost root and got back a bunch of the stupid Sprint stuff that I had removed and got your spiffy boot logo. I'm thinking about doing the OTA update from this baseline with stock recovery and then reinstalling twrp and re-running root.
*edit*
And that just put me back to infinite reboots again. I'm going to delete the stupid update from cache again and cut my losses for now, I've been up 22 hours so perhaps a fresh look tomorrow will help.

Not sure about the update not being there...don't know if that is system-specific or not all I know is that I made that back-up after the update was installed. Please leave any other feedback thank u for the reply. I may try and post a new system file.!

Were u looking at the Build # or SW Version in "settings/about phone"?
The only thing simple is the belief in simplicity.

Also u cannot install Any OTA updates with ANY custom recovery on this phone. Stock recovery is necessary that's why I posted the image.

I'm having/had the same exact results.
Just got the phone today, rooted it, installed CWM, then decided to do the update not realizing the issue that would cause. Of course it failed in CWM and then I got into a reboot loop.
Flashed TWRP, restored the files listed here, got me back to a bootable ROM. Then, downloaded the update, told it to apply, shuts down,...bam,...boot loop. :silly:
All I want to do is get back to a completely stock (unlocked bootloader is fine), so I can update to 7.7.80, then mod & tweak from there.
This phone is so dang frustrating after coming from an Epic which was pretty brainless to flash. This Photon is kicking my butt..

Finally got past it, not sure how...then I fubar'd it again by trying to do the 1% & toggle mods. Ugh...so frustrating..

Just putting this out there, may not be true for all phones, but with my Q I got a lot of boot loops restoring backups from my external sd card, the ones I restored from internal storage worked okay. Obviously it could be corruption with the backups/sd card as well. With the toggles make sure you flash the toggles for the updated systemui and framework files and not the stock system files if you have taken the ota update. In other words make sure you match the version of the mods to your current software version. I found this phone very frustrating from a modder's perspective at first, I have really come to love the qwerty and hardware over time... the Snap Dragon s4 is fast!
