Firon was nice enough to make sweet sweet magic. if im right, this will let you update to DI18 if you are on a custom rom/kernel and it will "do the deed" for you.
Firon said:
Here's a signed update that will not trash your recovery, kernel, or root. You do not need a stock kernel for this update.
It will restore only the required stock files/apps and update your modem, so as long as you're on DI07, it should successfully update.
I tested it already on my own phone, worked great.
This way you don't need to restore a bunch of random files to update.

Only use the attached .zip if you are fully stock!
so i pulled a copy of the DI07 to DI18 update off of my cache partition. anybody want it to mess with?
*edit*
no changes have been made to it. ill let someone else which more adept skills do what they do best. I simply just got the notification, grabbed it from cache and threw it up here.
*edit2*
gotta be 100% stock (minus clockwork)
simple fix? Flash This before you flash the update.
Would it install on its own? If so throw it up here.

Thanks. Installed just fine.
In regards to the upload speed fix alone (not tested much else yet):
DL UL
65 101
294 241
63 162
95 197
Well...those numbers suck but it does prove that the UL is no longer stopping below 170 UL (my highest ever). Will test later, too.
I went outside and ran it a couple more times and it's looking good.
DL 474, 959 UL 322, 241
Thanks, installed fine for me. Upload is still ify.

It installed fine for me. Still doesn't seem to be working right.
Do i have to install all my stuff again to install this? And is this the real update?
First off this is my first android phone and this is one heckuva community ! Still hadn't gotten any OTA update so I installed with this one. Installed perfectly with clockworkmod, speedtested on two different servers and it seems to have fixed the problem! Sending that screenshot to my e-mail was also much less painful Thanks newkidd!

Yeah ull need to have the stock apps and odex files or wait for someone to take this and make ita zip file we can just flash through clocworkmod. I tried it and it aborted after it didn't find some odex file ...

Does this effect root or cwm? I'm unrooted at the moment because i only use root to remove apps, which would have pointless because i wanted this.
Guys, please report battery life with this update in the next few days. I know DI07 greatly reduced it (due to that DRM service it seems), but I'm hoping this one is better.

My root was kept through the update. I was running on stock with just joey's root fix and it is still rooted after the update.
I haven't rebooted, but I suspect I may have to reinstall recovery, though, because when I looked in the update.zip, they had the recovery-install in there again. Not confirmed, though.
The update came in OTA for me about 10 minutes ago. I went ahead and applied it, and with about 5-10% left on the status bar at the bottom (during the Updating modem phase) it seems to have hung. Most of the 10 minutes has been stuck in that spot. I'm afraid to pull the battery and brick it, but on the flip side it's doing me no good if it's just sitting here like this permanently, either. Anyone else see anything similar?
And I am currently running completely stock and NOT rooted, so I should be the perfect target candidate for the update. Haven't had the time or need yet to make those changes.
Worked beautifully. Make sure you flash back to stock DI07. This will delete your clockwork recovery, but not your root script.
It works
Installed using stock recovery (i.e. signature verification works).
I used noobnl's zip dump of DI07 to restore files I had removed/replaced.
I applied this update without removing root and had root after updating. (Verified with titanium as well as terminal emulator by running commands $su, # remount rw /system) note that I had replaced the oneclick busybox with titanium's download to keep it happy.
Note: I had rooted at DI07 since I used ODIN at this point in the past, so I was using a newer version of the one-click root.
3G speed test results:
Ping (ms)/Down (kbps)/Up (kbps)/Location
207/261/541/At my cubicle (top floor, but 500ft away from the nearest exterior wall/window)
325/307/547/In a breezeway (also top floor, exterior windows on both sides)
EDIT:
172/675/699/Courtyard ~100 feet from nearest building under a tree.
Still looking like upload is faster than download in my area... but it's definitely fixed.
Also: here's my tethered results (from my cube)
It doesn't affect root - I was rooted before and I still am. First thing I did once the update installed was remove junk apps after having to put them back for the update to work.
Recovery seems to be gone, though. I installed it through clockwork but I just tried booting into recovery again and it brought me to the stock recovery. So it seems you'll have to reinstall clockwork if you apply the update.
Speed test results are atrocious, but that's the norm in the middle of the day near my office. This morning I had 725/146, but I've run three tests since then, all AFTER applying the DI18 update:
82/10
283/16
221/29
Yes, 82/10. You read that right. That is what 3G is like where I am sitting right now. But I have 4G here so it doesn't matter. And 3G seems to be a little better in other places. I will test again in a different area and see if this improves uploads.
I take it from all of these positive responses that nobody else experienced it hanging near the end of the flash process?
Anyone with experience have any recommendations on what I do?
I just tried to flash this using clockwork, didn't like that I have the Galaxy MobileAP installed and not the Sprint one and aborted. Will have to wait until somebody else releases a version that will work anyways.

Pull the battery and flash to stock using odin would be one option.

EDIT: see Firon's post on page 6 (#53) it will restore any modifications you've made (including MobileAP) as long as you have a stock (odexed) DI07 ROM, it won't even mess up recovery or kernel!

I'm new to rooting and just rooted my Droid 2 Global and have no idea what to do next. Where do I find roms? What are the best ones? And how can I get rid of some of this junk moto has on here?

I'm sorta new to this too. I rooted with Z4Root. I'd recommend going to the market and downloading Root Uninstaller. That helped me get rid of all the stupid crap verizon put on there, like Blockbuster, Kindle, CityID, etc.
Another thing you could do is look up "root" in the market. It will show you all the apps that require root access.
Becareful though, just like your home computer, uninstalling some software may have unintended consequences. Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot. Has anything you uninstalled caused you problems?
Not yet. But I only uninstalled the factory installed extra stuff. I noticed a slight pickup in speed and battery life (although it could just all be in my head... LOL). Let me know if you do anything else cool. Im still trying to build up enough balls to actually start flashing roms.

This is a bad idea, don't do it.
When you delete the bloatware that comes on the phone, you make your phone unable to receive OTA updates from Verizon. This includes any future updates to Android version 2.3 (Gingerbread). The updates run as a patch, they check for all of the system data to be present. This includes pre-installed apps like blockbuster, amazon, etc. If ALL of the system data isn't present, the patch can't run.
Instead, you should use Titanium Backup to freeze these programs. It does the same thing, but instead of removing the files, it changes their extension, so that they can't run. It has the same effect, but when you want an update, you just unfreeze your programs, update, and then refreeze them. It also lets you make backups of your apps and app data.
If you don't want to pay for TiBu, you can always manually change all the filenames from cityID.apk to cityID.bak, etc etc. This does the same thing, for free, but is more involved and less beginner friendly.
Do what ever you want......if you want to go back to stock to get offical ota updates just search for the sbf file and your all good. Just know what your doing before you do it. If you delete bloatware it will effect ota updates. But flash the sbf with rsd lite and you'll be fine
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using XDA App
You could do that, yes. But freezing bloatware is more efficient. Flashing an SBF is more time intensive, and has a higher chance (not high, mind you, but highER) of not working correctly. Also, TiBU has the added benefit of being a backup utility that's easy to use and very functional and stable.
Ok.

Well I guess that shows how much of a dummy I am with this stuff. I ended up reinstalling the stuff I removed from the market and unrooting because I had to send the phone back. It had a really weird charging issue that was present when I bought it. Im on the new one now. (Rooted to try and fix the charging issue. It didnt work). I haven't rooted the new phone yet. Im reading through all the forums to try and gain a little better understanding of how to do this stuff without wrecking my phone or missing out on updates. Thanks for all the good info! I wont be screwing around with bloatware so soon this time.
Definitly do not go the uninstall route on the Blur stuff.
Freezing is better!
As for ROMs there is only one ROM that I know of and it is Fission.
Get the ROM manager here at XDA and flashing it is a snap. It even has the Stock Droid in the manager so you can easily go back to stock when needed.
The stock rom in the rom manger still has root, busybox and is deodexed. If sent back with these programs on it will void your warranty. So if you ever need to send back sbf 1st to be safe. The .sbf takes like 15 minutes. Maybe two minutes more then flashing a ROM. So I really don't get how flashing a .sbf is difficult. And it actually is the safest due to the locked bootlader and the drivers usually never fail if running Windows 32 bit.
so i'm assuming that all of the other "popular" ROM's (liberty, rubix, apex, etc.) that say they are for the DX and D2 wont work on the D2G? I've installed many ROM's on my D2G and all of them get stuck on airplane mode and wont unlock. I end up having to restore and revert back to stock...
Yep, pretty lame that all these devs havent taken numerous peoples' offers to test out d2g ports of the d2 roms. i mean i have no idea how to port it myself but theres people saying "if you try it, ill test it" and still no devs take anyone up on the offer.
So does ne one think that we are going to get ne roms ported over to us from the dx or the d2 cuz I was lookin forward to flashing liberty to my D2G so can some1 pm if they got ne idea or if they kno when we can expect a new rom

D2G Rooting
Hey Guys- I just rooted and installed Fission ROM on my D2G- WHEW!! My wife (the IT pro) and I rooted this past Sunday evening. We used Z4ROOT- this part was fairly easy. Then we spent the next 6 hours- with no luck whatsoever- trying to install a custom ROM. We finally found out that there aren't many out for the D2G just yet.
We finally found Fission ROM, but could not get it installed. You must have a bootstrap program to install the rom. I found this out by accident. Finally installed Fission on Tuesday night. Only used for a few hours, but so far so good.
BTW- there are several bloatware freezers on the market. I had read not to remove it, so I froze it. App Freezer for Root seems to be working fine.
Be careful, and good luck!

There are instructions with everything you need to know (including koush's bootstrap) provided by team defuse on their website. The entire process shouldn't take more than 30 minutes tops.
And you can delete anything you want now that there is the D2 global SBF for recovery. Just make sure you know how to use it before things go awry so you don't panic and flood the forums with questions that have already been answered.

how do you revert back to stock. yes i made a backup.
How do you get the OTA Update? I mean, you have to be on Verizon to get it, right? What if you unlocked the phone and use it outside the US with a different sim card from some other carrier? Can you still get the update? Please help.
And, if somehow I can find this precious update, then if I change my rom to Fission, I won't get updates anymore, right? Then what is the point of getting new roms? I'll have to be checking for newer roms with newer updates from Verizon all the time? Is this the idea?
Thank you,

Yes, you can get the update, no matter you are not on Verizon network. But update will not be 'pushed' to you, you have to go to system/about phone/system updates. Phone will check for update and let you know if one is available. If you are already running 2.4.330, you will get prompt no update is available. If you are on 2.4.29 - you must get the prompt update is available and will be downloaded.
Update will work only if you are using stock firmware (for me it worked fine no matter I had rooted the phone, you must make sure there are no 'frozen' apps before update is applied, or it will fail to install). On Fission, it will not show/work. Many users, including myself, have reported update does not seem to be adding anything benneficial to users on GSM/UMTS networks. On some networks (in Canada and Australia so far) update causes the phone to become unreliable when it comes to keeping connection to the cellular network. Another user (in Germany) reports no problems using the updated firmware. I suspect this is related to frequencies - in Canada and Australia we use bands that overlap with US bands which as we all know have some software restrictions imposed by the phone. In Europe (Germany, Greece) you guys use 2100Mhz.
Again - update addresses some CDMA issues, I find absolutely no different with/without the update in terms of battery life or call quality. (I am on Rogers Canada - GSM/HSPA 850/1900.)
Im sure its been asked before.. but how come it wont play? Do i need a new flash update? Says it doesnt support my phone or some crap
I'm thinking the best place to ask that question would be in the ROM thread.
I'm using MikFroyo 4.4 and it was working fine. The initial fix was to the FlashPlayer.apk. There has been a recent update to FlashPlayer on the market, if you downloaded that update, that would probably cause it to not work anymore. Try uninstalling the update (if its even installed).
it was actually working just fine with the flash in 4.4 but they have since put out 1-2 new updates to Flash since then, and it broke my Hulu also. Uninstalling the updates made it work again!
Hulu blocks mobile devices. People have been getting around this by tricking the site into thinking it's a windows device by hex editing the .so file. I haven't been able to locate the most recent edited version of Flash but the previous version has been posted on XDA.
I just flashed MikFroyo today and the Hulu works on mine.... I havent updated the Flash that I know of..

Easiest way to watch Hulu is to use the app that Mik included with the rom. After you choose video you want to view, make sure you click the hourglass when the window appears.
If you are trying to use your browser to use hulu.com, you need to change your browser settings to NOT view as a mobile website, and it should work fine as well!
Also, I am pretty sure if you update Flash from the Market you will lose the hulu mod.
Hope this helps!
Hi everyone.
I rooted my Note Pro 12.2 (wifi) a while back and installed a basic rooted ROM, not CW12.
I honestly don't remember which ROM I flashed. I believe it was just a stock de-bloated ROM, and if it's the one I think it is, in the thread it says that ROM was faulty and dev has stopped for it. I see the kernel version and build in the "about" section under settings but I'm not sure if that number would tell me which ROM it is, or just the ROM and kernal that it was built on top of.
I basically wanted a stock style ROM with the ability to change things as I wanted. I'm still noticing a TON of lag. Scrolling on pages, loading apps, screen lag between touch and actual input of characters when using on screen keyboard, etc etc. I've frozen a bunch of bloatware and other things and it helped a little, but it's still pretty bad.
Audio latency with recording and MIDI apps is very bad, but I know that's improved with lollipop.
Aside from lag, it seems that GPS won't lock on no matter how long Iet it look for a signal (hard to tell if it's the ROM, but my Note 4 has found GPS very easily). Also, my Note 4 (unrooted and stock at this point) is waaaaay smoother and faster than this tablet. I realize we're talking about lollipop vs kitkat, and that the Note 4 version I have is the snapdragon one. But it still seems like performance should be better on this tablet.
So I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a good ROM for me to flash until lollipop comes out for the wifi version of this tablet. I want the stock multi-window functions (4 at a time plus floating windows), so CW12 is not an option. I want to use some of the Samsung apps like s note and Hancom office. I use the s-pen from time to time with the pen apps like write-on-screen.
The "rooted" features I want to access are turning off the camera sound (adding the switch to the settings menu in the camera app, not just replacing the sound file with a dummy file) Changing PPI of apps (xposed module) and full access read/write on micro SD cards and really important is the ability to add any app to the multi-window apps list and force orientation. I've been able to do all this with xposed modules.
Other than that, stock would be fine if it wasn't so laggy. The main reason I want to try another ROM is the lag. On screen keyboard has a lot of lag, but even my Logitech k810 bluetooth keyboard is laggy.
I'm also currently travelling and don't have a PC with me. So I'm hoping I can flash the ROM without ODIN, or perhaps I can use one of the ODIN-for-android type things on my Note 4 to flash a ROM to the Note Pro 12.2. Also I have the stock recovey, and would like suggestions on which recovery to use instead. Again, no computer with me to flash a new recovery. Ido have an OTG cable and USB flash drive so Ican back up my files before flashing the new ROM, as well as a miscro SD card.
Any recommendations for a smooth, fast ROM? Any tips on flashing it without a PC? I know I can copy the ZIP to the tablet and flash it from recovery...but it is the stock recovery...is this going to be sufficient?
THANKS!
The hyperdrive rom by sbreen (in the dev section) works great. Isnt there an internet cafe in the vicinity? Ask them for assistance flashing the beast. I love twrp. Good luck!
I tried to find an easy root apk thingy so you dont need a computer, couldnt find anything (but maybe kinguser or something like it will work)
Link to twrp with explanation

Thanks! TWRP is I think what's on my Note II back home. My tablet is rooted already of course. For the Hyperdrive ROM, one thing I'm a little confused about is if I have to FIRST install a stock ROM and THEN flash the custom ROM. I'm a little confused about why exactly but I see that in the forums from time to time. It's recommended for certain ROMs. I don't know if flashing the stock ROM updates some other firmware/hardware driver type stuff that's needed for the new kernal to work or what.
There might be an internet cafe. I'm flying from Vienna to Lithuania today. Trying to explain to them that I want them to download and install ODIN might be tough knowing only English and Spanish haha.
Sorry for the noob question but is clicking the thumbs-up icon what generates "thanks" or do I do that somewhere else?

If its rooted you can install twrp without computer (see my link) use twrp manager fromthe play store for that
You only have to flash the custom rom
(Make sure you backup on an ext sd or something, then delete everything in twrp, install custom rom, restart and done) I also always backup the launcher settings, if you backup the apps with titanium restoring is very easy afterwards)
Lemme know if this works for you!

I'm already having trouble installing TWRP. I can't do it from the app, as my device isn't listed. I downloaded the zip file of the correct version of TWRP and tried to flash it using the stock recovery. But when I boot into recovery mode, it still just goes to the stock recovery. Then I downloaded and installed ROM manager from the play store and it shows TWRP as being installed, but whenever I boot into recovery I just get the stock recovery.
I'm back home now and I guess I'll just try to do all this with ODIN.
Is there any reason I can't just install the custom ROM using the stock recovery? That's what I did last time.
Ok So I got TWRP installed via ODIN then I used it to clean wipe and flash Hyperdrive ROM but gmail app won't even open, just crashes immediately, and it's one of the main apps I need so...probably gonna look for another ROM...or most likely gonna flash the stock ROM, unroot and sell the tablet and get a Dell Venue 11 Pro. Might wait till the end of July though, the supposed release date for lollipop on this device.
Had the same problem. Install hyperdrive without the gmail app option. Afterwards install itmvia the play store.
And if you want lollipop give cyanogen a try. I love it (but its a personal thing).
Ad make sure to read the Venue reviews, they are not very positive.

I wanted to try lollipop because I use it for music, and latency is much better with lollipop. My Note 4 is running lollipop and I get way better performance from MIDI keyboards and guitar amp modelling. I really like the multi window functions on the stock and hyperdrive ROMs though, 4 at once, floating, etc. I'm sure as soon as lollipop is officially out for this device, someone will release a rooted version.
Thanks for the tip on gmail, fortunately I read it before getting too deep and just reflashed without gmail it and then installed the gmail app as you suggested and it does work. There still seems to be a bit of delay when using the on screen keyboard, not as fast as I had hoped. But it's up and running.
I was considering the Dell after trying a bunch of different audio and video editing apps for android and realizing that I just need full photoshop, premiere, and Reaper with all my VST plugins, so I need windows. Perhaps Surface Pro is a better choice but I like the Venue's chassis better, fanless, rounded corners. Also new tablets might be coming out with Windows 10 so another reason to wait...
My laptop is great but it's really big and I like a touch interface for on screen mixers and instruments. So I figured a tablet PC might work best for me. But the problem is GUI scaling. with the Windows legacy apps like Premiere and Photoshop, the buttons and menus don't scale, and on an 11" 1080 display they are quite small.
Just wait for win 10 and while waiting fine tune your 12" beast did you try system tuner pro already? You should be able to get less latency from that.
(And did someone mention "buy a Mac" already?
I am surprised, because after testing dozen ROMs I found stock ROM fastest one. Just root and debloat it.
Not so any lag or problems, but with custom ROMS I had a lot of problems.

I checked out system tuner pro (didn't buy it yet just read the description) What exactly would I adjust to get lower audio latency? Just clock the CPU higher? OR does it have audio-specific settings not mentioned in the description?

WHAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!!? I've been checking sammobile EVERY day for the lost couple weeks waiting for this! OMG OMG I'm hoping I'll be able to use the Samsung Audio stuff with this, their DAW and amplitube and all that...plus I'll get Hancom office back...Thanks for the heads-up. I'm glad I've been using CM12.1 though So I can compare the experience.
Looking forward to the rooted version of stock lollipop making its way to xda as well! Now... to figure out the best way to back up my current installation...
This is a modified version of @jrkruse stock BOK3 deodexed ROM with all(or most) of the stock BS removed.
This BS_free ROM does not have two different versions like his previous build. I left only the Samsung apps needed for UPSM and HD calling to work.
INSTRUCTIONS:
I've included the links needed if you want to use xposed and Viper4Android. If you chose not to use these features, then skip them in the flashing process.
I personally prefer using safestrap when clean flashing a ROM, but you can use flashfire if you must.
1) WIPE EVERYTHING!
2) Flash No_BS ROM
3) Flash Extra toggles
4) Flash No_Bootloader_Rooting_Tools_For_S5_Lollipop_V3.zip
5) Flash xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-arter97-snapdragon.zip
6) Flash Viper Policy
7) Flash Viper4Android
8) Flash BOK3 Firmware without bootloader
9) After first boot, open up Viper4Android and install the driver. Note: Sometimes it takes 2-3 times before the driver will install.
I have confirmed that @jrkruse 5-way reboot with Safestrap works on this ROM!!! If you want to use it, add it to the end of the flashing list. 5Way_Safestrap_Reboot_PM. As a side note, if you use 4-way reboot in Wanam Xposed, then that feature needs to be disabled for 5-way reboot to work.
The ROM should boot in about 8 minutes. The music app will force close everytime the device reboots, but it does work normally.
Forgive my lack of knowing how to make a build thread, since this is my first one, so I'm still learning lol.
NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED.zip
Update: NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED_V2 is now available. The flashing process is the same. I encountered an intermittent bug with SuperSU beta with some apps. I downgraded to the latest stable SuperSU with the latest app. I updated all other apps and got rid of the bright/ugly Verizon boot animation. The music app has not force closed since I started using this version.
Update: NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED_V3.zip is now available. The flashing process is the same. I updated busybox and removed SBrowser. I also implemented the signature verification fix by @jrkruse, along with default animation scales set to 0.5x.
Update: NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED_V4 is now available. The flashing process is the same. I updated all apps, except for YouTube(xposed purposes). I added the missing VPN apk as well. Let me know if there is any other issues with VPN related settings.
Update: NO_BS_BOK3_ROM_DEODEXED_V5 is now available. The flashing process is the same. I updated all apps. I added the headphone app notification, voicenote, and SPrintSpooler. I don't use voicenote or SPrint, so let me know if there are any issues with these apps.
Note: Don't pay attention to the 1- prefix in front of some of the ROM versions. I prefix all my flashables in my ROM folder with a 1-, 2-, 3-, ect, so that I have them all in order when I flash them instead of having to remember the order every time lol. I forgot to remove those prefixes when I uploaded the ROMs.
I am looking forward in seeing how this Rom is doing.

First and last will do just fine.
Works like a charm! Just wish someone could get Quick Glance working. I've seen it work in MOAR, but the 3minit mod that's included is a complete turnoff for me.

Do you mind elaborating on what Quick Glance is? Are you referring to where you wave your hand and it wakes up the display to show notifications?

That's the one.
I've used this in the past and I wasn't a big fan, but I didn't spend a lot of time trying to get it properly configured. I only tried it to see what it did. I personally don't like motion features.

do i need to do a clean install or just flash over @jrkruse work that i am currently using?
[VZW_Stock Based TW Rom][5.0 Lollipop BOK3 Build Deodexed] by @jrkruse ?
I dirty flashed this over his stock BOK3 and it worked, so you should be good.

I actually tried that already. It's honestly not great. Oh well. Maybe if I could figure out a way to strip 3minit...
I fell in love with motion features when someone stole my moto g and I had to pick up a Lumia 640. Great phone, but not an android
I'm on BS_FREE_BOG5_GOOGLE_V2_Deodexed and just updated with @jkruse New Root Tools For S5 Lollipop V6. Already enabled Lollipop Safestrap Recovery again and Flashed Most Current OG5 Firmware_No_Bootloader and current OG5_Kernel. Can I just use that and wipe everything flash this aside from 3Minit Battery without losing Root?

Just to be clear, are you asking if you can run this on BOG5 firmware?

No, I mean using the V6 Root Tools instead of the V3 as indicated in your directions...
Also, I'm hoping that with a new install I will regain ability to work with Accessibility Options in Settings.
Idk if it makes a difference but I have Original GS5 Rooted, never taken OTA, always ONLY used XDA sources for ROM/Firmware/Kernels.

My rooting tools has the newest firmware, I just forgot to change the version number at the end, but it does say no bootloader.
I wish you luck on the accessibility apps. I never use them, so I don't specifically look for them to work.

Ok but all the same, I'm trying to avoid another 300mb DL if I can. As long as it is the same stuff then that's all I need to know.

I Flashed it last night with @jkruse's No Bootloader V6 Tools and it worked just fine. I also, noticed that my Accessibility Settings works now and a couple other things were fixed as well. I did have a hard time Restoring Poweramp Music Player - I had to reinstall from Play Store but otherwise seems to be working great!
