I think CWM is not working well with 4.2.1. I would try TWRP as custom recovery, but be very (as in VERY) sure to install the TWRP version meant for your bootloader. In General section you can find a very good how-to written by pjc21, which also list which bootloader and TWRP versions match. The guide is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195883
Use that and don't forget to thank pjc21.

[Q] Updating to kitkat

I tried updating android 4.4.2 KitKat based CM11 ROM but get stuck at the boot logo after the hole updating process, try to wipe the phone after installation multiple times, but nothing work.
I followed the next steps: http://true-android.blogspot.com.ar/2013/12/update-at-galaxy-s2-skyrocket-sgh-i727_17.html
But, in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2562055&nocache=1
i read that i need CWM version 6.0.4.4, but the rom manager only update til 6.0.4.3
That would be the problem??? How can i update the cwn?
I just learn about roms, and custom android so everything its really hard to understand by my own (just new... so new that i used to had for 2 years my phone with factory OS til yesterday
Thanks in advance

Stickies are posts that are generally considered extremely useful so they get "stuck" at the top of the list in the forums, so they are seen first and can resolve peoples questions without much looking. Like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785999 . From personal experience I'd recommend using PhilZ touch recovery. It's done the trick for me so far. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557024

Thanx Cyndar, tried with philz touch, but the same.. still loops... and cant find anything in the stickies. I think to just stay with 4.3
so... who needs google now?
Thanx again

imo stay with stock or whatever you got working until you read some more, youre a brick waiting to happen or a newb with questions that have been repeatedly answered.

Google now is in 4.3. Stop messing with your phone until you know what you're doing.

If you are trying the nightly ROMs, they have a known issue loading for the past few releases. Go back and find a Jan20-something nightly and give that a shot. Again...there are known boot loop issues with the nightly ROMs starting Feb1.

1. Download UCMC1 modem and install it
2. Go into CWM Philz thread and use Odin to install it
3. Flash your rom.
I did it with AOSB (amazing work) but had problems with PA GAPPS flashing, so i took the gapps zip from the Avatar rom and it's been working extremely nicely. As an added touch by suggestion from another user, I flashed the Uber Kernal on top of it after.
But like the others said, seriously, slow down and read the instructions rather than jumping around and accidentally screwing something up

[Q] Need help rooting, unlocking BL and flashing - new R HD owner!

Hello, chaps! So, I've just got a XT925 and, basically, what I want is to get to CM11. I'm used to CM features and I'm sure this little beast runs even better on KK than it does on stock JB
I was looking for guides and stickies to read through, but there isn't much, really... Why is that? I need help rooting, unlocking the bootloader, flashing recovery and the ROM itself, but I'm far from a complete noob and the guides are enough for me, but I can't find them Could anyone point me in the right direction?
Also, I've got a couple questions about CM11 I'm planning to run the 3.0 kernel CM11 version until KK OTA shows up and I'll see where to go from there. How good is the CM11 on RAZR HD? Is there a list of known bugs? And does the HDMI port work? I find it to be a cool feature, although I don't use it often... Would be nice if it works on CM11, too. And the camera, how's it on CM11? I love the 60fps video recordings and hope that photo quality is at least the same, because it really isn't too great on stock JB :/ Using 3rd party camera apps helps to a degree...
Any help, info and answers would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance!
Cheers

Completely missed it... A great post, love it! Question about bootloader unlocking, though - there's the motocalypse way and there's the official way? Or is the official method not available anymore? Any reason why one is better than the other?
And the questions about CM11 remain :

The official BL unlock is still available as far as I know, but its not available for all phones. You basically have to try it to know if it will work.
I think the official way is reversible, it has always been said motopocalypse is not. Those facts may be wrong though. There was discussion about it in one of the threads but I don't recall exactly what was stated. If you don't care about ever locking it back, it wouldn't be relevant then.
About cm, I still have my rmhd but haven't used it other than for testing since last year. So I can't provide any current help on that, sorry.

Just go to the Motorola web site and look for the unlocking program and attempt it there. Here is the link: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b
You'll have to either sign in with your Google+ ID or register an account with Motorola. It's free and then you can attempt to unlock your phone.
The XT925's are always unlockable since they are not in the US. It's Verizon that won't allow it and the XT926s are US phones.

Okay, guys, I've ran into some problems :/
Current status: bootloader loads fine, CWM (6.0.4.4, touch version) loads fine, but the system wouldn't boot after making a backup. I've tried flashing CM11 (cm-11-20140710-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960-epinter.zip which is supposedly with the 3.0 kernel) and it still will not boot. (I've wiped /system /data and /cache before flashing) All it does is sit at the "Warning bootloader unlocked" screen and it doesn't even become warm...
What I've done: basically, followed all the steps from the thread @bweN diorD posted. Rooted with MotoChopper, unlocked bl with MotoPocalypse and flashed CWM via adb. That was all fine. Then I noticed that CWM keeps disappearing, so I said yes when it asked me if I want it to remove that script from the stock ROM . It also asked "Fix root?" at the same time to which I said yes... Since then the system will not boot. Does anyone know what's gone wrong and what can I do to fix it? Is RSD the only way now?
@bweN diorD @iBolski and everybody else... pretty please :/
*EDIT* Got my stock firmware and flashed it via RSD-lite. Had to remove that check in the xml, but that was it, it has come back to life
Now what puzzles me... Why did the system die after saying yes to "remove the recovery remover script" and "fix root"? And why was CM11 dead on boot, too? Any ideas? :/
*EDIT #2* Nevermind, I'm on CM11 now Rooted again, the bl was still unlocked, installed latest PhilZ recovery and flashed CM11 straight up without even booting stock ROM after installing recovery. All is well! CM11 is so smooth on the R HD that I came a little bit. I loved my petite DEFY+ but this is freaking awesome!

glad you got it worked out

Drivers issue
Guys, I've now got a freaking drivers issue I cannot resolve... Need assistance
I am currently on CM11, on the jbbl. Last time I flashed an sbf was at the time of my previous post in this thread, so 5 months ago. Since then, I have changed my system drive (to an SSD, yay!) and lost the drivers set-up. Back then I was on Win7 x64, now I'm on Win8.1 x64.
At the moment, I cannot get ADB to work (it lists my device, but says it's offline) and cannot get RSD Lite (it's v6.1.6) to detect the phone when in fastboot. I'm attaching a screenshot of device manager's current status. The mot composite adb interface driver is fine, but the two in other devices remain question marks.
Motorola Device Manager (2.4.5) just looks for updates for my device and then quits after finding none. No matter if the phone is connected or not. Not sure if it's incompatible with win8.1 or just normal behaviour since my phone's not on the stock rom.
Does anyone know the right steps for setting up ADB and Fastboot drivers on win8.1 for our device? MTP works fine, no problems there.
*EDIT* Tried using [TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer and ADB connects now, but RSD lite still doesn't detect the phone in fastboot. The device manager list looks the same... I hate driver issues >_< And just to be clear, RSD lite does not show anything while the phone is connect as MTP with debugging enabled, too.
*EDIT 2* All fine now. Just uninstalled everything and started from scratch. Drivers that come with Moto Manager are the only requirement.

GT-N8000 downgrade and no update.

I've been using Gnabo v_7 version for quite a long time, and a very simple and beautiful day when I woke up my Samsung GT-N8000 was stuck on bootscreen. I wasn't able to do much so I got this "Brazil stock rom" that I found in a website, and it flashed all right, except for the detail that there is something at the screen that I haven't got a bloody clue how to remove. hahaha
And still, whenever I try to install another room, I got stuck at bootlogo and so on. I'm kinda lost here, mind a little help?
I traveled around the forum but well, I'm a little dumb so I couldn't find any proper information about, how to solve this. I would like to know if there is a way to remove this thing from the main screen, and post here the image for you guys to see it please.
I tried to post the image here to make it easier understanding, but since I got this login recently I can't =\
Thanks

Install custom recovery (if you haven't already. If you already have it installed, make sure to update to latest version), root device, wipe everything and flash custom ROM.

So far I've tried the rom = N8000XXUDNE4 [still bootloop], then another 4.1 android version of other German rom XXALGA and nothing. Downloaded 3 Brazilian versions, and nothing. [I am from Brazil]. The only one that worked flashing using Odin was one called "KIES_HOME_N8000UBALGA_N8000ZTOALG3_N8000UBLG5.tar". And still, not recognizing my cellphone chip, and with some big watermark at the middle of the screen showing some information about the ROM and the version is 4.0. Even though this one worked fine, I was able to root and when I tried to flash another room, BANG! Bootloop again! =\
I was looking at the forum topics and I read some about ADB or something like that can fix this and "break" this bootloop making the device work normally again with the roms. But i haven't got a clue how to use it. Please help me! =\

You can use ADB to push/pull files to Android. I don't know if you can use it to fix bootloop. With it, you can also reboot to recovery and sideload zip

Well, after 2 days of research and paying attention on things here, I found out that my problem is "/EFS error". Meaning to use ADB to recover or fix it? But I don't know how to use this. I've downloaded 3GB of it but I was lost about using, and uninstalled. Is is there any short or better version and some good tutorial about using to retrieve my EFS so I can install another roms? I'm using original stock rom now, Brazilian android 4.0 and that's the only only the device is working fine but of course missing things as my cellphone card and the yellow message at the top of the screen. Please guide me through ADB.
P.s Is there a way to create /efs or something like so the device work properly? Cause I've deleted when I installed some rom, and I have no backup here. =\
Thanks!

TF300T Questions

I have a TF300T with the latest firmware installed - JOP40D.US_epad-10.6.1.27.5-20130902. I suffer from the extreme slowdown that I have researched endlessly. I found answers that have said to root and install a custom ROM. I have already unlocked the device using Asus V8 Unlock tool. I get the "Device is unlocked" at boot.
My questions are:
What is the best custom recovery for this tablet?
What rom should I use / do people like the most?
I have found the KatKiss ROM Nougat 7.1. I have also found this ROM located here http://www.teamandroid.com/2015/05/12/install-android-511-cm121-asus-transformer-pad-tf300t-nightly-lollipop-rom/ which from my understanding will give OTA updates.
The process seems complex. I am not a layman, but some of the steps I have found for the process are confusing; like fastboot and adp (or something). I am still looking through forum posts to help me understand the processes involved. The biggest problem I have is finding a custom recovery and custom ROM.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you may be able to give. (I'm still searching on my own as well lol.)

Ok, I got twrp installed, so that question is answered. Now I guess the only thing else about my questions is what ROM should I use? I wish to increase the performance of the device without loosing any functionality. I see the KatKiss ROM I posted doesn't allow recording of video.

In order to avoid any issues you must be sure to have the genuine Kang TWRP 2.8.7.2 installed from here. There is also md5 available. (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347781183)
Regarding your second question you are right KatKiss - Nougatella #014 is still in development. Bluetoth and video recording are missing right now. But it's only a question of time.
In my opinion KatKiss - KatshMallow #029 is the mostly perfected rom. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/transformer-tf300t/development/rom-t3237867).
So I would recommend to you to take this one firstly. Please pay attention carefully on the install instruction in post #1. The first install should be a clean one!
Good luck!
