Razr HD Maxx on Verizon.
I am rooted, unlocked bootloader, Team Win recovery, stock OS.
3 times I attempted to install the latest update (9.18.79.en.US). Each time it reboots into Team Win recovery. I then reboot the system and once the desktop loads, it reboots immediately into Team Win recovery. I can never get into the OS anymore because it immediately displays "Powering off" and loads the Team Win recovery screen. So, each of the 3 times I attempted to install, I ended up reverting back to my backup.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to remove Team Win? Is the update not compatible with my current setup? Or, do I need to do it manually? i.e. download the update and install it using Team Win recovery.
Thoughts? Thank you in advance for reading and attempting a resolution. If I end up figuring it out, I'll post an update. :good:
Fix for Reboots
Too Fix Just go on Teamwin Recovery and select wipe Data>Advance Wipe Data> and only wipe cache and dalvik cache..
that should fix y;our reboots..
as for the update.... no sure yet
Your phone has to be stock with all apps in tack to take a ota. So yes you need to be using the stock recovery and preserve and remove root with voodoo.

thanks to both responses.
quick update: i located the downloaded update via /cache. i attempted to install it when TWRP came up. "Failed". I wiped cache/dalvik, and that did not work either. It fixed the boot problem initially, but then it just prompted for the update again and the reboot cycle repeated. except I was in a factory state with my apps. (i.e. i had to go through the initial prompts of setting up my phone.)
So, I will attempt to do the following:

Installing new Razr HD Verizon update
The update must be installed using stock recovery. I did this just today by temp unrooting using voodoo, installing stock recovery using razr hd utility, and then downloading and installing the update, which will boot the phone into the stock recovery to automatically finish the installation after you click install. After the phone reboots, I verified that the update installed, re-rooted using voodoo, and re-installed TWRP using the razr hd utility. After this, all is working well. :good:
I did everything except root recovery with voodoo now I have ota update to 9.18.926 bootloader unlocked but can't get root... Do I have to start over with rsd?

If you still have custom recovery with and unlocked bootloader you should be able to flash the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.41.zip... If you do not have custom recovery install TWRP/CWM so you can install the zip..

This worked perfectly for me coming from 9.16. I'm now running stock 9.18.17.XT926 rooted and unlocked with TWRP reinstalled. No hiccups at all, thanks, woodjc01!
EDIT: I did unfreeze/enable all the bloatware apps I had previously disabled (zappo's, nfl mobile, real racing 2, etc) before installing the OTA update.

My dad is getting a message to update to 9.18.x every 24 hours.
Sometimes he accidentally hits the OK/ update button and has to go back in TWRP to wipe cache and dalvik.
So, how does one freeze the Verizon update application? We have unlocked bootloader and running 9.16.x and TWRP installed along with the Voodo thing for securing root.
My update failed to install as well. I'm rooted but NOT unlocked. Can someone point me in the right direction regarding how to restore bloatware apps? I made the rookie mistake of completely removing some of them a while back. I sincerely apologize if a solution has been posted already, as I was not able to find one so far.

Why do you not want the update? Your bootloader is unlocked so you're safe to go all the way to Kit Kat.

Well, I had asked to hold on till 4.4 is made available and that was supposed to come out in January.
But yesterday I upgraded the phone to 4.4.2 following Samurai's thread on DroidRzr forum.

But that's what this OTA was - the 4.4 upgrade. I guess I'm a little confused on what you were asking exactly.
Glad you are on KK now, though. And, you can go back to JB if you want to since your bootloader is unlocked.
I need help trying to get back to the way it was. the bootloader is unlock, the phone will boot but here is the trouble 1. it will not do a factory reset, 2. the wireless is disabled, 3. no google apps are installed. I have used teamwin to format everything and do a install but it just updates the already installed programs. I have tried carbon and all the vers. of cm10. I also tried fastboot to install the img files. I used fastboot to format the phone all of this doesn't help. I been trying for 3 days to get back and I am getting nowhere. I need help bad.

I can format bthe cashe, data and system in in teamwin but the phone will boot back into the os
Have you tried a different recovery - like cwm? It may make a difference.
Well cm 10 is based on 4.1 and those are 4.2 gapps I believe.

I had a ton of problems with my phone when I first got it. I was using twrp but when I fastbooted and started over with cwm (oudhs version) everything went much better. Idk why but that was my experience. So I suggest trying to switch recoveries like someone else suggested.

I am unable to flash the cwm recovery or twrp also a new kernel. It takes a long time to get pasted the screen "bootloader is unlocked". Again the wifi and blue tooth are not working. the wifi when going to the advanced menu shows that region code is Europe. Changed to USA closed and reopen and it is back to Europe. Is the bootloader causing all this???? ow can I see what is in the bootloader and edit it?
Have I got everyone stumped on this problem?

I was running Xylon and decided to download DLHacker's latest CM10.2. I backup up Xylon, wiped system, data, cache & dalvik and installed the the 8-13 build as well as the 8-12 gapps. First boot seemed to go okay but the keyboard kept force closing to the point that I could not complete the set-up. I forced a reboot, got back into TWRP and wiped cache & dalvik and fixed permissions. Now it hangs at the splash screen, doesn't boot loop, just hangs. So I got back into recovery, wiped system, data, cache & dalvik and restored my Xylon backup. Still hangs on the splash screen, doesn't boot loop, just hangs. I go back into recovery and wipe everything again and try to install an older build of Rage HD (4.1.2) and it reboots recovery everytime I try to install it.
I am currently installing the CM10.2 build and am going to use the 3-1 gapps I have on the sd and see if that makes any difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as looking now it seems like that combo is hanging on the splash screen too.
I experienced something similar when flashing CM 10.2. I ended up fastbooting back to stock.

I think that's what is going to have to happen, can't do that from my work computer though, guess I'm phoneless for the day. That means no Freebeer & Hotwings podcast and no music. Oh well, that's why they call it the bleeding edge, sometimes ya get cut.
I plan to install the latest firmware through RSDLite when I get home, does anyone know if there an issue with installing the MR4 (VZW_XT926_4.1.2_9.8.1Q_62_VQW_MR-4_VQW_CFC) when I'm unlocked? Will I have any issue re-rooting or anything like that if I install the latest firmware rather than an earlier one? I never recieved MR4 OTA because I was no longer stock when it was pushed.

There wont be an issue because you are unlocked. AFIK you cant root the newest firmware. If I were you id flash the last OTA that can be rooted, root it, use a root keeper such as voodoo to back it up, take the latest OTA, then restore root with the root keeper you used.

I'll have to do a bit of research before I pull the trigger. I'm pretty sure the first 4.1.2 VZW pushed can be rooted...
To the root threadz!
You are correct. The first 4.1.2 was rootable. You could use the Droid Utility 2.0 to restore that version and root.

Finally got things fixed. I tried through rsd lite, but it kept failing. Downloaded one of the utilities and it seemed to work, but still hung on the splash screen. So after downloading a few other factory images which also failed to flash, I saw the problem. Somehow I had downloaded rsd lite 5.6. *facepalm* Probably stay stock for a little bit, thanks for the help.

ok guys, stupid question time. i have been out of the hacking game for a while and havent been keeping up with the S3 since i was running a pretty stable version of cyanogenmod. i picked up a S5 last month and the S3 has just been sitting but the wifes phone is on its last leg so i figured i would update the S3 and give it to her since it would be an upgrade to what she has now. i was running CM 4.1.2 and tried to flash the 4.3 AllianceRom. did my usual, updated CWM, downloaded the rom, checked the MD5, flashed the new modem and rom using CWM and everything looked good. then it happened. stuck at the "galaxy SIII" logo screen. nothing got me out of it. wiped everything, tried a reinstall, downloaded the rom again and did an install, nothing. tried another rom and the install failed, tried another rom and again, install failed. so i had a copy of cleanrom 5.6 which is a 4.1.1 rom and damn if that didnt hand as well. so i did a battery pull and luckly it had installed and the phone actually booted up and into android. the only downside is for some reason i cant connect to wifi with the rom. so, i still want to try either 4.3 or 4.4 on this phone so the question is, WTF am i doing wrong that it wont boot? shouldnt i be able to go from 4.1.1 to 4.3 or 4.4 by just using CWM? help a brother out.
Make sure u cwm is the most recent

You need to use the latest PhilZ Touch Recovery (https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d2lte/) (just flash it in your current recovery). It is the best, and it works great. I would first go to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" and choose to "Clean to Install a New ROM." Then I would go into "Advanced" and wipe dalvik cache. Then I would go into "Mounts and Storage" and format boot and modem. Then I would flash the newest modem (http://www.mediafire.com/download/v0als76t6nmtpbo/DNE1.modem.zip). Then finally install your ROM and then GApps.
yes, CWM was updated just before flashing. i installed the recommended modem for the rom i was installing. not sure why it was stuck at the logo on 4.3 when i flashed a 4.1.1 rom and it booted right up just fine.
resolved. thanks guys.

I have two (2) S3's that I need to update and they're both running 4.1.1 ROMs.

I did all of the above and I can't get anything to work....
I updated to Philz, updated the modem and went to install a new ROM and it's error'ing out every time?
This phone was rooted from way back and it appears that I may have lost root... It's stuck at the Samsung Galaxy S III boot screen and I'm trying to get it to boot in to recovery at this time.
Edit: Was able to get in to recovery and restoring a backup now. Somethings not right when trying to go to a newer ROM.

I thought I updated to the latest Phliz and I do believe that's the error I was getting when I tried to load the ROM.
I'll check again Monday.
I appreciate the info.
The issue was with Philz.
I upgraded to the latest TWRP and loaded the new ROM fine.
its a first gen US boost mobile moto g xt1031. it is boot-loader unlocked and rooted. currently has twrp recovery and had cwm. i have never been able to flash any rom either from side-load or from internal or external sd. about a month ago i started having trouble restoring backups and now a few days ago it wont let me make a backup either. it gets stuck when it comes to restoring or backing up the data partition. beforehand i had no problems with backups. when i got the phone almost a year ago i didn't have any trouble boot-loader unlocking and rooting it. i am currently using lubuntu with the android sdk installed and my phone is recognized in adb and fastboot. i have been rooting and flashing android since my hd2 days and i never had this problem. i have tried several different boost moto g roms and none of them will boot. i just get boot loops. i have tried 4.4.2 4.4.4 and 5.0 roms. none will boot up. can anyone help me out with any ideas of whats wrong? debugging is on and again it is rooted boot-loader unlocked running twrp and recognized on my computer with adb and fastboot. thanks.
I am having the exact same issue. I first flashed BlissPop onto the device, and immediately ran into boot loops. I flashed a CM nightly for the 1031, same issue, and now even a stock rom does nothing but boot loops.
i have been trying to run cm since last july. im almost to the point that i dont even want this phone anymore. ive never had this problem with any other phone. i hope someone can help us. the only thing i can flash is recovery. but thats pretty much pointless since i can flash a rom or create or restore a backup. the old backup i have fails when it comes to date but it will boot. i just have to start from the beginning every time.
Yeah man, I've been through everything I typically do for rescues like this one, nothing has worked. Stock ROMs bootloop as well, which is just strange. I'm starting to think I killed the parition table on the phone itself.
