I'm really new to android and i thought i was smart enough to install cyanagen mod but i messed upppppp
what i used to do everything was the droid razr hd utility i did everything correctly except rembering to make backup of my phone
so i searched the web nd found that i could still save my phone by using the droid utility to it back to stock android, i thought this would put my phone to factory but i was wrong instead it turned my phone from the xt925 to the xt926 and changed from fido to verizon. Now, when I boot the phone, I still get the message 'Bootloader is unlocked'. I saw a large number of Verizon specific apps. When booting the phone, instead of the Motorolla 'M' icon/splash, I get a 'Droid' icon, with sound-effects. Also, System Version shows as 9.16.XT926.Verizone.en.US (even though my phone is an XT925 on FIDO)
i know im supposed to flash a jb file and i found it i just dont understand how to delete the gevlar lines and i dont know what lined are can someone tell me
also i have no idea how to flash anything thats why i used the droid utility pleassse some one help me get back to the canada version pleeeasee thanks a lot
i also attached the a picture of the xml file in the jb file can someone show me what to delete and waht to do after
Same issue here, I feel like an idiot for flashing an XT926 rom on. Now when I flash CM11, Liquid Smooth, or any other rom my phone cannot connect to Fido.
If you find a solution please let me know, Thanks.

P.S. I ended up buying a new phone so I've been Googling and trying solutions for months. I found the stock roms here (sbf.droid-developers DOT org/phone.php?device=6) but they don't seem to solve the problem.
Fixed it!!!
Ok, so the root of the problem is that the Droid Utility while claiming to be designed for XT925 and XT926 it only flashes the XT926 factory recovery. That is where you and I both went wrong, we read the instructions and believed it would work on XT925.
Since this is a junk phone now that I bought a new one I decided to screw around. I downloaded the factory firmware from the link in my last post, most of the files are the same as in the XT926 folder in the Droid Utility folder (obviously the files the utility uses for recovery). I renamed, where necessary the files from the XT925 download and moved them all over to the Droid Utility XT926 folder. I left the .xml file in place. I then ran the factory recovery (option 1, then option 1 again). So, the utility thought it was flashing XT926 but in fact it was flashing 925 files. After that I booted up and it asked if I wanted to wipe and apply settings from the sim car, I did and it rebooted twice and now I can make calls and have a stock XT925 that works. It's still rooted but the recovery seems to have been wiped and it goes to the dead android (exclamation mark droid) when you select recovery. That should be easy to fix.
For anyone searching for the wifi issues that I also had, this seems to have fixed that. When the device first booted up the wifi button was still greyed out and you couldn't turn on wifi. Once it wiped the device and applied the settings from the sim card the wifi became active and I could connect. I can also connect to LTE.
As I said, this is a backup device for me now so if you want me to do any messing around or take pictures I'm happy to.

Okay, so I read and read, searched and searched. So far I'm pretty stuck.
I did a ton of research before taking my LG P500h, and flashing the ROM because I wasn't a fan of the Froyo android setup. Did everything properly, ran an nandroid backup, everything that I was told to do.
Rooted using Gingerbreak APK, custom backup using Amon_RA custom recovery. All done using the latest USB drivers LG updated me with.
I am currently with Koodo Mobile here in Canada. Pretty much an offspring of Telus Mobile. Currently I am running Cyanogen Mod 7 the 6.5.7 beta build, and the phone is not bricked, or giving me any errors or hassle.
The problem is that I cannot use the 3G network or use the Koodo network. It only defaults to Telus towers. No android market showing up anywhere either. From what I've found on here, there doesn't seem to be a bugfix solution to this, and no settings I've been able to change on the phone has helped my situation. Maybe I missed something.
So, I decided to take it back to where I began, back to Froyo 2.2.1 . This is where it all went wrong. Tried going through the Nandroid backup and restoring that, I was given an " Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb! " . Okay, I'm not exactly a Java programmer so I'm a little intimidated. I do however have Android SDK going on my laptop.
Some more searching revealed the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe flashing method. I got the right KDZ file for my Koodo phone, V10V_00.kdz and began the process. Everything checks out, good to go, started update. Wait, phone not found? WTF! My laptop recognizes it, says my phone is connected and working. No problems here, just can't find it? UGH.
So, I need someone to either give me info on getting it to flash the kdz, or get Cyanogen Mod 7 working properly on my device.
Please help, I'll fully admit I'm a noob to this, and not an expert programmer either. But, I know computers and I fully understand what I have done so far to my phone. Just not enough to fix it.
Okay, I have gotten some things working on my phone. I think I am settling into Cyanogen Mod nicely. I missed the Google apps flash zip so I have my market and stuff. Its a shame the data does not work though. Oh well I will keep updating as it gets developed.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
GOT IT! finally...
Finally got my phone recovered to OEM specs. I had to restore my computer back to before I installed all my drivers and reinstalled all my USB drivers from there. Phone connected to USB properly, ran the KDZ updater, and it sucessfully installed the V10V kdz. All is well.
finally good luck.. enjoy androiding..
When you flashed the cyanogen mod rom what program did you use to flash the phone? And how did you make a rom backup? When you reflashed the stock rom did it still have all the original bloatware?
LG Optimus P500h TELUS became dead during Upgrading
Hi everybody!
I have LG Optimus P500h Telus. I purchased from Kijiji. I don't have any papers or documents for that so i cannot claim its warranty.
I was trying to upgrade its version during upgrading my device was stuck so I disconnected and plugged out its battery and inserted again. When i tried to turn it on. It never turned on again. It never ever appeared emergency mode again. I tried for several times by pushing home, power, and volume up and down buttons, and escape buttons. Now its just like dead. It never showed any sign of life. If anybody have any idea what happened with it and how I can recover or where I should take this one for repairs. I am in toronto, canada.
Your help and suggestions will be appreciated.
HELP!

My problem starts from post #600
Please.
I'm nre to all thiis
I got an HTC Inspire 4 G that i bought on eBay.
I got it unlocked
I'm not living in the US
I rooted it a day ago
Now I'm trying to put on a rom it has been unsuccessful
I've downloaded about three diff ones, none work. One actually booted up, when i went in about phone showed be 4.1 but the look of the phone looked nothing like what was in the ROM description.
I tried even getting an update from ATT which it actually now saying (after I rooted it that I do have an update), but the download stopped so it's corrupted.
So I am stuck. I just need a simple brief instruction on how I get a rom loaded oh I'm using clockworld rom.
Also when I got the other Rom loaded it didn't give me any wifi or data access.
And one the phone didn't even boot up fully it kept rebooting till putting me back to clockworld boot which (good thing I did) was able to recover from a backup I have on the SD.
thanks in advance guys

Sent from a dream.
Please bare with me since this is the first time having to post for an issue since I usually find an answer on your forums
So here's the situation.
I bought the photon q 4g lte from ebay and it came with the unlocked bootloader.
Needless to say it was with the stock ics and i tried to find a jellybean update because it wasn't taking the ota and ended up going with cyanogen since i had no problems before. However those phones i had before were with sim cards not cdma.
I found out i couldn't update prl or profile manually without having to do something on the pc.
So after searching left and right i found i could use rsl lite (I used 6.1.5) and eventually found the "stock" file from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095536&highlight=rsd+lite
I did the stock jellybean, got it to go through the process and it booted up with no errors.
However, when it boots into the os it pops up a force close on omadmclient_sprint_dataservice and eventually also on the process com.android.phone.
I tried putting it in airplane mode to see if the service error would go away but it didn't work for the process part crashing.
I tried re-flashing, deleting cache in recovery, doing a data/factory reset in recovery and the one time i was able to do a data factory reset within the settings menu.
I could not find anyone that said they had a rom that worked with sprint and updating prl within the rom, if anyone knows of one let me know and i will flash it through rsd.
Otherwise does anyone have an idea of what could be happening because googling the omadmclient part did not pull up anything specific and pulling up the process issue for other phones has not helped me either.
Was this a hacked GSM phone, or are you using it as CDMA?
I've never heard of people having FC issues after flashing a FXZ from RSD. Which one did you flash? Android 4.1.2 - Sprint US - 9.8.2Q-122_XT897_FFW-5 (No simlock) ?
If you are on stock, you should be able to update the PRL within the ROM.
I was trying to use it with cdma network through sprint. and yeah that was the file i downloaded, had to remove the getvar to get it working but flashed with no errors after doing that.
As for updating the prl i can barely navigate through the phone, there is no home page loading and the process pop comes up often enough that its hard to go through the settings

Sounds like something went wrong mate. Are you already activated on Sprint? I don't know if that would matter, it might.
I would honestly redownload and redo the RSD process.

I originally tried to activate the phone through cyanogen and then when the rep said he couldnt do it because of the lack of prl to update within the rom we just setup the activation back on the old phone/ That phone is working on the network.
I re-downloaded the file just in case and re-flashed but same problem. The only thing i thought of was maybe updating the radio but since its a stock rom it should work out of the gate. whats also weird is i tried turning wifi on but it didnt work either.
Anychange you know of a rom that works with sprint. I dont care if its stock since i would probably root later again.

Which one are you flashing?
Try another perhaps...? I honestly have never heard of this. It sounds like the phone might be damaged, or the RSD process just did not flash correctly.
I guess I should ask, was the phone modified at all for the GSM SIM slot mod? I wonder if having a non-Sprint SIM in is messing with it... That is just a shot in the dark.

so far the only rom i tried was 10.1 cyanogen and the stock rom for jellybean. However for the stock rom it doesnt let me downgrade to ics with rsd 6.1.5 do you think if i downloaded an old version i could downgrade to a lower stock rom?
Also I honestly had not looked for the cdma roms since most of what i saw was troubleshooting related for this phone but i just saw this rom -AOKP 4.2.2 (Android Open Kang Project) (CDMA&GSM) that you created - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293892
I re-rooted and installed that one and it looks great, just wondered how you got sprint to activate the phone or if you had done it before changing the rom? Also how would the prl and profile be updated.
Lastly the wifi wasn't turning on this time either, it did work initially when i got the phone so that has me stumped.

To downgrade to ICS, you need to remove some additional lines. See this post for more information on that.
However, you should be able to update the PRL on either stock ROM.
I think I said this before, but I will say it again. You need to do PRL updates, activate the phone, and get EVERYTHING working on stock BEFORE you flash ANY custom ROM. This is just standard practice - you don't want to put the cart before the horse! Get the phone working, then play with custom ROM's.
Okay, I've read every possible thread on every possible site trying to get my Xoom 3g VZW up and running again.
Long story short, here's where I am right now.
Bootloader is unlocked
Newest version on TWRP is installed
I have no backups
I have nothing on the Xoom
SD Card has a rom and gapps waiting, HOWEVER, I can't access my SD card in the Xoom
Cannot get ADB to recognize the Xoom at all, whatsoever.
I don't care if I have to go back to Stock/Locked (I'd prefer to just get this rom pushed and installed).
HELP!
You say 3G VZW Xoom? You never sent it for the upgrade? If so, make sure you use the MZ600 firmware files only.
I ran into a similar situation (Stuck with Red M on my screen) with my VZW 4G Xoom a while ago when I tried a Wifi Only ROM, then tried to go back to "stock" I posted how I fixed it here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803219 BUT I'm not sure that will work for a 3G MZ600 or not.
You could always try the Moto Stock fast boot files which are available here -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/rom-images

Correct. I bought it back on day one and never attached it to my Verizon account. I just used it as a wifi only tablet (at that point in time, the Wi-fi only version had not been released). So, I never sent it in.
I'm going to try with the fast boot files, but don't the require adb to be working? That's my biggest issue. No matter what I do, I can't get adb to recognize my tablet.

I don't believe ADB working is required. The power on, then press volume button allowed me toggle and put my Xoom in Fastboot as well as RSD modes.
Hello, I have been searching for this for over a week and nothing has really helped, so I decided to try and ask it here myself. I have a Motorola Droid RAZR HD (xt926) and have been rooted the entire time I have had the phone. I just recently unlocked the bootloader due to the motopocalypse exploit working again on the new 4.4.2 update. Once unlocked I first tried CWM but didn't care for it so I then used TWRP. On either recovery it was able to flash CM11 perfectly with no hiccups as long as I used DHacker's or CM11 nightlies. The only problem is that on both CM11 and stock once I restored the Mobile Network State says Disconnected. I have done many restores through the phone and other utilites on the PC, but none have gotten it to work. The ONLY thing working is when I go in and get another SIM card. The first one I got only worked for an hour before I flashed CM11, but I figure that it was just a faulty sim. The second one worked perfect and I was hesitant to try a custom rom just in case it broke again, but I did it anyway. Sadly, I am now here with a perfectly functioning phone with calling and texting working perfectly, but no mobile data at all. I am at a loss and do not want to go into Verizon again if I do not have to. Please let me know if there is anything you know of that I can do! I really appreciate all the help I can get.
Thank you in advance!
