Hi, I know this isn't the right thread, but its the closest I can get to having my question answered.
So basically I have a DROID RAZR HD XT926 rooted, with android 4.4.2, kernel version 3.4.42 and system version 182.46.10 which is downgraded using instructions from here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-hd/general/root-droid-razr-hd-xt926-183-46-15-t3062040
So what I want to do is unlock my bootloader. I have been trying for a few days and searched many forums but with no success. I didn't find any other method other than using motopocalypse. I have tried using the apk version from my phone and the app says bootloader is unlocked but when I check in fastboot mode it says device is locked and status code 0. When I use the pc method ( I have windows 10) it just shows daemon started successfully... and then u nothing.
If anyone could provide any assistance I would really appreciate it.

If there is, no one has discovered it yet. Most developers have given up and moved on to newer devices, so finding a way to unlock the bootloader is effectively impossible.
Help updating an old XT926
Hi
I have an ex-Verizon XT926, although I am in the UK. When I first got it I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader (and changed some obscure setting so that it would potentially work on GSM in the US). But I never actually updated the ROM or took any OTA. So it is still on Android 4.1.2, 9.16.6.XT926.Verizon.en.US.
Although I'm being offered 9.18.79.en.US OTA, it won't successfully take that (presumably because I've rooted it, or because it doesn't like the version of TWRP I have installed).
I've spent some time googling/searching, but as the version-relevant threads are pretty old now, it all gets a bit confusing.
What I'd like to do is to upgrade to Marshmallow, if a reasonable version exists for this phone. Is it essentially as simple as finding a suitable ROM and installing it from the SD card using ROM Manager? Or via TWRP? Do I need to worry about what version of TWRP I have installed?

You cannot install updates unless full stock
You will need to flash a official (xml.zip) firmware with RSD Lite

latest official rom is Kitkat 4.4.2,
Marshmallow may available in a custom rom like CyanogenMod 13 (cm13)

I wouldn't use Rom Manager, Twrp version does matter, find a rom you would like to try, then ask in the rom ask in the Rom thread which TWRP version works best.
You will most likely need the Kitkat bootloader
I would just flash a official kitkat 4.4.2 (xml.zip) firmware with RSD Lite

are you installing gapps too, if so what version?
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Labs
I used the cyanogenmod app to download cm12 and the Gapps nano package for cm12. Also tried cm11 with and without its corresponding Gapps...just hangs on the duel core logo, cm12 hangs on the blue alien logo? Should I factory reset? Or will I lose my cm downloads and be screwed? Thanks for the assist
Solution to my problem was to wipe internal storage,dalvic cache,system data and cache, the went great I have cm12.1 running smooth all gapps from nano package running well. Thanks for the help, cm12.1 is really nice.
Hello,
Thanks to many threads here I was able to fix my non so well working xt925 and installed a working CM 13, but right now I face a little issue :
Everything works fine (android, apps, ...), but when I restart the phone, instead of following the restart I ask it always goes into fastboot.
I can force reboot recovery, normal, whatever, it goes to fastboot.
I have then to type fastboot continue, or to reset into bootloader to hit the command Normal powerup to start launching android.
I haven't found much info about this as everytime I looked for it, I only got people stucked onto fastboot with broken recovery/os.
I am with a jellybean bootloader.
EDIT : I actually found the solution, get into fastboot mode, and type fastboot oem fb_mode_clear. The device will then restart normally. I guess I hit factory mode at some point in my previous operations. Sorry for the useless question.
Martin
No custom ROMs work?
I have an XT925 with an unlocked bootloader and it was stuck in AP fastboot mode for some time before I unlocked the bootloader and flashed TWRP recovery 2.8.6.0. RSD Lite still won't flash 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 and just returns:
Code:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
I can however flash stock 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 ROMs to my Razr HD using the Razr HD Toolkit (thread here), and flash a modified Canadian 4.4.2 OTA (from here) using RSD Lite.
For some reason though, no custom ROMs work. Many others (such as PACMAN) were hosted on GOO.IM or some other dead site (such as the unofficial Resurrection Remix), so they were impossible to download. I've only tried Dirty Unicorns, MIUI, CM11, CM12.1 and SlimKat, and only Dirty Unicorns could get to the boot animation. All other ROMs don't boot past the Unlocked Bootloader Warning screen (which has now been replaced with a Motorola Dual Core Technology one).
Any ideas?

Assalam o Alaikum!
I have moto xt926. It was working fine but now it's not accepting Sim Card. But sometimes it Accept Sim Card.
In Morning when i Turn ON my mobile sometimes sim works. But after 5 or 4 minutes it disappears automatically. Mobile phone is Rooted. I Rooted Phone 6 months ago but this problem came just a month ago.
How can i check that this is problem of hardware or Software?
( Sorry for Bad English)
Here are some Screenshots of my mobile while working sim card in Morning and then it disappearing.
I did Flash firmware after this problem but nothing changed.
Help me I'm very upset. I can't afford another mobile.
That's all .

Hi I want to root my phone. I am on android 9 and OOS 9.0.8. I have seen the guides on XDA and that is not what I am scared of. Can anyone link the correct twrp and magisk files that would I use as I am not sure which ones are suitable for the current OOS and android version I am on now. I have read loads of people saying using the wrong files can brick your phone and I dont really want to do that.Thanks.
Just use latest magisk and latest Blu spark twrp bcuz you are on the latest version of Android [Android 9 (Pie)]

I am slightly confused by the naming convention of the blu spark files on this website. Which two img and zip files go together?
Yeah it's pretty confusing to me too that's why I just follow his most recent stuff on his GitHub instead of the downloads section. He stopped updating the downloads section I think so that's why I've switched to his GitHub for he updates more frequently and faster to his GitHub.
(It's so he doesn't have to update his files multiple places bcuz it must get tedious for him/her)

Thanks for this, this is perfect!
For this S7 Exynos?
I've used a ton of these roms, but..Can any of these be completely de-googled?
lingeageos
find lingeageos from roms
We have LineageOS, Vanilla and microG
You could try e/OS but it ain't that good in my opinion
Every Lineage rom there is in this forum, comes with the phrase "Install gapps right after installing the rom itself don't try to boot to system before that if you want to use gapps (Or wipe data before installing them)" ...
So... Am I supposed to install GApps, and then microG on top of this "de-Googled" option?
Or can I install microG, from TWRP directly? And skip that step?

No.
Its not mandatory to install gapps in the first place.
Also you can directly install microG in place of gapps or just use the LineageOS microG version which you can find here
I was considering /e/ myself because it has an official ROM for this phone:
Info about Samsung Galaxy S7 - herolte
At least you can see what bugs have been reported with it there and decide for yourself if any of them look important for you or not. I don't know if any of the LineageOS community builds on the forums are likely to be better or worse in this regard? The other bit of info I can't find is how easy it is to go back to stock ROM if you have any issues with it. It appears to be based on Android 10 (Q), and I've heard it can be difficult to downgrade again to older Android versions?
For de-Googling it goes a bit deeper than just leaving out Google Play Services, but whether you care about lower level pings is up to you:
https://e.foundation/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/e-state-of-degooglisation.pdf
Calls to Google servers
Here is a decent overview:
And here is my initial failed attempt to de-Google the stock ROM. If anyone can help with troubleshooting that it would be much appreciated, or maybe I need to post it in a separate thread?

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum since I wanted to get some advice on how to fix my Android phone.
I have an Huawei P8 (GRA-L09) which is stuck in bootloop.
I tried to force update using the build B222 however it returns an error, sayin the instalation failed after like 6%.
I think my current build is B520, which would be the latest available.
However I can't finy any downloads on the internet to get that firmware on my sd card.
I have a second P8 which is working fine that has this firmware, can I somehow extract it or is someone able to point me to the correct download?
Thanks a lot in advance!
