Hi everybody!
I have an international atrix (Brazil) and since I bought it I was using froyo with Greyblur room. I decided to unlock my boot and install Gingerbread with Cherryblur room. I followed the steps:
Unlock bootloader with fastboot- ok
Downloaded 2.3.4 OrangeFR from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169409
Downloaded v1.4d Stable - FULL WIPE - Download ROM Here from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160649
And then followed cherryblur steps for international:
Follow the directions at the link above VERY CAREFULLY or you will end up soft-bricking your phone
Download the latest version of the Webtop Installer (from install files below)
Copy both zip files to the rood of your MicroSD card
Power off your phone
Press and hold both the power button and the volume down key until you get to the bootloader screen which will default to showing "Fastboot"
Keep pressing the volume down key until you see Android Recovery on the screen
Press the volume up key to enter recovery
Highlight "Install zip From sdcard" using the volume keys and press the power button to select it
Select "Choose zip from sdcard"
Select "External SD Card"
Select the CherryBlur install file and choose YES to install
This will take about 2-3 minutes
Once complete you will end up back at the menu where you can select "External SD Card" again, select it
This time select the Boot file (kernel) you downloaded and choose YES to install
Once complete you will end up back at the menu where you can select "External SD Card" again, select it
This time select the Webtop file and choose YES to install
This will also take about 2-3 minutes
I got an error when trying to apply the international kernel. So I rebooted and found that everythig was working but the ram. I followed the steps for ram fix and it is ok now.
System version: 45.0.7.MB860.Orange.en.FR
Android version: 2.3.4
Version number: 4.5.2-11_OLE-7
I have a problem with CPU load. It is always at 50 -70 % at 1Ghz. I have setCPU profile when screen is of to set cpu clock to 216 Mhz min and 415 Mhz max, and it worked, but the moment I turn my screen on, CPU goes back to 1Ghz at 50% - 70% load.
At battery usage there is a "X" at second place. Monitoring the system with SystemPanel I found that a system process called Xorg is always up using CPU.
The other problem I noticed is a lagg playng Fruit Ninja HD, never had this prblem with Froyo, I think it is the stuff that is using my CPU.
Any tips? I do not know what to do. I saw some threads with this CPU load problem but no direct answer...
Sorry for may bad english!

How do you install RUU "Gingerbread 2.11.605.0"
*****WARNING*****
**Following the directions below WILL WIPE YOUR DATA!!!! (Apps, settings, anything NOT on your sdcard WILL be gone.)**
**If you choose to install this the ONLY way to get back to stock is to s-off and root your phone. It is also possible that you won't get OTAs with this installed but I'm not sure. If that's the case you would have to come here and follow this same process with the new OTA file plus lose your data again.**
Now that's out of the way here you are:
Go this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1232017
Download the file in the third link to your phone. Rename it to PG05IMG.zip exactly and put it on the root of your sdcard. (not in any folders) Power off your phone and pull the battery. Put the batt back in and hold volume down + power untill the white hboot(bootloader) screen appears. Once there if it says fastboot you will need to select bootloader by moving up and down with the volume keys and selecting by tapping the power button. Once in the bootloader it will automatically find the file and ask you to press vol up to update. **Make sure your battery is charged to at least 40%**
When its done updating select reboot by tapping the power button and your done.

I am trying to install ics. I do what the link is telling me. It goes to the android icon and it installs 10-15 % then it reboots back to 2.3.5 what am I doing wrong
Which method were you using? Trying to install US version?
Here's a detailed thread if trying US version.
Hello All,
This is the tale of my personal journey to updating my RAZR to the .211 OTA. Please note that all of this is from my memory. If anyone happens to notice an error, please let me know asap! I’ll be sure to edit the post.
Hopefully my time yesterday will help other n00bs like me 
Backstory:
I was rooted on .181. I thought that I was 100% stock other than the root, but apparently that wasn’t the case. My first attempt was done via this method here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/2871-upgrade-from-181-to-211-sideload/
I tried this method because it seemed the easiest, but it did not work for me. It just simply booted me back into GB.
So… after reading, thinking, reading, thinking, wavering, thinking, and drinking for hours on end yesterday, I finally give this method a shot. This is my overly specific story of my success.
Numerous caveats before I proceed (seriously... read these):
1) In no way, shape, or form, is this information novel. I give all credit to Matt (his utility), andlaw, and RDA990 over at droidrzr.com and droidforums.com. THANK YOU ALL!
2) What follows is only the step-by-step of how I accomplished it. I am in no way, shape, or form responsible for what happens should you try this at home.
3) This is from where I compiled the information:
a. http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...y-17-for-ics-and-those-who-want-to-go-to-ics/
b. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...-installation-guide-droid-razr-razr-maxx.html
c. http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/2871-upgrade-from-181-to-211-sideload/
4) The process is actually simpler than it appears.
5) Make sure that you have a charge of at least 70% (I charged to 100% to be safe).
6) If for some reason you brick, see here to fix: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...-installation-guide-droid-razr-razr-maxx.html
7) This method will wipe your phone (i.e, factory reset).
8) To my knowledge, this method only works if you are on .181. (but see the link in A for other versions).
9) My understanding from my extensive reading yesterday indicates that the reason some people were failing on the OTA update from the link above at droidforums is that the first attempt at the ICS installation replaces your stock Recovery but then fails to actually install. Some were getting errors the second time around as well.
10) This method worked flawlessly for me first attempt.
What you’ll need:
a) A Droid Razr (duh)
b) A Windows PC
c) Latest Motorola Drivers
d) Matt’s Utility 1.7
e) The OTA .zip file (Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip)
f) Your USB cord
g) Download C,D,E here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...y-17-for-ics-and-those-who-want-to-go-to-ics/
Steps:
1) Download Matt’s Utility 1.7.
2) Unzip it
3) Download the OTA .zip update file. DO NOT UNZIP IT
4) Make sure you turn on USB Debugging on your phone
5) Connect your phone to your computer via USB
6) Place the zipped OTA file on the EXTERNAL SD CARD of your phone. Please note that you can verify it’s in the right place by using ES File Explorer (available for free on the market). It should be located at “/mnt/sdcard-ext/”. You can also verify the md5 via ES File Explorer to make sure it matches that listed on Matt’s download page.
7) Change USB back to Charge Only
8) Turn your phone OFF
9) Hold Power, Volume UP, and Volume DOWN (all three at the same time). A menu will appear.
10) Press Volume DOWN until you get to AP Fastboot
11) Press Volume UP to enter AP Fastboot
12) Open the folder to which you extracted Matt’s 1.7 utility on your PC
13) Open the .bat file in Matt's Utility folder
14) Select Option 1. Let it do its thing. It replaces the stock recovery (along with some other stuff I don’t understand) so that you can then actually apply the update. This process actually takes a few minutes (probably something like 5-10 minutes).
15) When complete, turn your phone OFF using the on-screen (phone) instructions.
16) At this point, I powered back on, and the phone booted back into stock GB. I then setup Google account.
17) Turn phone OFF
18) Hold Power, Volume UP, and Volume DOWN (all three at the same time). A menu will appear.
19) Press Volume DOWN until you get to “Recovery”
20) Press Volume UP to enter “Recovery”
21) At this point an android will be on his side with an exclamation mark. Don’t freak out, this is supposed to happen.
22) Press Volume UP and Volume DOWN (both at the same time). This should enter recovery.
23) With the Volume DOWN button go down to "Wipe CACHE partition" and press the Power button to select it. DO THIS TWICE
24) With the Volume DOWN button go to "Apply Update from SDCard" and press the Power button to select it.
25) Press Volume DOWN until you get to “Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip” and select it with the Power button. (This is the one we put in the External SD in Step 6.)
26) It will take a good bit of time to update. Mine took about 15-20 minutes.
27) Once the update is complete select "Reboot system now."
28) Grab a beer and pat yourself on the back.
29) Feel free to Root ICS 4.0.4. using Matt’s 1.7 utility (if you do, I believe you need to make sure to check allow installation of non-market apps – at least I did, and it worked for me).
30) Did I mention to have a beer?
31) See pics for verification (screen shots are built into ICS by holding Power and Volume DOWN!)

what is the ethod to upgrade from 173? please help
now i m unable to unroot my phone to get any new ics updates :-(
any help is much appreciated!!!
Si quieres leer este post en español, lo puse tambien aqui.
Well …….. Foremost, my English is not good. :silly:
I know that many users of Dell Venue has to upgrade to MIUI or CM7 version, because Dell doesn’t provide the upgrades for this device, but there are many complains for bothersome issues, for example the “MUTE” on the phone calls and recording on CM7 and MIUI is the worse issues ever.
…
Here I will to explain how revert back to froyo your Dell Venue. I spend many hours on it, because I am super newbie, even now there is steps unnecessaries for knowledgeable people.
This process can be the same for Stock Froyo or Stock Gingerbread (yeah, Gingerbread 2.3.3, TheManii uploaded 3 versions from Olleh on the XDA Wiki).
I recommend the Stock Froyo Thunder 325, because is the most recent Retail Version Froyo for Dell Venue and it has not issues with MMI codes from Occidentals Communications Companies. If you want another version you can Download from the XDA Wiki.
Files required:
Drivers for Dell Venue (ADB_Tethering_Driver.rar & DRIVERS_DELL_VENUE_-_R291096.rar)
Compatible Stock Recovery (recovery.img)
Froyo 2.2.2 (Thunder_325_17232_00.pkg)
MultiRecoveryFlasher.v.0.5.1.rar
Process:
1. Install the drivers to your PC, if you don’t have it of course and restart.
2. Put the Thunder_325_17232_00.pkg into your SD (the root directory of the sd, be sure to erase another pkg files or any extensions files, every file except the folders) and rename it to: “update.pkg” and turn off the phone.
3. Set your phone on Fastboot. (Turn off the phone, Move Ringer to Up position, press volume down and the power bottom at the same time, hold both until the dell logo disappear and only shows a white line in the middle of your phone that says “Entering fastboot MODE”).
4. Connect your phone to the PC and wait to windows configure the new drivers, when it finishes your phone will show a yellow on mode2.
5. Extract the "MultiRecoveryFlasher.v.0.5.1.rar" on the Desktop, open that folder and copy the compatible "recovery.img" and replace the recovery into one of the folders with recoveries, i suggest you to replace the one in the folder of clockworkmod, because is easier to remember where the recovery was put into.
6. Double click on “MultiRecoveryFlasher.bat” and it will shows a screen with many opcions to push recoveries into the phone.
7. Write CR or the number of the folder you replace the recovery.img on the step number 5, press enter, it shows a short advice text, push enter again.
8. When it finishes the phone will restarts. So press the enter twice and the screen will disappear.
9. When your phone restarts hold quickly the Volume+ and Volume- until the recovery screen appears (not necessary, but is easier than wait for it starts completely and turn off again).
10. Select “SW upgrade from update.pkg”, it will shows a screen with blue letter if you read the shorts instructions you will find out that only need to press the shutter of the camera to start to install the new rom.
11. Congratulations!! Your almost are in froyo, the process from here is automatic, when it finishes the phone will restart and in one minute or two your stock froyo its up.
-------
Ok, now you are into stock froyo only you need to root it again, but you will find out that the SuperOneclicks doesn’t works on your new rom. It apparently happens because Thunder 325 is a release newer than the OneClick method, anyway here the links and try:
DOWNLOAD SUPERONECLICKS
SuperOneClickv1.5.1-ShortFuse.zip
SuperOneClick_1.6.5__1_.rar
SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse.zip
SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse.Drivers.rar
SuperOneClickv2.1-ShortFuse.zip
SuperOneClickv2.1.1-ShortFuse.zip
SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse.zip
SuperOneClickv2.3.1-ShortFuse.zip
SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse.zip
**note, if you don’t get success from this method you will need to reinstall the PC drivers of your phone because sometimes these gets corrupted.
-------
Let’s ROOT!
Files:
ClockWorkMod_and_408_Recovery.rar
Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Process:
1. Put the “Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip” into the root directory of your SD Card.
2. Put your phone into the fastboot (turn off, set the ringer on mute and press Volume down and the Power button at the same time until the wite line appears). Connect the phone to the PC.
3. Extract the “ClockWorkMod_and_408_Recovery.rar” folder on the desktop. Execute the “Install CWM.bat”, and press enter. It will push the CWM recovery to your phone and it will restarts. Press enter again and the screen will disappear.
4. Hold quickly the Volume + and Volume - until the recovery screen appears. Press the “SW upgrade from update.pkg” and you will go into CWM (clock work mod recovery).
5. Press volume + or – to navigate, if you want, "wipe data" and after "wipe cache partition", just in case. **Optional**
6. Now select “Install zip from Sdcard” and after “Choose zip from Sdcard”, with the volume + or – navigate to “Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip” is at the bottom sure.
7. Select it again from the secondary menu that will appears and here you go!
8. When it finish, back to the first menu and select “reboot system now”.
9. Congratulations your are Rooted!!

Newbie with i717 Unrooted stock JB. Due to apparent lag issues since updating to JB, I would like to improve performance by installing either Padawan or Stock deodexed_DEBLOAT ROM.
1. What are the differences between the 2 ROMS?
2. Where can I find the detailed steps to follow to install the Padawan ROM?
3. Where can I find the detailed steps to follow to install the deodexed_DEBLOAT ROM?
Go to the development thread. Each rom has instructions on how to flash. GL

I've use the Padawan jb 4.1.2
Its a great ROM. There were still some lag issues that some were experiencing. I did not. Maybe just what you use with it and how. There is also a kernel made just for it allowing over clock(oc) I liked it. Anyway there are a couple other ROMS available. The BlackStar X ( ICS 4.0.4) is a must if you haven't experienced it. Anyway hope this helps a little. Experiment a little....

I flash everything. There is no other way to know what you will like. It's all about how you use the rom. And remember, every phone responds different to different roms, the phone has a mind of its own. I did enjoy the padawan....great rom! Myself, I'm not much into stock roms though....Just have fun! :cyclops:
Stock deodexed debloated is just at&t official JB deodexed and debloate. You can look up the meaning of deodexed and debloated means getting rid of at&t and samsung crap apps.
With Padawan, the dev took the stock rom (probably the deodexed, debloated rom) and made some performance tweaks.
I have used previous versions of Padawan and they have been rock solid and stable. Paired with the custom OC kernel, it may be the best rom option

I have always used Padawan since version 4. Bought my note used, unlocked, rooted, then flashed Padawan.
Never felt the need to try another.

You really never tried any other roms?? That is amazing if it be the case. It is too easy to try the many, many great roms out there, to not do so. IMHO. Backups work wonders so you can go back with little hassle. Just curious.
Thanks to all for your help. i717 is currently UNrooted with stock JB 4.1.2. My plan is to flash either the debloated_deodexed ROM or the Padawan ROM (both of which are pre-rooted) using the following procedure:
1 It is not necessary to Root UNrooted phone before starting this procedure
2 Backup items on internal sd card (phone folder) to external SD or Computer
3 Odin307.zip file - extract 4 files to computer Desktop
4 openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-quincyatt.img.tar file - copy to computer Desktop
5 SGH-I717UCMD3_4.1.2_Stock_Deodexed_DEBLOAT.zipfile or Padawan_JB.zipfile - copy to root of External SD Card
6 Unplug phone and power off
7 Open odin3 v3.07.exe on computer desktop and click pda button
8 In pda dialog, browse to desktop and select openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-quincyatt.img.tar file, which puts link to twrp file in pda entry area
9 Put phone in download mode - hold vol down button and plug in usb cable
10 At warning screen, push vol up to continue and go to downloading mode
11 On desktop computer see connection under ID:COM (blue highlight) if no connection, may need to install drivers. curser should be blinking in phone entry area
12 To flash recovery, click start - recovery takes just a few seconds resulting in green bar at top left and RESET in blue highlight (& later PASS in green highlight?)
13 Phone will auto reboot - unplug phone after reboot starts (music tones)
14 Wait for phone to completely reboot and then power off phone
15 Push and Hold vol up & down and push power button
16 At Samsung logo, release power button
17 At Teamwin display, Release vol up & down
18 Push backup & with Boot, Data and System boxes checked, swipe to backup (2-3 min)
19 At finish, swipe to unlock
20 Don't reboot system, backup to screen with buttons
21 Select wipe button & swipe to factory reset
22 Select Advanced Wipe (may require backup to prev screen) & then select system and then swipe to wipe
23 Press Back button or backup arrow one or more times to screen with buttons and then select Install button
24 Find ROM File on SD Card: SGH-I717UCMD3_4.1.2_Stock_Deodexed_DEBLOAT.zip (or Padawan_JB.zip)
25 Select the ROM File with finger and then swipe to confirm flash.
26 After Flash, the word Successful should be displayed
27 Select reboot system (If TWRP offers to fix SU, select do not fix) and leave alone for 10 minutes after it boots up
28 Go thru setup process. e.g., when Use Google Location screen appears, select FINISH, etc
29 At home screen select Apps Icon - ATT Smart WFI is there but most other att apps & bloatware are gone. SuperSU is also there
Two Questions:
1. Does my phone have to be rooted BEFORE I begin the above procedure? (Update - not necessary to Root)
2. Are there any apparent errors in the above procedure?

No your phone does not have to be rooted to do all of this. That is by far the BEST and informative procedure I've read. The only thing that is not included in the list is downloading the custom pre-rooted rom onto the sdcard.

I ran padawan but now I'm running debloated. Some reason it runs smoother on my phone
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
I have tried few other ROM before Padawan, but I like the stability of Padawan.
I am now running Telus official JB and debloated it myself. Padawan JB is AT&T based, and it is missing few things that I am looking for, but Telus has them.
I am just wishing ptmr will do a new version of Nebula, which is like Padawan, but based on Telus.
4.1.2 ends up getting laggy and extremely slow for me...clearing cache and such helps but always goes back ... I've flashed all of them .....4.2.2 is smoother on my device

Pulling together a couple of other threads from Howto root easily your Gen8 device and How to enter in recovery mode for a Archos 35 Home connect?, and with thanks to a tip from Kilawo (and a similar tip from Klaus on mydealz.de), this is how I got root on my Archos 35 Home Connect.
First, read the warnings about the risks of doing this, and if you choose to go ahead download the files as described by chrulri at Howto root easily your Gen8 device. Then use the following method to install them - strictly at your own risk:
1 Install SDE (you only have to do this only once, it will even survive a full reformat, but it will void your product support)
reboot Archos device and enter Recovery Mode by holdiing down the power button until the logo appears then rapidly press and release the power button around 10 times
choose "Update Firmware" (use the + and - keys to highlight item, and press the on/off switch to accept)
connect your Archos 35 by USB to your computer (if it isn't already)
upload the SDE file to the Archos 35
select OK using the power on/off switch to process the SDE
reboot
2 Install android firmware
Having rebooted, use the USB cable to copy the firmware to the Archos 35
reboot the Archos 35 and it will offer to "Update Firmware"
select OK using the power on/off switch to update the firmware
reboot
3 Install the custom kernel + initramfs
Having rebooted, enter Recovery Mode by holding down the power button until the logo appears then rapidly press and release the power button around 10 times (if you're too slow you'll overshoot the screen and the device will boot normally - just try again)
select "Recovery Menu"
select "Developer Edition Menu"
choose "Flash Kernel and Initramfs"
connect your Archos 35 by USB to your computer
upload zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz to the Archos 35
select OK using the power on/off switch to install the files
reboot and enter Recovery Mode by using the method above
choose "Developer Edition"
now you have temporary root (you always have to boot "Developer Edition" to get root again)
4 (optional!) permanent root - so it will always boot the custom kernel (to revert, reinstall Android firmware)
reboot and enter Recovery Mode by using the method above
select "Recovery Menu"
select "Developer Edition Menu"
select "Remove Android Kernel" and select OK using the power on/off switch
reboot
Now, using Google's Play store (downloaded via Arctools, which you can download via the pre-installed AppsLib) you can verify that you have root by installing Root Checker.
Once it is rooted. How do you get remove the bad TuneIn version that cannot save the favorite? That would be my only wish.

TuneIn is built into the ROM, so can't be removed. The only solution would be to replace the ROM, but I think that an another compatible does not exist. However you can use Google Play to install a different radio player.

I use TunIn on few devices, I added the favos online @ tunein.com.
Loged in to my account on the 35HC .. (After login it sais it failed.)
Went back to favos, and voila they were there.
I do mis some optional settings that are in the newer TuneIn
like auto start last active favo but thats just to bad for now.
