[Q] FastBoot Files - Motorola Droid RAZR

When I first bought my phone, it had Gingerbread on it, then I got an OTA update to ICS from Moto, and after that I rooted my phone and installed custom ROMs, does that mean my kernel also changed with the OS or am I still running the Moto ICS Kernel?
Can one update the kernel only by Manufacturer OTA? If not, then why is there so much emphasis on going back to stock ICS before trying the leaked OTA of JB or trying any ROM built for JB kernel? if i directly install the leaked JB OTA wont i update my Kernel also?

Does anyone have a link where I can get Fastboot files of MotoBlur ICS Asia Retail?

Yes your Kernel also has changed when you moved to ICS. If you have not messed around with your stock Kernel you can directly update to JB , I have done it.
But you better keep your fastboot files and RSD lite ready just in case u brick .

No i havent messed up with kernel ever, so can i just flash the zip from safestrap like any other rom file?? Moreover, upon flashing will i lose my root permissions & apps requiring root permissions/ my recovery softwares like SS3/CWM etc etc.??
What do i need RSD lite for?

[Q] From GB to ICS - Do I need updating Bootloader?

Hi guys
I've just downloaded stock LP4 rom but it's only 1 file.
I9100XWLP4_I9100OPSLP4_I9100XXLPS_HOME.tar.md5
Changing from GB to ICS, I need to update bootloader, so in Odin, do I need to check update bootloader when I have only the above file or do I need another file for bootloader... OR this only 1 file will do the job and I don't have to check update bootloader?
Thanks
It would most likely update bootloader automatically. If you don't want to update the bootloader, download one of Wanam's odexed or deodexed stock roms. You can just flash it in CWM.

Agree with Elisha - you don't have to upgrade the bootloader in most cases but I'd advise paying very close attention to the ROM instructions - it probably says something there about exactly what to do.
What ROM are you installing, and what are you coming from?
I'm thinking about Sensation 3.3 by Crysis or Hydrogen rom.
I'm coming from MIUI GB 2.3.7

The MD5 file package contains everything including bootloader, this you can watch on the ODIN while flash process, which start from bootloader if I am correct...
While moving from GB to ICS, if the bootloader update is a must, it whould have listed by every devs at the top of evrey ICS custom ROM installation manual, that you have to update Bootloader or to falsh a stock ICS Rom before flashing this ROM.....no where it is found.....so my conclusion is it is not a must, please correct me if I am wrong....

You're right
Updating bootloader is not necessary, even on cm9 as no bugs have been found
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
i found its better to have ICS bootloader for one reason only , triangle away
plus only CM9 requires a specific ICS bootloader, it will work on GB loaders just fine but if you have a newest ICS loader, only than you need to downgrade and that is posted in that thread and that loader is available easy.

just to let you know incase you dont know MD5 is a checksum / file verification. tar is a package
intratech merged that so one dont have to test everytime if he got curropted file.
odin auto checks it and let you know if you failed MD5 check.

Ok, so I've done as suggested and flashed stock ICS and then Hydrogen
I can't understand why I can't save images on my EXT-SDCARD..
but mostly.... which kernel should I choose?

Ok now the final question would be: What exactly is the benefit of the ICS Bootloader over the Stock Bootloader on the SGSII? also would like to mention that even if the wiki states that on CM9 : "You don't need to. There are currently no reports of issues having not flashed the bootloader. However, if you flash the ICS bootloaders, you can't reset the download count with a JIG any more." There needs to be a reason why they mention on the instructions on how to install the CM9 ROM the following: " - Make sure you're running ICS bootloaders lower than LPH: Download (flash as PDA with odin or extract and $ sudo heimdall flash --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin)" Even if there is no visual difference as confirmed by previous posts there needs to be a difference between stock and ICS bootloader otherwise it would be pointeless to even mention it exists.
Right now my SGSII was rooted while being on stock GB 2.3.4, then installed the RR 1.9.1 up to 2.6.1. Now decided to give CM9 a try but found on the instructions the ICS bootloader thing and now I am confused why would I keep the stock bootloader? or why should I move on to ICS bootloader?.Does the bootloader affects battery performance in any way?
Once JB arrives should the bootloader need to be updated or will the stock bootloader still work?
PD: using the USB jib I took the yellow triangle away, would it return if the ICS bootloader is flashed?
Too many questions, It will be greatly appreciated if someone takes the time to answer them.
Thanks in advance,
anyone knows?

usb jig only clears the triangle and the counter in old gb bootloader
and bootloader got nothin to do with battery life
flashing the bootloader will not increase the binary count... but after flashing custom rom obviously the kernel will not b stock so the yellow triangle wud appear
u can use triangle away app by chainfire it helps u clear the yellow triangle and the binary count in a click
..
and regardin jelly bean ... will see when it arrives .. for now ics bootloader will work
still i don't see the benefit of flashing the ICS bootloader. but thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. now I know that the yellow triangle will appear with the ICS bootloader.

[Q] How to undo ICS firmware update?

Hello,
I updated my SGS2 to the 4.0.3 firmware from my previous 2.3.6 Gingerbread. After the update my phone lags a lot and the ICS keyboard for texting lags and just sucks.
How can I flash my ROM or whatever it is back to Gingerbread? I don't like this ICS and would rather run GB on my phone. It looked "nicer" in my opinion and ran much much smoother.

You can not undo the the update, per se. You can flash back to stock 2.3.4. If you want to do that, follow the guide linked in my signature to prepare the phone to return to the store.
There is no stock 2.3.6 available.
You can also flash stock plus root 2.3.4 or 2.3.6. For this, you can follow the guide linked in my signature about installing custom firmware without incrementing the flash counter. You would have to get the 2.3.6 firmware from the Download Repository.
In any event, since you will be changing firmware base, you will have to perform a wipe data/factory reset. The instructions are in the guide. You will lose all installed programs, personal settings, contacts, text messages, etc, unless you back them up.
Lol here comes the flood! Get the life boats ready! The "how do I undo this **** stock carrier updates suck wtf " revolution is here!

Once a person commits to dumping the stock 4.0.3 back to 2.3.4, it's a matter of time and reading before they will flash a custom rom.
ICS has too many added features to give it up. If you know that you can go back to 2.3.4 without issue, why not flash a custom ROM.
I believe you can call AT&T CSR and ask for help.
Should AT&T have provided the instruction for reversing back to GB?

Well, this is not entirely accurate. If you flash the stock 2.3.4, you can still do the OTA (over the air) 2.3.6 update from the phone (Settings -> Software Update, IIRC.) We just don't have it dumped and ready to flash from PC. Be aware that this will be a huge hit to your data, so you should use WIFI if possible (it's free at most McDonald's.)

If I flash back to stock 2.3.4 (without root), will I be able to use the OTA updates to get back to 2.3.6? Or will there be a problem since I used Odin to get back to 2.3.4?

Yeah, I thought about that. I don't know if I want to get in that cycle of addiction
Any you recommend? I tried various ROMs with my Galaxy S, and it seemed like there were a few that had deal-breaker issues, like sleep of death and freezing, but it could have been the phone too. It was just hard to know which one to use.

+1 this is exactly what happened to me. Upgraded to at&t's ics, hated it, and it made me decide to root to get rid of it. As i was doing research on how to root I found xda, and have never looked back. I am now officially addicted and feel like a papparazi: always looking for new stuff to "flash"

Will it work?

Ok, my atrix is running a Faux 1.3ghz kernel, CM10 v2.0 by jokersax. I want to get back to stock as possible. My backup of my original is no longer with us. Can I install fruitcake 2.3.6 with webtop with this kernel or do I need to flash a different one? If so, which one. I can use CWM well, but just don't want to brick my only phone before I upgrade in Oct.

You should think twice before you give out advice like that. Flashing through official methods is a sure way to brick your phone.
well, If I wanna to go back to stock i have stock SBF file, but I've got INTL Atrix so I won't get brick
I am considering making a youtube video of restoring my Atrix to stock using rsd because a lot of people think this is like crawling over a live landmine. It is totally *safe if you know what you're doing.

Simple. Just flash the 2.3.6 fruitcake and webtop as you suggested, then flash a Faux 1.3GHz GB kernel. Make sure to do a full wipe via fastboot first.
Don't flash SBF's. That should be considered a last resort!

[Q] Phone only boots after removing the battery

Hi there,
I recently encountered a very annoying error with the MT15i of my girlfriend and I can't make any sense of it. If the phone is powered down, it usually won't turn on anymore (with rare, unreproducable exceptions). I have to remove the battery for a few seconds and then everything is fine again. Using a "reboot option" in android works fine.
I already tried different kernels (suave, super stock, lupus) and different roms, even stock. Right now I am running Ultimate HD 2.0.3 (because the newest version won't boot).
The bootloader is unlocked.
I hope you can help me find the cause of this error.
Best wishes

strange problem try changing the rom
by the way switching on the phone has nothing to do with rom
it's kernel related
it can be a hardware issue
try locking the bootloader if testpoint method was applied and revert back to ics and sort problems through catlog
First of all, thank you all for your suggestions.

I unlocked the bootloader using the method described at https://sites.google.com/site/projectfreexperia/download/bootloader-unlock , should I still try to relock the bootloader?
As I mentioned in my initial post, I already tried using the original firmware, i.e. stock ICS and sadly, it did not work.
Will a logcat give me information about the shutdown and startup process? Is there any way to get some sort of "kernel log"?
Is there any way to find out, whether it is hardware or software related?

As I mentioned before, I already tried flashing stock ROM and kernel ( 4.1.B.0.431 and 4.1.B.0.587 ) and both of them didn't resolve the issue. The phone still will, most of the times, only boot after I removed the battery for a few seconds.

If you're tab is up and running you can grab the zip and flash it from recovery...just wipe cache and dalvik cache...flash kernel..but you need to make sure that kernel will boot with the ROM you have flashed...
If you're looking to just upgrade to the newest version of overcome. I would suggest you to get the zip file..wipe data,cache,dalvik cache and format system...then flash the ROM zip from recovery...
Also...are you're recoveries on this device separate from you're kernel or tied together...

Edit...I just read that if you trying to flash cm 10.1...you need to restock because of the partition changes...

Second or third paragraph in the guide you linked me to...
Also, based on experience, if you want to upgrade to other ROMs in the future you will have to keep your stock GB ROM file, your gt-p1000_mr.pit, the dbdata.tar and the entire Overcome kit (kernel and ROM). You will need all of them in the future because I've found that to install a new ROM you have to repeat the entire process of restocking to GB, then installing Overcome Kernel and ROM, then installing whatever ROM you want. It sucks, but it's the only way I've seen so far.
My take on this is that you need to go back to stock GB...then overcome...I'll read more to make sure..just thought I'd share this real quick as I just seen it..

Read that guide you linked...man. The answers are there for you...I just read some more of it...
But basically...you need to go back to GB...but first you need to flash the pit file from Odin to repartition the partitions...then Odin the GB ROM ...then overcome..its all in that guide...read...read...read.
If you have any questions about the the process let me know...

If you're on stock GB .. I would assume you can flash overcome...that's how I read it...but flash the ROM. It has the kernel in it. I don't know if the overcome kernel will boot on stock GB. I didn't read that far. Maybe its a GB kernel. If it is..you can flash it..I assume.
You know what..give me a second and I'll read a bit more...don't want ya getting messed up..

Man...there is a great guide with pics if you click on the Google docs link...anyway.
You need to flash the overcome 4.0 kernel tar using Odin...let it do its thing..it changing system files. It will boot. After it up...boot to that recovery and flash the wipe all zip( put this on youre device before you flash the kernel )..reboot. You should now be able to flash any ROM you want from this setup..
