Figure out what radio is needed and flash it in fastboot. The ROM isn't compatible with the radios.
ICS -must- use ICS radios, leaked or official.
GB is capable of using a hybrid ICS/GB or ICS radio.

[Q] Please help a (Rezound) noob. Probably super simple fix.

I bought a Rezound on ebay, pre-rooted/unlocked with the leaked ICS / Sense 3.6 ROM (besides that, pretty much bone-stock)
I decided I wanted to try out a different ROM and make sure I am familiar with the process before I try to do the S-OFF process....
Well, I found that the first thing I needed to do to upgrade to (insert ICS/Sense 4 Rom here) was to upgrade to the newest Firmware (3.11.605.22), and I am currently on 3.11.605.01 ... I followed their instructions closely to update the firmware ( re-lock , load new FW as PH98IMG.zip , flash it , unlock, etc)
Well, that didn't work for me, when I got to loading up hboot and it automatically updating the FW, it didn't do what the instructions said it would, it showed a dark blue bar near the top/right, waited for that to complete, then same thing but yellow, that completed and asked to reboot, but would only reboot to fastboot...
eventually I unlocked it again and it allowed me to return to my ROM (normal ICS/sense 3.6)
Sorry about this short story... lol ^
Basically I cannot for the life of me install any rom with success... I can't even restore the nandroid I made last night (before any of this) with success..
the CLOSEST thing to success I got was installing newts One XxX sense 4 rom, it booted, and will sit on the lock screen just fine, but when I try to unlock and go to settings to turn off animations (like instructed) it will freeze and reboot....
DO I need to install the newest FW???
OR what do I need to dooo?
Pls help! I am fairly familiar with android, as I had a D Inc before this, evervolv ICS etc etc....
Thanks alot anyone !

If you want to go back to a GB rom you need to reflash the boot image that came with it. If you want a sense 4.0 to work you need to flash the old firmware patch. For the patch I have attached it. Flash it via recovery and your rebooting on a sense 4.0 rom/ new firmware rom should be gone. (don't forget to follow the OP for Newts rom about disabling animations btw) for the boot images look to the op of the rom you are running.

Ok thanks for the reply, I did install the "old firmware patch" included with Newts XxX Sense 4 ROM, and I can successfully get the ROM to boot, it doesn't operate very well, and only for a few minutes because it will freeze and reboot. It doesn't allow me to get to the settings, no matter how fast I try to get there, it ALWAYS freezes before I can access the setting :/ ...

Hmm.. wow I'm lost. I had the same issues before I installed the patch, but after I didn't and it went fine. I'm going to have to think about this one for awhile.

Okay after flashing the ^above^ patch, the rom seems to work now, it didn't freeze so I was able to turn off animations and now it works might fine
Do you know by chance any good kernels for an ICS/Sense 4 ROM?
the stock one was draining faster than it was charging (while plugged in lol)
So I tried out the 1.836 OC kernel and it seems to be working fine, but I am interested more in battery life than performance right now, coming from the DInc, this phone is buttery smooth and doesn't REALLY need OC just yet (for me anyway)
Thanks for the help by the way!

[Q] Wifi not working on rezound after tapped rom installed

Hello All,
I'm not to this forum. I'm having a very strange issue. I had unlocked and flashed a scotts clean rom to my phone. This rom worked fine. It was the cleanrom standard 4.4. Everything worked fine, but I wanted to try something without sense. So I followed the instructions and ran scott's wipe program that wipes 5 times over. Then I did a wipe on the device. From there it got stuck in a loop where I would boot it into the hboot and it would try to load that weird PH89IMG file and then reboot and do the same thing.
Believe it or not I resolved this by removing the SD card then booting to recovery then slightly lifting the battery and inserting the sd card in and mounting so that I could load another rom after mounting it. Just to be safe I did perform one more wipe. I loaded the CLEANrom tapped edition. It installed and booted up just fine, only one problem. I cannot turn the wifi on.
So I cleared the cache and Dalvik cache, rebooted. still no wifi. It sits on turning on. The wifi mac address is obviously unavailable. It went to an error evetnaully, but there was no detail in it other than the word ERROR. I tried reloading the ICS kernel as well, still nothing. I didn't see anything in the forum on this issue, so I am not sure why it's isolated to my device. can you help me?
Thanks.
I know your tired of wiping and flashing but this has happened to me before on a previous Clean Rom version. Wipe then reinstall ROM. **Caution** Before you boot to Rom, boot to recovery and flash the kernel that came with the Rom. That cleared up my broken wifi. Also beware that if the Clean Rom tapped edition uses a different base ie. 3.14.605.05 or 3.14.605.10. then you have to flash the Stock Rooted RUU of 3.14.605.05 or 3.14.605.10 and then wipe and install ROM. link to stock RUU:

I have had this issue with a couple newer ICS ROMS I have tried and it all seems to come down to reflashing the Kernel. Even after updating Nils' Roms to newer versions my rezound would load up fine and everything worked except wifi. If I went back into recovery and reflash the kernel wifi would be back to normal again. Make sure you have the correct kernel designated for that ROM as I have noticed some Kernels need to be redownloaded and reinstalled seperately. Good Luck
Hello,
I am having the same problem and I am on Rezound Pure GSM sense 3.6 rom.....I am confused whether to flash the wifi modules for the new kernel from the above link....I don't wanna take any risks as I finally got my GSM working on atnt.
Thanks!!

[Q] 4.1.2 boot loop want to unroot

Ok, I have a what i think is a rooted droid razr. I was on jelly-wizz rom and i went back to my stock rom with safestrap 3.11. My phone told me there was an OTA update that i did successfully and brought me to 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US (4.1.2). I had already manually updates the xmas leak so I was on 4.1.2 before the OTA. I erased the jelly-wizz rom slot and wanted to use the new Eclipse Razr JB v1.1 so I went threw all the steps and that and installed and activated the new rom. That put me into a boot loop. I then activated the stock rom and figured that I would start from scratch and unroot then root and start all over. The problem is i uninstalled Safestrap and didn't remove the recovery. I tried to reinstall safestrap and it takes but when i try to launch it it says safestrap has stopped and wont let me in. When i reboot, I get the safestrap menu saying it is disabled and can get into safestrap but any rom i install just puts me in a boot loop but I can boot to stock fine.
I just want to unroot and start from scratch and deleting all rom slots and factory reset does nothing. Any Ideas????
Use this to get you unrooted. It will take you back as if you never rooted, it will also delete your apps so back them up.
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/12777-droid-razr-utility-xt912-jellybean-windows-mac-linux-all-in-one/page__pid__227369#entry227369
That was actually my next plan of attack. Worked like a charm. Made me unrooted and just had to start over from scratch which is fine. Nice that Matt has a root process built right into the app. I found out that the Eclipse JB Rom v1.1 can only be used on the xmas leak and if you do the official OTA then it just boot loops. That was the other half of my problem. Will just have to look for a new rom for the time being. Thanks!!
I think Jelly-Wiz has the same problem as the Eclipse. It just puts me in a boot loop as well. Guess I'll stay with stock for the time being
I had the same exact problem with the bootloop after updating to the Verizon OTA. I guess the kernel had some minor changes or something because any ROM built for the Xmas leak caused the same issue. I've been very happy using one of the CM 10.1 nightlies. Works like a charm even with the OTA update. I also heard of a ROM called FlyingJelly that works with the OTA update but I haven't tried it myself.
How do you do the cm10 mods. I've heard about them but haven't yet. Are they any different or better. I'd assume you use cm for them instead of bootstrap?
[Edit] I found out on droidrzr.com that there are actually 6 roms that work with the .16 kernel.
Aviator
Cyclone
Black Widow HDish***
Flying Jelly***
Rage ROM
Breakneck Blur***
*** These three have the circle widget from the Razr M (I'm guessing) I'm using the Breakneck Blur one and its really nice. Just over one page of installed apps and everything works great on it so far. I hate all the bloat that Verizon and moto put on these phones that you never use and cant uninstall.

Mobile Data not working on AOSP Roms

Hello there,
I'm having some frustration issues lately with any AOSP ROM
I recently began to notice that mobile data refused to work (it only worked once on the first setup where you choose your language, etc.), after flashing a new kitkat rom. I also noticed that my phone could not hold a stable wifi connection with any router.
No amount of rebooting or turning airplane mode on/off would do anything, so I decided to flash my previous ROM that I was using earlier with no issues, and to my surprise, found it was also having this issue.
Thinking it was a hardware issue, I reverted back to stock using an RUU, and everything worked perfectly. Mobile data, wifi, everything.
I tried flashing an AOSP Rom after unlocking for a second time, and just like previously mobile data didn't work, but after flashing any stock based rom like Venom ROM, it does. Any suggestions?
TL;DR: My Droid DNA's mobile data and wifi suddenly only works on stock-based roms, even after a running an RUU
The ROM I updated to was: Omnirom 4.4.1
The ROM I had previously was: Carbon Rom 4.3.1
The ROMs with working data: Venom, stock, and everything else based off of stock.
Thanks in advance :good:

I would suggest you to flash a radio. If that doesn't work back up any data and flash any stock based rom including stock recovery. Once it is flashed let it boot and then factory restore in bootloader this will repair any radio partition.

How to downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 unlocked

I'm currently running SR Remix KitKat and I'm tired of the bugs so I want to go back to 4.3. I've tried simply doing a full wipe and factory reset then installing SR 4.3 v3.1 but it just loops the boot animation endlessly. I've tried using both TWRP and Philz Touch recovery. After restoring my 4.4.2 backup all is working but I'm back to square one. Before I set about using Odin to flash back to 4.1.2 I would like to make sure I'm not wasting my time
UPDATE:
So I decided to try odining back to 4.1.2 and after unlocking with casual everything was working until I tried updating to SR Remix 3.1. This doesn't make sense because that's where I was when first updating to SR Remix. I have one last thought. When first updating to MJ9 I started with the "Beans Official" release. Maybe I'll try that before giving up.
UPDATE 2:
Well that's very strange, I used the Beanstown official stock release then installed SR and got it working. I wonder what's missing from Sophisticated ROM that is keeping it from working.
