[Q] First debloat / deoxed ROM based on the new release - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Who's going to be the first debloated deoxed Rom with an interlocked kernel? I figure the asop Rom will take some time...

Stock untouched, deodexed, rooted, with busybox support.
You guys want a debloat, I can do that also.
But you can also debloat a rooted rom however you wish.

Please debloat it Santod :]

Exactly ! Isn't that one major reason/benefit for rooting ? That is, so the user can remove "bloat" ?
Know what will happen ? You'll create a debloated version and some will complain that you removed "that program" or "this program" !!

Noob question - Debloated ICS
This might be a dumb question and if so, please forgive me. I learned to root and flash ROMs in December, I'm currently running Liquid ICS v1.5 MR3.But I don't know a thing about kernels and I'm wary of flashing radios. So my question is - is Santod (or any developer for that matter) working on a ROM for the official ICS that you can just flash (without messing with radios and kernels and other steps)? Is that what he/they mean when they say they are working on a "build". I'm "ok" flashing ROMs and I'd like to have the "official" ICS, but if it requires that level of technicality, I'll unroot and download the OTA.
Any info you could provide would be helpful.

Thanks! I saw that when he posted it, but based on the instructions (as I read them) you have to flash the radio THEN the ROM. Am I not understanding the instructions? That was my concern - bricking it while trying to flash the radio.

Correct.
Flash the radio through bootloader.
Then the rom in recovery.

if you got as far as rooting and flashing a rom, then you can flash a radio. don't be afraid of it. it's no more difficult than flashing a rom, and much easier than actually rooting.

Thanks

There are multiple mirrors on the host server.
Did you try any of them?
Nobody else has been having any issues.
Not one report actually.
Try from a different browser and mirror.
Downloading via mobile rarely works and is not recommended.

I tried downloading it from my phone yesterday...no dice. I was able to download it on my computer and transfer it to the phone though.

Tried all different kinds of things. Couldn't do it on the laptop usign wi-fi. So then I used the actual phone and I was able to do it in about 15 minutes using 4G. Thanks!
One other question. If I flash your NuSense Unsense ROM (but don't change the radios) will I have the basic functionality of the "official" ICS? I love the lack of data drops but I HATE the "sense". Could I use an "old" ROM and a "new" radio for this stability?

Getting a no MD5 file found error during install. Does that mean anything to you guys? Just started looking into this stuff yesterday and rooted it so I could get a hotspot.

Either place the md5 for the rom zip on the sd card, or remove the md5 sum check that the recovery is doing.
There should be a setting to disable the md5 sum check in Recovery.
MD5 sum is a digital signature that verifies that the file is complete or not.
Just disable the check for it and you can install without it.

What exactly is this? I mean, I get it's a ROM and it's Sense, but what's special about it? I only ask because we've got quite a few Sense ROMs out, just want to know what you've done so far.

Thanks for the feed back guy's/girl's. I'll try and solve the issue, but it's quite tricky building a Rom for a device you can't test on. expect another link up later on today.

Well I love that the sense rom development is in full swing but lack of battery and the lag annoys me so very much. and I chose to share my work with a community that can appreciate it. this Rom has been sitting on my pc for some time, I was expecting an upgrade but I'm still waiting and I want to have a flash ready Rom for when I get the device and also after I root it.
@OP - the sideload errors people are getting in your zip is:
1) use edify if you are using amend
2) the update binary needs to be API v3

Not those might be something else. Has any one tried a full wipe and.install?
I did a superwipe and then had the sideload error7 on any and everthing that i tried to flash. I ended up running the stock rom through the bootloader to fix issue then re rooted the phone.

It's just a system dump from the Motorola Electrify. It's more or less the same as our stock system dump.

superuser in stock dump?
@shabbypenguin,
I was reading through your AIO root thread and it occurred to me that I had rooted prior to extracting the system dump that is posted in op as "Stock". Therefore, there is a version of superuser present in /app that I assume may not have been there as delivered. Of course, I may be making an incorrect assumption.
Is it appropriate then to call this stock, or is it a given that rooting would have been necessary to perform the dump in the first place?
I also don't know if this would affect your deodexed version?
Just wondering if this fact needs to be mentioned somewhere, unless I just did.

First off, thanks for all your efforts to provide us with this...
Second, root is a requirement for the dump and so even with the Superuser app, what you supplied is most definitely stock.

This is simply a stock from from the Photon's "sister," the Electrify. No one has even identified if there are any benefits/improvements hidden inside this ROM, much less how compatible it is with the Photon.
Just because something IS flashable doesn't mean you SHOULD flash it. OP was very clear - this is for devs only, not public consumption. If you don't know enough, then you're better off exercising some patience and waiting for further announcements.
actually im gunna guess that the man has an electrify and my cwm script is busted
I would venture to guess that you guys will have the same issue we do with the photon roms. As other members on my team verified that root, recovery, kernel and unlock work from the photon. The kernel needed wifi fixed which was pretty simple. In which I pm'd shabby about earlier. The roms also work but some things need fixed to get it working.
I don't know all the details besides what weasel told myself. But mms, 3g I believe works but going back to stock it wouldn't, eri says sprint, blur e-mail fc's and activation for sprint kept popping up to where you have to skip it. Weasel has fixed most of the stuff in the homebase port. I believe e-mail still fc's and mms is still broke.
But here is the first deodex rom weasel and myself did if you want to add it to the first post. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=265
Then here is the kernel shabby did with wifi fixed ready to install. Only rc-1 since wifi was broke in rc-2. If the electrify people want to install it just grab it from shabby's thread. There was reports of 3000's+ in bench's. Not sure of rom it was on but I would venture to guess our stock rom. http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=334
Then here is the port for homebase weasel is playing with http://2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=268 if you guys wanted to look at it.
i would gather a lot of frameworks issues, as with services.jar would happen between the phones.
edit: you keep saying you fixed wifi. but the only way to fix it, is by rebuilding the modules using my config file.. which only i have...
unless im missing some other way to replace it?

ROMS

I am kinda new to all this. I just inherited the thunderbolt from my brother bc my other phone is dead. I am rooted and s-off running santod's Official Thunderbolt ICS deoxed debloated. My question was if I am able to switch to one of the older ROMS like NuSense ROM or UnSense ROM or anyone for that matter that I feel like. I know the process of flashing since I have gotten this far, but I don't want to flash these and then be in some sort of loop with problems.. Thanks in advance:good: Also are radios universal or.. I keep seeing people say just try a different one?
You can flash any ROM you like.
As for radios, look in the post about the ROM, they usually specify what radio is best for that ROM. The newest radio is defiantly needed for the new crop of ICS ROMs based on the official OTA as the older radios cause issues.
Only thing I can add to the first response... Always make a backup first. So when you somehow get into a bad flash/bootloop situation, you have an easy way back to a working device. Also verify your download by checking it's md5 code before you flash. Almost (if not all) files you download will have it listed with the download link on the forum op you're getting it from.

If you just want stock root and keep the unlocked bootloader and custom recovery, you should be able to flash this in recovery.

If you want to re lock without custom recovery you're going to need help from someone else as I've never done it and wouldn't want to give you the wrong info.

[Q] I'm on stock mk2 i want to update to newest + root

Hello guys, I am on stock mk2, 4.3 with root, and I just downloaded safetrap 3.71 haven't installed it. Im familiar with flashing via twrp, however Im not sure which method to use. There are alot of different methods from downgrading to upgrading. What is my best option? Will i need to update modem+kernel?
i can only recommend visiting my thread and downloading 1 file upgrade. either the Complete Package which has all the apps modems modules ect you'll need or just the NC2 or NC5 1 file upgrade you flash in Odin 3.10 for the safest and easiest upgrade possible since your already on 4.3 rooted with safestrap then you don't really need to worry about downgrading as you shouldnt have to downgrade. Just avoid OTA/Full System Odin Flashes and well anything with bootloaders in them... at least thats what I'd do if I was you

I was particularly looking into this method: 1545_MK2toNC5_KeepRoot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2749660
why is it bad flashing this OTA? Also just from reading posts, if I flash full nc5+root i had to flash modem + patches? or am I incorrect? This phone is going to be for someone else, So i want to stick with stock + root as much as possible. One key feature it must have is wifi tethering.
Also, what method are you suggestion I use in your post. method1 or method2?

That's the way I did it (munoz_ri's I545_MK2toNC4_KeepRoot), starting with clean MK2. One small flash and a reboot and it's done.
If you're starting at MK2, that's the fastest way to go.
If you're starting at NC5, use Surge1223's or Gigilie's upgrade. techguy2002's directions are easier to follow than Gigilie's IMHO.
Here's some very well written instructions for gigilies method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2769480

I didnt know. I just finished flashing the ota and seems to work fine, apart from getting auth issues from hotspot. But this phone currently doesnt have service(activated) so i cannot test the hotspot. But things seem to work well. Whhy would i need a different bootloader, and how can i tell which version I am on?

Mk2, NC2, and NC5 are all valid bootloader as well as ROM bases and it might matter which combo you have if you run into bugs down the road.
