[Q] Camera Freezing up when going to take photos - Motorola Droid RAZR

this has been going on for a week now, I upgraded my phone to the OTA 4.1.2 Jelly bean updated, I used OTA Root Keeper to keep my root access, and Im beyond lost, I dont know what to do now, I open my camera app after rebooting my phone and its working its showing everything moving but as soon as i hit the button to take a picture it crashes, I have formatted my phone twice, I have a backup saved on my safestrap but its pre jelly-bean, I never did one after i did the jelly bean update and im scared to do it because Im sure that would boot loop my phone

Do you need root? If not you can always Rsd lite using fast boot file to stock and start fresh

I would try replacing the apk for your camera app, as it may be corrupt,or just use a different camera app. Stock isn't too great anyways.

Try a third party camera app and see if it works.
If it was just s/w problem, should have worked after fastboot.

My sincere apologies. *I did not want to garner any undue hostility to jcase or viperboy as the Root process was not at fault in any way.
It was only what we all happened to do once we had it. (deleting bloatware)

3 attempts so far and each time after the firmware downloads and the prime reboots, right after the Android with the gears shows up he turns into an android with an exclamation mark.
Then after a 5 minute boot I get a system message that says:
Post here if you failed too, and solutions you have.
Attempts:
first - Device was nachorooted, root backed up via OTA rootkeeper. FAILED
second - with root disabled via OTA rootkeeper FAILED
third - removed root via viperboy's tool FAILED
fourth - factory reset then update FAILED
fifth - just going to repeat the stock attempts until something looks different
No idea if this would work but maybe use that tool viperboy made to unroot yours and then try (pretty sure it has an unroot option)? Not sure why that would help since rooted users have successfully updated but may be worth a shot.
sorry forgot to mention that was my 3rd attempt
i'm on #4 now just doing a factory reset first.
Having this same issue. Not sure what the problem is, but it keeps failing.
I too am rooted.
Trying out this E4GT...
exact same thing happened to me, except I have no idea how to try to update again, when I go to about phone, system update, the check update box is greyed out.
How exactly do you factory reset on .33 with the .33 zip on asus's website?

method 4 failed as well, any ideas anyone?
How are ya'll able to try the update more than once? Are you just talking about reboot or are you actually downloading the update again? the reason I ask is that I am unable to click the check update button.

I'm following what you mean.
edit:
when I click system firmware update the "check update button is grayed out but it just starts downloading in my tray automagically.
Rest all data, unrooted, still no luck. 4 failed attempts, not sure what would be any different from the rooted users that are able to update.
This is why you guys shouldnt have rooted knowing ICS was around the corner.
I too am getting failed. I used VipreMod to root and I've tried unrooting using said tool and also using the OTA root backup tool.

Some Tips of Razr:​
- when the phone is freezed or you are in a bootloop, you can force the device to power down, just push & hold Vol - and Vol+ and
power buttons at the same time for 10 seconds, the phone will be shut down
- for going to boot menu, first turn off the phone, then push & hold Vol buttons and power button at the same time
for about 10seconds, then you will enter to boot menu, now use Vol - button to scroll and Vol + to select an option.
- for going to Stock Recovery, you have to select "recovery" in boot menu, then you'll see a black screen with Android triangle in the middle, now you have to push Vol - + buttons at the same time to enter to recovery

I have xt910 & i dont know about versions of verizon, if you are on 2.3.5 now so you can revert simply with rsd lite & no need to unroot,
But if your current android version is 2.3.6 you have to take a look at this thread:

You may want to add after flashing a stock rom in RSD, if you are stuck at the moto logo, to reboot into recovery and do a system wipe again to fix.
I got stuck with the Android triangle! I think I read somewhere to tap all 4 corners then hit home. That didn't work but I got the power button and that did the trick. Went straight to stick recovery and I rebooted the phone. We'll return today and get another although it pisses me off because I bought a new phone last week and afaik the replacements are refurbs

Its clear with other roms - Retail, O2 & T-Mobile. But i dont know what means DATDE..
can you please send me a build prop file for umts spider xt910 please to [email protected] please

Which fastboot file can I use for a Verizon Razr?

[Q] I have absolutely no signal

So, last night I decided to update to one of the CM 10.1 nightlies. I haven't updated in a while and thought why the heck not? So I used the option built in the Settings app to update. I pressed download and waited for it to finish, then hit install and went to sleep while it installed. When I woke up I had no signal. Not even 2g. No calls, texts, data, you name it. Gone.
So I have spent at least 6 hours re installing old versions and scouring the internet and no one has an issue exactly like mine.
Here's a screenshot of what the settings look like:

Just flash in recovery. Probably best to use the newer which is the VRALL4. If this doesn't fix it you may want to try a clean flash with a full wipe.

Very odd. What recovery were you using? I'm not on cm 10.1 so I'm not familiar with the updater but did it give you options to wipe any data or caches? And did you reflash gapps after updating?
If you can get a wifi connection you could always try and flash TWRP through the goo manager app. Just a thought.

You should be able to install recovery from the goo app. Open the all, then hit menu, then install openrecoveryscript. Confirm and see if will flash it.
Had this problem many of times on a gs3.
Calm down, I may be able to help you.
In the settings picture you posted. The my phone number was out of sight.
If the spot said Unknown.
You may be in luck.
But anyways do this either way.
Make sure you back up any thing you don't want to lose.
Boot into download mode.
Flash a stock unrooted official version. I believe this will also flash the modems and radio as well.
Check your signal and phone settings now.
I would expect nothing has changed signal wise.
But if you still have problems you open up dialer and call this phone number
*2767*3855#
Now your phone will cook up some magic and everything will be like the day you opened the box
However if this does not work, I would consider a new sim card (free at Verizon), try and do some more research
Or accept the fact you may have a hardware problem.
Feel free to pm me to let me know how it goes.
God bless the American people.

PLEASE Help!!!

So, i had my phone off for awhile, and on my bed, i was using my sim to try to network unlock an old tablet. tablet wont unlock, so i go to put the SIM back in and reboot the phone, after 5 min i notice i am stuck in a bootloop. so ive tried using ADB to boot into recovery, and i cant....and ive tried getting into recovery via hardware....no possible way???? so basically i have a phone, that when put into fastboot, wont connect to ADB, and that means wont boot into recovery....totally stuck in a loop, been half an hour now. can anyone help me??? ive tried using a mac to use ADB (no drivers) but still no success. PLEASEE. ADB wont connect (and I had the same issue right after root. ADB worked one time, the one time i needed to flash TWRP, and then flash Debranded, Debloated, Deodexed H901-10c ROM for T-Mobile LG V10 (LG-H901) - Clean & Stable by @siraltus, which it is an amazing ROM, and i dont think this had anything to do with this. but please i really need to get my only phone working. if this is in the wrong section please wait till i get an answer to flag it...
All you have to do is make sure the phone is off with the battery in, then hold the volume down button and insert the micro usb cable to your computer, it'll boot up fastboot.

So, the power vol down actually brings you into recovery instead of a factory reboot. Didn't know that. After I got into recovery, I did a back up. a system wipe did nothing. So I reflashed the v10 stock non root and reflashed the @siraltus ROM over top. then restored data. Its like it never happened. Thanks again guys!!! Issue resolved

Power+Vol Down always takes you into recovery. On stock recovery, it automatically triggers a factory reset, but with TWRP, it just boots it.
Glad to hear you got your problem resolved. Nice work guys.

General Root seems to be broken on December update / don't flash until it's solved

There is some talk in the P6 race to brick Telegram group, it seems that the december update is causing root to fail.
So until this is fixed/solved, DO NOT UPDATE IF YOU WANT TO RETAIN ROOT.

He is working for the enemy now, was only a matter of time for problems to arise since he already stopped supporting MagiskHide at the behest of Google^^
Maybe Magisk just needs an update, maybe we have a bigger problem, we'll see
Nah, he'll find root or another Magisk developer will.
Cant we flash a patched stock boot image after the problem is solved?
As OP stated, do not update to December if you want to keep root. I did before I checked forums and lost root. Rolling back to November to hopefully regain access to root.

Please report back if its possible to roll back
I don't see any update when I check for update on my Pixel 6.
Do I need to something to get the update? I ma not rooted and hence do not worry about rooting.

Tread carefully, someone tried dirty flashing which then required a clean flash.

Yup, dirty flashed failed and requiring a clean flash. Good learning experience and lesson for me, don't jump the gun with the newest updates.
Assumptions made when I flashed December update on 4A 5G without any problems... c'est la vie.

You'll likely have to use the Google reset to factory process to ever use the phone again. I haven't rooted my Pixel 6 yet, though, so I can't confirm. But that's how I fixed a bad Pixel 5 update.

Google Pixel - Update and Software Repair
Need a USB cable and Chrome (I think, never used a different browser for it).
Again, I can't confirm this works but it's just an educated guess

just try it, only work up to google 5
Okay, so for anyone else here who tries to root using the December patch and gets stuck on the Google logo screen, here are the steps I took to fix it:
1. Hold down the power button until the phone turns off
2. Enter fastboot via holding down the power button and volume down
3. Attach a usb cable to a computer, download the factory image zip, then extract it
4. Once extracted, double click on "flash-all.bat," this will reflash every single component of the image to your phone and once it's done, will reboot and should boot as if nothing ever happened.
