They work it's just the circle to pull down is gone. Any one who is going to attempt this realize that once you update if you want to go back by restoring a back up you have to do a full fxz. I did a save data fxz and got a fc for media it told me I had to wipe my data partition. I could not get into my sdcard so if you havent backed up your sd card you sol. You have to do a full fxz to go back to the original OS.

This should work for the mini. If you are unlocked try to flash it. worst that could happen is layout issues.
I flashed it but there is no sound. They say mini and ultra are using different audio hardware, that makes their audio drivers different..
Anyway ypu are doing a great job!

The existence of the FXZ in the OP is making me ask this ignorant question, but there's no reason why I couldn't just try this out, and if I want to return to 4.4 just restore a TWRP backup, correct?

Just a thought.. I think it would be better if supporting Rom Manager on RAZR as early as now than start porting after a custom ROM becomes available.. Like what the devs did with Clockworkmod even with a very minor issue. (Enters recovery every reboot.)

I had mentioned "Something Special" is in the works a couple days ago. As a part of this I need an clean ODEX backup of the Electrify. The procedure is as follows;
One "Factory Reset" (don't want your personal info) unlocked Electrify w/ CWM Recovery
Run Recovery and create a backup
Zip the /system/app and /data/app folder and name it as "Electrify Stock"
Upload and PM me the link
P.S.- If you happen to have ANY current 2.3 Moto Blur phone, doing the above will be much appreciated.
I will not go into what this is for but I'm quite sure some of you can guess. Don't spoil it.

No trouble. Have had the phone for one whopping day, so nice to be able to help out already.
I'm a lazy sod, grabbed the first bootstrap recovery I found for the Photon, which turned out to be sorta-port from the Droid X2, and apparently the Atrix before that. Long story short, old recovery, so spits out .img instead of .tar. You can have the whole system image for the Electrify, I'll pack the RAZR's /system/app up properly.
Uploading now, will add the links when my connection gets around to finishing the job.
EDIT:
Stock 2.3.5 Electrify system image: http://www.sendspace.com/file/5tn660
Stock 2.3.6 RAZR /system/app dump: http://www.sendspace.com/file/w7k7a4
Did his files work?
Sent from my Motorola Electrify using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
Status:
img are a no go, going need tar files that contain /system/app and /data/app. If some one can get me a tar for the Electrify I should be able to release a proof of concept shortly afterwards.
Still need tar files for other current motoblur phones.
The second link is a straight dump of /system/app from the RAZR, extracted from a nandroid tar, so that should be fine.
Will find a more recent bootstrap recovery for the Electrify and get back to you.
What do you need from /data/app ?
Sent from my Motorola Electrify using xda premium
Got things mixed up (working on parallel projects with minor differences). I've fixed the OP. I simply need system/app and data/app from clean STOCK Odexed motoblur phones in tar not img. CWM5 will do this. They need to be clean for your safety and this project. Sorry if I'm being vague or secretive about it but the project goal is for all motoblur phones.

Everything. There's actually other areas of the factory rom I could use. This may turn into a really big project, really quick so doing it in phases makes it easier.

If you screwed up your phone, just reflash your system version's fastboot file using RSD Lite. It will reflash all of your system files, no root needed. You also can easily update to jellybean because there's already a fastboot file for the update

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795493
I have been using these two roms for ever, and im always coming back to them after trying different roms.
These two roms are really tweaked with a lot of nice customing and NO Blur, marvelous battery and speed!
Simplex has more customations but is a little bit bigger and comes with Apex Launcher in it. Eclipse is a little bit smaller and comes with a smaller ''eclipse launcher'' baked into the rom. Eclipse also have reverted colours in calendar and gmail, this means black background instead of white. I would go fro Eclipse rom with maybe Nova Launcher, the standard launcher can be uninstalled with Titanium Backup. If you do not really care about customation just go for the rom clean
The two roms are so stable that I run them on my stock:slot in Safestrap, no worries...
- You need Safestrap to install, read this thread and install!
(with safestrap you can do a nandroid backup of your whole room when everything is just the way you want, this way you will never loose anything!)

A simplified answer is just remove a Motorola app and the JB download will not install because it requires ALL original Motorola apps to install. Even if you hit install it will not. That's what I did on my 2 razr's.
So if you removed the bloat it should not install anyways.

If you hit install, It will try to install the JB update but it will fail half way through the install process and giving you the message "update failed, operation aborted" or something like that. I did it on both my razrs. The only way for me to install the JB update was to use the RDS lite and fast boot the original ICS files.
I've spent the weekend trying to make a safestrap rom out the newest update from T-mobile. As far as I can tell everything is working the particular steps I did were
Disabled Wi-Fi in stock ROM before flashing
I'm not sure if this does anything but someone suggested this for fixing wifi not always coming up. I'm not sure if it matters but if you don't disable WiFi in the stock slot and WiFi in the SafeStrap slot doesn't work then mention it in the comments.
Create new rom slot of at least the default size
Flash vzwupdat.zip
Flash root, whatever other mods you may want
The kernel is still the old one, I just added the wifi drivers to the original rom to try and alleviate the issues that kept people from being able to turn on WiFi. I also added the build.prop and eri.xml from the stock Verizon ROM to fix T-CDMA64 showing as the Mobile Network.
Will you update now that the OTA for Verizon has been released?
The short answer is no. The Verizon update is the same software wise as this version. The modems were updated and some of the security binaries are updated. If you use this you are essentially using the newest software you could possibly use. Trying to modify Verizon's OTA to work with safestrap is going to be counterproductive because there is so much carrier specific branding and dependencies. This does include all the same camera updates, but to alleviate some of the problems that people have with call quality I will look into a flashable radio if someone else doesn't do it 25/10/13

On most ports from GSM to CDMA the eri is missing an entry to tell the phone "Hey, this network is called 'Verizon Wireless'." It keeps users from seeing the T-CDMA64 as their network provider. If you do flash it on your dev edition I just warn you that this was designed for being used as a SafeStrap ROM. It doesn't contain a boot.img and may not boot on the dev editions.

Backing up to a new rom slot is really just to have your stock rom on that rom slot. All that is needed is to create the rom slot and then flash this zip.

Theoretically you should be able to use it the same way on AT&T but it may just cause your network to say "Verizon Wireless" in the notification shade and the quick settings tile.

I do not believe this should occur. I would post over on the rootzwiki forum on the SS page because it is probably an issue with SS. Certain user data is getting stored differently because of how the Moto X is set up from what I have gathered. I know Hashcode just change in the new SS where he was storing certain things so that might be part of the problem. Make sure you are on the newest SS and post what occurred over there so hashcode can look into it.

Description: This is a guide (based similar to my previous guide for the Verizon Galaxy S III) that will help you flash a 99.9% stock factory image for the Verizon Galaxy S4 overwriting every partition on the device back to stock. The ONLY major change I have made is for your convenience I have modified the factory image to keep all your data/apps/settings and internal storage partition intact. This method should help you restore from any soft-brick that you may encounter without having to wipe your data.
Minor Warning: Please note that if you had any special mods that you had to manually flash before or move on the system partition (like Google Wallet, AOSP 4.2 apps like camera and gallery, etc...) they will be lost as you are overwriting your system partition to factory stock. Please make sure to do the needful with your mods before following this guide (for example resetting the Google Wallet app).

This I didn't know. So if I had a bad flash on my phone but my PC will recognize the device, I can use KIES to restore to stock??
