hey. i resently updated my phones rom to Dragon ICS V3.3.2. since i have updated it each time i try to use flash on a webpage (e.g. 4od) it says "please update to the latest verision of flash. i cannot uninstall flash as it came with the rom and i cant access the flash settings bit.
Can anyone help?
you should open play store and search for flash there. probably it will offer you the update then. it happens sometimes with system apps, like gapps, flash and similar that the play store does not notify you of updates, because of broken market links.

Just bough a china retail GSM RAZR MAXX XT910. Came with Gingebread, updated to ICS 4.0.4, however it was and still is full of useless Chinese apps some of which is can't uninstall. Biggest problem is that I can not get Google Play, no matter what I do, it gets installed but keeps crashing on launch.
I contacted Motorola UK support (I live in UK) and here is the replay I got: "We are sorry to inform you that if your phone is a Chinese unit, it can only load Chinese software and it is not possible to modify it. We would like to advise you against rooting your modifying your device since the warranty would be voided."
So since there is no official way to get UK stock ICS I decided to root and install custom ROM/stock UK ROM, but to no avail. The phone fails to root and I have tried many different softwares. I am about to try Matt's razr utility.
I'm not sure that it will work and if it does, what is the specific process here? What do I do after rooting the phone?
Has anyone else had similar problems? Found a way to successfully root their china retail?
Thanks
Don't try Matts Utility,It's for XT912 From Verizon if I'm not wrong.
It seems like you have upgraded to an ICS Leak and not the official ICS.
Official ICS includes gapps (Google Apps,and yes Google Play is among them,without gapps Google play wont run).
So you got 2 options from here on:
1.Install the original ICS from China (Fastboot file flashing)
2.Root your rom,install some custom recover (like BootMenu,Bootstrap or CWM),and flash gapps from there.
Edit:
Here are the Fastboot files:

Click the thanks button if i helped .
IS that possible? I upgraded from the settings, about phone, software update, so I thought it would be official. I'm going to try installing the fastboot files you linked, it doesn't require root, does it? If this doesn't work, i'll post.
Thanks

i'd say, stay with chinese ICS, it's great.
root it, install a custom recovery (bootmenu or CWM).
download GAPPS package here, and install it through custom recovery.
and you can use titanium backup to unistall unneeded chinese apps

I'm having problems rooting the phone, and the link above doesn't even open. Is it the 1.8 matt's razr utility?
How do install the GAPPS? Not sure what custom recovery means... I can get google play, install it right now it just crashes after launch. WIll it work if the phone is rooted?
Another question: How to check for root? I know this is a stupid question but I used eternity project rooting tool and it said the phone is rooted, but when I turn it off, go into fastboot, is says: Device is locked. Does it mean it's not rooted?
Thanks
I managed to flash the stock ICS and root, now I need to install custom recovery to install Gapps. This is where my problem is, no matter what I try (bootmenu, CWM, etc, the phone only boots into stock android recovery (<3e>). Any way around this?
If you are using bootmenu, just use its widget to reboot into custom recovery.

Can you link a download of the bootmenu apk? I can't get it from play store since it's not installed which is rather ironic because I need bootmenu to install it...
Ah, yeah...
Try ask Whirleyes in his bootmenu thread. I'm sure he'll help.
Ok, installed BootMenu apk, now trying to download BootMenu Package but it stops after about 60% with an corrupted file error...
What to do?
Ok, disregard the previous post, solved everything, got the Chinese ICS, installed GAPPS using bootmenu, works perfectly.
Thanks for the help
Hi,
I own an Alcatel Pop D5 5038e which I already managed to root using The Kingo Root App, is running on Stock Rom and originally had the stock recovery. It was running on KitKat 4.4.2 and was working perfect especially with basic games like Clash of Clans. Here's the problem: I was playing COC when all the apps crashed but noticeably, the Google related ones went out first. I then tried to reboot the device but it went to a bootloop but with a few tries I still managed to install CWM thinking I could get a stock ROM and possibly just flash and fix it. First, I wasn't able to get a stock Rom for the device. Second, I lost my backup (Someone may have deleted it) and lastly, while trying to fix it, I lost screen display. I hope all these Info helps.
Thank You
So I
1. Unlocked the bootloader
2. Installed firmware 32.0.A.6.152 / R11B via Flashtool (using the built-in xperifirm, and CDA: 1298-5497)
3. rooted using the TWRP method,
4. installed xposed framework using XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk & framework xposed-v75-sdk22-arm64.zip
I've discovered my camera doesn't work properly - it launches, then crashes with "Unfortunately Camera has stopped". Strangely, the "AR Effect" app, which uses the camera, it works fine.
Could it have something to do with having xposed framework installed?
Is there way to reinstall just that camera app?
Any tips for the best way to diagnose?
Thanks
OK, I've tried factory reset (didn't work so I had to wipe from within TWRP), reflashed .152, re-rooted, and the camera is still working. Going to install all the same apps over the weekend, and test again before assuming something in xposed didn't play nicely
Same problem here but I use Google camera from Google play, and it's working very well
Same here. May we should wait for a modded camera.
I have found this bug is because of flashing the Xposed framework zip file via recovery. Uninstalling the zip via recovery using xposed-uninstaller-20151217-arm64.zip fixes the problem and you get the camera back but at the cost of losing Xposed and vice versa. Anyone got a working zip?
I was using E5823 Android 5.1.1 32.0.A.6.200 with xposed-v79-sdk22-arm64.zip (sdk23 said Android 6.0 only when flashing?) and Xposedinstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
I've got this problem on the latest Marshmallow firmware for the Z5C. The camera FCs every few minutes when I have it open and even when I'm not moving the phone around. So far it continues even without installing xposed but I'm going to try running the phone completely stock with no root to see if rooting is the issue now. I wonder if there is any solution to this on Marshmallow.
i am also facing the same issue, pls help!!!
I just got a new chinese phone but unfortunately it doesn't come with google play store installed...so i tried rooting it with most one-click app and even with their pc versions but all to no avail...i've searched down the web for a custom recovery image or even a stock rom version with playstore....i also tried installing gms package via accessibilities without success..am kinda stuck any help??
