[ROM] Stock rooted 6.3

In keeping with my tradition of providing stock rooted ROMs, I've re-packaged the new 6.3 update. As with my past ones, this is completely stock except for modifications that provide root access. It does not attempt to block OTAs in any way, and it does not contain any extras like the Market.
This is a full ROM, not an incremental update, so it will wipe your /system partition when installing. If you're coming from a non-stock ROM you'll want to wipe data/cache, but if you're coming from a previous stock ROM you should be okay. This is tested in CWM (it's what I have onhand right now) but TWRP should also work.
Changes between this and a completely stock 6.3 ROM are:
REMOVED FROM ROM
The new /system/bin/check_rooted binary
Stock recovery image
Stock bootloader image
That goofy userdata-backup.zip
ADDED TO THE ROM
Superuser
su
busybox
CHANGES
Removed the entry from init.omap4430.rc that ran check_rooted at boot.
Set ro.secure=0 so adbd runs as root (insecure boot version only)
updater-script doesn't attempt to install recovery, bootloader, or userdata-backup.zip file since they are not in the ROM.
updater-script won't check your /system partition's size before installing. This means it will install on a /system partition that's been resized, but I have not tested this. My assumption is that if you resized /system you'll know how to handle any errors that you may encounter.
I'm providing secure and insecure boot images, as with my past versions. For those unfamiliar, insecure means adbd runs as root on your Fire so you get a root shell when you use adb to connect (i.e. you get # by default). Secure gives you a user shell (the $) by default, but you can still use 'su' to elevate to root.

So if I flash this off Modaco gr7 to get to the latest version should I be ok as long as I wipe Dalvik and cache?

I would say probably yes since it's mostly stock, but I've never tried so I can't say for certain. Worst case should be that you bootloop, at which point you can always go back into recovery and wipe data, too.

Perhaps the dumb question, shall I just download and flash it by TWRP like other CM Roms? Please excuse I am noob. Thank you

I've had CWM (and TWRP, actually) refuse to mount my cache partition in the past, and rebooting generally fixed it for me. Not sure if that's what's happening to you, though.

I recently repartitioned my KF following the guide you posted using the GNU parted method. What I did was increased my media storage and shrunk my cache partition to 350MB and userdata partition to 700MB, would those settings affect CWM in anyway? The other thing I noticed was after I get the error, I reboot and check the CWM folder to see if anything did save, and it looks like it doesn't compress the back up while saving it. I found a partial back up of 2.35GB after the error. This is a strange one
Update: okay figured it out. The problem was CWM was trying to back up the /sd-ext volume. I unchecked it in the advanced back up option and ran the back up without a hitch.

Can anyone confirm that the browser did not update to the newest version?
To access reading view, I was told "At the bottom of the display there is an eyeglass Icon tap it the screen says loading and you will have the view. Back arrow out of it."
I don't see an eyeglass icon on this rom.

It works for me, but only on certain web pages (I'm guessing ones that are text-heavy). Try viewing some random Wikipedia article, for example. The icon also doesn't appear until about a second or so after the page has completely finished loading.

Just bizarre, I am not getting it. I looked at wikepedia articles too. I am using the insecure rom if that makes a difference.
What version should the browser be now?
I have 1.0.13.328_10008910
Gonna go clear data, etc.
Well, heck, that did it. Thanks for that. Interesting feature!

Flashed this succesfully... but i neglected to wipe the system and accidentally flashed the 4.0 gapps package after. Boots fine but i am getting an android.process.acore FC and a Calender session FC. Any suggestions? I came from JC's ICS build and I am thinking of just going back to that.
Update. Nevermind. Just went back to ICS. The Stock Launcher gives me douche chills.

Swype?
Anyone who has Swype working on 6.2.1 or 6.2.2 installed this? If so can you tell me what happened to your Swype and were you able to get it working again?
I'm still on 6.2.1 (updates blocked with Droidwall) and went through so much hassles getting everything working *just* right, I'm trying to decide if the changes in 6.3 are worth potentially having to re-do Swype, market, calendar/contact sync, etc.
Edit: Any hope for an incremental update on this one? I loved the ones for 6.2.1 and 6.2.2.
Edit2: Any issues with market or calendar/contact syncs (for those of us who had set that up)?

[HOW-TO][GUIDE] So you want to install CM10 alpha on your Retail Droid Razr M? 11-16

SO YOU WANT TO INSTALL CYANOGENMOD?
SO! You might be new to Motorola, or Android, or Maybe even smartphones in general! I put together this Guide/Thread to help anyone new to the RAZR M with the installation and usage of Cyanogenmod on this phone!
First of all, i just want to say thanks to Hashcode, dhacker29, and any others who helped make this a reality on the Droid Razr M
NO ONE, OTHER THEN YOU, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING YOUR PHONE INTO A PAPER-WEIGHT!! YOU ARE TO BLAME!
Before we flash, we must understand, there WILL be bugs at the beginning. most notably, Camera, WiFi and calls are a bit wonky so make sure this will work for you!​
Requirements:
A rooted Droid RAZR M (either jellybean or ice cream sandwich, preferably jb ota)
The newest Safestrap.apk link (3.05.20 at the moment)
Rom of choice.
Now we have
CM10
CM10.1 Preview
AOKP alpha
The latest gapps for Jellybean Gapps
Steps for Installation:
0) Make sure you're rooted!!! This WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU'RE ROOTED!!!
1) Download ALL of the files above and put them in a place where you will remember, for me, i put them on the root of my SD Card.
2) Locate the Safestrap APK on the sd card using a file manager and install it.
3) Open the Safestrap application. You should get a popup from Superuser asking for permission. Allow it.
4) Next, hit the "Install Recovery" option and wait. This should only take a couple of seconds.
5) After safestrap is installed, power off the device. Once its off, power it back on. After the Motorola Splash screen, there should be a new, Safestrap screen. we're getting there!
6) On this safestrap screen, it should say "Safestrap Disabled" in red letters with the words "recovery" in the bottom left and "Continue" in the bottom right. Hit "Recovery"
7) Safestrap should boot up now. The screen will look like TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) to those that are familiar with twrp.
7.5) (OPTIONAL) Make a backup of your stock rom by pressing backup and sliding to backup.
8) Now, we must set up a Rom Slot. In the Safestrap menu, press "Boot Options" in the top left, which will have a blue outline.
9) Next, press ROM-Slot-1. System Partition and Cache Partition cannot be changed but the Data partition can. I recommend using 1 gb, unless you plan on installing a lot of apps.
10) This should take a while. After it is complete, the new Rom Slot is activated, meaning it will boot from that new slot from now on.
11) Press the home button to return back to the main screen. Now that we have a rom slot, we can install Cyanogenmod! From the main screen press "Install". It should launch and File Explorer-like UI with your SD Card already loaded. If it is on your SD Card, just scroll down until you see the rom and press it. Then slide to unlock.
12) After the rom installation is complete, we must install the Google apps (Gapps for short). When the installation is complete, hit the back button and find your Gapps package. install it like we installed Cyanogenmod. After the install, hit reboot system.
13) We are done! When you reboot, you should see the Motorola splash screen and then the safestrap screen, BUT, it will say "Safestrap Enabled" now and the picture will look different. Either wait the 10secs or press the "Continue" button on the bottom left. You should boot into Cyanogenmod
FAQ:
Q) Would you recommend installing the Cyanogenmod 10 Alpha?
A) Absolutely! Although it may not be a daily driver, its a good taste of what to come and VERY stable for a first release.
Q) Is it reversible?
A) Yes! 110%! If you want to go back to stock, but keep the CM10 on the rom slot, just go back into boot options, press the "Stock" option and hit activate. It should boot stock motorola android
Q) This is great! Who should I throw my money at?
A) Hashcode and dhacker29. They are awesome and TOTALLY deserve donations.
Q) This sucks! It made my phone come to live and eat my dog! Who do i blame?
A) Yourself. You take the responsibility for what you do to your phone. Not hashcode, dhacker or me.
If you run into errors, have questions, or any suggestions, don't be shy to post in here
Mods, I was unsure wether to post in General or Development, so if this is considered development, you can move it

Awesome guide. I have been playing with CM all day after it was released last night and loving it. However, I had trouble mounting my sdcard while attempting to install. I ended up using adb to push the zip to the new rom while in recovery and it worked like a charm. I am assuming that this might work for people without an sdcard at all. Perhaps this is worth noting? I am not quite sure, this is my first smartphone

Alright. This is definitely a good guide though! Keep up the good work.

The SD card is located as /external_SD/ in recovery, you can choose internal or external bubble but either way keep going up directories, until you get to the root, then locate the /external_SD folder
Also I suggest putting this link in op

So people can have the proper tools with which too root with or else safe strap and cm are pointless
And I have a thread in dev section with extra stuff and tips for making cm10 faster check it out maybe merge some of the links or info here?

I saw the directory, but it wasn't mounting. I have a feeling it has to do with my sdcard however. It's a pretty old card.

Are you still using the stock ROM? Flashing to the stock is disabled atm.

what paul said ^.
if you really want to flash something, try making a backup, setting up a rom slot, and restoring to the rom slot. that'll allow flashing, idk if itll work though.

Intro w/Problems CM10.1.0

Hello.
So I'm really new to all this Android custom ROMs and OS stuff. Loved the noobie video. Back when Sprint did their OTA of Gingerbread I was one of the lucky ones with the messed up GPS. I rooted. A friend recommended the CM10 custom ROM. So me knowing not much about it and he has more time to read/ do stuff with his phone, I did it. Didn't LOVE it, but it was nice.
Last night I get a OTA and in a middle of the night wake up for water daze just let the phone do its update. Now I'm @ CM 10.1.0 and I have lost ALL of my contacts, Text messages still show up but NONE have names. My google emails and the Play store do not work. I get a "clock has stopped working" screen every now and again, I'm also not getting ANY push notifications from any other apps.
I have not seen these issues listed yet.
If this is a known issue and I'm just not searching the right key words, please please point me in the right direction. I need this phone to work right.
I'm lost and I know no one local with an Epic.
I'm not sure what I need to list as far as version numbers or kernel numbers. If they are needed, let me know and I'll provide.
Thanks in advance.

From what I can see, you lost everything in an OTA from CM10 to CM10.1 and everything went bizarre, is that right? Then just download a clean CM10.1 package and THOROUGH WIPE (cache, data, system) and flash.
But keep in mind that this will clear out all your SMS, contacts, etc.
Sent from HTC Incredible S @ PACman v21

all of my apps were still there. But when I try to use Gmail or the Google Play store I get the "clock has stopped" pop up.
- No Contacts (no way to get to them either)
- No sync/ updating
- "clock has stopped" message
- No notifications from apps (Instagram, Facebook)
I DO get my NON gemail mail though.
I have the SMS backup/restore and all my contacts in saved to Google so wiping anything I'm okay with. But how do I get a "clean" version 10.1.0?
I'd assume I use the "stable' version over the nightly one?
I see a lot of people going back to 10 but I don't know how to do that.

http://get.cm/?device=epicmtd is where you get the CM10 & 10.1 zips. Recent CM10.1 nightlies are reported to have problems so stable build and M2 are recommended. Also, Bluetooth is wonky on all 4.2.x (in this case, CM10.1) ROMs so CM10 is the choice if you want it. Full wipe and flash. Reboot and good to go. Though I don't know whether restoring an SMS/contact backup works or not... Try for yourself!
Sent from HTC Incredible S @ PACman v21

Okay, well it looks like I just put it back to CM10. But there is NO Gmail Icon or Google Play Store Icon. I cannot remember how I did the SMS restore w/out the app. So I am back with a reflashed phone and NO info.

I heard @qbking77 has some awesome tutorial videos that guides you through installing CWM recovery and else. My steps here are:
1) Odin stock FC19 (or FC09)
2) Odin CWM 5.0.2.7 tar
3) Reboot to recovery via 3-key combination, wipe data and SYSTEM (!) and flash what you want
For details maybe check stickies and videos, I never followed these though

[ROM] 7/30 | Malicious MD1 | Trinity | SYSTEM=EXT2 | 9,600 quad?

DO NOT FLASH THIS ROM IF YOU CANNOT RUN MORFIC’S KERNEL! IT IS PACKAGED INTO THIS ROM!
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN BOOT AND RUN MORFIC’S KERNEL, PLEASE SEE POST #2 OF THIS THREAD AND FOLLOW THOSE INSTRUCTIONS, THEN THE FOLLOWING LINK FOR RUNNING THIS KERNEL AS STABLE AS POSSIBLE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43525267&postcount=72
AOSP KERNELS ARE NOT COMPATIBLE, SO DON'T ASK.
***see post 2 for some other recommended things to do after you get all "set up"
We’ll keep this simple. This ROM will reformat and mount your entire system as ext2. Data and cache will remain ext4. Built entirely from a stock zip of MD1. Added some vital things I felt were necessary
Modifications done
# Ext2 system
# sql database optimization at boot
# zipaligned
# init.d support
# Carrier IQ disabled completely
# Terminal emulator included
# Apex launcher included
# Trickster MOD app included
# AOSP MMS
# Busybox support
# **TSM parts does not work... Don't use it
# Latest SuperSU and binaries – should fix some issues, thanks chain for keeping this project up
# 4 way reboot menu and 23 toggles mod by foreverloco is included. Love his work, so I had to include just a little bit of it. His thread is right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056666
I highly recommend his AOSP theme as well. I didn’t include it simply because I know some people don’t like that look, but for those of you that do, give it a shot and please go visit his thread and thank him for his work if you download this ROM, buy him a drink or two. The man does hard good code work and deserves the recognition and appreciation.
Probably some other things as well, little stuff, not too important if I couldn’t remember it. This will be extremely stable and fast for those who can run it if you follow the set up method of trinity kernel (first link in this post). I have logged over 200 hours on this kernel up time with absolutely no issues, gaming, music, I do it all. So if you have issues with it, well, I’m sorry your device is a freak of nature! Haha
Also... Cannot forget to thank dwitherell for all his work, help influence AND SERVER SPACE. Haha, seriously bro thx. Same goes for many others - and of course morfic, who let's me package up his awesome work without question. Foreverloco, don't know you bro but seen you around many times while I was just a "lurker" on xda and before I created an account a little while back. So many others... Torvald's? Stallman?

Ok, so just a few things here. Simple, but will save you some headaches.
INSTALLATION****
1. Pretty straight forward. You will need to wipe data in recovery, but other than that, just go ahead and flash it. No need to wipe system manually, the formatting to ext2 will take care of this.
2. After the ROM flashes successfully, wipe data one more time.
3. After you boot successfully, IMMEDIATELY open the superSU app, and go into settings and reinstall superSU. After you do this and superSU updates its binaries go into settings and make sure the "re-authentication" box is NOT checked. Also, check "trust system user". This will potentially save you headaches guys, can't stress this enough.
4. Open trickster mod app (included) and find your way to the VERY first link in this thread, and follow that guide for set up. This will also save you some potential headaches, and will further optimize your device. These are settings I personally run myself, and they are 100% appropriate and necessary for the file system/kernel combination and ROM.
****CHANGELOG
- June 29, 2013 -
1. Initial release

K I just downloaded the ROM from the link (different than the one I have) ....
The error you were getting was FAILED...
I'll look into this in a few minutes. Probably something very small
EDIT*** sorry I didn't expound on this a bit more. It is saying "error loading updater script.
Although there are no errors in the updater script as far as dwither and I can see. I am thinking it was a bad upload and I'm gonna pull the DL link now and try again with a verified md5sum. This could be later tonight so sorry for the inconvenience guys.

K the error was a syntax issue in the updater script.

DO NOT FLASH THIS ROM IF YOU CANNOT RUN MORFIC’S KERNEL! IT IS PACKAGED INTO THIS ROM!
# 4 way reboot menu and 23 toggles mod by foreverloco is included. Love his work, so I had to include just a little bit of it. His thread is right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2056666
I highly recommend his AOSP theme as well. I didn’t include it simply because I know some people don’t like that look, but for those of you that do, give it a shot.[/COLOR]

Awesomeness..... d/l now.. will report later. Question as far as the theme goes, just don't want to flash the wrong one. Do we flash the "AOSP_THEME_MD1_Custom"? That is the one I would flash as the others are specific, want to make sure..

Update: Failed when doing step #2 Fix permissions in TWRP. In Bold RED Letter "FAILED" when fixing permission, hit Reboot and stays on Samsung Logo, tried again without the fix permissions, Stays on Samsung Logo..
Restored back up and wanted to try 1 more time.... When it gets to Formatting to ext2... either it is really quick or some thing happens here as it goes from this to installing system files now within 1 sec. Complete install less than 1 min, this time when I fix permissions it fails and when I reboot now states "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot? ughhh o'h well cant say I didn't try back to my DD.

[Q] Quantum Rom issues

Well, I don't know if this is how I'm supposed to go about doing this, but I've been having issues recently with Quantum rom, and was planning on posting them in the actual Quantum thread, but I need 10 posts to do that because 10 posts mean something important.
Anyways, Ive been fine previously just doing
1. Wipe Dalvik, cache, and system,
2. flashing rom and gapps
3. the wipe option you get after you flash (TWRP)
Ive been doing that since i started basically, until 1.9. Anything after 1.9, it either constantly crashes, has processes constantly stopping, or on one of the versions (2.1 i think) the screen would constantly flicker (which someone else mentioned happening in the thread). So i figured I should try a clean flash, so I try wiping everything and flashing, and doing the default factory reset option and flashing, neither of which helped. In fact, after doing the clean flash it made 1.9 stop working too, so I had to restore my 1.9 backup to get it working again.
Anywho, if anyone has any advice that could help me get the newer versions working that would be great, Thanks!
EDIT: I might try flashing a different rom, to see if the issues persist elsewhere, but firstly Id like to stay on Quantum, and secondly, iirc I tried one a different rom when 4.3 first started showing up in roms, and I kept having problems, to which I just went back to Quantum.

It sounds to me you have a bad download. Have you tried re-downloading the ROM? I run the Quantum ROM and I have had no issues whatsoever.
I'm also looking forward to your reply about flashing another ROM.

Well, I've tried flashing every version including and after 2.0, up to the current version, and have the same problems for each one. So i somewhat doubt that that's the problem. Ill probably try to flash somethign else some time tomorrow

Could be your recovery too. I believe the Quantum ROM developer recommends CWM than TWRP.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

If you do decide to change to CWM, make sure you revert to your TouchWiz backup first since TWRP and CWM backups aren't compatible. My best recommendation is to re-download the newest version (2.35 as of 11/7/13), and wipe data/factory reset, wipe /cache, wipe system, wipe dalvik cache, then install ROM and Gapps, wipe cache and dalvik again, and reboot.

iirc, i noticed a fair enough number of people on TWRP that I would prefer to stay on it (since it *should* work). I did, however just update it, tried again. For 2.31, i just get constant for closes on phone and SystemUI, and others iirc. Im trying carbonRom right now, and its working perfectly fine.
EDIT: I did get one SystemUI force close, on it, but its literally constant on quantum sadly.

also tried a couple random other roms, all work, but no Quantum rom will work after 1.9. I also tried just flashing it and not gapps, and i end up with the same thing. Now its just constant force closes though. I don't think i remember seeing any flickery screens like i was getting around 2.1X i think it was.

What bootloader and firmware are you using with the later quantum ROMs.... I believe that the more recent ones need the dmg2 or emj2 boot and firmware to run properly.... Also what were your settings in trickster did you disable mp-dec and UV... Were you OC using stock quantum kernel etc.

I think that the leaked 4.3 bootloader (whatever end code they gave it) isn't necessary yet, since it hasn't been officially released by AT&T. I'm personally holding off on flashing any 4.4 rom until they're a bit more mature and don't have as many hiccups (although pwncake's work is superb). The UV depends on your device and how it handles it, usually, mine needs +25 than stock but it doesn't seem to shorten battery life. All throughout 4.3, it was best to keep MP-Decision off since he built one into the rom. In the case of 4.4, IIRC from Quantum v3 beta3 and forward, he removed his own MP- Decision, so you could keep it switched on.

I just flash the ROM and boot. If I should be flashing a seperate firmware slash bootloader, I'm not (and never have to my knowledge). I couldnt have gotten to the trickster settings if i wanted to due to the constant force closes.

Would anyone know why when I enable ART mode on Quantum 4.4 Beta3 Rom, my phone continually has pop up messages with unexpected errors? -Such as calendar storage issues or the google keyboard(This should probably be in the ROM section but I can't write there.)

Can't run Quantum either. Same boat. I think it's an issue with the Core kernel and Rev0 processors.

I tried flashing the new beta 8 of v3, and it worked with the odd restart and FC on the side. But the restarts were starting to get a bit annoying so I tried reflashing, and now I just get infinite boot animations no matter what I do. And if I try to restore my nandroid backup, there's this flash every 2 or 3 seconds around the boot animation. Sigh
EDIT: actually, completely reflashing works, but still ends up with the random reboots when doing random things

sorry to hear of your problems. it is not the rom. enough folks are running it and I have had flawless installs. Read the OP and follow the directions, it works.
there is a new TWRP (from their site) that I downloaded as a .tar file and flashed with odin. flashes 4.4 roms now so you might try that rout.
my suggestion, in its limited knowledge is this:
put the rom, superuser, and the gapps on your SD card.
Reboot into the new TWRP and format the system- your phone is now blank.
install rom zip
install superuser zip
reboot.
first boot may take a bit, but not forever. Set up CM stuff and go from there

search the quantum thread about google settings. you have to turn on google now and disable notifications. also, I've been using the swift keyboard and don't have to deal with the google or android keyboard. that seems to have helped.
enable art after loading apps and be prepared for a wait for android to upgrade.
