TWRP confirmed working

Today I had to backup my unlocked Razr M (XT905) using TWRP, wipe and then restore. I can confirm that it all worked.
I did have some issues with backing up to the external sdcard tho.

External SD really isn't well supported on the RAZR.. even in the os itself it doesn't really use it.
However that aside twrp works well on the Aussie hardware.

That link is the latest TWRP recovery for the RAZR M(Scorpion-Mini) compiled by dhacker.

Thanks cellzealot.
Tried flashing it using "fastboot flash recovery twrp-recovery-scorpion_mini.img" in fastboot mode but still got stock recovery? My bootloader is unlocked.
Help? My phone's gone crazy and kept rebooting itself randomly.

Hmm...not sure what to say. That is the image I have on my dev XT907 and should work fine on XT905 with OEM unlock.
Have you tried the one originally posted here by P3Droid?
Either should work although the updated one has better support for JB.

Thanks cellzealot. It turned out, I forgot to get adb working on my computer but after I fixed that, TWRP flashed fine.

I would not recommend trying that, CF-Auto-Root uses a temporary modded recovery to root the device. It may cause a boot loop if it doesn't get the other files it needs. I do not know for sure tbh

Thanks I appreciate the feed back, I gave it a try though work just fine for me it flashed just the stock recovery like I wanted it to c: so im pretty happy about it

So all I need is that one file? Like the. Tar file and that'll restore recovery as well? Cause I did use something like that, and It only rooted it

Yeah I checked but this device is weird as you know and I wanted a bit of assistance not wise ass remarks. I'm new on this part of xda and with a flashed phone I know some roms don't work correctly. That's why I asked not to be lazy. Check my stats I do a lot of support for the one xl. And one thing I wouldn't do was post a link to a totally different device, someone with less common sense could brick with wrong info.

My bad, I read that as G2, I apologize. I was confused as to why this was posted here. If you want a ROM that works correctly go with TouchWiz. AOSP ROMs are pretty buggy on this device, especially KitKat.

What do I need to do to go from stock rooted this is a confusing device and I also still have stock recovery

Get Mobile Odin, flash this kernel (.tar format)-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2244781 in Mobile Odin and that will give you a custom recovery

Would u recommend wiping dalvik and cache? Or is it safe to just reboot into the stock rom?

If all you flash it the kernel, its safe to reboot without wiping anything. However, I would follow any and all directions given by the OP of any ROM or kernel you flash to the letter. Otherwise, you're asking for issues. This is a confusing device, and there are so many little nuances that need to be done just right to avoid problems.
If you take nothing else away from this post, remember this website www.rwilco12.com, it will save your device if you run into issues or just need anything for the device. Every ROM, kernel and modem leaked and/or released for this device by Samsung is on there and will return you to stock in a heartbeat.:good:

Updating from 4.3 to kitkat

I have resisted updating my rooted Nexus 7 running stock 4.3 (JSS15R) to kitkat but am now ready to do so.
I know to do a nandroid backup (is doing it via rom toolbox good enough? ) and a fresh tibu backup.
But I have some last minute questions.
1. should I just accept the ota update or as recommended elsewhere should I use the file from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380113
2. will the update make me lose root? Can that be prevented? (I always have trouble getting the correct drivers to access the Nexus)
3. any other precautions?
Finally : to prevent accidental update before I was ready, I had renamed the system update file when it first downloaded. Now I don't remember where I found it and system will not re-download it with a message that verification failed.

Its a nexus device, even if you lose root, it takes like 3 seconds to root it again.. I want to say doing the ota when I first got my nexus 7 did not result in losing root, but I might be incorrect on that one..

I know that is true for most people, but it always takes me a couple of days to get the right drivers working for my windows 7 laptop to communicate properly with the Nexus. Then, once adb and fastboot can access the device, you are correct and the rooting is a breeze. That is why I cringe at having to go through that again.

The drivers are simple.. Just Google "nexus adb drivers" and download them from Google directly. Once you have them downloaded go into device manager, find your nexus, right click it, and select update driver. Choose the have disk option and navigate to the nexus drivers. Should be all set after that. I'll research where the update is stored on your device and reply in a minute.
EDIT: All updates should be downloaded to your /cache partition.

My /cache contains 3 folders
Where would I find the ota update file? Maybe I can install it directly.

If memory serves, when I looked for it before, it was in a "fota" directory under /cache. Look for a zip file.
I don't believe you can install it directly, nor would I want to try anyway.

Once you find it, delete it and then redownload it

Any trick to getting 20G update?

Hi folks,
Brand new D851 here! I want to get it fully updated to 20G before going ROM happy. I'm aware of the 20G flashable ZIP (here) but figured I'd just get it to download. The phone (new, from Amazon, unlocked) came with kitkat. I skipped the setup process and have no SIM in it; once I connected it to wireless it promptly downloaded and installed 20E. But there it sits. It doesn't seem to understand 20G should be waiting. Repeated checks for updates don't goose it along.
Is there some trick to this?
I will probably quickly exit stock, and then set up maybe Blisspop or something similar for 5.1.1, configuring for AT&T (I'm on ATT and bought the D851 due to unlocked bootloader).
I'm not shy flashing the zip I referenced above, just figured it might be better to update via the normal route if possible.
Thanks in advance!

LG Mobile Support Tool
Go here: http://www.lg.com/us/support/product-help/CT10000027-1412198655480-software-updates
Select the "Software Update LG Mobile" tab on the right.
Make sure you have the proper USB drivers installed.
The page states that the latest is 20E but I just flashed to do a trade-in and it was 20G.

Thanks. I will try it tonight.

Thanks again @mitbit2k3 . I went to the link you suggested and got the download tool; it updated my phone successfully after I installed the driver. There was a bit of foolishness about telling the device to do PC software but eventually got it connected. All is well. Upgrade only took ~10-15 minutes to download and install once started.

I think I just got the OTA notification for 20G. Were you still able to root and everything afterwards?

Thanks! Is this a 5.1.1 update? Or just maintenance?
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk

Just maintenance. Stagefright i think. It isn't clear that we will get a 5.1.1 release. May go straight to marshmallow. A shame because im not sure i want marshmallow.
