thanx...... installed it.... looks good.... works good..... :-)

I just installed it and it looks really nice. Thanks!

Care to post screenshots of it? I'm a bit too lazy to install and just want to see how it looks.

Debating?

I'd installed the ROM last nite works beautifully for the most part but I have notice a small percentage of my apps have crashed on me that haven't b4 the install so I'm wondering if I should reinstalled? Its possible I didn't wait long enough for the OS to settle.

Also wondering, I'm using Titanium Backup can I backup system data and restore after reinstall Arctic HD?

did you reboot again directly after flashing (as stated in OP)...... that should cure the FC... .. you can make a full backup of system data in safestrap (boot intosafestrap....... go to backup and restore..... backup.... then it can be restored at anytime, just boot into safestrap and goto backup and restore..... from there.....

I'm having trouble getting it to do the first boot - it keeps locking up on the splash screen. (yes, I'm waiting long enough. During one reboot I went out and changed the tube in a bicycle tire and took it for a short test ride).

OG Razr, rooted (of course)
Using SafeStrap 3.04
Stock ROM is 6.16.214.XT912
I've downloaded the ROM twice, and verified that the MD5 matches.
'Wipes' looks a little different on SS3 than it did on SS2, but I'm wiping 'Cache', 'Dalvik Cache', 'System' and 'Factory Reset' - and various combinations thereof.
I'm NOT wiping 'External Storage' or 'Internal Storage'.

Any thoughts on what I've not tried yet?
Thanks

mhotovec, did you install the SS3 into the non-safe side after removing SS2.xx & the SS2 recovery?
Are you plugged in while trying to do that 1st boot? Being plugged in has caused issues w/SS…

is the zip file on external or internal sdcard? ..... there has been issues when trying to flash from internal sdcard......

[mhotovec]

SpyderMan When I installed SS3 I had JUST rooted (re-rooted, actually) my phone. So there was no SS2 or previous recovery to uninstall.
I used Matt's 1.82 utility to root the phone, disconnected from the PC, then loaded the SS3 apk and followed the SS3 instructions to install the recovery.
I unplug the phone before flashing the ROM, so it's unplugged during reboot also.

Hillbilly, I'm flashing from the external SD card.

BTW, I didn't specifically mention it, but when flashing there are no error messages. It looks to be flashing correctly.

Edit: Just for fun I tried installing the Droid HD ROM, it goes in to a boot loop on first boot. I find it hard to believe that I've got three bad downloads, I'm thinking it must have something to do with the SS3 install. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall it to see if that makes a difference.

Just for fun, try unrooting it & try rooting again, also, see what happens w/SS2… run!ing out of ideas here

[arcaggelos]

anyone have a copy of the HD widget apk from matts post #737, crackflasher server is down.

**Nevermind** I saw that the d-bags at Moto made matt remove the links....all I am really interested in getting is the favorites tab in the app drawer.

WooHoo...good thing I'm lazy, I deleted the zip file but didn't delete the extracted apk's

i just noticed that you stated that you were on. 214 its possible that you may need to use matts utility and go back to stock .211 for it to work properly.... i had issues flashing the ROM on. 215......

Well, I'm not sure why, but uninstalling and reinstalling SS3 did the trick. It SEEMED like the creation of the ROM Slot in SS3 took longer this time than it did first time, but since I didn't actually put a stopwatch on either one I couldn't say for sure. In any case the ROM has booted and I'm going through the initial setup now.

Thanks for your help!

Glad its working now....

[newskate9]

Perhaps I missed it.......... this is ROM going to be updated any time? I use it, I love it, no issues. I just thought I read a few pages back that an update was forthcoming.

[melfunn]

Four words of praise for ArcticHD. I KEEP COMING BACK! It is also in Slot 1 of SS 3.04.

[timdog68]

That's odd. You are on the Arctic HD rom, correct? This method will only work for Arctic HD (and maybe Droid hd).

Are you sure the 99test script is gone from init.d? What's files are left in /etc/init.d? Sounds like something else is re-setting the cpu clock profile. Are you running any other scripts with rom toolbox or script manager?

You can try putting this file back in init.d. Save the file without a file extension (save as 99test, NOT 99test.txt) Set permissions and reboot:

any chance I can get the missing init.d 99test file, the link is dead.
Thanks

Can someone help me with a small issue? I have a escalade and i am running arctic room. I want to use my USB port to stream slingbox to my dashboard monitor. Reading the manual its says its for and Ipod. Im sure there is way to use this with my razr but im not knowledgable enough to achieve it. thank you in advance.

I hope to high heaven you are not planning to watch TV while piloting a 6,000 pound deadly weapon.

SMH.

Glad its working for you- hindsight is 20/20. Shoulda seen that if your rom d/l's were good, th: next step is to question the SS installation.

At least I was going in the right direction… Good job of finding the issue.

[mdcowby]

nicely done!

I tried to install this says not installed after clicking install am I doing something wrong.
