Installing Android OTA updates on a modified device
Note that this will only work if you have stock firmware. If you have installed a custom ROM (Cyanogenmod, etc), you will first need to flash the stock ROM.
  1. If the OTA fails, get it working
    1. Look at the latest last_log in /cache/recovery to see which file is causing the update to fail

    2. Download the latest SuperSU
      http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu

    3. Unzip it and look at /META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary to determine how to restore stock files
      1. Update to 5.1
        1. Try:
          mv /system/bin/app_process32_original /system/bin/app_process32

      2. Update to 5.0
        1. Try:

    1. If you flashed recovery.img, just follow the usual rooting instructions (see above)

How To Hack A Moto Phone

  • Recommended install. This requires the official Motorola drivers from their developer site:
  • Launch the installer by double-clicking on the 'Motorola_EU_Driver_Installation_v?.?.?.msi' file (question marks represent version number placeholders).
  • 1st window: click the 'Next' button.
  • 2nd window: select the 'I Agree' radio button if you agree to the license shown in the window, then click the 'Next' button.
  • 3rd window: click the 'Close' button.
  • Connect your RAZR. Find a 'Type A' USB to 'Type B' Mini-USB cable. Connect the USB end to your PC, and the Mini-USB end to your RAZR. The Windows hardware wizard will show a series of notification balloons from the system tray as it detects and automatically installs drivers.
  • Alternative install. For drivers distributed by a third-party that have no installer:
  • Connect your RAZR. Find a 'Type A' USB to 'Type B' Mini-USB cable. Connect the USB end to your PC, and the Mini-USB end to your RAZR. This should prompt a hardware wizard to appear in Windows.
  • 1st window: select 'No, not this time' radio-button, then click on the 'Next >' button.
  • 2nd window: select 'Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)' radio-button, then click on the 'Next >' button.
  • 3rd window: click on the 'Include this location in the search:' check-mark box, enter the path to the downloaded p2k drivers, then click on the 'Next >' button.
  • 4th window: click on the 'Continue Anyway' button. This only appears when Driver Signing is set to 'Warn' in the 'System Properties' > 'Hardware' > 'Driver Signing' options of Windows XP.
