Introducing Batakang ROM for the Verizon DROID RAZR HD and the Atrix HD. Both devices run fine on the Verizon DROID RAZR HD firmware, and only require 1 ROM for both of them. Batakang ROM (test 12) is build from Hashcode's stock ROM and updated to the official DROID RAZR HD Jellybean by myself. Credits go to Hashcode for his stock ROM and his Safestrap 3. Without him no ROMs would be possible on this device!
Changelog:
12/2/2012 - Test 12. Updated base to official DROID RAZR HD Jellybean.
12/3/2012 - Test 13. Added busybox. Added OTA Update Center support for SS3 auto-updating by dhacker29.
12/12/2012 - Test 14. Added init.d support..
Swtiched from Superuser to SuperSU to fix root issues. Wipe if coming from Test 13 and before!
12/12/2012 - Test 15. No more included Gapps. Flash the 4.1.2 Gapps after flashing Test 15. Do NOT update Google Now (Voice Search) unless you like blank screens on it.
12/13/2012 - Test 16. An 'official' BatakangROM Gapps package is now used. Fixed hopefully all issues with force closes on previous test. Play Store working right away, Google Now works... as always let me no what problems.' Also, TabletUI will no longer be supported officially. You have to change the build.prop line for it yourself starting from now on. Uploading the same build twice just wasn't working out.
12/13/2012 - Release 1.00. CPU Sleep removed (wasn't working). Tethering fixed by default(maybe). Changed version name out of Beta
Known Bugs for DROID RAZR HD (as of Release 1.00):
[If Tether does NOT work out of the box: Download SQLite Editor and change line 67 (entitlement_check) of [Settings Storage > settings.db > settings] from a 1 to a 0. Reboot. WiFi tether and USB then should work.
You tell me.
Be on Jellybean on the DROID RAZR HD (Non-Dev Edition). This can be the leaked or official.
Make a ROM Slot in any ROM slot.
Please go to SS3 main menu.
Choose 'Wipe' and then 'Factory Reset'.
Install the .zip (flash it!)
Then flash the latest official Gapps for the BatakangROM.
Reboot into the ROM.

doesnt work for me
My phone reboots to the safestrap screen and just flashes over and over,, bootloop? followed the instructions
Make a Rom Slot in Slot 1.
Choose 'Wipe' and then 'System'.
Please go to SS3 main menu.
Choose 'Wipe' and then 'Factory Reset'. Wipe it or you may be very sorry. Just ask Markyzz
Install the .zip (flash it!)

Leave it to a batman wallpaper to convince above all other rooms this is the best and I have not even flashed. Lmao. Thank you very much for your hard work brother.

Evidently you need to restore a backup to the ROM Slot of your stock ROM before flashing. Adding this to the instructions.

The wallpaper is not selected as default, but IS an option in the included launcher (When you hold down on the homescreen to choose wallpaper, its one of the choices. )

Binary updater fails to gain root access.. shucks.
Edit: I reflashed. After rebooting, went into super user, updated binaries (root access gained.) After binaries were updated, i downloaded titanium backup and could not obtain root. Wtf?? Went back in to super user, attempted to update binary, root could not be obtained. I dont get it.

So do I need to flash again? If so, in what order do I need to update binary, install busybox, update superuser app, etc?

Did you check to make sure you had root on your stock rom slot? I should probably re-read your steps up to this point, but as long as
you had root before flashing this to say rom slot 1, you should not have lost root. Are you using OTA rootkeeper? Have you tried opening
it and toggling temp un root? Are all the boxes checked, specifically the one that says "root access gained"??
Typically, when I use OTA, i restore root, then go into SU update the app, then update binaries... after that I'm good to go.

Noob here..
I having some problems if i should flash these roms and i need to confirm the next steps that i think i should do (my device is already rooted)
I got a ICS Stock from Telcel and i want to get batakang but i was reading that you need to flash from a Jelly Bean ROM, so the question is what i need to do to get batakang...
Should i start unlocking bootloader??

Assuming that you're NOT on a dev unit... there will be no bootloader unlocking. If you're rooted, you need to install OTA rootkeeper, protect root, then unroot... install the JB leak from this forum in the stock android recovery. Reboot into the JB leak restore root, install safestrap... backup stock rom... create rom slot, restore backup to rom slot... flash batakang. Got all that??

^^ They are on telcel.. so that is XT925, don't think this ROM is meant for non Verizon models... Could be wrong.

Well this rom is compatible with both the RAZR HD and the Atrix HD, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.

But HD and ATRIX are both Verizon phones? I just know that CM10 needs a specific ROM for both XT926 and XT925 so there has to be a difference.

Eclipse ICS 1.2.2, ported by myfishbear, has fully functioning Google Now, with voice input/output included. Just update to the 217 ICS leak and flash eclipse and then flash the google now zip and you're in business
I went with Deodexed/Debloated ROM, and installed the Google Now ZIP from the Eclipse ICS thread. Works great.

I assume you install it through CWM? How is the battery life after installing? Also, do we now whether it is the same version as in this thread or older http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29756226&postcount=2856?

Yes, it's a ZIP you install through recovery. I'm using SafeStrap (essentially CWM). If you aren't using SafeStrap, I do recommend you take a look at it. It's a nice safe way to test ROMs and other things that might be considered dangerous.
I can't really say anything about battery life yet. I've only been playing with this ROM for a couple days. You know how it goes with installing apps, indexing, caching, syncing.. things need a little time to calm down. However, I can't really imagine any of the ROMs being worse on battery.
And Google Now needs time to learn. I've read that Google Now uses the settings for Home and Work locations from the Navigation app, so I set up my work and home locations in there, and it's notifying me with traffic at the appropriate times.
It's probably the same version. 36megs sounds about right. myfishbear has kept everything very current in his Eclipse thread.
Just for reference, I'm on ICS leak 217.
If you want a ton of extra features, than eclipse is the way to go!

Not sure if I did something wrong, but I tried 3 different revisions of Eclipse (including 1.2.1 and 1.2.2). Every time I installed it, I had only 4 of the 5 icons show up at the bottom of the launcher. My corporate email security settings (requires PIN) wouldn't work, and if there are any customization options (like UI settings in other ROMs, or even launcher settings), I couldn't find them.
I've installed numerous roms on other devices, so I really can't imagine what I did wrong.
Boot to SafeStrap.
Make sure SAFE system is enabled.
Wipe Data / Factory Reset.
Install ROM ZIP.
Install GoogleNow ZIP.
Win! (well, win for everyone else...)
I tried Infektion ROM as well. The only issue I had there was the same issue with my corporate email security settings. And the screen rotation bug from CM9.
I tried clearing caches, fixing permissions, re-installing, re-re-installing.
My unsafe system is ICS leak 217, no mods. Works great.
My safe system is Deodexed/Debloated ICS 217 plus GoogleNow. Works great.
Hmm, you should go to the eclipse thread and ask myfishbear if he can help you

My post-count is less than 10. So I'm not allowed to post in the dev thread. Also, it sounds like Eclipse works for everyone else. My fail brings me great shame.

Stock d4 JB via kexec

Run stock JB without flashing OTA!
flash this zip to a romslot instead.
REQUIRES SAFESTRAP 3.11 (due to increase in system partition size )
Only tested with ICS boot.img so far but it might work for people who've already flashed the OTA.
This is the Full Bloat edition
might do a slimmed version later.
Download: http://d-h.st/g5f
Bugs:
haven't tested much yet beyond booting and going through setup.
working:
hwc
lcd
1X
3g
4g
sound
wifi
compass
keybaord
capslight
bluetooth
etc...
not working:
???
Edit: romslot 1 only for now
thanks, man. too lazy to SBF, and the OTA keeps failing because I must have modded my build.prop. until I get some time to grab a build.prop from stock ICS or just bite the bullet and SBF back to stock, this should hold me over

Thanks! I'll give it a run and report anything out of the ordinary!
No Wifi Tethering?
I just installed this from Rom Slot-1 and it looks good so far, but first thing i noticed was that I could not do Wifi Tethering with Foxfi (or built-in hotspot) It says that the carrier has blocked wifi mode in Jelly Bean... any ideas on how to get around that?

there is an entitlement check in settings storage, looks like there is a way to hack it by editing sql database for settings storage. trying to find an easier fix....
Edit: delete /system/app/MotorolaSettingsProvider.apk and odex and replace with this: http://www.mediafire.com/?e5o6pgju49d0tih (deodexed apk only, no odex file)
wipe data and cache and it might just work. NOTE: wiping data and cache is mandatory.
Confirmed working, and this hack should also work for any stock JB based rom.
edit: it works but deodexing the apk seems to be be causing FCs ,I'll try injecting the modified resources into the odexed apk later

Look for sqleditor in the market, scroll down to settings (the icon with the wrench), settings, then change line 66 'entitlement_check' from a 1 to a 0, and reboot. Built-in hotspot will work

this is a zip of the odexed apk and odex with new resource injected. tether works and no more FC's, no sql editing necessary.
these can be added to the zip beofre flashing, or pushed to /system/app/

i have a debloated mostly deblurred version almost ready to go if anyone is interested.
todo:
strip out the blur framework files and whatever else is useless.
better tether icon in settings.
mod overlaysettingsprovider settings to not try setting up deleted apks, and set sensible launcher defaults.
replace blur phone/telephonyprovider (this will require resigning all platform/system apks and fixes from hashcode's build for telephony stack)
done:
browser - aosp 4.1.2
camera/gallery gapps version
calendar aosp 4.1.2
removed lots of bloat, and everything available on market.
modded build.prop to make vvm from market work, deleted blur version.
removed entitlement check so tether works.
restored aosp settings icons.
added aosp launcher, works good but has issues with webtop.
Would 'smart actions' work with the de-blurred version if I restored from a Ti backup?
Sent from my DROID4 using Tapatalk 2
I noticed two problems:
- at boot pin is not required
- battery count is wrong
Can be they solved?
The original JB OTA brought the phone to version 98.72.8. It's now trying to install an update 98.72.16 - do you have this update integrated into a flashable file yet?
edit:
Never mind, I grabbed the file from your 2nd link now, and I see that it's 98.72.18. Would be good to just edit the original post and change the link there, so other folks don't go thru the trouble of downloading the old image first, like I did.
Of all the different Blur JB versions out there, this is the only one that wouldn't boot loop or result in a black screen. Granted my Stock ROM slot is still on an ICS version, so I'm sure that is the main problem.
I'm too lazy to want to SBF my stock ROM slot so this is a great alternative for now. Thanks!
Yeah, same here, the other ones I tried would just bootloop.
I'm still not convinced I want to stay with it. I like the "Sleep Mode" option in the powerdown menu in ICS. Also, this one spontaneously reboots on my at random times, I have yet to notice any actual trigger for that.

After hours of researching and looking a threads, I managed to get KitKat 4.4.2 on my phone followed by Kitkat 4.4.4 and ROOTED! :victory:
Here is my guide to save you all time. I will not be responsible if you brick your phone. If you brick your phone use Sony's PC companion to repair your phone.
This Guide was tested and worked on my XPERIA Z C6606 Tmobile Locked Bootloader. On Windows 7 PC.
Have [[NOT]] tested on other XPERIA devices and would not recommend it on other devices.
[[BACK UP ALL DATA to your PC]] All data on your phone and SD card will be wiped!
1. root current xperia z android phone using geohut's towelroot tr.apk

b. goto file, save page as "tr.apk"
c. connect the phone access sd card and create a new folder called "apps".
d. Put tr.apk in the apps folder you just newly created on your sd card.
e. then use a file explorer to navigate to the apps folder on your sdcard and install tr.apk.
f. download rootchecker off the play store to check if rooted.
2. install latest flashtool
a. http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
3. dowwnload kitkat 4.4.2 (C6616_10.5.A.0.230_Customized_US.ftf)

l. when completed flashtool will prompt you to remove phone.
remove phone power on and let it load for the first time it will take a couple minutes.
4. You are now on Kitkat 4.4.2!
A. go to settings
B. Select about phone
C. go down to build number
D. it should say "10.5.A.0.230" Click on it 8 times to enable developer mode.
E. go back to home screen on settings and "developer options" should appear.

I used GeoHut's tr.apk to re-root my phone.
[[KNOWN BUGS]]
Stamina Mode "On" has random restarts.
Connectivity with Mobile Data is not 100% everywhere you are at... (maybe because the baseband is taken off a c6616) [[[FIXED]]] see below:
Go to Settings:
-Under Wireless & Networking select "More..."
-Go to Mobile Network Settings
-Select Access Point Names
- ADD a new APN or edit existing. Use settings below.
I would recommend downloading SuperSu from the Playstore and granting permissions to it.

Chainfire for SuperSU
Geohot for the original towelroot exploit
NUT for kitkat 4.4.2 US customized .ftf flash file.

I'm on Rajeev 4.4.4. Easiest way if you are already on 4.3 is towel root, install a recovery and flash Rajeevs rom per his instruction. Boom. On 4.4.4. My process was similar but came from 4.2 and hit every major revision since. No need for flash tool with Rajeevs work!

did you run into mobile data issues? when traveling around town sometime my mobile data cuts off.
I did at one time with an older ROM and Android version but seems to be fine now. Used to live in an area with really poor cell service so that was likely part of the issue.
Did you do a clean flash? The Asus Transformer guys developed a little script I always use called super wipe. Works great. With the phone I do a full wipe usually too then.flash the new stuff.
I am assuming none of you have T-mobile Wifi calling after the 4.4.4 upgrade. I really wish someone would port a kitkat rom for this phone with wifi calling enabled. hows the battery life after the upgrade?
You should add to this guide that although you will get mobile data, you will NOT get LTE. You will only be able to get 2G, 3G and HSPA+ but you will not get LTE using this ROM because it is not for the C6606.
Hi. Are you results confirmed? No LTE?

So after getting kk and no LTE.. If we use another ROM for c606 would we get LTE. Sorry I'm new to Sony devices and I still don't know how to door this thing I want to put cm12 on this because jelly beans on a Sony device seems bad
Sent from my C6606 using XDA Free mobile app
anyone has a tmobile c6606 with cm12 or 5.1.1 dirty unicorn if so how to install it on a 4.3 jelly beans stock lock bootloaders
I have LTE and I am on a C6603 rom. I get 2G, 3G, 4G, and LTE. I am also on Rajeevs last rom.
CM12 and the like are custom kernels. No customer kernels with locked bootloader.
I believe you are wrong on that. Initially with a stock T Mobile apn you will not have LTE. But after searching around I got it to work just fine but had to use a different apn than the one it would download. I will post the apn settings in a few in hopes it will help people. I run Existenz on my 6606.
Okay here is my apn settings. This is what worked for me as like I said the stock apn would drop out and do all kinds of dumb stuff.
Hi guys. I'm new to Sony. I have a C6606 and I want to flash either reeve or Existenz roms. My phone is currently running stock 4.3. What are the steps I needed to do before start flashing custom rom? Should I root first, install nut recovery then flash the rom or is there anything special I needed to know. Thank you.
I know this is older but I did this update and it updated me to the stock 5.0 Lollipop if anyone is interested yeah you lose Wi-Fi calling I've got LTE but its a price to pay to lose Wi-Fi Calling lol..

No those are H+ speeds. 4G LTE would be at least twice as fast.

Sadly, too much of a price to pay for me. I get the feeling our C6606 will be one of very few devices left behind.

To all having signal problems

Mee too Have this major problem

I too used to have signal problems with this ROM. The network signal used to drop off within 2 minutes of rebooting the phone. I erased everything, flashed 4.4.4 NC2 stock tar using odin, installed safestrap again and then installed this rom. After installing this rom (and any mods you need), flash N900A_OC1_ALL_Other_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5 using odin from the custom rom section "Note 4 port 5.0.1 - DarkLord rom v2.2 N910F BOB4 by Samsungviet for N900A" (not allowed to post links since my no. of posts<10) and then boot into this rom, avoiding now the possibility of a modem conflict with NC2. It turns out that when you upgrade to this rom from NC2, for some reason, the baseband remains NC2 whereas everything else is upgraded to OC1 and so I think this was the reason for the network drops.
[Q] ~~~ Would anyone mind breaking it down in simple terms what I must do coming from rooted nc2 to get this rom installed... I have oc1 kernel... I have nc2 flasher... I just don't understand the concept I guess. Thanks in advance
New report everything still works great, but the LED light just keeps randomly blinking, anyone else having this problem?

Flash the nc2 flasher then without restarting it go straight to safestrap. Boot to recovery, clean 3 times everything but your exdrive, flash rom than kernal, reboot. Set your apn to att settings.
That's what I did, the only thing crazy is the LED flashing randomly.
Awsome rom! But is there any fixes for the camera (crashes while holding the focus) and NFC (not switched by togle) except the flash on / off in Safestrap?
First let say Thank you. I finally have a room that I can use the GPS with.
Now my problem is that I can not connect to my gear s the blue tooth connects and the a get the gear manager connecting to gear but it never connects..
Please help

The blinking led is in and out of data. I think wifi.
My new problem(s) my wifi keeps going on and off.
5 random reboots throughout the day.
Is download booster not working? I've been downloading and streaming and I don't see it being utilized.

The LED thing is in the OP i missed that, so you can turn it off if you want. I have never had a problem with random reboots, so i am not sure what the problem is, every phone is different i guess. The download booster i am not sure about either, sorry!
Oh and the wifi I do not have a problem with so again i am not sure..lol, I know i'm so helpfull!!

I have the same rebooting issues after this flashing great rom.
My fix is to use Odin 3.10 to install N900A_OC1_ALL_Other_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5 at AP slot. Not sure if this is the case applying to others.
Here are my steps to refresh this wonderful rom.
I hope this can help.
1. Odin back to 4.4.2 . Then root with towelroot apk and install supersu and busy box.
2. install safestrap to wipe all data except sd card.
3. In safestrap, install DomPop_URv2.2.3_ATT_TEKHD.zip and SM-N900A_N900AUCUEOC1_KERNEL_Recovery-Flashable.zip
4. Odin N900A_OC1_ALL_Other_Stock_Partitions.tar.md5 at AP slot
booting issue
DomPop URv2.2.3 Note 3 n900a
i noticed after a couple failed boots that if i reboot in airplane mode and wait till it is loaded it is fine after returning out of airplane mode. then everything works great. The phone reboots about 5 seconds after launcher starts if i don't. Anyone having a similar issue? I originally noticed that the crash would happen after the location icon appeared in the status bar,

U. powersaving mode
When I'm in ultra power saving mode my alarm clock don't work. Is there a fix for that? Other than that problem I greatly like the rom. Thank you so much
I'm absolutely loving this Rom so far. Great work. I've not seen Lollipop look this good!
So, many people mentioned the constant resetting. I too experienced that. Only after flash. It would load up, be fine a minute, then freeze and reset.
After a while, I dunno, half an hour? It stopped resetting and I've not had a problem since.
Had a problem with not connecting to the network for a while too... but once I got the APN sorted out and turned off the reporting thing in About, it worked fine.
So, question.
Anyone have a fairly comprehensive list of what is safe to freeze/remove out of this Rom as far as stock apps and such?

I agree, this ROM is very very nice. I had to manually enter APN, even though I had the box unchecked, but once I did that, everything else has been good, and battery has been nothing short of phenomenal. I usually get home from work with about 35% battery running Alliance, with this, I'm usually at 50 or more.
I have the same question about what to freeze/remove. I've blown away the flipboard stuff, Health, the gear stuff, everything seems to be OK. There's a whole slew of "samsync sync" stuff that seems like it oughta be able to go, every so often I freeze something, and see if I notice any problems. But I do the same 15 things with my phone every day, so I may not notice anything really bizarre, or some odd interaction.
Anyway, my compliments to the developer, this has extended the life of my phone significantly.

Fix for Netflix comes from TEKHD's thread in Tmo Note 4! One could try the build prop edit or go to System/Vendor/Lib. The file is called liboemcrypto.so, can be renamed to liboemcryto.so.bak or delete the file either way. One could do both options, so here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...tekxodus-n4-urv1-4-14-15-note4-t3082085/page5.
If you don't feel comfortable about doing system edits look here on XDA for Netflix v3.3.3. This was newest but older version I could get to work before I found the the correct fix in the above thread.
renamed liboemcryto.so and now Netflix is working fine !

Appreciate your help ! Renaming liboemcryto.so does fix Netflix !
Unfortunately , " Google Play Movies & TV " still can't play movies....
But I can live with that as long as Netflix is working fine.

vzw firmware mainly only works with verizon out the box and will have all the verizon bloat (jrkruse debloated it however) and should include essential verizon apps like vvm for example..
i personally prefer the U firmware since it is lightly debloated out of the box and if essential files are left in it can be used with pretty much any carrier
The only thing I miss out of the PEH rom is the stock email app. I prefer to use that over the gmail app. The PEH rom doesn't have it.
Nice!! I may finally root now! Thank you.

Just wanted to see if I am already on PF2 with root and fixes and everything flashed, is it any different then flashing this ROM and fixes and everything. (is it worth it for me to flash this?)
I've followed every step with success but if I reboot my phone for any reason after I get it set up it breaks root. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This is probably a dumb question, but does Samsung pay work with this ROM? Just curious if having the VZW build would help with this?

Of course a new version appears after I set up the other yesterday. I'll give this one a whirl.
EDIT: installed the Playstore version and has enough functionality for me. So far so good! Please don't update this for a few weeks unless for something major. Ha Ha.
One thing: I noticed that Baseband Version is: G935UUE2APEH and Build Number is: MMB29M G935VVRSAPF2. Is that correct since you based on U firmware?
quick question, if I want to install this and I'm rooted with flashfire but on the PE1 build. Do I have to unroot, take the update then re-root and then flash your ROM? Or is there a way to just flash to the correct version then install your ROM from where I am..

You should be fine flashing this Rom on PE1 or PEH firmware. I will put together a firmware update zip for those that want it.
