Bootloop

So, a few weeks back, I decided to do something truly foolish. After having switched to this great ROM, I wanted to reset things. Dummie over here decided to use the factory reset button while traveling, and the end result in a bootloop.

I am going to Beat this. I have a few drivers issues with win7x and trying to sort through those things. I have read this thread in/out and supplemented with http://motoactv.wikispaces.com/ ....

Fingers crossed I can sort this; although I have switched to strava for most things, I miss my watch!
[Other SmartWatches] miracleboy:
it worked for me today. Once you log in, just delete the extra stuff after motoactv.com and hit enter. The redirects after login have been beoken for a long time. Response is still decent. In fact I downloaded all of my activities in GPX format just in case.....

Hey guys - I used this site/thread specifically nearly a year ago to root my MotoActv and put on Clear - IT'S BEEN AWESOME! Thanks so much!

Now I have been having a problem.. I am not a "root" or "flash" pro, so I'm not sure what the normal terminology for things are but :

- One time my MotoActv crashed while I was exercising. Then it rebooted, but just kept rebooting, getting to where I pick the launcher and rebooting over and over. (Is this what fast-boot is?)

- I hooked it up to my computer and kept trying buttons on the MotoActv Root Tool randomly. I did a reboot into recovery, then restarted form there and the watch started normal without looping.

- About 4-5 weeks later it happened again - Crashed then kept rebooting. Since then, nothing has got the watch to boot normal and stop looping.

Do I just need to start over? What will I lose that I can't get back if I do? I already uploaded all my workouts and created a data restore point.

I just can't figure out how to make it stop "fastbooting" (I think)

Thanks!
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Fastboot is where your watch shows the black bootloader screen. Your watch is bootlooping actually.

Out of curiosity, you're not overclocked, are you? It almost sounds like overheating.
[Other SmartWatches] plebiscite:
Ok - Yea mine shows the Motorola "M" symbol, then asks me to pick which launcher and if I'm quick sometimes I can pick one but shortly after it restarts.

Nope I haven't ever overlooked, and I got it brand new.

Would a vid help? Or not at this point?

I'm tired of not being able to use it, I might just factory reset..
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Try booting into recovery and clearing cache and dalvik and see what that does. :)
[Other SmartWatches] Smurgledorfcc:
I had the same issue, re-flashing the ROM fixed it though. Before that I was sometimes fast enough that I could hit the power down button when the choose launcher screen appeared and power it off, turn it back on, then it worked fine usually.
[Other SmartWatches] plebiscite:
Ok I can give that a try, will it erase anything?
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Those shouldn't, no. Clearing data or doing a full wipe would, but not clearing cache and dalvik.
[Other SmartWatches] plebiscite:
Yeyy that worked!!!!

Thanks clear, I was going to do that when it first happened but I thought that would cause me to need to start all over!

Thanks for all you've done for this device and community! Love this thing still even being 3 years old, everyone can't believe when I show them playing Game boy games :cool:
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
I still wear mine a lot. Even more than my Omate TrueSmart. The motoactv is just... Better. In my eyes. :)
[Other SmartWatches] plebiscite:
Agree!!

I was disappointed that it messed up like this right before my first triathlon, I was really looking forward to keeping track of my run pace! :crying:

And I'm about to get an Android phone then I can take notifications on the watch, sneaky sneaky..

Lastly, I have had this prob where I try to install apps/games from the play store, but the device shows the "internal storage" not having enough space even though the device has 4gb free, and even though all apps are "moved to SD card" or whatever. It only shows like, 135mb of internal storage and 6+ GB of SD card space so I can only have a few simple apps.

Access to ANT+ Devices

I was curious if anybody has successfully tried to access ANT+ devices. I've been thinking about trying to breathe new life into my old watch by replacing the built-in launcher with one of my own. But all my sensors are still ANT+.

Recommended ROM

I recently purchased a Motoactv for my wife. The hardware is impressive but their software/ecosystem really is a pain and so I'm wanting to root and move her to a ROM that would allow her to do some basic tasks. In terms of the ROMs that are listed here does anyone have a favorite ROM that's stable for a daily driver?
[Other SmartWatches] miracleboy:
Attempt to resurrect

I lost my watch to a bootloop and life got busy. i am training for a triathlon and want to get this bugger device back.

I think the sequence of events went something like this:

1. Rooted succesful

2. Loaded up ClearD rom successful

3. In moment of stupidity b/c rooted and non-standard rom applied I selected an option similar to reset to factory settings and watch went to bootloop

Now in my efforts to resurrect, I have lost a few of the important avenues to information.

main source of info is reviewing threads on xdev and http://motoactv.wikispaces.com/buttons_commands.

If anyone has helpful tips or tricks, please let me know. Thanks! watch gets to fastloop and 100% power still.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Just reflash stock rom in fastboot, or stock rooted rom if you've got that option. Then once that's done, re root and re flash custom rom. Easy as pie
[Other SmartWatches] miracleboy:
Gotit....was a driver and port blocking issue on my corp computer....i'm back....

I use strava, but want something smaller....next step is to figure out the .tcx exports... Thanks for the simplicity reminder Clear! Phew....

Now to remember which rom.....and to re-orient myself with the device features.

Resolved!

Does anyone have a mirror for the Motocast software? I have ClearDroid installed and have not touched my device in a while (kept it as a daily driver). I just picked up running again, but every time I try to sync my runs, the device gives me error code 1810. I can sign in to the MOTOACTV site fine with the same login credentials. If I try to plug in my device to my computer, nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling my previous installation of motocast and motorola device manager and starting over, but even after installing MDM I can't get my device to be recognized (subsequently I can't install Motocast). The mymotocast site is down, so no dice there.

tl;dr device isn't recognized when I plug it into the computer, so I can't sync workouts. Need motocast mirror
[Other SmartWatches] giganielsie:
Well, I have the same problems and didn't find a solution so far. These are the solution of Motorola to solve the sync problems but it didn't solve anything for me:

1. If you have any problem to login onmotoactv.com, you will need to create a new MotoActv Account.

2. Please try to synchronise your workouts via Wifi. The option is available in Settings > Wireless > Sync.

3. If you have any problem to synchronise workouts over Wifi, please try to "create ID" instead of "login" when prompted. Enter your existing credentials.*

4. If case these steps do not solve the problem, please reply to this email again providing us with the following information:*

- MSN

- System Version

- Build Number
[Other SmartWatches] kvswim:
My account works fine on the website AND my phone, but will give error 1810 every time I try to sync through wifi.

Edit: also, music that's deleted from my SD card (eg the laughably bad music that comes with the device) likes to stick around but not play during my runs. Is there a way to refresh the stock player's database?
[Other SmartWatches] jeggen:
My wife loves her Motoactv, which I just bought for her in December since she wanted a non-Apple, non-Phone music/exercise device and this is 100% perfect for her. But now mymotoactv.com is no longer active which causes problems in the software and it's kind of a pain to load music on it. Does anyone know if there is a way to get the Motoactv to mount on a windows as a removable drive to just copy music over to it? I'm rooted and using ClearDroid ROM.
[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
Stop adbd/start USB. Should be an included app in the rom

Out of my depth

Hello to all, I am a complete newbie here and also a complete newbie in any of this rooting malarky, so apologies for my ignorance and stupidity!

I bought the Motoactv back in early 2012, and I've stuck with it despite the neglect (and now, abandonment) of Motorola. However, as my device will no longer sync fitness data to the Motoactv website, I've decided it was time to try something new. I reckoned someone out there would have figured out some sort of technical magic to make the little fella live on, and lo and behold, I find this delightful thread.

I've downloaded ClearD's Motoactv Root Tool and followed the instructions for "Flash Boot Image and Root", but the device just looks the same as always (apart from the fact that I ended up returning to Stock as I panicked and thought it wasn't working at first!). Is this normal or have I done something wrong?

My second question is this: assuming I've done it correctly, what happens next? I want to keep the device as a fitness tracker if possible, so I was hoping to use the RunKeeper thing but everytime I go to the page for that, Avast tells me there's a virus lurking nearby.

Another question I have is what's all this about overclocking? Is this something I should sort out before going any further or is it only for the highly skilled (although saying that, clearly this is all for the highly skilled!)

I really like the idea of keeping my Motoactv alive and sticking two fingers up at Motorola, but I am either incredibly stupid or incredibly naive; I thought I'd just be able to follow the instructions and it would all be shiny :(

If anyone is willing to help, despite me being a complete beginner, I'd be extremely grateful.

I have had my motoactv for a couple of weeks now and I'm currently on reactv rom which I love. I keep running out of storage space and was wondering if i could manually partition it using gparted on my ubuntu pc. I want to create a sd-ext partiton to use link2sd. I can see the drive in gparted and i tried to resize sd card and add a second partition but gparted said that I couldn't create another primary partition. There has got to be a way.

[Other SmartWatches] pdrift:
I did manage to get this working. I have a 500 MB data.IMG that I mount and use with link2sd. It would be nice to be able to get it working without the workaround though. I have been busy making scenes for different scenarios using tasker which does work on this ROM (reactv) and I use an app called Ema personal wiki that syncs between my watch and phone using dropbox so I can edit my notes on my phone and have them on my watch.. pretty handy. is it possible to take screenshots on this device?
[Other SmartWatches] Befky:
Very disappointed with the lack of response to this - usually people on internet forums are quite helpful, but I suppose there is always an exception.

I spent £250 on the Motoactv back in early 2012 and I want to keep using it despite the fact that Motorola/Google/whoever owns it nowadays has decided not to support the device. I want to keep it as a fitness tracker and music player because there are no other devices out there that do both. I don't see why I should have to go and fork out another obscene amount of money on a smartphone when I already have a phone - and phones don't fit neatly on your wrist, you have to wrap them around your arm (and I have a fat arm). I don't see why I should have to spend an almost obscene amount of money on a new fitness tracker and then go and buy another piece of equipment just to listen to music ( and trust me, I need music when running - it is much better than hearing my horrendous asthmatic breathing patterns).

I don't have the technical wizardry to understand half of what is referred to in the previous 72 pages of discussion, and I also don't know where to go to find an alternative to the Easymodder script linked to on the wikispace article, as the file is no longer stored at that location.

If anyone feels like being nice to an overly-ambitous idiot, then please offer me something, anything, to get moving on this issue.

Thank you!

Used motoactv

Hello everyone.

I live in Australia and recently purchased a used motoactv from the USA. When I received the item and charged it everything was good, as I scrolled through the device I noted that the previous owner still had some past data on the device. I did some simple Google research and performed a "factory reset".

Now all I get is a blue screen with a white squiggle in the back ground and 4 small boxes in the right hand side of the screen. I can touch the 4 boxes and it takes me to another screen where I have the following options.

wifi manager

ADB manager

Gsallereyt

Marketsearchg

Play store

Superuser

I have subsequently figured out the previous owner of the device must have rooted it. My problem is I can not get back to the motoactv screen, the launcher appears to be gone?

HELP
[Other SmartWatches] Befky:
Hello. It seems people on this forum are not very helpful, so don't hold your breath waiting for an answer from them. I finally managed to sort out my Motoactv after a day of sitting at the computer rummaging around on the internet for everything that the links on the wikispace no longer link to.

I am now trying to change the launcher to see what the difference is (originally had it on Zeam, but want to see what this Honeycomb thing is), and so I decided to start from the very beginning, which means using the ClearD root tool and hitting the Return to Stock option (well, actually I tried to cheat and start half way, but I messed it up so THEN I went to the Return to Stock option!). That will make it look like a Motoactv again, and from there I suppose you just start all over!

Hope that is of some help. Good luck!
[Other SmartWatches] Dappy23:
Hello, and thank you for your responce.

I have tried the return to stock option but it still will not go back to the original Motoactv function???

Now that my TrueSmart is a fancy paperweight, I'm back to the MotoACTV. Was there ever an update to ReACTV ROM? (I remember dproldan saying something about one back in Feb of last year) There doesn't seem to be anything in the thread, curious if there's something floating around elsewhere.

You can get 3rd party apps to send notifications to the watch once you root it as it will just be another android device to the software. I found the resolution too small to really work tho... Was just handy to see who texted or called via their photo... I ended up getting a pebble and retired the motoactv....

[Other SmartWatches] ClearD:
ITunes files are in the media/iTunes folder on pc I believe. If motoactv is rooted and adb is stopped, it should show up as a USB flash drive, then just copy and paste.

I got new BT headphones, and cant connect them to my MotoActv. It doesnt recognize it!

The BT Buds are BT 3.0 and 4.0 compatible and they work with my iPhone without any issue.

Is there any chance to make motoActv more BT "viewable" by rooting it with any new app?

To be honest, I dont wanna change the moto to another watch, its nice.

Just came back from the moto 360 to this amazing device

motoactv was so ahead of its times.

Anyway, does anyone have any cool plugin for the motoactv app?

The twitter and facebook ones don't work anymore. Maybe someone has some rare plugin or something.

After installing every possible rom I figured out it's more useful to run stock without any custom app. But that's just me... I only need a calendar and google keep.
[Other SmartWatches] golfnut22:
This thread may be dead, but I thought I would give it a shot.

I have the 8gb one and it is unrooted. I have primarily used it as a golf watch. Since it is discontinued, there is no course updating and it is getting harder to rely on the yardages or even finding the course. I was wondering if rooting it will allow apps like hole19 or golfshot to be used via bluetooth on a smartphone?
[Other SmartWatches] psiphi:
The watch is an android device, so you can load any app that works with the old version of android it runs. The only real flaw is the resolution of the screen is too low for most apps to be practical.

If you can find an app that can redirect notifications in a readable resolution, you are probably at the limit of what you can do beyond the great built-in stuff.
[Other SmartWatches] golfnut22:
Thanks for the reply. I read all 75 pages on this thread and did find one message about the golfshot app. Apparently it could be loaded (back then which was a couple years ago) but the individual had a problem with its orientation. It also looked like there was a solution to that problem a few messages later. I'm a little nervous in trying to root it at this time as I'm not sure exactly, step by step what to do. So, I'll continue looking for that procedure.
[Other SmartWatches] samiphone:
Hi all,

Thanks to all of you here for keeping the MotoActv still alive even in 2016!. I managed to get a brand new MotoActv 16GB Golf edition and was able to root it using ClearD which is awesome. The MotoActv came with 1.7.2 N16 firmware. Used MDM 2.29 on the Mac and it upgraded mine to 1.7.10 N16. Was able to install TCX Exporter and it uploaded TCX to Google drive. Used fitnesssyncer to sync to VeloHero portal which is really a very good one (even better than fitbit and garmin portals). All is good. However, I'm facing couple of issues though on the device:

1. The battery is erratic. I'm seeing it is discharging @ 10%. Not seeing in 1% decrements. Also, seeing it is discharging quickly. Can somebody please help on this?

2. Sometimes when using the Export menu option for TCX, seeing "Google services not available". Need to try couple of times to get it work.

3. Initially, after pairing Polar H7 chest strap the Workout app will crash. Applied the Workout apk patch and now it is working great. Even though the HR value is accurate every sec as seen on the Treadmill dashboard, the calorie burn is kind of low. Wanted to confirm that MotoActv is calculating calories based on the HR value and not by some standard formula.

4. Is there any way that the TCX Exporter will auto sync to Google drive once I'm in the known Wireless vicinity instead of manually going into Settings and doing a Export?

I think overall, it is a awesome piece of product and intend to keep it for years to come.

I'm going to post this question in all available MotoActv discussions just because it is a discontinued product and people may have lost interest in it. :)

Please help.

Thanks.

ClearDroid ROM won't take

Hi all, I know this is long dead, but perhaps a few people are still around.

So I've rooted it, flashed the insecure ROM, even put CWM on it. But when I flash ClearDroid ROM onto my Motoactv... it just boots up and loads the default software.

Any ideas?

Years ago, I used ADB to put Clockwork on it and tried to flash the .zip file, but to no avail. I gave up then. I came back to it recently, found ClearD's great website with the automated software and ran that. I re-rooted just in case, wiped it, then flashed ClearDroid's ROM... and it still comes up with default software.

I'm thinking it has to be rooted, otherwise I couldn't get CWM on there and ClearD's software is saying it is rooted.

I was able to flash DProm's ROM on successfully.

Why does ClearDroid not have a system.img? And what am I doing wrong that it won't come up?

Hi there,

It's my first time around here but I already had the privilege to enjoy some of the rooting/ROM tools here.

MotoACTV 16Gb, locked in USB mode. Need to change to ADB to flash another ROM.

The story is - the device was on CrearDroid for quit long time, but recently it started to drain battery quickly, stock media player started "jumping" etc. Wiping/Factory reset didn't help and I decided to try to flash another custom ROM. Found RunKeeperACTV 2.1.1 zip and flashed it with CWMR. The ROM is missing a couple of useful tools (adb manager etc) and it is locked in USB mode so I'm unable to install anything...

Could anybody help me to either change to adb or to flash stock/crearDroid ROM. I actually found the MA_1710_16GB_NA.zip which I believe is the stock ROM but I can't flash anything as I can't boot to CWMR.

Bootloader Fastboot mode

03.14

Battery Ok

Ok to Program

Transfer Mode:

USB

both adb devices & fastboot -w do not see the device

there is no any file manager in the rom to install an apk from sdcard (which is available as usb drive)

there is no tool (like adb manager) to boot to recovery

Please help to unlock adb or to flash any other rom
