[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igobytony:
For some reason my phone boot loops on everything (ROM/kernel) I flash. I am s-on and in the past if I was changing ROM's or kernels and there was a bad match resulting in not passing boot animation I could always flash a fresh MeanBean and it would just do it's install goodness and boot up. For some reason now though after trying to flash a kernel last night it will not even boot beyond the HTC splash before reboot. I can still always get to the bootloader and recovery, but no matter what I flash it won't boot. :banghead: Also, I think the text that says Tampered in the bootloader used to be red, but is now black. I could just be imagining that now though.

Anyone have thoughts on this?

Thanks! :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Hit the link in my sig and read the portion regarding flashing while S-on and see if that helps you any.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igobytony:
Cool, I'll check it out. Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
No problem. What version of TWRP are you running?

Also, S-off is highly recommended:D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igobytony:
Sorry, just saw this... I'm on 2.3.1.0. Its been fine up until last night (been rooted and flashing ROMS and kernels since September as soon as I got the phone). Prior to that I said was always able to flash MeanBean (or MeanROM ICS) and get booted to use Flash Image then reboot to recovery and ROM flash to get me back to where I wanted to be.

I read the signature and that is perfect because since I was not having success with TWRP I was going to look up how to do that. Never needed to use Fastboot before. Knew it was simple, but didn't want to play trial and error right now, haha. Figured I'd post here and see what feedback I got while I searched.

Anyway, it looks like I'm not getting my device recognized when in FastbootUSB. It says "command not found". [edit] the Fastboot devices" command. [edit] Do I need to navigate to another location or something to do Fastboot commands?

LOL yes I know s-off is where it's at. But with the kernels for Meanx and ones that thick lizard puts up having the installer-and Flash Image taking care of the rest-I didn't feel like stretching the ol' comfort level and going s-off. I had actually recently re-downloaded the SDK though to get more familiar with things, because having to take all those steps (even having to fresh install and old ROM to use Flash Image, etc., to get where I wanted sometimes) is a huge PITA. Was planning to do some studying and s-off with DR as I'm hboot 1.19. Then, a flash went foul last night and here I am.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Use Facepalm. It's Windows friendly and takes less than five minutes. You do everything from the bootloader so the phone doesn't have to be booted to Android to work. You have to be able to connect via Fastboot USB so make sure your drivers are up to date. Also make sure you select the Fastboot option in the bootloader, then connect your phone to your PC. You also don't need the entire SDK to use ADB & Fastboot commands.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igobytony:
Yeah, I guess getting s-off is gonna be the only way to get beyond where I am. Now I just have to find a Windows machine...

Does Facepalm work on 1.19? I read over all the ones on here recently and I figure there must be a reason it wasn't on my shortlist. Guess I'll go find out right now.

Thanks for the help!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Yes, Facepalm works on 1.12, 1.15, 1.19 & 2.09 (software version 3.15).

---------- Post added at 11:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

Even though it's older it still works. Plenty of folks still running that particular version of TWRP because it works without any issues. If he were getting errors while flashing in recovery, that might be an option.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igobytony:
I believe I have 3.16 software. Probably saw that somewhere in the Facepalm thread and that's why I wasn't considering it. At least I'm pretty sure I'm 3.16. Honestly, I wouldn't know where to look since I can't boot up.

I think for now I'm going to try to flash the MeanBean kernel in Fastboot. As soon as I get my Fastboot commands recognized... Do I have to say "sudo" first or something?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
If you're using Linux, most likely, yes. Try "sudo fastboot devices" (without quotation marks) & see if that works for you (that's what I have to do when using Ubuntu).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igobytony:
I'm on a macboook. When I tried "sudo" earlier it gave a big message re: don't f@ck around (my words, same intention) and then asked for a password. I don't recall having to say "sudo" in the past. Also, I don't remember needing a password before, so I guess I'd better look into that... Maybe because where I at in file path macboook thinks I'm trying to sudo it and need a password? LOL :banghead:

I think I'm going to refer to the root guide I used last Sept as I was able to Fastboot flash files before (obvs, or I wouldn't be rooted). I'm guessing maybe I'm just issuing the command from the wrong location? That's why I'm checking the root guide to see if I navigated somewhere first. And to remind me how to cd since I haven't used adb of Fastboot since rooting last year.

Does that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igobytony:
Think I found my Fastboot issue: the root guide I used says for Mac always put ". /fastboot-mac" for each Fastboot command.

I'll report back if that goes well and I can flash a kernel that way and boot up. Wouldn't want to solve my issue and bounce out of here, leaving the whole community to stay up all night worried about me haha.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igobytony:
quick update: not able to get any fastboot commands to work. Not even using "./fastboot-mac" that i had to do to root.

if anyone happens to have run across this before, or knows the probably very obvious (except to me, natch) solution, please don't hesitate to let me know!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igobytony:
turn for the worse

Am now getting errors saying that can't mount things, most notable is that it can't mount internal storage. LIke, to the tune of not even being able to select it in TWRP. When I try to mount to computer: when I mount internal (which I was only able to attempt once, i can't even select that now) it says that it can't read the disk. Mount exterior (again to computer) does nothing.

I can still boot to recovery (though when browsing files trying to go up a level from exterior SD to internal results in a reboot of recovery.

Anyway, I can still use adb commands, but no fastboot commands.

I'm really having trouble here, and am getting pretty frustrated. Not totally freaked out as it looks like a soft bricking since I can get to hboot and recovery. But, now that there are mounting issues this is beyond my scope, and the issue is not showing up in searches of this (EvoLTE) forum.

Oh yeah, this is me, haha ------> :crying:

Most or all your answers can be found in the "sticky" threads in Q&A and General

SENT FROM MY LTEVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igobytony:
Funny how the mind works; I've read the stickies and many threads countless times (I read much before asking questions which is why I've got such a low post count and have asked maybe two questions since joining xda) but never noticed anything about internal card not mounting until I reread after I had that issue. That section never jumped out at me before.

Anyway, I'll just go back to reading and keeping quiet. Not in a huge rush anymore since I've got my tablet and reactivated my old Pre from '09, haha. It's actually nice to use with the right patches and the clock speed damn near doubled.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
Hey man I wish I had a one line solution to your problems but I don't. The reason I said read the sticky threads is that you give the impression that your not too familiar with flashing kernels , fasboot and root in general. I'm not being a smartass here.

If your S-on you should have used fastboot before ti flash a boot img and I'm pretty sure you need a fastboot command to HTC dev unlock your phone.

Besides all that there must be a couple of thousand threads started by people reporting bootloops because of being S-on.

Now that you can't mount storage and or get a ROM a boot I would read up on getting S-off. Someone above said it can be done through botloader. Once your S-off you should be able to download and flash a ROM.

Good luck

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] igobytony:
Ha, I do to! Sorry I didn't mean to sound snarky in the last reply.

I have definitely used fastboot, but not since rooting. I just didn't want to sound like a know-it-all, which is I suppose why it ended up going so far the way. Seemed a better bet than "I've read everything ever now shut up and fix my phone!!" Haha Unless it was the crying smiley, lol. I haven't been on XDA from a computer in forever and when I saw the smilies it made me laugh and I peppered the post with them to amuse myself. Not to say that I wasn't frustrated, of course.

I'm absolutely planning to s-off. Was already looking into it over the past week or so after getting so tired of having to use Flash Image all the time, but had't jumped yet because I was still reading the threads to find best method. When I thought I had there would be people with same hboot or software version having issue with that method... at any rate, I'm still not able to get fastboot recognized (issuing commands from platform-tools, and adb commands are working, says "FastbootUSB"-even on two computers, both Macs tho) so while I continue to search for the solution there I'm going to repartition phone since internal SD is not being read.

I'm sure that after I have the fastboot thing solved, I'll be cool. I was having concerns that there may be a hardware issue since I didn't do anything I hadn't done before that got me into the boot loop state. Then the internal SD thing, which strangely just popped up after the phone had been down for about a day already.

Again, I apologize for sounding snarky or irritated. I really do appreciate your popping in to help out, so thank you!

Hey guys, I'm considering selling my TF201, it's in good condition and has only a couple scratches on the screen, nothing serious, you can't tell unless you hold it in direct sunlight with the screen off. On the internals I made a small modification with the WIFI radios, I attached conductive copper tape to the antennae and it gives it a nice little boost. I'll also sell it with Sandisk 8gb class 10 sd card and it's pre-rooted with Androwook 2.3. The charger that I got with it originally only charges slowly, so you might have to grab another one, but otherwise it works. Anyways, I guess the point of the matter is that I want to know what you people might buy it for or if you guys are interested at all.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have been in 4 At&t stores today trying to purchase the Moto X with my prepay account. And all the store employee s and managers were telling me that I have to purchase with a 2 year contract. So I tried the last store and one of the employees OKed it and I got it. So I have T-Mobile service and I wanted to use on that and request an unlock from unlockcode247. com and after 3 hours they send me the code for just $13 so now I have the phone unlocked on T-Mobile LTE.

Fantastic! Mine will be arriving from moto on Monday. I was able to use motomaker early, and purchase through the site for full retail. Im in a tmo lte area but im also wonding if you were ablet to get any hspa+?

Are you able to get T-Mobile HSPA+ on the AT&T Moto X or just the LTE Network. Just seen somewhere the phone is supposed to be Pentaband. That would be something else. I would like to get the 32gb version.

Thanks, Vinny

You were able to get the phone thru moto maker at a full price ? How please
[Moto X General] hdub32:
For some reason I was able to sneak into motomaker last Saturday. I believe it was during the time that friends and family and bloggers could order. At that time the site was taking orders, and one of the options was being able to pay full price. It didn't even make me sign into to any AT&T account luckily, since I don't have one.
[Moto X General] Clarkkent434:
Tells us when you get your Moto X. Since the Moto maker is up. Now you can buy the Moto X unlocked and Att and T-Mobile are the same models. I don't see a reason to wait for T-Mobile Moto X unless you want it on contract.

Im not sure if the Att and Tmo versions are going to be the same, but I am getting lte and hspa+. It could also be that im in a refarmed market, im not really sure. I live in Los Angeles.
[Moto X General] herzzreh:
How did you unlock it?
[Moto X General] hdub32:
I used a site called unlocked247(.com) they were the absolute cheapest. $2.50 for ATT unlock.

Funny story, I was so anxious to start using the phone that while I was waiting for the sites email, I called ATT and made up a story about leaving to London the next morning and was told if I called i could get it unlocked.

I told them that I called before i bought the phone, which i did, and confirmed that they would. So after speaking to his manager, the awesome rep came back with unlock code. As he's reading the code to me, I receive the email from the site I had used saying my code had been generated. Same exact code!

Code worked like a charm, and the phone is now unlocked!

sorry , i wrote it wrong, its unlockcode247(.com) and as far as ATT goes, im not a customer of theirs also, just went about in a nice way,and they were willing to help since I bough the phone for full price.

But go to that site, it works well. Towards the bottom you will see ATT unlock, use that one.

No need to pay to unlock. Just call At&t and tell them you are going to Europe and paid full price for the phone. They don't even check if you did. They will give you the unlock code based on your IMEI, etc.

[Moto X General] cheerup38:
So does the at&t model have the HSPA+ (1700/2100) bands as well??
[Moto X General] zerin:
The product spec lists both the 1700 and 1900 bands in the AT&T phone.

I get mine tonight so I'll let you know for sure. I get HSPA+ and they started turning on LTE towers here last week so I can test both.
[Moto X General] cheerup38:
Sweet! Thanks!!!
[Moto X General] zerin:
Ok, AT&T Moto X sim unlocked through unlockcode247.com and with a cut-down Tmobile sim card works fine on both HSPA+ and LTE bands. Speeds are exactly on par with the HTC One I have on Tmobile. The phone initially didn't want to connect to LTE but I rebooted and haven't had issues.
[Moto X General] cheerup38:
That is awesome! Thanks for confirming this!
[Moto X General] JFigure:
Walked into an ATT store today. Bought a black moto x.

Called 10 minutes later and got my unlock code from customer care.

I'm not an ATT customer. I was actually wearing my T-Mobile uniform.

No problems, but something isn't right.

It's not 100% the same as a t-mobile branded handset. I'm not getting the same bands.

My home has 4g coverage for all my devices so far.

I'm on edge with the mx

I got LTE everywhere else without any problems. The phone has shown "4G" and "4G LTE"

I'm thinking it's not running AWS HSPA on 1700mhz, or at least the radio isn't enabled.

I tried *#*#4636#*#* and the *#*#service#*#* and both are blocked.
[Moto X General] KiNG OMaR:
Have you checked the APN settings?
[Moto X General] JFigure:
Makes no difference, it's the radio. The 1700 aws band doesn't exist.
[Moto X General] zerin:
I can confirm that the AT&T Moto X does work on the 1700 band. Not sure what is up with your phone, but I've got confirmation of both the 1700 and 1900 working with AT&T's XT1058 model (as compared to Tmobile's XT1053).
[Moto X General] JFigure:
it gets LTE on 1700, not AWS HSPA.
[Moto X General] zerin:
Whoops, that's correct, got the frequencies backwards. My phone is still reporting connections on both those bands, however, and the product specs still list the 1700 mhz frequency as being supported by the AT&T Moto X.
[Moto X General] JFigure:
You're not getting AWS signal. It's not possible.

The phone wasn't put through the FCC with those radios. (they may be there, but disabled- ala nexus 4 and LTE but i'm not sure)

It doesn't matter what some app is saying.

Sorry to sound like a ****, but it's fact.

TMobile provides AWS, HPSA on refarmed towers, and LTE.

This phone will get HSPA/4G and LTE, AWS HSPA will not work.

I'm 99% certain its like this:

AWS on 1700

4G/HSPA/iPhone 3G signal on the newly refarmed 1900

LTE on 1700 (different from aws band)

The signal icons are as followed:

4G LTE = LTE on 1700

4G = HSPA on 1900

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

Yeah, you're grabbing Tmobie's LTE on 1700mhz.

When it bounces over to HSPA+ or whatever it's jumping to the new 1900 band TMobile uses.
[Moto X General] zerin:
Ok, so if I'm reading this right, HSPA+ and LTE are both offered on the 1700 mhz spectrum. I'm getting HSPA+ on 1900, you're looking for it on the 1700 band, which is the faster of the two HSPA+ varieties Tmobile has.
[Moto X General] JFigure:
Exactly.

To keep it less confusing I refer to it as the AWS 1700 band when talking online and to customers at work.

The LTE is a few frequencies, band I (UMTS2100), band II (1900), band IV (1700/2100), band V (850).

It's a bunch more complicated than that but you have the basic understand right.
[Moto X General] SymbioticGenius:
It seems as though, When the time comes we can just buy a Tmobile Moto X, Sim Unlock it, move it to Verizon, UnlockBootloader and Root then, right?
[Moto X General] JFigure:
From what I've read the T-Mobile version will be the same as the dev version. It'll have all the AT&T radios plus the AWS antenna.

It'll be bootloader unlocked though.. so you can do whatever you want to it.

I'm going to sell this one and get that one when I can.
[Moto X General] NardVa:
The Moto X may not support hspa+ on AWS band. You may have to be in an areas that has switched hspa+ on to the 1900 band.
[Moto X General] JFigure:
that's exactly the situation.

now i/we need to find out if hspa+ AWS (UMTS) is disabled or missing completely.
