Beats me. This just creates a copy of a skip tag. Once the tag is encoded as a skip tag it won't be delivered to apps any longer and should be picked up by the moto skip sw. You didn't freeze these moto apps as recommended in many threads to save battery? Outside of that idk. It's handled internally by the NFC service and the moto software.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] km8j:
Wait do I NEED to have a Skip already? I froze some apps but don't think anything related. I can check.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mentose457:
You do not need to have a skip. That is the whole point of the app.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] km8j:
There was an update to Skip Setup in the play store. I installed it and now everything is working. THANKS!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mohlsen8:
This seems to get NFC tags formatted properly, and then the skip application itself sets them up and says they're good to be used, but after that point the phone no longer responds to them - almost as if the NFC tag just doesn't exist when you hold it to the phone. They're still listed as being paired in the NFC Unlock. I wipe them with another phone, and all of a sudden my moto x "sees" them as an NFC tag again. They can't be used as skip tags past the setup process. GSM Dev edition here with latest skip app update.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mandrsn1:
That is done on purpose. The Moto X incerpets the tag before an NFC app will recognize it. The tags will still work to NFC unlock the phone.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mohlsen8:
You're right. I noticed it working once out of many tries and now i tried again and figured it out - they only work when the phone's screen is on and at the lock screen. They don't work like the skip itself, where it can actually wake the phone/turn on the display and unlock it. That's why I didn't think they were working. Interesting.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] mandrsn1:
The real skips have a small magnet in them that cause NFC to wake up.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] RorixRebel:
Works as intended, pretty good.

Thanks
[Moto X Themes and Apps] geekabilly:
That's right, but position is fussy
[Moto X Themes and Apps] kendokan:
Works great, thanks!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] iTchill:
Orks perfect on non dev edition !!! But nothing changed in the nfc setting

[Moto X Themes and Apps] kendokan:
A NFC tag fits nicely inside a Ford key fob. :D
[Moto X Themes and Apps] CharFalco:
I didn't see it in the OP or title, but does this require root? i.e. does this work on total stock?

Also - once unlocked with Skip, does the Moto X stay unlocked for a while, even after the screen times out? I'm looking for a way to have security, have the screen turn off after 30 seconds, but still have it fully responsive to voice commands.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Nobiyuki:
It worked on my stock US Cellular Moto X.

And, the phone will stay unlocked according to your security settings. If you set the phone to lock 5 seconds after the screen turns off, it will do that even if it was unlocked with a Skip tag. If you want to keep it unlocked longer than that, you could set it up with a trusted Bluetooth device (I use my car stereo), but that's pretty much your only easy option.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] CharFalco:
Thanks! Also, looking earlier in the thread - these only work if your screen is already powered on and at the lockscreen? So it's the magnet in Moto Skip that's turning the screen on then?

I guess I'll have to get used to leaving my 'set phone to lock after screen turns off' setting to something a little longer then - though I wonder if Tasker could be programmed to change screen time out based on the unlock method? Has anyone tried that?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] RorixRebel:
so what if i wanted to re-use the NFC tag i used?

bought a skip and the dots and i would like to re-use my keychain NFC tag.

tried to re-write but it doesn't fully work

is it lost forever?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] krohnjw:
You just need to erase / re-write it with any NFC enabled device that isn't the moto x.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] onuris:
So Basically if I want to have my phone unlocked through NFC from off screen the only option is Motorola Skip?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] andTab:
Would love to know too.

Also: i tried this app with a tag in my car but it doesn't seem to work if tasker enables and disables the pin in between, eg at home and at work.

Every time it just goes to the @¤#@%@ setup wizard for skip.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] andTab:
Still no solution for this?

[G2 Android Development] tigabert:
Thanks Wootever, tested and works perfect on my international D802!

Wiped cache & Dalvik Cache - took about 6 minutes

Backup - took about 5 minutes

Factory reset - took about 6 minutes

Restore backup - took about 11 minutes
[G2 Android Development] htcm7:
Hi guys, what happen if something goes wrong during the process?

Will it brick the phone?
[G2 Android Development] Wootever:
Wiping cache has a bug that causes some delay.

Wiping cache may fail. Checking the box for use rm -rf in settings will fix this.

Very unlikely, before it flashes the recovery partition it checks for compatibility on the device.
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
Still curious if anyone without root has tried this, that to me is the big "selling" point..?

Anyways, if people are worried about this method, Dees_Troy and I literally just got his popular method working on the D802. I am not sure when he will upload it, but I imagine by today.
[G2 Android Development] Wootever:
It uses the root method provided by thecubed to gain root access over the adb shell - and is reliable.

I used this method primarily to test my recovery builds, but it also simplify the whole flash process a lot.
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] I agree, it is quite easy with this manner. Just examined your bat file against thecubed's for root. Is there a guide you follow after compiling your recoveries to use his method (such as what to include and what to push), or do you just have the knowledge from experience?
[G2 Android Development] Wootever:
About lokifying and flashing a boot/recovery image there is very good documented guide from djrbliss himself:

https://github.com/djrbliss/loki

So basically the easy installer gains root access over adb by pushing a simple security file to the sdcard, then it pushes the pre lokified recovery & loki flash tool and let it verify if the bootloader match - and finally flash it to the recovery partition.
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
Very cool, I'll have to read through it all and see what I can do.

I realize now that the two TWRP recoveries both have benefits. This one for ease of use. The other for if you are not at your computer (since you can just use a terminal emulator). Nice to have such options for the D802!
[G2 Android Development] somboons:
TWRP and CWM

What is the best recovery?
[G2 Android Development] Heatshiver:
There is no best recovery, it is just preference. I always preferred CWM because I started with that. However, TWRP is nice because it has always been touchscreen.
[G2 Android Development] htcm7:
Will OTA still enable after install this?
[G2 Android Development] pennie57:
Flashify worked fine for mine
[G2 Android Development] JRJ442:
No, he didn't say why. Just that the Goo Manager app won't work for this device. Its in the TWRP thread OP in original development if you wanna see the quote. Might be the chipset. Could be they moved to a new server recently and lost everything, and no one has added any files for this device, not sure.
[G2 Android Development] Bornin:
Quick, probably real stupid question :cyclops:

i was trying to get into download mode to see what that's about.

Now it's saying "firmware update, do not unplug the usb connection until the process is complete" for 15 minutes allready but it's still stuck at 0%

what to do? :confused:

[G2 Android Development] albsat:
I tried with flashify the latest zip version and an img version, but didn't work. I will try from my pc later on.
[G2 Android Development] Wootever:
[MENTION=4413706]albsat[/MENTION]

flashify will not work since these recovery images are not pre-lokified (they will get patched at the flash process itself), however this require a pre-installed custom recovery (cwm or older twrp version).

As far as i know all G2 variants are provided with a locked bootloader that can only bypassed with the loki patcher.
[G2 Android Development] albsat:
Hmm. I did it. It was easy. I installed cwm via terminal. Then from cwm jumped to this version. So far so good.

My question. As I got the terminal commands from cwm thread, would that work also for twrp? (got it on first post here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=46151488 )

Simple form of my question. How do we install twrp from the terminal of the phone?

[MENTION=4709667]Wootever[/MENTION] Can I pick your brain about some stuff I wanna try? I have a thread in GS3 themes for some TWRP recoveries with custom curtains to match some themes that are available. The tool by [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] I've been using can't seem to split the pre-loki'd image correctly. He thinks Loki is causing it to mess up. I noticed you said these recoveries aren't pre-loki'd. Do you think I could extract the recovery.img, unpack it with that tool, change the curtain img in the ramdisk. Then repack and rezip without any issues? I'm thinking it may work since yours isn't Loki'd and the one I was trying it with was.

Another question [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] was wondering, is it possible to de-loki an img then re-loki it?

[G2 Android Development] lazer77:
Yes.
[G2 Android Development] JRJ442:
On the previous page Wootever said you can't flash this one with Flashify because it isn't pre-loki'd or whatever. Next time, flash the official 2.3.6.2 img from the TWRP thread in Original Development, then you can flash this zip in twrp with no problems.

Hi,

I have a question to the nandroid backup. Is it possible to store the large data backup on my PC's HD and remove it on the phone? In an accident case I could recover the Rom from the leaving backup partitions. In a second step I would copy the data backup to the phone again and would repeat the recovery.

The benefit would be to save space on my 16 GB device.

Second question: is it possible to mix the data and system Backups? Let's say I do a complete backup (including the data backup) on day A, store the data backup to my computer's hard drive and do only a system backup on day B. Is it possible to mix day's B system backup with the data backup of day A?

Although I have to selected the compress feature, my backups are 1,7 GB large...

Download flashify from market. Find twrp img file for your phone. Has to have Loki enabled. Then flash img of recovery wwith flashify. Once you have recovery then you can update with the latest twrp for your phone. Once downloaded latest zip flash in recovery and then reboot recovery and it is updated.

Has anyone ever tried to flash back the stock recovery image?

I'm one of those who got stuck in a TWRP bootloop after an OTA update. Thanks to this thread I was easily able to recover from this, but the OTA update is not being installed of course.

When using the flashify method, flashify offers to perform a backup of the current recovery image. Honestly I forgot to do that back then, but I cannot image that no-one ever tried this.

Hi, today I installed TWRP and formatted everything in the phone including my ROM.

This gives me the only option to ''adb sideload'' the rom. I did manage to do it with CMW but, when I select the ADB sideload in TWRP, my computer can't see the phone.

In device manager, I can see that LG-d802 with non-working drivers. I am trying all kinds of drivers but non of them solved the device problem.

I think I have to find a working ADB driver for TWRP(which was working with CWM since I did manage to use ADB command), and sideload a rom.

Do you guys have any idea what I can do?

[G2 Android Development] steeltkb:
Q1: Store nandroid on external drive?

A1: Yes. Easiest way is to buy a USB OTG cable (search Amazon), and use it to plug in a flash drive or external HDD. After you've done the backup, a folder for the backup will be created in /SDCARD/TWRP/Backups/randomcharacters/[your nandroid backup]/. Use a file explorer app like ES File Explorer to copy the backup folder(s) off to your USB drive, which should be mounted at /storage/usb. In the future if you want to restore, just copy the desired backup folder back into /SDCARD/TWRP/Backups/randomcharacters/.

Q2: Mix backups?

A2: You can selectively back up AND selectively restore in TWRP. When you pick the backup from which to restore, TWRP gives you checkboxes for each partition that exists in the backup. If you only wanted system, then you could deselect data and boot, for example. So, if you wanted to restore your system from your 1970-01-12 backup, and your data from your 1970-01-15, just do two selective restores, one at a time.

---------- Post added at 08:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

Use Flashify app to re-flash the 2.6.3.2 IMG, then try the .4 upgrade zip again (install from TWRP). Make sure your ZIP is good.

[G2 Android Development] nismology:
The main takeaway from my post should be that you cant flash it in flashify. Try a hard reboot. Hold down power and volume down until the LG splash screen quickly pops up and goes away then let go. This should turn the phone off. Then try getting into CWM and flash the TWRP zip there.

Can I edit the bat script to backup the stock recovery first? What should I do? I want to have it in the sdcard to restore it if I want to install an ota.

Can I do/add this? dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery_stock.img I think I can do this only once rooted.

I want to be able to change from stock to twrp and viceversa.

With stock backed up could I ./loki_flash recovery /sdcard/recovery_twrp.img to install twrp and dd if=/sdcard/recovery_stock.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery to install stock?
