When I get back home I'm going to try the SS for the moto x. Or maybe redownload the SS for the droid phones.

xt1080m

Can you have safestrap and recovery installed at the same time?
[Moto X Android Development] jayboyyyy:
What do you mean by recovery? You shouldn't install ss on a ROM slot because it has caused problems for some.
[Moto X Android Development] spiral777:
xt1080m

i used pwnmymoto on my droid maxx xt1080m, and just successfully flashed the stock recovery back to it while keeping root to update ota.

i dont have ss installed yet, so i believe im referring to the stock rom slot
[Moto X Android Development] freak4dell:
That's fine if you just need root access for accessing files or using apps that only need to access the files, but you should know that if you write or modify something, the settings aren't going to stick because you've gotten rid of your write protect off mode.
[Moto X Android Development] seh6183:
I've been waiting for hours for goo downloads to come back up. Can someone host the freaking 10mb SS file for me so I can try it LOL I need the Verizon one.
[Moto X Android Development] bigv5150:
Correct me if I'm wrong but the people having issues flashing this have the droid maxx isn't this for the moto x. I would guess that is why you are getting a black screen and not booting.
[Moto X Android Development] jayboyyyy:
i think you are a little confused with what you are talking about or what words you are using. I'm having a hard time understand what you are asking. Or how you kept root through the OTA. you must have pwnmymoto (or now there is a new root for people that lost it with the OTA) to run SS. PMM actually hijacks the stock recovery and does some different things above my pay grade to explain. There is no such thing as a rom slot if you don't have SS installed. SS allows you to create rom slots but that is just a term that is used in reference to SS. Phones don't actually have rom slots. SS has rom slots. If that cleared some stuff up for you, maybe you can rephrase your question so it can be answered.
[Moto X Android Development] spiral777:
Nevermind, I got the stock recovery back... Thnx for the reply

I've been reading and reading and reading... Just wanted root and to be able to keep up with OTAs... Don't need safestrap... I have a n7 to flash...don't want to modify my droid maxx too much
[Moto X Android Development] seh6183:
Can someone please host the vzw SS apk?
[Moto X Android Development] jayboyyyy:
attached
[Moto X Android Development] seh6183:
Thank you very much. But thats the droid ultra version. I already have that and I can't get it to work. I was hoping to try the moto x vzw version.
[Moto X Android Development] jayboyyyy:
i am on vzw moto x running that version. It is not really a droid mini version. All HC did was change some settings to allow them to make a bigger partition because they could not flash the stock rom back up to a rom slot because it was bigger than the rom slot allowed. There is no other difference and if you cant get that version to work then you wont get the other version to work. They are identical in function, one just gives you an extra option that the other doesn't.
[Moto X Android Development] mercado79:
This is exactly the same version I'm running on my VZ Moto X. Works perfectly.

Yea Ive downloaded both versions of SS now multiple times. Downloaded this ROM from both sources more than once. Flashed with and without SU. No matter what I doI cannot get it to boot up after it installs. It just hangs and never boots after I hit reboot when the ROM installs.
[Moto X Android Development] mercado79:
You wiping data? I've always had to do that or else it won't boot.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Moto X Android Development] seh6183:
Wipe before of after the ROM install?

**Edit**

Just did a pre and post wipe and still wont boot. Even tried creating the rom slot and then doing a full advanced wipe, then installing, nothing happens. Also tried installing and then wiping cache and dalvik. Nothing.

**Edit 2**

Wiped rom slot 1 and tried to reinstall. On reboot, I got stuck in the bootloop hang and am now FXZ back to stock :(
[Moto X Android Development] mercado79:
Sorry to hear that. Don't know what's going on... Very strange.

[Moto X Android Development] seh6183:
Just tried a different rom and the same thing.... Hmm must be SS or something Im doing. Let me list exactly what Im doing step by step again.

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

Ok so here is what I just tried and still no boot:

Boot into write protect off

Uninstall SS

Reboot into write protect off

Install SS

Airplane mode (I have an att sim and thought it may be causing the issue)

Boot into SS

Create ROM slot 1

Wipe data/dalvik/cache

Install ROM

Wipe dalvik/cache

Boot

Hang

***Edit***

Heres something interesting. If I create a rom slot and restore a backup, it will finally boot. After booting up, I select to restart to SS. Then if I wipe and install the rom im back to square one and it hangs again. At least I got rom slot 1 to boot by restoring a backup :(
[Moto X Android Development] mercado79:
So you create a fresh rom slot, install the SafeStrap ROM from the OP, and boot up totally clean... And it still hangs? It only froze up on me when I tried to flash the SafeStrap ROM over an existing ROM or tried to install the SafeStrap ROM and then restore /data.

If your slot is new/fresh, then I'm at a loss. Sorry.

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Android Development] jayboyyyy:
the only thing that I did differently from what you did was wiping data/dalvik/cache after creating the rom slot. I never did that. Just created the rom, flashed the new rom to the slot, flashed the su to the slot, maybe rebooted then wiped dalvik/cache then rebooted again. I also always reboot to recovery from the SS menu every time i reboot. never wiped the data during any of this process though.
[Moto X Android Development] seh6183:
Literally can't get this thing to boot lol. What download did you choose and what browser did you download it with? Maybe we should compare md5 sums.
[Moto X Android Development] jayboyyyy:
mega link and i am on chrome. Did you try doing it without wiping data? Also, were you installing the su as well? It shouldn't matter but maybe it does.

perhaps there was a problem with installing/uninstalling SS. Maybe try uninstalling everything. Flash recovery.img. Re root with pwnmymoto. then run SS. I'm using SS 3.63a. also, it shjould check if you properly booted to recovery but just to be sure, either use an app to boot into it, use adb reboot recovery to do it. or boot phone with volume down and power button. press volume down once to select recovery, then press volume up to actually select recovery.
[Moto X Android Development] mercado79:
The only reason I said to wipe data was that I assumed you were trying to restore data somehow. I guess I should have said, make sure you're not trying to restore the data partition or trying to flash the rom over top another one.

[Moto X Android Development] seh6183:
Ok here is what I just did exactly, step by step, starting from scratch:

1.) Open SS

2.) Clicked reboot to write protect off

3.) After boot, open SS

4.) Clicked uninstall recovery

5.) Uninstalled SS app

6.) Powered phone down

7.) Booted phone back up

8.) After boot, verify SS is gone

9.) Open ES file explorer and installed SS 3.63a (have two copies, downloaded twice, both with identical md5's)

10.) Open SS

11.) Clicked reboot to write protect off

12.) After boot, open SS, clicked install recovery

13.) Clicked reboot recovery

14.) When phone attempted to boot, the SS splash came up and I clicked recovery

15.) SS booted and I selected boot options

16.) Clicked rom slot 1 to create a new slot (left all the populated partition sizes)

17.) Clicked install and installed the rom from the OP (last 7 of md5: 3941bdf. Can someone verify this please?)

18.) Clicked install again and selected the SU package (last 7 of md5: ebeec08)

19.) Clicked reboot system

20.) Colored Motorola logo immediately showed up, followed by SS recovery screen. I selected nothing and let it boot as normal

21.) Screeen stays black and nothing ever happens

22.) Wait 10 min

23.) Hold down power button until I get SS recovery screen again, boot back into it, activate stock rom slot and delete slot 1

24.) Boot phone back to normal

25.) Back to square one

What the heck?
[Moto X Android Development] doobie711:
I bought my mom and my girlfriend a moto x a piece. Using theirs wasn't an ideal solution though.
[Moto X Android Development] doobie711:
Thanks to Jcase I finally have root back and can guarantee that I won't be doing anything with the VZW version soak tests since they didn't do much of anything. The stock recovery was leading me to dead ends but maybe using dd to copy the new Radio Image to the older version is an option. If anyone could help with mounting /dev/block as readable that would be extremely helpful to getting to the bottom of this.
[Moto X Android Development] remicks:
The ONLY soak tests I will participate in are 4.3 or 4.4 updates, not worth it dealing with root issues just for a camera fix imo. Glad to hear ur back up and running though buddy!

DUDE!

stop flashing files that aren't for your phone.

Edit: Can someone post the baseband and detailed flash instructions please?
[Moto X Android Development] SubliminalME:
I was a grateful user of this rom for a little while, but with RockMyMoto, there is no reason to use the TMobile version instead of just updating to the Verizon version and re-rooting. At least none that I can see. :)

Still grateful that you got us by with a camera update for the time Verizon failed to do it, though!
[Moto X Android Development] apetrok91:
Quick question:

Not to trod down on this dev (Cuz this is great work), but what would I use this for?

I know its to install roms safely without compromising your system, but are there any other roms out for the locked version of this phone?
[Moto X Android Development] seh6183:
DUDE!

They are the same phone.
[Moto X Android Development] jayboyyyy:
you first download the fxz from sbf for your phone. If it is verizon then download the .57 version which is the updated version.http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ghost_rcica/list.php

then move the fsg.mbn and NON-HLOS.bin to the directory that your fastboot is in. Then boot into fastboot and run these commands.

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot reboot

i believe those are all right. only thing that might be off is the file names but i think those are correct.

only reason I have not done that is in the off chance that the root for 4.4 requires you to have the stock original FW. Or if there might be an easier or faster root method if you are still on the stock FW. This might not be the case but if it is then I want to keep it that way. Perhaps you can just install pwnmymoto then install some ota stuff then 4.4 then have it root itself or something. I am not sure but I don't want to risk updating the BL if i don't have to. Especiallly since it isn't that big of an update and I already have it running on my phone anyway.

no there are no custom roms out for SS yet but there hopefully will be. Or perhaps just running OTA's through SS will work. But SS has other things that are good. It is the only thing for locked BLs that allows you to create a nandroid at the moment. If you want to do some weird things with your phone that you are not sure are going to work or might soft brick it, then you can create a nandroid through SS before doing it, then when it soft bricks the phone, it takes you 5 minutes to get back to where you were instead of however long it would take to rsd then set everything up again. Also, if you soft brick your phone at a poor time during the day and need to use your phone. You can boot back into stock rom slot and have a working phone immediately.

If you're in fact trying to flash the OP's ROM on a new (August release) Droid Maxx, then that's your issue. Most definitely not the same phone even if it has similar insides.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Moto X Android Development] seh6183:
As far as the ROM is concerned its the same exact phone:cowboy:. The moto x Roms and the new line of droid phones can flash each others firmwares.

Same board, same CPU, same GPU, same chip set, same manufacturer, same base software.
[Moto X Android Development] mercado79:
Just saying. You've been struggling for days now, no? Samesies? Same kernel? Same partition sizes?

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Android Development] jayboyyyy:
your screen resolution would clearly be off as it has a larger screen. I'm sure there are also different small things that might make it incompatible. Also, wouldn't the maxx have gotten their FW update at the exact same time as the moto x if everything was exactly the same and hardly any changes were needed to be made...

IDK honestly if what you are saying is true, I'm just guessing that it isn't as simple as you are making it out to be. Also the fact that you are having problems while others aren't tends to point one in the direction that you can't just flash a moto x rom onto a maxx with no issues occurring.
[Moto X Android Development] seh6183:
You can flash them back and forth all day long of everyday.

And please explain how the resolution would "clearly be off" when the screens have the exact same resolution...
[Moto X Android Development] jayboyyyy:
i didn't mean resolution my bad. I just saw somewhere else that the aspect ratio was off because of the larger screen. things seemed to be expanded improperly was what I was saying.
[Moto X Android Development] mercado79:
Just trying to be helpful. Jayboyyyy and I in particular have been going over everything with you, step by step, for days. It would seem that the most straight forward answer, to me, is they're different devices with similar but different enough hardware to cause problems.

Hash code got back to me on rootzwiki. SS Roms are just lkind of unreliable at the moment and some devices Dont like them. Thanks for the suggestions though.
[Moto X Android Development] jayboyyyy:
i don't think thats what he was saying as their is only one rom that is out for SS at the moment that I have seen. I think he was just saying that flashing roms to the device could cause problems but restoring a backup should cause no problems. Basically, he knows exactly what is going on when you restore a back up because SS created the back up, but he can't speak to how well roms are working on it as there is only one out and he didn't make it.
[Moto X Android Development] shane1:
There is a ROM on Droidrzr.com
[Moto X Android Development] seh6183:
There are multiple SS ROMS out. And what he meant was that they are "iffy" between devices at the moment. Which is precisely why some people can't get anything to boot at all and most can.
[Moto X Android Development] jayboyyyy:
oh didn't know that. Please post some links to some SS roms for the moto x. i want to check them out. and i was under the impression that roms were built for a single device so its not suprising they are "iffy" between devices. Don't think its a SS issue but the fact that the devices while similar as they are, are not the exact same or don't use the exact same FW making the roms not compatible.
[Moto X Android Development] aFancyTickler:
possible to do this with the android 4.4 leak on tmobile as well or no dice ?
[Moto X Android Development] doobie711:
I've been messing around with the KitKat leak and so far I can flash the gpt and the motoboot images but everything else comes up with the hab mismatch. I tried using a hex editor to do some looking into changing the hab to Verizon or whatever might be needed with a hex editor but so far I haven't made much headway.

[Moto X Android Development] jayboyyyy:
thanks for the solid information. For a second there i thought this one the only site...

upon not looking around because i clearly already have. you want to point us newbs in the direction where you seem to have found "multiple SS roms" on other modding sites?
[Moto X Android Development] seh6183:
Well being that there's this ROM here, and two posts back someone posted another one from a different site, you can already see with your heart, lungs, bones, blood, eyes, and your brain that there are multiple SS Roms out there. So my statement stands.
[Moto X Android Development] jayboyyyy:
oh my bad. you are right. I could have sworn when i read your post the first time, you were meaning that there were more than the two roms we were talking about, but I guess that was just poor interpretation on my part. I should have realized when you said multiple you were just meaning two. Thanks for clarifying.

Also, for the record, I don't see with my brain. Tried it once. Closed my eyes and tried my best to see how many fingers my buddy was holding up, but my dang brain couldn't see nothing. Huge disappointment.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] xiasma:
It depends on where/how you got your MDA Pro. T Mobile UK WILL unlock in-contract handsets for a fee (£15 or £20, seems a little random), but only for the contract-holder and only if the handset came with that contract.

I've just helped a chap outside the UK get an MDA Vario as I was out of contract and needed a web'n'walk type tariff. The same day that I signed the contract and collected the handset, T Mobile agreed to send me the unlock code. They said it should take two to four weeks to arrive.

Well, I don't know where you get that, but in Holland T-Mobile charges 120 Euro's to unlock it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dvl:
yup

they charge 15 pounds in the uk if you can prove that the vario or mdapro is bought together with your contract, and it takes 28 days to get the code :shock:

Most people buy these phones without contract or 2ndhand, that means they have to find an alternative way to unlock the phone. then 20pounds is cheap.

and in holland they are totally and untterly looney... they dare to ask 100euros + :cry:

So as soon imeicheck has a 'bodged' way to unlock my mda pro i will gladly pay 20 pounds to do so.

SIMlock

Well, that SIM lock it seems to bother quite some people, including me. My suggestion is do not buy locked MDA Pro, Only unlocked. the cheapest ones with no contracts and unlocked are PDAhuis.nl for 709 euro the same price you pay for a locked in e-bay or other auction sites I you include transport unlocking calling faxing and all that.

From what I looked arround is that the simlock depend on IMEI (wich can be manipulated then with any working unlock code can be unlock) has anyone tried something like that?
