I unlocked my bootloader the other day, still have a working camera. Was iffy at first but I installed the 534 firmware, rooted using klingo or whatever, installed supersu and checked "survival mode", updated to the 257 OTA, backed up my TA partition, installed dual recovery, unlocked my bootloader, restored my TA partition, then voila, working camera on unlocked bootloader.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] khristov:
then voila you relocked your bootloader when restored TA partition...If you don't believe me try flash AOSP ROM, or CM with unsigned kernel and you will see :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] kamma:
if you restore TA partition, the bootloader become locked again.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] TheKnux:
I didn't know that. Unless I didn't read that part somewhere. Sorry for the misunderstanding. Can't you just backup the camera app using TB, unlock the BL, then restore it once it's unlocked or no? I ask cause I'm currently using a ROM that doesn't have Sony's OTA baked in but I made a backup and restored it when I flashed the ROM and it works fine.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] warfareonly:
No, issue isn't with the camera app, it's much deeper than that :(
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] TheKnux:
I figured. Sorry again for my misunderstanding. I thought for sure that I was still unlocked. I guess I didnt read on about the TA partition. One question, since I did unlock, and I'm relocked again, are the DRM keys or whatever they are still present? Or were they completely lost since I unlocked?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] warfareonly:
Restoring the TA automatically restores the DRM keys. They're stored inside the TA partition :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] TheKnux:
Isn't there any way to dig through the partition and figure out what's causing the problem? This seems like Sony's version of Knox in a way. That's one reason why I ditched the S4.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ripdoozer:
Hello,

I apologize if this topic has been covered in another thread. I looked and couldn't find the information that I wanted.

I am Stuck on TW roms because I can't get any of the Photosphere enabled cameras to be fully functional on any 4.3 AOSP roms.

I think I have tried them all. No matter the camera app/rom/kernel combination that I try, the camera always force closes or reboots my device when I use any of the front facing Camera/Video cam features. This is truely preventing me from using a 4.3 rom as a DD.

This may be a Noob question, even though I have been flashing roms since my Eris...but, why are there no ROM's that have a Photoshpere camera included? Why can I only get that camera as an .apk or flashable .zip? Confuses me.

For now, I am stuck on TW because I can have the Samsung Camera (which i love), and I can have a fully functional Photosphere camera and run them side by side.

If I could use the camera that comes with the 4.3 rom (for front facing camera & vid cam, i.e. hangouts) AND load the Photosphere cam, I would be happy, but one has to replace the other...unlesss there is a workaround I am not aware of.

Thanks!

Sick of your Data Disconnecting ? Do You constantly have to find your donor and get data/psw from it in order for 3g DATA to work on your phone ??​

well no need to do that no more. There are two ways that worked for me and the other I can't post about it here

Connect your phone to QPST and Open Efs Explorer

*****GALAXY PHONES must SEND 16Digit PAssword first Thru DFS and HAVE SPC

*****HTC PHONES ALL YOU NEED is YOUR SPC

Click File and Create a New Directory called "DMU" without quotation of course

drag the 10.key file in that folder https://www.dropbox.com/s/so0cx087lik9v59/10.key

Restart you phone and your data should work.

If that don't work then You need to use DFS to back up your Prl and Dial *228 *********ATTENTION**** dialing *228 is not all that bad, the only thing that changes is your PRL. So go ahead and write your PRL back and you're set

If you need the PRL here is one For Sprint Phones https://www.dropbox.com/s/7gqyyvcmjt20paq/53000%20For%20Sprint%20Phones.prl

Need the Latest one ? get it here ....just look for PRL...or use CTRL+F 65005 (get the sprint one) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2270191

The Other Method involve changing ESN#s and MEIDs# that's why I can't really talk about it here..... ( Thats What I was told )​

I originally have a gs3 t999v but due to certain complications I have the d2tmo cyanogenmod 10.1.3

After installing the game type:rider and dead trigger 2 I am presented with a black screen at start up, nothing else.

There are similar reviews at the app store from rooted phones. Any solution to this?

Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
If you suspect that being rooted is the problem, you could always use the app Root Keeper.

If its a hardware issue then the Play Store wouldn't have let you install. Just for kicks, take a Nandroid, Flash stock Touchwiz or any Touchwiz rom, and then try the game.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] x3malex:
My friend has the same phone, not rooted, stock rom and both games work. His phone is also a t999v from mobilicity
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Have you tried Root Keeper ? This app will temporarily remove your root while keeping a backup. That makes all the apps to think you are unrooted. After playing the game, you can restore the root and be on your way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] x3malex:
You mean unroot cyanogenmod? Or flash a root66 and then unroot. That seems a whole lot of work just to run 2 games :s, there's gotta be another way
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Nope. That's not what I meant. If you will install that App, you will understand.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] x3malex:
I installed OTA root keeper and temp unrooted, ran the games. Still doesn't work :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
So the review you saw about rooted isn't correct. Let's try changing Kernel. Try any other Kernel and then check.
[HTC Titan] wrublo:
My phone was working fine earlier, sent a text off, went to write another one, pressed the search button by accident and then the screen froze, wouldnt respond to any touch at all. Tried turning the screen on and off for a bit, volume was still working etc, in the end pulled the battery. Phone restarted, managed to get it to the normal lock screen (where it had my alarm/activities for the day displayed) but again, unresponsive to touch. Pulled again a few times and the same thing happened so I decided to leave it, figured maybe the heat/humidity here (on holiday in India) had wreaked havoc with some component.

Anyways, restarted again 30 minutes later and this time couldn't get past the windows phone screen -as soon as that loaded, it reset the phone and got stuck in a neverending loop. Held up and down together and got to the screen I think is called SPL (never bothered with any of the rooting stuff)

However, the TOUCH simply says "TOUCH NONE". So obviously theres a problem there. Everything else is the same.

I tried disabling/enabling the HTC log/modem bridge but that didn't help and did a reboot and factory reset a few times but that didn't help either. Now Ive got the device hooked up to my laptop, changed from serial to USB but I don't know what (if anything) I can do in this state?

I tried earlier holding down to put it into zune mode, it completed restoring the version but then as the zune software restarted the phone, it went back into the endless cycle - the zune software was still waiting for it to reconnect again to complete the process, but obviously I couldn't get it that far.
[HTC Titan] berrywr:
Hold down the volume up and volume down at the same time while hitting the power once you see the white screen you can let go of the power; in green lettering you're going to see the SPL, for most of us its 2.05.160023. This is the bootloader screen, everything there is done by the volume toggle, no touch screen here. Your phone is stock which means you won't be flashing like we customized folks do so let's start with the SPL, what is it and by some chance is it HSPL'd?
[HTC Titan] AndrewSh:
berrywr, TOUCH NONE on SPL screen means either corrupted touch driver or dead touch screen.

[Moto X General] linuxgator:
So, after about a month the charging port on my car dock broke out of the dock, making it pretty much useless. I figured I'm going to try to just find a cheap dock somewhere else that I can use and can just plug a normal charger into the phone. The one thing that the official car dock does, which isn't done on cheap universal docks was that it had a magnet which would trigger car mode in the phone. After a bit of searching, I finally found the spot using a small magnet that I found at work. What is most interesting about the magnetic trigger is that based on the polarity of the magnet, it can activate either the car dock or the desktop dock. Right now I've just got one magnet, and I don't know the polarity on it, but it works. I have uploaded a picture with a small piece of tape on the spot where the trigger is. I'm not sure how strong the magnet needs to be, but it may need to be a bit stronger than the average refrigerator magnet. I'm probably going to go buy a few and some super glue and see what I can do as far as a homemade dock.

Speaking of car mode, anyone able to activate car/dock mode simply by touching their Moto X in a certain way? Sometimes I'll pick it up or simply shift/change hands and some type of mode is somehow activated where the screen darkens and displays a clock. It happens somewhat infrequently and I'm never able to replicate it... I don't even own a car or desk dock, let alone put it in one... it always happens by hand and always accident.

Looks like this can be done with any magnet. Just tried with a random one I had laying around and it enabled car mode.

Doesn't Moto Assist automatically switch to car mode when it detects that you are in a moving vehicle?
[Moto X General] UncleMike:
I don't think it does. Assist will announce incoming calls and texts, but that's not the same as car mode. I don't see any real benefit to car mode any longer since android no longer changes the behavior of the home button when in car mode.

For me, I don't see the benefit of desk mode either, since Motorola insists on ignoring the orientation sensors and displaying the clock in portrait mode regardless of the device orientation. I had the opposite problem with my Bionic - in the car dock it would only display in landscape orientation, even if the phone itself was in a portrait orientation.
[Moto X General] murso74:
Doesn't car mode keep the screen on?
[Moto X General] Jon C:
Yes, it does.

Car Mode can also auto-launch a Car Home application (such as Car Home Ultra); unfortunately, as mentioned, Android will not relinquish control of the home button to a Car Home Launcher, which limits the usefulness of such a UI.

I am really excited to learn about these magnet sensors. That's really cool. I hope that Motorola creates their own docks. And if they don't, I certainly will create my own.

Thanks for the information.:good:

Put a Neo button magnet on the back of my Slip grip car mount and it works great. Now I have an NFC tag stuck to the mount for unlocking the phone and the magnet turns car mode on.

[Moto X General] gsk3rd:
Wish we could set something up to allow us to launch a certain app when moto assist activates the driving mode. Silly, you can launch a music app but no app of choice. That would allow us to eliminate the magnet all together.
[Moto X General] Iceman248:
I have thought of a way, at least for me and how I use it, as a workaround that hasn't been tested, but should work fine.

With Tasker, I was going to setup a profile that 2 things have to happen to trigger it. One, phone is plugged into car charger. Two, headset is plugged in (my aux input on my car). Once these 2 things have happened together, not just separately, I will trigger Car Mode to activate, which will then run Car Home Ultra. I think this will work out great for me with how I use it.
[Moto X General] UncleMike:
I've been doing something similar for a long time. Unless you're doing something else in Tasker that depends on Car Mode in Tasker, you might as well just launch Car Home Ultra directly instead of switching to Car Mode. The main benefit of Car Mode (IMO) was that pressing the Home button would return you to your Car Mode app instead of the home screen; unfortunately Google eliminated this behavior a long time ago.

I ordered my Griffin dock for the moto x directly from Motorola on March 26. It has the “doesn’t signal dock mode” issue I’ve read about. I’d also prefer that the phone unlock when I dock it. Problems solved:

View attachment 2683103

This is the Skip I ordered at the same time as the dock, not knowing I’d have the problem and solution until I read this. Thanks!

Each end of the Skip is magnetized. The end at the lower right holds itself in place with the magnet embedded in the dock for triggering car mode. This now “extended” magnet comes into gentle contact with the curved back of my no-case docked phone, and being covered in fabric prevents scratching like a bare magnet would. I taped one of those (Radio Shack 64-1895) to the back of the dock (as you’re looking at it in this photo) at the NFC end of the Skip (upper left) to hold that in place. So the Skip holds itself in place as pictured but can be easily removed, and replaced—there’s no skill required in positioning the Skip because the magnets locate it perfectly.

With the Skip in place the dock mode is triggered reliably and it unlocks. And because the dock was designed to accommodate an x in a case, the Skip fills the space and locates the phone in the dock better.

[Moto X General] Iceman248:
Forgive me, but I am having a hard time understanding how I could replicate your fix with my iOttie Easy One Touch dock. I bought some 1/8" magnets that I could not activate car mode with no matter where I put them. What exactly would I need and how would I use it?

Thanks.
[Moto X General] Number.NaN:
I'm guessing you mean this one:

I don't know, but it seems thicker than the Griffin dock for the moto x, so the idea of taping a magnet to the back of it to hold the NFC end of the Skip in place may not work. Also, I doubt the iOttie has the magnet to trigger the moto x, so placement will be more work on your part to get it optimal.

What I'd do is look at my photo, and the other descriptions of where the magnet is on the phone, and put one of your magnets on the back of your phone. Move it around until you've found the right spot, then dock the phone and note where the magnet should be on your dock. Glue/tape the magnet to your dock being sure you get the polarity right to hold the Skip in place. Glue/tape the other magnet to hold the NFC end of the Skip in place in the middle of the dock towards its top edge, again being sure you have the polarity right to hold the Skip as I've pictured it. Then put the Skip on your magnets glued/taped to the dock, then put your moto x in. You'll have the thickness of your magnets in addition to the Skip between your dock and your phone, but being universal I expect it would still fit. Good luck!
[Moto X General] gammite:
two things.

1. if you ordered the skip you have three stickers. put one of the skip stickers on the G logo on the dock to keep the phone unlocked.

2. if you press/tilt the phone on the bottom of the dock when docked the phone goes into car mode. using your thumb and index finger press/pinch the side of the phone with the sim card tray toward the dock.

it works and you don't have to do the mcguyver thing.
[Moto X General] Number.NaN:
1. Yes, of course. I had tried that first--there's still a band of residual adhesive from it to the right of the G logo. If you don't have the primary problem of the magnet not reliably triggering and holding car mode, and don't want the option of easily removing and replacing the thing that unlocks your phone, that would be all you need.

2. Yes, that's been mentioned by others already. I didn't want to repeatedly put that force on the micro USB plug and jack, and at least on my examples of the phone and dock it doesn't remain in car mode reliably.

This was actually a simplified version of my original solution involving a Hershey bar, Canadian penny, matches, and stick-type ballpoint pen.:rolleyes:
