[Moto X Q&A] mcimo88:
I'm not sure it's possible. According to Anandtech:

" The front glass and touch panel are fused into the plastic lip which rings the top side of the Moto X. They’re not separate parts, but literally fused together into one. Motorola is very proud of this feature since it results in one unbroken surface instead of the usual pressure-fit plastic ring affair with a raised section or gap."

[Moto X Q&A] superhyper:
As far as I can tell, you are correct. The only way to replace the glass is to replace the entire display assembly (200$). Quite a bummer, but fused displays seem to be the way of the future. Thanks for looking into this everyone!
[Moto X Q&A] mcimo88:
The good thing is that add long as you don't break the display, it is SUPER smooth along the edges, and feels great if your finger runs off the edge of the phone.

Posted from the comfort of my Moto X.
[Moto X Q&A] Crowd_Control:
The glass around the edge is replaced along with the screen if you ship it to Moto for the repair. Same for the new Droid cousins. Cost me about $190 plus shipping it to them. Moto actually replaced my whole phone, which was nice because the same drop did some cosmetic damage to the unibody. I shopped around but couldn't find the screens to do it myself (this was back in Sept).

[Windows 8 General] Ricky Divjakovski:
A new super bug has been found by a security researcher, is is confirned the virus is transferred by radio frequency, infect all usb devices and all pcs on the network...

be aware everyone...

http://arstechnica.com/security/201...erious-mac-and-pc-malware-that-jumps-airgaps/
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Has not been independently verified. So far only one security researcher has reported it and it seems far fetched at best.
[Windows 8 General] becksvector:
sounds like woo
[Windows 8 General] tshot:
It's quite far fetched don't ya think? Only one reporter. I doubt it is real.
[Windows 8 General] Ricky Divjakovski:
True, but these days anything is possible, all we can do is wait and see if it spreads
[Windows 8 General] mcosmin222:
It is impossible, and let me explain why.

A radio frequency is not powerful enough (from an electric current point of view) to induce any sort of data in a non-receiver device. That is, all devices which use radio to exchange data has a special part called a receiver which is made of a special material which is sensible to radio frequencies and causes electrons to go out. Usually, the data picked up by the receiver is also compressed, and additional decoding hardware is needed for said data to make sense. So even if the virus could be sent through to a receiver, it would automatically get "decompressed" and it would probably not get out alive from that.

Obviously, USB, speakers and Microphones do not use this kind of technologies. No other device apart from the transmitter and the receiver do, or if they do, it is not sensible enough, otherwise no electronic component could do its job due to the huge amount of interferences that would cause (we are surrounded by radio waves coming from various sources, ranging from the local radio post to the super massive black hole in the center of our galaxy).

Even if it were somehow possible to induce a virus on a USB device, pretty much any security system will catch it spot on.

It is impossible for a speaker to send data back to its master device (electricity only goes one way through your speaker's cable).

Microphones can not pick up radio waves (they do not have a receiver). They only pick up vibrations in the air.

Motherboards are shielded from EM. Unless a very powerful EMP hits it, there is no way radio frequencies could affect bios. And even if it were not shielded, writing data to BIOS chips requires a high voltage electrical current, which will probably damage the motherboard if it was running something else.
[Windows 8 General] Ricky Divjakovski:
Hahaha, this made me laugh. You should feel ashamed of yourself due to the lack of respect you have. I simply read an article and shared it to warn other, you may have your opinion but telling me I should be ashamed of myself , I took it as an insult.

Now either discuss the topic without insulting others or don't be reply at all. Theres a report button I'm I'm close to using it.
[Windows 8 General] mcosmin222:
You completely missed my point, aside from the green text :)
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
The long list of things were to correct misconceptions about the technologies involved; both for you and the OP. I'm aware that most of them aren't related to BadBIOS itself, really, just corrections to misinformation about subjects related to BadBIOS, but if you're going to tell somebody they're wrong you should make sense and avoid factual errors while doing so...

[MENTION=5105831]ricky310711[/MENTION] I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm not, really... this is the forum equivalent of a email chain letter, sent by somebody who read something they didn't understand and then muddled it up further (I'm not sure which is worse, that you claimed it *spread* by radio, that you claimed it spread *by radio*, or that you claimed that this spreading by radio was *confirmed*; they're pretty much all wrong), added a huge load of sensationalism and fearmongering, and blasted out to everybody to "warn us." Warn us of what? Even if you'd gotten the description even remotely right, what exactly were we supposed to do about it? Not connect any strange USB devices to our computer? That's generally good advice - though also inconvenient, so nobody ever actually follows it except in high-sensitivity work unless they are paranoid - but you didn't actually say anything of the sort!
[Windows 8 General] Ricky Divjakovski:
I have actually researched this, so far I havent came to a conclusion that this actually exist but I have seen videos and found out it has possible for the high radio frequency transfer?
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
No, its not possible to send data via RF transfer without the other machine being prepared for this (wifi for example is radio, but is prepared only for 2.4ghz or sometimes 5ghz transfers of a specific type). Your PC doesnt have proper transmission abilities either beyond wifi and bluetooth etc which again are specific data.

You cannot just have a machine sit idle and magically generate a radio signal which will infect another machine with a virus.
[Windows 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Correct. Note that it doesn't necessarily need to be doing much more than having the radio on, though. For example, when your WiFi adapter scans for networks to join (like it does repeatedly when on but unconnected) it receives data from other devices and parses it. A vulnerability in that parser could be exploited, and if it were a really bad vulnerability, malware could conceivable spread that way. I'm pretty sure that's not what's happening here; security researchers know better than to bring an infected machine with an active WiFi adapter into range of another active WiFi adapter.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
There is that issue yes (haven't heard of this being done via wifi, have heard of an older intel NIC having a similar exploit though) but of course 1 exploit would likely only work on one specific wifi card family or possibly only one model within that family. An exploit for my old laptops broadcom wifi adapter likely wouldnt impact the qualcomm atheros adapter in my current laptop.

Which kinda brings me onto something else.

The researcher listed a few devices which had their bios firmware infected and many of them used entirely different motherboard chipsets, heck, he claimed a mac was infected and the chipsets driving their bios are totally different from those usually found in other machines.
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
O.K guys...

This is quite simple

Download generic 534 (I used for central Europe)

DOWNLOAD FTF

Flash it via Flashtool and root with Kingo or root this way :

Then boot ROM (you will need to restart your device two times to root proper) and you'll get OTA warning you have 257 firmware ready for update.

Download update and let the device flash the update.

And that's it ;)

Now you have newest firmware and you root is here as well...

See ya ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
I'm not talking theoretically - I just did that ;)
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
Thanks.

Not everyone gets the OTA, some need to do it via pccompanion.

But its great news to know the OTA update keeps root.
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
That's the point of this thread.

You'll get OTA if you use generic or world FTF.

That's why I said - first flash central Europe (for EU countries) and you'll get OTA info about 257 firmware.

I couldn't update by OTA too, then I did all this and now I can use OTA.

I was receiving OTA info but couldn't update - so I know not everyone can update that way.
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
Yes I agree with you. But some will want to stay with region specific or branded firmware. There are other methods for them, this is good for those people who will want to flash to central Europe first.

I good find and thanks for confirming OTA keeps root.
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
I agree, of course ;)

Thanks [MENTION=3506348]Toledo_JAB[/MENTION] for moving thread to right place. :thumbup:
[Xperia Z1 General] masterv1:
What for other methods do we have without unlocking bootloader and flashing other ftf?
[Xperia Z1 General] thefunkygibbon:
So will this require wiping or can I install generic ROM over branded ROM?
[Xperia Z1 General] stealthj:
EDIT: ROOT IS STILL HERE! WOOHOO!!!

OTA on phone preserves root, no matter which .534 firmware u have.

If u update from phone it preserves root

Make sure to switch to SuperSU app before u update, from any other superuser, works best
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
how do you force OTA though? I can't get it on Generic UK firmware...
[Xperia Z1 General] stealthj:
I didn't force it. I was running the .534 DK firmware and the update notification has always been there through the sony software update app. I chose the DK firmware over the hong kong firmware because I didin't like the NFC logo always on there and I'd rather my phone say 4G instead of LTE.

You may have to wait for the OTA! Not sure if there is a way to force it on the phone unless someone gets the update.zip after they download it and you flash it in stock recovery? not sure as I've never entered stock recovery yet. my BL still locked.

Damn it I want a nexus 5... but I'm afraid I'll get drunk or something and accidentally wash it like i do the Z1 all the time :)
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
read the development thread, there are roms there that will help you

you cant.

yo either do it manually or flash a ftf from cntral Europe to force it
[Xperia Z1 General] Sean473:
How do you manually OTA? I only have the ftf file!
[Xperia Z1 General] gregbradley:
unless you see it in your software update in phone settings you cant.

or you do what you quoted me as saying..flash a central eurpean ftf and then you will get an ota
[Xperia Z1 General] madlive:
I got the update pushed on OTA today (I have root) unfortunately it fails updating, no specified reason. Not looking forward to wiping phone and retrying it.
[Xperia Z1 General] ardeesan:
Same here. I just tried the OTA update and got the update failed after the reboot.

EDIT:

Maybe because I rooted with using Vroot. From what I've read, people had success using Kingo root. I tried the update 4x so far after Vroot. I'll edit this post again after rooting using Kingo root and see if the update will go through or not.
[Xperia Z1 General] Januwar:
Hi Funky,

thanks for that tipp, will try out asap. But exactly which FTF you choosed, this one:

C6903 14.1.G.1.534 Central Europe1276-4314_R2A

Cheers
[Xperia Z1 General] funky0308:
Yes, that's the firmware I have used.

As I said, I used that firmware just because my original firmware couldn't update via OTA.

I got info about new firmware but couldn't update until I first flashed that unbranded firmware.
[Xperia Z1 General] JENTEELMAN:
Can I flash the central Europe firmware without wiping data? If yes, then how to do it?
[Xperia Z1 General] naga.nino:
Works like charm. :) OTA update is my favourite "root method".
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tw557:
I am pretty impressed with the G2 battery especially while in use. I originally got the phone and was in awe how it would go 3 hours from full charge with still 100%. So last 2 nights wanted to see what it was like all night. It looses about 2% per hour. Not terrible but Gsam shows the phone is awake for like 7 hours. I have messed with some setting and such and I will turn off for an hour then recheck. Right now it shows it was awake for 42 minutes and off the charger for 43 minutes. Woke device 8 times with 127 wakelocks. Cache update service for 42 minutes. 2% in 45 minutes battery. So the question is, how quick does the phone go into deep sleep.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmoves:
it sounds like you have the 'wakelock' problem. is it google services or android system thats taking up all the power? i have that problem on my wifi at work, for whatever reason. when im on that wifi, NLPwakelock is constantly waking my phone and keeping it from going to sleep so my battery drains quickly. if im on my wifi at home or on 4G LTE then i dont have that problem.

trying turning off wifi. if you are still having the problem, you might need to turn off location reporting and location history under google settings -> location, and access to my location under settings-> location access. see if that helps.

I know that this problem has been mentioned in 2 posts earlier on.

I thought I bring it up again, maybe sb. has a solution or good idea.

My Wizard (K-JAM) resets itself in regular intervals by itself. After the reset, no input of PIN is required. Means you don't really loose the radio capability. It is annoying anyway.

Happens on the newest i-mate ROM but also happened on the earlier ROM version.

Could it be an application doing it ? I checked the notification queue, nothing abnormal there.

Anybody has the same problem or an idea ?

Perhaps a bug or 2 outstanding pending fix lists.

IF only vendors were like MS and had a publically viewable list of known bugs.

Then again if they acknowledge them we might get together for a class action.

My opinion is these devices are rushed to marked and vendors prefer to rush new models out instead of fixing existing issues.

i Know its a PITA but you might wanna go through a hard reset and see what it does on the basic "as shipped" setup. if its all ok add software 1 piece at a time until you see the problem reappear. if it fails after the reset you may have a faulty device, contact your seller.

If you find its "software x" do another hard reset and put that software on first, then see (to see if its X or if X is conflicting with another piece) then i'd make a new topic along the lines of:

My XDA mini is doing exactly the same - I was searching to see if anybody else was getting this.

I think it may well be to do with Skype as I think it started after I installed it.

Mine does it while sitting on the desk, so it's unikely to be a loose battery or contact issue. Also the fact that the radio is not affected point to a SW poblem.

I'll get rid of Skype and see how it goes

After hardreset and new installation it's work good now so it must be a SOFTWARE problem
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] meroupow:
A pocket pc should NEVER reboot alone that is a huge bug.

The only way when it gets like this is hard reset.

Then use it for a while and if there is no soft reset start installing softwares one by one.

If it soft resets after hard reset change your rom to a better one or bring it back.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gilsas:
Hi,

I had the same problem as well, random reboots. I noticed as you did that removing the miniSD storage card fixes the problem; I then tried to reformat my miniSD and it *seems* the problem has now dissapeared... Regarding the applications, the first time I noticed that problem was maybe 5 mn after I got it out of the box (was brand new) ... with no applications installed at all !

Try formatting (and then copyback the files) the miniSD, it could help ...

The funny thing concerning that problem is that it does not ask for the PIN anymore ... it makes me think it could be a 'normal' behavior, as to say that under some circumstances, WM2005 deliberately decides to reboot the device ...
