[HTC One X] GuestK00193:
ok since these past few days i ust cant get my head around the logic behind this, the files needs updating when upgrading the rom are:

-Boot.img(kernel)

-Recovery.img

-Hboot(firmware.zip)

-and all the main OS files inc system folder

now, the only part of the upgrade which checks and requires same CID is firmware.zip(Hboot) which is included in OTA and apparently the first step of the official process.

and then there's the fact that OTA's can be manually updated by getting renamed to update.zip and pushed to sdcard folder and then installed from custom recovery which also skips Hboot update (and if required by the rom it wont boot) and better that kernel is pushed manually after as well.

k so now, i came to all these info from reading the forum and my question is, if someone has a Hboot version matching or higher than what is needed by a rom is it not possible to just install any OTA from any CID and not wait for the update for one's own matching CID?

if all this is not right then how rom's like these work (posted by guys at ARHD):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1546970

its 4.18 and can be installed on any CID and if you install stock recovery and stock boot.img from the rom you'll get updates as well.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
the story is not completely true, you need a nandroid backup that matches the main version number ! 4.18.401 can not be installed on any cid.....only on the phones with that main version. it happens to be wwe non branded and that number covers many different cids !

and your example only works when your own phone has officially that main number. if your phone is for instance 4.18.707 (example) you can NOT use it to update the phone !
[HTC One X] GuestK00193:
ok im a bit MORE confused now. what you mean by main number? im guessing by your post thats its the last 3 digits? is that relevant to CID? and how to know which main number's cover / compatible with other main number's?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Your official main number can be shown by this fastboot command

Fastboot getvar version-main

The number that comes out is the nand you need to be able to update the phone. So when your official main number is 3.16.415.xx then you can not update via a 3.18.401.....you need a 3.16.415 (example again)
[HTC One X] GuestK00193:
but my question is still unanswered,
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
No you can not update the phone by flashing other CIDS ota.....that was the question ....right ?

The rom you are referring to is "made" custom so it can be installed on any hox with any cid !

But somebody with a different main version number can NOT update the phone via that rom. That is ONLY possible when that particular phone has the exact same main version number.

Ow and if a phone is locked by a carrier it's not only the firmware that checks compatibility, also system apps are aligned too, they come with so called bloatware and have to be present too. I know what your view is but it will not work.

Want to upgrade ? Use only stuff based on your specific cid and main version number.

Understand me now ?
[HTC One X] GuestK00193:
yep got it. i thought that rom is stock and untouched, that seems to be the main mistake i made.

thank you so much.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlim0930:
how hard is it to replace the silver edge rim part on the note3 ? i dropped my phone the other day and its a bit dented but now the outside shiny silver is pilling a bit...
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aygriffith:
Its not easy like the Note 2. The silver trim is part of the midplate that the glass/screen is bonded to and the board sits on the other side of. They sell it separately but unless you consider yourself incredibly patient and skilled with a heat gun (to separate the glass from your current midplate) you'd be best to leave it alone.

The part is less than $20 without the Screen/Digitizer/Glass and almost $300 all together.

Another casualty of trimming the size of the phone.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redalertlb:
Unless its terribly terribly bad its not worth the risk or hassle. Just get a case. I did it and if I knew then what I know now I would have just bought a new case.

Not available to me, as I'm on the 4.4 leak.

I'd flash back to stock right now, but the USB cable I have with me has been flaking out all day.

I'm excited to see if the official release fixes some of the issues I've been having with video playback. I'm getting seg-faults from several players while trying to decode MKVs. (Various files, some h.264 and some webm.)

I'm super impressed with how Motorola has been handling the 4.4 rollout.
[Moto X General] lithium133:

[Moto X General] CollinFX45:
OH EM GEE!

I JUST got my Moto X yesterday and spent all morning unlocking the bootloader, flashing TWRP and doing a full backup. I figured 4.4 was at least a few weeks out (like an idiot).

I just caused myself a lot of work. **sigh** time to start researching how to get back to stock to upgrade.

[Moto X General] phositadc:
Actually that does help. It's a newer version than the leak. Which means all the time I spent setting up the leak is a waste since now I need to return to stock to get the OTA!

[Moto X General] CollinFX45:
Exactly! Well, you probably have more work than me though as I'm on custom-recovery 4.2.2.

So, how can I save this update for us? Could we then flash?

For anyone that needs the build number and screenshot:
[Moto X General] elijahah:
I'm also curious about this as I am unlocke, rooted, and with a custom recovery but not on the leak.. would i just have to get the stock recovery?
[Moto X General] CollinFX45:
That's what I am thinking. I backed up my stock recovery from another version of the Moto X I had (Mexico Nextel version) and I wonder if I could flash that right now, then unroot, then take the OTA.

Worth a try? Worst case is that I have to use RSDLite and start over.

-Collin-
[Moto X General] sleepyguy007:
I just installed it. It does feel faster than before. I dont have any lag on the unlock like some people were complaining about. New camera focus is nice
[Moto X General] Steve-x:
The lag doesn't seem to always occur. I only get it now and then, no idea when or if it will happen. It might take a day or two before you see it.
[Moto X General] mrbradeli:
Well that came out of nowhere. Updating now.
[Moto X General] CollinFX45:
Argh. No luck flashing the stock recovery, unrooting and then trying to take the OTA update. It booted into stock recovery, installed the update halfway, gave an "error" and then rebooted and said the update failed. Darn, I guess something must have changed in the system files to cause an error with the update :(

Guess I have to wipe it clean with RSDLite and do this the hard way.

Let's start !

:

in terminal, just type the lines,

in ADB, add "adb" before the commands

if you want not to display the output in terminal, specify the path :

command > /where_you_want_your_output_to_be_stored/name_you_want_for_the_log

to know if KSM is really turned on : KSM means Kernel Samepage Merging, may not exist on Moto G stock or custom roms

cat /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run

to know what modules are running :

lsmod

install an app from terminal :

pm install /sdcard/app1.apk

from adb :

adb install /home/user/app1.apk

(if your .apk is located there :p)

your kernel crashed?

cat /proc/last_kmsg

ex : from adb, and stored in /home/user/last_kmsg1

adb cat /proc/last_kmsg > /home/user/last_kmsg1

an app crashed, you want to know why?

logcat

ex : from adb and stored in /home/user/myfirstlogever

adb logcat > /home/user/myfirstlogever

don't have an USB cable ?

or adb "other the air" :

connect to your home wifi network (both device and pc)

in settings/dev options/ enable adb on TCP/IP

adb connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:5555

(the IP is the one displayed in the option you choose previously :)

and then, since it is connected, catch the log :

adb logcat > /home/user/myfirstlogever

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toby913:
having all this, do you know of anyone who is already working on cyanogenmod and other custom roms and kernels?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
i don't know, but if the community is cool, calm, willing to work and contribute, thankful and "not flaming people that try to build something" then maybe there will be some devs coming for some work around here ;)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toby913:
well then i'll ask differently do you think that the device needs something like a custom-rom or kernel?

what do you think generally about it?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
With custom kernels (they generaly are better optimised than stock) we'll get overclock (some extra performance but mostly useless) ; Undervolt (extremely efficient for getting higher battery life when the device is idle ie: nearly no drain in deep sleep contrary to non undervolted device) ; other IO shedulers (that can give better perf in IO : i made some work about this on my old device see here and here and many otehr cool features.

With Custom roms like CM, PA, AOKP, PAC ... we'll get many features as personalizations, theming, performances settings... and many things you could get on stock rooted rom + Xposed, but that's better when things are in the code ;)

But at first, i mean when a kernel/rom is young we'll get instabilities, crashes, maybe some soft bricks : That's the price for cool and fully working Customs :cool:

All is based on what you want :

stability (mostly) and simpleness = stay on stock :)

performance, long lasting battery, fully optimised kernel, extra features, BUT instabilities or littles crashes/drawback = go on Customs ;)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toby913:

adb install packagename.apk

Is going to be easier than using package manager via adb shell.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
thx,

is that full syntax ? no path for app name ?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
I'm summing adb in the same location as the apk, or (as I have it) in the path.

Also unlocking your bootloader does still void your warranty, it's only the developer versions that it doesn't.

about falcon_umts : i don't know, but Falcon was one of Motorola's series (i1 was part of the Falson series) but Moto G is part of the XT series ... maybe a codename ; and UMTS is a network system based on GSM

is that what you wanted ?

edit : regarding the build.prop, Falcon is MotoG codename :)

[SIZE=+1]Q18: How to flash Stock Radio / Kernel and why?[/SIZE]

Flashing the latest Radio may help if you have problems with poor signal or wifi coverage. Flashing the SS (Single Sim) radio on a Dual Sim device may cause one or both Sims to stop working. Likewise, flashing the radio from a non-CDMA device to a CDMA one, is a very bad idea.

Flashing a newer / different Radio or Kernel may improve battery-life and general performance

ClockWorkMod Recovery or TWRP is required to flash these images.
