[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AYEHAN:
oh okay @ S_Off

and i am waiting for the fix

plus i did a mistake

was adding my ringtones and they are about 70 in quantity ...

so i just push the foder in data/local/tmp

deleted /system/media/audio/ringtones

rename my folder as ringtones and put it to the location in /system/media/audio

but phone isnt showing any ringtones .. unknown ringtone in personalise :/

what to do now

for alarms folder i just removed the 7 files from folder and copy the needed one and showing only 2

these 2 files are in ringtones foler too but they are not showing in ringtones but shows in alarms
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akamarukiba:
Normally you should be able to use any sound file for the ringtone in your phone, with e.g. TotalCommander you can select it. If not you could try to create a symbolic link, I do not know if it works, since i have not tried it on Android yet.

With a terminal you can create a link with "ln -s Quelle Ziel".

If I understand you correctly, you have now the files back in the system folder for ringtones, please check the permissions. My ringtones have -rw-r--r--. The alarmsounds are in a different folder and Android does not search in it if you choose your ringtone.

Be sure to thank nevergone for the recovery, if there are any issues I'll upload the one I built but I'm sure its just about the same in every way. None the less I just need to test out my twrp build fully and I'll upload that one regardless. Have finals though so it may not be until the end of next week until I pick up my vision again

Anyway, you can now use sideload with the new cw

First flash the recovery in fastboot

fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img

Then reboot to new recovery and go to advanced

cd to directory of ROM on PC then on phone go to advanced and choose sideload

Now in terminal/cmd

adb sideload nameofrom.zip

Profit!

hey buddy, sorry its been real busy

i had some time earlier but haven't had a chance to test this out (borrowing my vision to a friend)

so i make no promises but if it works let me know

if you're worried to flash it i can test in a couple of days but it should be safe

for now just boot it rather than flash it though

best of luck!

now am gonna install the recovery
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Wait, this build didn't work, got my phone back from my friend so I could test. Made a new build and adb sideload worked perfect for me! Only issue is sdext that I found but being you have no SD this shouldn't be an issue for it, give me like 10 min to upload it for you

see here
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AYEHAN:
i did flashed it already :D and its working

will check sideload tomorrow
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
That first one sideload won't work, but the second build it does, you don't have to just boot it either, all my tests its working strong!

can you guide me what i do after i logged into recovery and sideload mode, where i see slide to start sideload

what should i do now ....

E:/ unable to mount /sdcard

E: unable to recreate and-sec folder

E: unable to mount /sdcard/twrp/.twrps
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
You're right, although it works just fine for me and everyone else, sideload puts a temp package onto sdcard before it loads

There may be a way to create a recovery that sends it to internal memory but that would be a ton more work to look into

You're best option is to pick up a new sdcard slot if you can find it, usually 10 bucks on ebay

hmm ... okay ...

actually its not a primary or even secondary phone, so its not a big deal if it dont work

but my guess is its not mem bay, its the ROM ... bcoz memory was fine when i installed this rom and fater 1h mem card stopped working
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Well I've never seen a ROM do this to a phone and I just looked over this thread and all signs point to a bad sdcard tray.

Only options are to use system and boot images flashed through fastboot (which are all stock) or to fix SD tray. At least only options available right now for this phone

[Moto G General] t-bon3:

At the moment the flashing needs to be done one partition at a time using a specific motorola version of fastboot. Hopefully a new version of RSD lite will be released that simplifies the whole process.

[Moto G General] t-bon3:
If you just follow the guide above then no, your unlocked bootloader and warning will remain after flashing.

The procedure for relocking the bootloader is to issue the following command in fastboot before flashing:

mfastboot oem lock begin

then after flashing but before rebooting enter the following:

mfastboot oem lock

This should lock the bootloader BUT I have seen reports that even after re-locking there is still a warning screen saying that the bootloader has been previously unlocked!

Hello, first I apologize if this was already asked but I wasn't able to find a concrete answer.

I'd like to ask if someone tried to flash ONLY system.img with a LOCKED bootloader ( I've read about the report from tkm89 who was able to flash a stock ROM with a locked bootloader but I wonder if it's the same if you want to flash just the system partition)

if you are wondering... this is not to keep the data intact, I don't care about that, but my goal is to install a free bloatware system image without the need of root (to avoid voiding the warranty while I test the hardware works as expected) but at the same time I really don't want to flash all the other stuff (except, maybe, logo.bin)
[Moto G General] binlalo:
The zip file I've downloaded doesn't have the sparsechunk1/2/3 files and so I can't flash them into the phone. What can be wrong?

The version is fastboot_falcon_reteu_user_4.3_14.10.0Q3.X-76-LGG-11_57_release-keys-cid7-EURetail_EU

EDIT: I just downloaded the GB version to see if this one works but it's the same.

EDIT2: I also tried editing the tar file and executing flashall.bat /eu but it says "ping" and "find" are not recognized as an internal or external command.
[Moto G General] KylerW89:
First off, wanted to thank OP, I flashed unofficial cyanogen Mod earlier and a few other things to try it out but when i restored back up I had the several problems like GPS not working and camera not being able to store pictures due to lack of internal memory even though i had plenty. Finally figured a clean slate would be best and this method worked great for my Telus Canada 8Gb model with unlocked bootloader and rooted.

I got the same message but I was running 4.3 before and wanted to see if i could flash into 4.4 because my update was constantly failing before. I tried rebooting even though it said permission denied and it didnt work (obviously) but i was lucky i could still get into the bootloader but recovery would lead to an error and I couldnt restore. I just flashed the 4.3 instead and it worked perfectly. You'll have to make sure the sparsechunk file is the same as the zip though. Mine were sparsechunk.0 sparsechunk.1 and sparsechunk.2 not sparsechunk1 sparsechunk2 and sparsechunk3. Hope you guys figured it out since i noticed nobody responded and said it was fixed.

Check Windows Device Manager to see which driver windows is using.

In fastboot mode it should appear under "Android Device" as "Motorola ADB Interface" then the properties pane the "Driver Provider" is shown as "Motorola" , Driver Version 2.0.2.0.

If it's using another driver then manually choose the Motorola one.

Hey, thanks for this guide, worked wonders for me! I have a question regarding the bootloader version:

When i pull and install the 4.4.2 OTA update, does the bootloader automatically update to version 4.4? When I downgrade again, what happens to the bootloader? is it also downgraded?
