[Moto X Original Android Development] ahjee:
is there a way to reverse this for the Droid Mini/Ultra/Maxx not the MotoX as? I cannot root my device (Droid Ultra) due to this being permanent even after restoring back to stock firmware. I've tried using the RockMyMoto root method for the Droid Mini/Ultra/Maxx and it skips the first two steps, goes straight to step three because it see's that wp is off and believes that it doesn't need to run the full process.

Sorry for the sort of redundant question, I know these devices are clearly nearly the same but obviously you guys can unlock your bootloader where as we still s-off (boooo)
[Moto X Original Android Development] mrjoshzombie:
Alright, I have tried this countless times, read everything in this thread, and I am officially at a lost.

1.) Yes, I am rooted. I used jcases method weeks ago; proof:

2.) I have tried this on windows 7 about 6 times and on Ubuntu 4 times. This is what I see every single time:

Both systems have the latest adb and moto fastboot files, I can access via adb no problem at all. All drivers are up to date, SuperSu has all binaries installed, and I have root access in any app I try. You can even see that adb shell gets root access when it's prompted too.

What am I doing wrong in this situation?
[Moto X Original Android Development] beaups:
Your root is broken.
[Moto X Original Android Development] mrjoshzombie:
How is it broken when I have root access on the phone itself? Any new app I use I can grant root access to.
[Moto X Original Android Development] barondebxl:
Try uninstalling super user and then reinstall it.
[Moto X Original Android Development] mrjoshzombie:
So much more helpful than "your root is broken"

Thank you! After a full uninstall of SuperSu, all is well again. Very, very much so appreciated :good:
[Moto X Original Android Development] barondebxl:
Sure thing ;)
[Moto X Original Android Development] beaups:
Your root was broken.
[Moto X Original Android Development] Nixal:
TY, work fine =D

No more reboot for disable write protection xD
[Moto X Original Android Development] ohmimpotence:
I got "Press ENTER to exit" message, was it not successful? Xposed sticks on reboot so it seems to have worked. Adaway remains enabled as well.
[Moto X Original Android Development] 9646gt:
I keep getting the fatal error when it tries to download the upgrade package. I have disabled all my antivirus (bitdefender) features and have turned off windows firewall. WTF
[Moto X Original Android Development] TheWhiteChallenger:
so.... this is as far as i get

Please wait....

Checking for updates......

Test 1: Rebooting into bootloader

Waiting for fastboot (4/120)

Waiting

Test 2: Booting device

Waiting for ADB (37/120)

must play a little while longer...

it's so cold in here

hmm, hold please

[Moto X Original Android Development] ijustwantaname:
Did you ever find a solution to this? I'm having the same problem...
[Moto X Original Android Development] beaups:
It's root issue. Likely a superuser popup.
[Moto X Original Android Development] ijustwantaname:
Strangely, I kept trying and eventually it worked (4th or 5th try). After it goes through the loading bar there turning the asterisks to dashes though, I get a new failure:

this is getting boring, let's go ahead and get started..

clobbering (1)...
WTF: why are you even here?
Press ENTER to exit

While it's clobbering, my phone throws two quick notices that eu.chainfire.supersu has stopped and when I go to SuperSU in my apps it's disabled, so I'm guessing this is a root/SU issue (still). I've reinstalled SuperSU in both regular and recovery mode at this point though with no change, am I overlooking something obvious?
[Moto X Original Android Development] Skyrocket2Paradise:
no.... :(
[Moto X Original Android Development] ijustwantaname:
For what it's worth, mine eventually got past that point without any changes on my end (although I've since run into another road block). Uninstalling/reinstalling SuperSU probably couldn't hurt, though.
[Moto X Original Android Development] ijustwantaname:
Final update: I got it to work from another machine. No idea how one PC would cause SuperSU to crash but not another, but hey, I've got my WP off! Thanks for the hard work on this, beaups et al!
[Moto X Original Android Development] dzlvs8:
I am thankful that the uploaded made this WP exploit program.

However, instead of trying to be funny when writing a program, the person should probably error check his app. When you say something like, "dont punch, bite, or molest your phone", a person should interpret that as, ok I will ignore my phone and not touch it while the program does it's thing. While in actuality I should be watching my phone every second and be waiting to grant su access.

Would have made more sense to say this in the app instead of saying a bunch of silly phrases. Also, an error message would have been nice in the app when the program failed due to not granting su access. Instead it just says "Press enter to Exit".
[Moto X Original Android Development] beaups:
The status messages all mean something very specific to the developers. And all "press enter to exit" messages are preceded with a specific error. You would need to read that error message, we can't do that for you.

Droid Maxx Assistance

Having some issues with trying to run WpNoMo on my Droid Maxx.

Background: I'm on 4.2.2, 12.15.15 version, and I am rooted using the previous jcase method.

Running WpNoMo without issue, it gets to the part where it's cold in here, then my phones asks to be able to access ADB Shell, which I allow, then it gives a bunch of *********************** or something and asks to click enter to exit. It doesn't claim show any errors.

I go into my ADB and run "adb shell getprop ro.boot.write_protect" and I get the following:

C:\Android SDK\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20130219\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-2013

0219\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell getprop ro.boot.write_protect

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

1

So since I'm seeing a 1, I still have write protection, but since I'm not seeing an error message I'm confused as to how to proceed. And yes, I disabled my Norton Firewall and Anti-Virus. :)

Thanks in advance!
[Moto X Original Android Development] allquixotic:
I know why it's happening. Well, the most likely answer, anyway.

You're tethering your phone to your computer as your internet connection. Amirite?

MotoWpNoMo reboots your phone. So your computer's internet connection goes down. Then, once it connects back to adb, it tries to go out on the internet again and download some more things. But it can't, and times out, because your internet is down, because you didn't re-enable your hotspot. Even if you do re-enable it, it fails, because as soon as your routes change, but before your DNS server has been updated, during the DHCP client handshake, the TCP stack freaks out because it can't resolve the domain name it's trying to hit, so the connection errors out. This results in the extremely helpful error of "TTTT" being returned by MotoWpNoMo.

Could be reading this wrong, but that's what I could glean so far.

Would be great if there were a command line switch to disable the program phoning home during operation (or at least not beyond the very first step before the reboot), or a separate version of the program that doesn't do any internet access at all. Til then, I'm stuck with a 1, too. Oh well.
[Moto X Original Android Development] Dodolom:
Hi everyone -

Mac User here -

Can't seem to get past this below. I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong, so I thought I'd ask.

Background: I got my Moto X from at&t with 4.2 on it, had the camera update OTA and then 4.4 OTA update. Downgraded to the 4.2.2 camera update via RSD Lite, then got ROOT via RockMyMoto and now trying to use the MotoWPNoMo and that's where I am stuck.

Actually not tethering at all. I'm using my 4G signal. Any other ideas? Haha! :)
[Moto X Original Android Development] emerica243:
Does anyone know why im still seeing write protection of a 1 after running this? Ran it multiple times, it finishes, but always get stuck with write protection saying its still a 1.

After trying it 4 times and being stuck with a write protection of 1. I kept the phone\screen awake my last attempt and it went through and worked!

Would it be too much trouble to ask for a Mac OSX solution? I am unable to run the linux script even after adding x permissions. Any advice other than a virtual machine?
[Moto X Original Android Development] STEyeAndroid:
I wonder if Motorola would care if you had to return a phone to them and it had this WP change made. Obviously you can check for it, but I am curious if they check. Also, would making these changes void a Developer Edition warranty?
[Moto X Original Android Development] aviwdoowks:
I cannot seem to grasp the big picture of the benefit gained by this procedure. On a razr m with an non-unlockable boot & root access what is the benefit in the form of an example? That would mean running SafeStrap & compatible 4.1.2 roms.

Or how does this differ from root access?

I assume then that this gives the file system benefit of an unlock but without the recovery freedom....
[Moto X Original Android Development] jcase:
Starting with the MotoX, Motorola started applying low level write protection to parts of the flash memory (in this case just /system). Root alone does not give us the ability to modify anything in system. My original hackjob that we used to bypass this has been fixed in Android 4.4. This is required if you want to actually install su into the /system partition.
[Moto X Original Android Development] sankyou:
I don't think they would say a thing. Just my opinion, of course, but these types of things are so obscure that I don't think it even makes their radar.

So will recovery for the xt907 be expected to handle this new wp or will I need this when KK comes? I am unlocked ( boot ).
[Moto X Original Android Development] EeyoreSyndrome:
So basically if I went from being rooted with safestrap and used MotoWpNoMo to gain perma R/W = 0, I am boned if I RSD lited to stock and wish to re-root eh?

I did successfully push / install SlapMyMoto 1.0.jar to my phone (in it's current non-rooted state). If republic wireless ever releases the 4.4 update, will I be able to do the last step to re-gain root via the bluetooth toggle exploit?

I realized this is most likely the case (as in I am indeed boned and can't regain root) and YES I did read the warnings in the thread.... ::self-facepalm for being an idiot::
[Moto X Original Android Development] jcase:
XT907 is an older device right? Then this doesn't apply to it
[Moto X Original Android Development] EeyoreSyndrome:
Huzzah! After losing root from being an idiot as I stated above, I somehow regained it with this new 1.0 slap my moto even tho I am still on 4.2 o.O

I've looked threw most of theese pages.. but I'm still not having any luck... I'm also getting the error failed, press enter to close. I have tried to uninstall and re-install SU. still no luck.

[Moto X Original Android Development] xpsychox:

Edit: just realized that I never said the error, it says "no adb connection to device" but, i can open cmd and type any adb command..?
[Moto X Original Android Development] lowvolt1:
Why not just follow the xda thread instructions?

I would almost suggest at this point to flash back to 4.2.2 camera update and start over. Back up your data and wipe it all. Some people had issues if they didn't wipe everything.

ok, got got phone from verizon, got 4.4 update.. found jcase's way of useing rockmymoto and slapmymoto. pushed slapmymoto to phone as instructed. pushed rockmymoto and gained root acces, download SU and updated it. Attempted to use motowpnomo, to get ride of wp, and it errored out every time. same error everytime... then i'm stuck... i've looked all over online and found nothing. I've rsd'd back to 4.2.2 to maby get lucky? (no punt intended) that's when i tried that website, and now it tries to install 4.4 and errors out and redownloads.

SuperSu keeps crashing when trying to run "mount -o remount rw /"

Finally got it to work.. Had to switch to windows and just use the moto toolkit to root (had to reflash boot.img,recovery.img and system.img before that).. then finished up the rest on my linux pc (may have worke don windows but didn't care to try) .. Now I have no WP. Also when I installed SuperSU i DIDN"T update the SU binary, think thats what fixed the crashing
[Moto X Original Android Development] lenard_hester:
What did you do? Just run through the SlapMyMoto 1.0 instructions but skipping the OTA part? I am currently in the same spot on my Maxx. On 4.2.2 no root, but WP turned off.
[Moto X Original Android Development] EeyoreSyndrome:
Yes, pretty much. I did push a SU, wpnomo.jar and the slapmymoto1.0.jar using that telnet connection as well. Not sure if I could re-enact my exact steps though.

But I did in fact regain root after I had reflashed a stock ROM on my moto x, even after I had WP off with wpnomo.
[Moto X Original Android Development] lenard_hester:
I am going to try running the SlapMyMoto steps on 4.2.2 when I get home this evening. I was talking to someone else on the Ultra/Maxx boards that seems fairly confident it will work. Thanks for the info and the hope that it can be done.
[Moto X Original Android Development] lenard_hester:
SUCCESS!!!!!

To get back root on 4.2.2 after removing write protection, you just need to run through all the SlapMyMoto steps, skipping the OTA part. The only thing that I had to do that was not a part of the original instructions was I had to do another ADB push for the SlapMyMoto.jar after the first reboot. I tried telnetting in prior to that and I got this error message:

~ $ dalvikvm -cp /sdcard/SlapMoto.jar SlapMyMoto
Dalvik VM unable to locate class 'SlapMyMoto'
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: SlapMyMoto

... 1 more
~ $

I went back out to my command prompt, pushed the jar file again, and it worked. I don't know why or if this will be necessary for everyone, but if you run into the error, that is what I did.

Thanks to all who chimed in and helped out.

[Moto X Original Android Development] dhoppy:
I got it working. The things I did differently are USB 2.0, and I ran the program directly, instead of calling it from a command line with administrator privileges. Stated differently, I right clicked on wpbegone and selected "run as administrator" instead of typing wpbegone from a command line. Don't know why that worked, adb and fastboot were working under USB 3.0.

Since I got KitKat, the exchange service and email has been draining my battery.

I have the Verizon Dev editorial. I have experienced the battery drain when my phone was rooted and unlocked, also when it wasn't.

You'd rather change a rom than change the launcher? 0_0

You can't remove it with on GEL. You can use Nova Launcher to remove it and lose the "Ok Google" feature.

Or maybe someday someone will make a Xposed module for it. I THINK GravityBox has the option, but I'm really not sure.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
As you're probably aware the launcher is closed source. I have asked some of the developers this question and the response has been in each case that there are much bigger fish to fry for now. I'm hopeful that someone may eventually take a crack at it. Agree about the search bar. It's a mistake to fix it when so many have very specific launcher layout schemes they use. An incredible blunder fixing it on every single screen. I can't imagine who thought it would be a good idea to waste a row on EVERY screen.

For me it's a deal beaker but not the only one. I also hate that home is fixed to the left without making the screen indicator clickable as touch wiz did. For those not familiar the little dots that show what screen you are at can be made into a shortcut to take you to that screen. This gives you one touch access to any screen removing the penalty of having home fixed on one side.

[Moto X Q&A] rwrutl:
I have read the related threads and cross referenced various related post to achieve root for my moto x and have a question. There seems to be a difference in the procedural steps where the OP says to use bootloader to flash recovery img. and also follow other steps, whereas, the instructions in step 3 of the actual process, just says to apply 4.4 ota after system reeboot. Where I'm stuck at is: using the verbatim command instructions in OP, and it doesn't find the required img. files. I do understand pushing files with adb, and flashing with RSD, but I wonder if jcase rewrote the script between posts, (since step 3 just says ''apply 4.4 ota after reboot) Any assist would be appreciated
