[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KingFnerb:
Need to take my phone back to stock as I'm taking it into Best Buy for a swap (cracked screen). I'm running the latest OTA (I think) and running Beanstalk. I tried running VipeRuu but it fails

sending 'zip' (660336 KB)...
OKAY [ 26.399s]
writing 'zip'...
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 26.432s

I'd like to get it completely back to stock, including S-ON with a clean bootloader. Any help?

Edit: HBOOT-2.09.4444

OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0815
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] iandmacdonald:
FYI, BB does not give two craps about your phone being rooted. I completely wiped my phone to the point of there being no boot image, and they took it with no issues.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KingFnerb:
Yeah, I do seem to remember them mentioning that the last time I stopped in.

Either way, I did figure out what my problem above was so I'm now back on stock.
[Shield Q&A] electric0ant:
Hi anyone else having issues with PC game streaming after installing OTA 65 and the new geforce experience?

streaming steam games worked really well for me before the update, now since the update 80% of the time when i try to launch steam in my shield, it either says cannot find steam or cannot launch steam.

pretty frustrated with this as I was really enjoying streaming games to my shield and being able to play on the couch or in bed.
[Shield Q&A] akhobbes:
Same problem here after updating today. SO ANNOYED. Help!
[Shield Q&A] anthonws:
I'm also having the same issue...

Updated to GFE 1.8 and streaming stopped working. There's also no tab for Streaming in the options/settings.

I've removed/installed several times GFE 1.7 and 1.8, removed driver, reinstalled, rebooted PC/Shield, factory reset Shield, etc... Nothing helped.

There's a lot of people with the same issue:

https://forums.geforce.com/default/...after-update-65-and-geforce-experience-1-8/2/

When trying to install the 1.8 update, it failed. I had to manually kill/remove the process/service of NvStream. IMHO, this last version sucks big time.

My specs:

- Windows 8.1 Pro X64

- Core i7 920@2,66Ghz

- GTX 650 Ti

- 16GB DDR3

- Asus RT-N16 (Tomato Firmware v1.28.7503 MIPSR2Toastman-RT K26 USB VPN)

Thanks,

I was on CM10.1.3 and updated to CM10.2.0 stable. Then all my apps started crashing the phone. Chrome, g+, etc. So I foolishly tried to go back to CM10.1.3 and now my phone is stuck on the boot screen.

Looks like I didn't update the gapps for CM10.2 , anything else I am missing?

Also, any chance of fixing this or am I forced to factory reset and start over?

TIA
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jimchee:
Can you get into recovery? If so download apps for 10.2 put on your scared, wipe cache and Calvin and install 10.2 and g apps and reboot should work
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jukiewalsh:
First Wipe cache, dalvik, and system. Flash cm only, let it boot and then reboot to recovery and flash gapps and try to boot again. It should be okay then. If not do a backup and then just restore everything after a clean install
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rexassian:
Awesome, that did the trick. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rexassian:
Interestingly, none of the google apps were working so I uninstalled them all, then cleared cache/dalvik, then re-flashed gapps.

Now the app all work, they are the slightly older versions though. And I can't download anything new. Is this because the play store is now out of date? Can I force an update there or just have to wait? Thanks again. Everything else is working great.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jukiewalsh:
Clear play services and play store data and reboot
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rexassian:
unfortunately that didn't work. HEre's the exact error:

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Mr-Sale:
Hey when i try to enable my BT it says "There is no Bluetooth hardware instaled on this device."

What shall i do?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] stewarta:
Go to your extended ROM >>> see if there is a BT.cab there, and of so run it. Otherwise you may have to reflash the ROM. Maybe others will advise differently.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Mr-Sale:
Nope...that aint there... i searched a few extended rom compilations but couldnt find any BT.cab or similiar cab
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] stewarta:
BT

en

Given we are using the same ROM version (Sin's merged), then I think the drivers are there but it sounds as thought the icon (BT_Icon.cab in the ROM) may be missing. What you could do is download BTH Tools v.1010 from XDA-Developers ... I found it yesterday by doing a search. This is installed from a PC and may help you get it going. It is not a BT engine, merely a means of activating/deactivating BT and it shows which battery is in use as well.

I have a weird one as well in that my BT works well in connecting with a laptop computer, but when I use it with a Plantronics M3000 BT earpiece, I have to re-do the connection the hard way (i.e., pair the damn thing) after every time the XDA II is suspended. I don't think it is the Plantronics device (which is a piece of ****e in my experience) alone .... will sort it even if I have to buy a better BT earpiece. Maybe others have some advice??

My Dad just bought a 10.1 2014 for his work (he is a therapist so he is using it for client notes)

When he is done and tries to convert the handwriting to text it does this weird thing.

Ill post a pic when I get home

But basically it converts the text but shoves it all over to the left hand side. Its like it pushes it over past the edge of the note, of course you cant slide over because thats the edge of the page.

Any Ideas what the crap is going on? It does it every single time.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jedoy:
Can you post a picture? I have the note 3 and it doesn't do that in Snote. I do have a note 10.1 but its the older version so I don't think this will apply to this.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jedoy:
I have no idea why it's doing that. Maybe the font size is too big?

Give this a try.

-After you convert things to text, go up to the tools and click on the T tool just to see if you're able to interact with it somehow.

-If yes, then click out to the white background then select the Rectangle selector and tap on the text and move it to the center.

-Tap on it again and it should show 4 options 'properties' 'cut' 'copy' 'delete'

-Click on properties and play around with it. It could be that the margins are weird or the text is too long for the screen.

Hopefully this helps a little bit. I don't know the issue well as I don't have the tablet, only the note 3. Tell me how it goes.

Ok wait, I was just able to replicate your problem! I recorded it. See if you're able to do the same. I'm uploading the video to youtube now. I'll post the link once it's uploaded.

Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3b2tRS1IZw&feature=youtu.be

I just did what I posted above sort of. Let me know if it worked for you.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zynx:
If the post above doesnt work, you might wanna try asking in the note 10.1 2014 edition forum. You would most likely get an answer there than over here.

Just in case you arent aware that the 2014 edition has its own forum.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeny:
Ok So for anyone who may have this issue in the future

If you convert the text and it shoves it over to the side, you dont use the lasso to re highlight it

just tap it once with the pen and it will let you move it around.

I was trying to re circle it and thats what wasnt working. And once you tap out of it of course you lose the ability to edit it.

Thanks for the help folks !

[Moto X General] EeyoreSyndrome:
Thanks for this. RW user here.

I used the toolkit here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2477132

It made rooting idiot proof for me. Any good custom Roms working with RW yet? And can I install modded system apps as a zip in the recovery? (I'm addicted to team blackouts clear apps).

My thanks again.
[Moto X General] jumphour:
LOL oh sure.....I did the old ADB method. I haven't rooted anything in like 2 years. Took me forever. Wish I saw your post!

Oh, now that I have TB installed, should I freeze the update so I don't get KitKat until I have this all figured out? Not that it'll be a rush, since RW says "early 2014"....but I might as well if you think I should freeze it just in case.
[Moto X General] travisn000:
Does any of this allow for use of a SIM from a carrier other than Republic? I have a buddy looking for an occasional use phone that will be used both here in the US, but also when visiting family in Romania.. he would like to be able to use a romainian SIM while traveling.
[Moto X General] bongostl:
Great guide, but it probably should be in the General folder rather than the Original Development....I'm guessing an admin will move it!

Thanks for putting this together...I was just debating getting one of these!
[Moto X General] EeyoreSyndrome:
Republic as Sprint uses CDMA for cell-network. The SIM in these phones are for LTE connectivity for data only. And Republic service is for US residents only. (Tho if you travel, as long as you have WiFi everything is gravy, not sure how roaming over there would work though.)
[Moto X General] n1ckr0th:

[Moto X General] kellison007:
Thank you for this guide. Would you be able to post/link the moto firmware for our device? The main person's site hosting all these are down.

Edit: Firmware Site is back up. Would be interested in what ROMs you've tried/works.
[Moto X General] wbehuman:
Yeah, I couldn't get the link to work either. I did find a Republic Wireless download for the Moto X on their site, but I'm still not sure if it's the right one.
[Moto X General] RobertsDF:
What roms have your flashed?
[Moto X General] wbehuman:
I haven't flashed anything yet. I wanted to make sure that I would be able to complete the unroot method using RSD lite before I tried anything else. As far as I can tell, I've found the correct download for the Republic Moto x and I'm going to give it a shot. I'm definitely no expert and I have very limited knowledge about the details of WHY all this stuff works, but I've been successful in rooting and modifying many different phones and tablets (of varying degrees of difficulty) by just carefully and thoroughly studying instructions and forums and following the instructions. Any advice that I could get would be greatly appreciated
[Moto X General] SubliminalME:
Nobody flashes roms on a moto x. A rooted device is not an unlocked device. A rooted locked device doesn't accept a non stock kernel. You can flash like 2 roms now and they are basically just cleaned up stock roms. Here's what you do with a rooted Moto x. You install xposed. You install gravity box. This let's you install a reboot menu, maybe change around some settings which stock roms don't let you, status bar stuff, for example. You install ad blocking software. That's pretty much it.

Think of the roms you've installed. They're basically roms that get rid of touchwiz or sense, and bring it closer to stock. We already have stock. Without a kernel, which requires an unlocked bootloader, there's no over clocking.
[Moto X General] RobertsDF:
I've used the Republic Fxz to flash back to stock, it worked fine.
[Moto X General] davidricardo86:
Just discovered this thread, subscribed and will be following for progress and updates. Thanks for all your hard work and effort.
[Moto X General] kellison007:
Thank you for clearing this up, very helpful. Was wondering if anyone had a rough list of which programs(visible or not) that are safe to remove after obtaining root. For example, using the un-install(system apps) feature in Titanium Backup.

Also, how much memory do you think the Stock Rom slot is taking. I feel just so low on memory when installing a certain number of apps. Wondering if I should ditch the custom rom slots and simply use the main stock-ROM. Just redo this guide's restore feature if I happen to f**k anything up. Any examples of what other are doing are much appreciated.

---------- Post added at 03:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

Republic Wireless's Moto X has a locked bootloader so custom roms cant be flashed at the moment, and the Moto X only accepts roms signed by Republic as of now, which explains why you were able to flash stock.

RW Safestrap Bootloop and a failed Restore

I just tried to restore My RW after a bootloop happened on my safestrap image. It wouldn't allow me to get to safe straps boot screen. Tried the restore and ever other option on the fast boot screen. Finally I tried the unroot restore with the stock RW image. Followed the steps. It failed at step 7. Any advice?
[Moto X General] kellison007:
I had the same problem you might to download fastboot and clear the cache or even user data(this will usually wipe everything). If all else fails you will probably need to start from scratch with the beginning of this guide.
[Moto X General] jbrukardt:
for those of you trying to mount system as ext4, you may have an issue because on the moto X, system ISNT ext4. its F2FS

From hashcode (safestrap dev)

this is primarily the /data part, but itd be worth trying to mount system as F2FS as well.

really wish i hadnt missed that unlocking via china session, that would make life a ton easier.
[Moto X General] dk20005:
Agreed!

Do you just need a kitkat system dump? If so I can pull all the files from my phone (unlocked bootloader). I don't know if that's what you need, but I could do that pretty easily.
[Moto X General] LARBIFY:
I made a post in the Republic Wireless community section asking for the ability to unlock bootloaders, I really doubt they will allow it or even respond to it but if you really want it you should upvote it and maybe add a comment.

Right now the only option for unlocking is to hope Republic Wireless is nice and listens to us

Do you know that you can get the full 4.4.2 SBF? jong31 flashed his phone with it and cleared up some issues that he had with the OTA update

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0

Scroll down to the two RW listings, download links and checksums are there. Get the Blur_Version.165.44.12.ghost_row.RepublicWireless.en.US version. The one listed above it is the 4.2.2 ROM as you may already know.

Not sure how to go about installing that inside SafeStrap though. I am only aware of SS, not proficient or experienced. Do you know if an SBF can be flashed into one of the virtual ROM slots? Or will (m)fastboot not work [the way I would like it to] in the SS/TWRP environment?

If wishes were fishes the whole world would stink. :rolleyes:
[Moto X General] jbrukardt:
yep, grabbed it already. Will still lose ability to safestrap and root, not willing to sacrifice that just yet.

edit: wonder if the 442 update.zip updates the bootloader. IE, you have to run update.zip before you can just direct flash the SBF. Id actually far prefer to start clean, and just direct flash the sbf if i were to start over.
[Moto X General] malcolmputer:
If you open up the zip of the sbf, it has a recovery.img so it most likely updates the bootloader.
[Moto X General] jong31:
If you're asking whether you need to flash the update.zip that was captured by one of the 2000 before you directly flash the SBF, the answer is no. Go ahead and use fastboot or RSD to flash the SBF.
[Moto X General] malcolmputer:
Do realize that unless you have an unlocked bootloader, this will kill your chances at root and safestrap.
[Moto X General] jbrukardt:
yep yep, which is why im holding. I've grown too accustomed to having xposed framework, titanium backup, cerberus, etc. Id rather stay on jelly bean than lose all that.
[Moto X General] Rashed97:
If you want that could be great. All I'd do with it is try to extract any bootloader files (I'm gonna try to figure out if we can copy your bootloader to our devices)

I've tried. They stonewalled me. I also offered to update their OS to 4.4 back in December free of charge, they said no to that too.

Yeah the 4.4.2 zip updates the bootloader

The bootloader is actually motoboot.img
[Moto X General] jong31:
Where are those files within the filesystem? Just tell me whatever directories you need and I'll grab them for you
[Moto X General] jbrukardt:
offered to update their OS eh? Have you managed to extract the republic wireless wifi calling/sms/etc subsystem?
[Moto X General] malcolmputer:
I believe what he is looking for is in /system , but we will see.
[Moto X General] malcolmputer:
further update. The system.img is not ext4, f2fs, yaffs2, or sparse (simg2img) ext4.

According to binwalk, it doesn't look like it has a partition or filesystem at all. Binwalk sees a bunch of gzip and zip archives and apk's but no superblock for ext4 or f2fs or anything else.

I am not really familiar with all of the android stuff, but from a firmware/linux standpoint I am stumped. Anybody got some advice on how to extract the moto x's system.img?

On the brighter side, my gentoo system now supports every filesystem I have ever heard of.
[Moto X General] Rashed97:
I'm still working on that. Motorola has hidden them well. My old LG was so much easier to deal with...

Yeah that stuff's easy. Of course I don't have the official code, but I do have (or did have since I've since deleted) the smali code

If you can get those gzip, zip, and apk files, I can work with those (I think, need to see exactly what they are)

I just don't want to use the update.zip they pushed out since its a tad bit buggy still.
[Moto X General] glarepate:
Bootstrapping -- Myself!

Ok guys, although I have done a bit of rooting in the past I find myself out of my depth here. The flip side of that is that I am now switched over to Debian and am doing the install of binwalk and friends (from here: https://code.google.com/p/binwalk/wiki/QuickStart ) and looking to upgrade my skilz.

Please be patient with me while I try to get up to speed. I have been pretty impressed with the work I see here so far. Now I hope to be able to reach the point where I can contribute instead of just lurk/cheerlead.

Ok, install complete, I will now start pulling over the SBF from my Slackware disks and see what I can figure out.
[Moto X General] glarepate:
Here is a listing (5.2 MB) of the files from binwalk:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73634682/System_image_file_list

So far the extraction process by binwalk has pulled 235 GB of files out of the system.img file!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I may have to terminate the run here shortly as I am about to run out of disk space on that filesystem volume.
[Moto X General] jbrukardt:
awesome job, thanks glareplate
[Moto X General] glarepate:
When it hit 243 GB I whacked the binwalk process. I might have been able to squeeze a bit more out of it but I have less than 2 GB left in my /home partition and didn't want to get boxed out and have to do a rescue operation.

I can mount another partition and get the remaining files pulled out I think. I haven't compared the file listing to the directory listing yet to see how much is left to extract. But before I do I want to find out from Rashed what files he is looking for. I can host them on Box (50 GB) and/or Google Drive (75GB), but I will have to do it in shifts if he needs everything. :cyclops:
[Moto X General] jbrukardt:
every step is a small one, at least we have some sort of level of access to system now. Just a matter of tuning what Rashed needs now.
[Moto X General] glarepate:
The output from binwalk of what was in the system.img looks pretty opaque in terms of what the content is. Here is a recursive directory listing with file sizes that I'm sure is much more useful in terms of seeing what you may want to get copies of.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/73634682/directory_listing_recursive_with_sizes

I may have to go out and do some things in the real world today but I will check back when time and space harmonize. <o_0}
[Moto X General] jbrukardt:
Ok, based off other safestrap development, it looks like what has to be done is as follows. Correct if im wrong.

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/development/rom-4-4-2-safestrap-flashable-stock-roms-t2683063

Looks like once the safestrapable rom is developed, we will still have to manually flash kernel, modem, and fsg from the sbf.

So, that said, those are a prime target for extraction from the sbf

filenames should be as follows:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

then you

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

And here's how it was done on verizon, for reference:

"I'm downloading the sbf now and will try to throw it together tomorrow after work."

Hmm, we need to extract the system.img because the update.zip produces some problems. If he can do that, great.
