Hello!

I have again a problem.

I unlocked the bootloader, when it start shows the screen.

I want to root but nothing.

I downloaded the Superboot, and I do this:

OSs-MacBook-Pro:r2sr maverick$ chmod +x superboot-mac.sh

OSs-MacBook-Pro:r2sr maverick$ sudo ./superboot-mac.sh

Password:

downloading 'boot.img'...

OKAY [ 0.356s]

booting...

OKAY [ 0.251s]

finished. total time: 0.607s

OSs-MacBook-Pro:r2sr maverick$

But when restart nothing. I downloaded googleplay store the superSU , but it shows:

There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it.

:crying:

I do it with windows but not rooted too... :(

Not that it matters right now, because we don't have any CM

Also, CyanogenMod is spelt wrong at the end. And I am pretty sure that you can remove all preJB words

This is a JB ROM

And there is no need to label JB as 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 because we only have 4.3

Also, you should add the two root methods for KK

Thanks for mentioning. I have made rest of the changes except for the 2 Root methods. Will add them to the Op. All changes are done.

Between the two methods you have mentioned, the basic premise of bootloader downgrade is pretty much the same right ? Your's seems more elaborate list of steps. Or am I missing something ?

Hello!

I'm disappeared about this phone. It is not a smartphone, it is a stupidphone!

1 - How can I turn off the google search bar on the home screen?

Settings > Apps > All > Google Search and disable is Not working!

4 - How can I use different sound, and volume, to the alarms. I use 7 alarms, and I don't like wake up loud, or I can't hear on the street the gently sounds.

3 - How can I put different background on lock screen, and home screen?

Thank you very much!
[Moto G General] Piaer:
1) Use another launcher - like Apex. It's the same design but much more customisable

4) It's general Android question - youl find that in google. Btw, set volumes to maximum

3) On stock launcher the homescreen and locksreen wallpaper is the same. I believe you could customize it in Apex.

Moto G full backup of internal memory

Great thread.

I wanted to point out very nice guide how to backup whole internal storage of moto g (and other phones/tablets that dont have sd card slot).

After trying different (fancy) methods with otg usb cardreader, cifs mount tools and other crap, i came across this beutiful KISS guide so i tought i share it: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29862574&postcount=1

[Moto G General] Perseus:
Oh there are a lot of ways to Nandroid. To my knowledge, ONandroid by [MENTION=1754759]prboy1969[/MENTION] is one of the popular ones after Regular Nandroid.

The method you have linked need to be tested for this phone before I can link to it.
[Moto G General] angrybb:
First, dont quote if reply is right after post you are replying too.

2nd Odroid cant make FULL (not just some, but ALL partitions and gap between them(if any)), but EVERY SINGLE sector, so whole raw 7.8 GB of data) backup because you dont have where to put it, we dont have sdcard. I guess you know that you cant save full backup on the same storage you are backing up. This kind of backup is good for eventual jtag restore if phone is bricked. Simply put this is clone of your internal memory.

It is also good for searching interesting stuff with hex editor.

edit:

Oh, forgot to mention. I tested it and it is working.
[Moto G General] Perseus:
Onandroid has a Windows & Linux based Script that runs in background and image MD5 is created on the Host computer. The location and compression depends on Host OS.

Yes I am aware what the process you linked does. Its also used commonly to take a Rom Dump for devices for whom firmware is not offered separately by Manufacturer. This is why I said I'd link if it has been tested on this device. Since you tested on yours, did you happen to restore it as well ? Also which variant do you have on which this was tested? (I'd prefer to provide as much information as possible for informed judgment.)

P. S. You don't have to be so standoffish about me quoting. I quoted for the sake of those on Tapatalk and XDA Mobile. They sometimes have hard time with bad text wraps and difficulty in following. Besides if my response landed on next page, even on Computer it'd be difficult to follow.
[Moto G General] angrybb:
Ok, I was a bit excited last night, didn't mean to be rude.

I have German retail version of Moto G with 8GB mem. Unlocked bootloader, rooted and faux 002 mainline kernel. Backing up this way works. I did not tried restore, hope i never will have to do it, but I am pretty sure it will work.

It is interesting to mention that while i was browsing the dump with hex editor i found imei in non encrypted form. On my previous phone, SGA II, this was not the case. I also found some goo.gl links that pointed to google drive files with restricted access and to some motorola site. Also found some fastboot oem syntax for dumping ram and partitions, but bootloader wont allow those even with bootloader unlocked, it says command restricted. In general a lot more data is in plain text than it was in ACE II so i think someone with better skils will eventualy dig out something.

Maybe i will post new thread about exploring those small partitions in front of cache, system and data and comparing each others dumps. And it is always safer (and easier) to do this ḱind of stuff on dumps than on real live partitions on the phone.

Here are those links, maybe someone get lucky:

http://goo.gl/7fS50o For me not found, but seems to point to some fastboot

http://goo.gl/gPmhU spreadsheet?

http://goo.gl/0p3rjz runtime-products?

and some fastboot stuff:

Exception happened in bootloader Entering fastboot mode Fastboot Reason: %s New RAM dump available (see 'fastboot oem ramdump')
[Moto G General] Perseus:
Yes this could be a start for new Rom Development. On the Moto X, someone made a dump like this and then started the Rom Development.

What form is your Dump in (ZIP, IMG etc) ? Would it suffice to start a CM Device tree ? Typically these are the questions a developer would look to answer.

On off chance, I picked apart one of the stock firmware files. They are in image format. Shouldn't be a big deal to pick apart on Linux.

Lastly the links gave the same result to me as did to you.
[Moto G General] angrybb:
I used dd command for backup so i guess you could say it is in img format. I would call it raw format. I am no dev so can't say how much would it help for CM tree. I guess not much because this is all binary data, not source. Maybe for some blobs.
[Moto G General] creeve4:
In the Root section you state:

This is misleading as all currently available root methods require an unlocked bootloader.
[Moto G General] Perseus:
It is my understanding that the Bootloader downgrade does not require unlocked bootloader.
[Moto G General] kirkludlow:
Hi I rooted my moto g yesterday and tested the infusion ROM. I wasn't a huge fan of the ROM so I flashed back to my stock, rooted backup and now I have a couple of problems:

1) under Settings- Storage its says that my total available space is 5.52gb, my currently available storage is 2.06gb but my apps (571mb), pictures (332kb), Audio (168kb), downloads (234mb) and cache (1.92mb) don't equal ~3.4gb. What can I do to fix this?

2) since rooting or flashing infusion (not sure which one, didn't test between) my camera gives me the message "your internal storage is running out of space...." When I try to take a picture.

Overclocking anyone?

Hi all...

I've been reading some posts on the custom roms and some say they can overclock the Moto G to 1.6Ghz. Some say that the performance doesn't change or it's slower at higher clock rates.

I have a Moto G rooted and I was wondering how can I test this using the stock rom. I can install SetCPU but I think I'll need to thinker with the custom settings to allow higher clocks.

Since this is the resources thread and nobody talked about plain overclock I would like to know if there is any problem in using SetCPU or similar programs with the stock rom.

Thank you ;)
[Moto G General] Perseus:
Frequency changes are dependent on the Kernel. I doubt the Stock kernel will let you do much. Better use Trickster Mod.
[Moto G General] bckspc:

[Moto G General] oldblue910:
[MENTION=3639717]Perseus71[/MENTION] If you want to add info for the Moto G Google Play Edition to the OP, here is all the relevant stuff:

1. It's XT1032, international GSM edition with no support for the 1700 MHz AWS band.

2. The bootloader is unlockable with the standard "fastboot oem unlock" just like all Nexus and GPE devices. It does not require an unlock key or anything funky like that.

3. Currently there are no custom recoveries available as the current ones for the retail Moto G won't boot on the GPE variant. After talking a1Pha about it, he seems to think we're going to have to wait until Motorola drops kernel source before we can get a CWM or TWRP build that will boot on the GPE variant. See this thread for more discussion: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2617087

4. Once unlocked, the bootloader cannot be re-locked unless you flash signed system images, which Motorola has not (yet) made available.

5. There are no working root methods at this time since there are no custom recoveries and non-recovery methods like superboot don't boot on the GPE variant.

If you have any other questions about it, I'll be happy to assist.
[Moto G General] Perseus:
Thanks, I will certainly add this information. It was my impression that Motorola allowed Rooting via their Developer program for this device. Is that not the case ?
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
Add far as I can see there isn't a single mention of the Moto G GPE anywhere on Motorola's developer pages. It's a brand new device though. It may be a few weeks still.
[Moto G General] Perseus:
I checked and came to the same conclusion. I believe Moto G as a device is pretty young. That could be additional factor. But given the extent of its popularity, I am sure, Motorola will pay heed.

P.S. I have added information you had provided.
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
Awesome. The only thing I would say is that the GPE is available in both 8 and 16GB versions. I have a 16GB.
[Moto G General] Perseus:
Question though, is there a way to try and flash root injected Stock firmware ?
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
Well if you're talking about something like Superboot, it won't boot on the GPE. If you're saying flash the retail ROMs, then that kind of defeats the purpose of a Google Play Edition. :)
[Moto G General] Perseus:
Nope. I meant Stock Firmwares from Motorola, such as here. Can it be edited to inject Root ?
[Moto G General] justjr:
There is something on debloating the device?
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
There is no stock firmware available for the Google Play Edition yet. If there was, you might be able to grab a copy and inject root, but we'd actually need the firmware first.
[Moto G General] Perseus:
There's some discussion on the Q&A Thread for this.

What I linked Earlier was said to be compatible for the Play edition. Is this not so ? That page lists XT1032.
[Moto G General] oldblue910:
XT1032 has both retail variants and GPE. Same model number

Ah I see. Thanks for clarifying.

I'm hoping to get something cleared up. I wanted to post this in the Moto Tool thread but I can't because I don't have enough posts. Anyway, I have a Moto G Gpe and I have the bootloader unlocked but it is not rooted. I haven't rooted it because in this thread it states that there are no custom recoveries available for the Gpe device and in the Moto Tool thread the directions state you must install a custom recovery to root it much like I did with my Nexus 7. Flashing roms and recoveries and all that doesn't scare me but I don't want to brick my device and I haven't found anything I consider to be "concrete" that any of these root process' work for the pure Gpe version. I know you can convert a Motorola version to a Gpe version after flashing a custom recovery with the Moto Tool but it doesn't say anything about rooting a pure Gpe version.

Any direction in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
[Moto G General] Perseus:
I have linked both CWM and TWRP in OP. Perhaps you could post in those threads to see if the developer is willing to help you. Did you see the thread by @paulobrien that I linked ? Particularly see his MoDaCo Guide.
[Moto G General] Nizzoball:
Thank you. Yes, I saw your link to [MENTION=220328]paulobrien[/MENTION] but that was the part of your op that is making me question the published rooting methods. About [MENTION=220328]paulobrien[/MENTION]'s thread you state:

"Next in order to Root, please follow this thread by [MENTION=220328]paulobrien[/MENTION] . As you will see, there are two ways to go about it. Both do require your Bootloader to be unlocked. However, neither method, applies to the Google Play Edition (XT1032) as there is no supporting Custom Recovery for this variant. "

Sorry for boogering up your thread, I just really want to root my phone but I don't want to try to force it and brick it. (and I don't have enough posts to post in the Moto Tool thread)
[Moto G General] robin0800:
The easiest way to root is to install a custom recovery that works with GPE then search for this file "UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.93.zip" and install it through your custom recovery
[Moto G General] Nizzoball:
That's what i'm looking for is a custom recovery that works with GPE but so far i've only found methods that specifically state not for GPE (this thread) and ones that make it kind of seem like it will work with the GPE but don't specifically say "this will work with the GPE" which doesn't exactly give me warm fuzzies (moto tool) and the [MENTION=220328]paulobrien[/MENTION] modaco method which I tried (but didn't work) after downloading it from another site because I couldn't make it through the survey mambo to get the download link on modaco.com. I wish they would just have a "pay me $1 or 2 to download this package and skip the survey circle that probably won't work" button.

The problem is, my question really belongs in the MotoTool thread because I really just wanted to know if MotoTool will work with the GPE version, or save that I was thinking maybe someone would chime in and say "no, moto tool doesn't work with that version but xxxxxxxx method will" and I could use that. Unfortunately I can't post in that thread yet though.

I'm really not retarded, I promise. I've never run into this many confusing questions with any of my other devices, it's always been pretty clear cut.
