[Moto G Android Development] SickBeast:
Unlocked bootloader?

---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 AM ----------

So someone has tested flashing the aws rom onto a non aws Moto g and it didn't work. :(
[Moto G Android Development] stonedpsycho:
Yes m8. Already unlocked as been trying to root, gona try that now.
[Moto G Android Development] skfalco:
I'm using a moto G from telcel Mexico and it's asking me for the unlock code, everything went flawless, except for this of course, and no update at the time think i will revert back to stock and wait for update.zip, thanks in advance OP, i was thinking of flashing the old MODEM think that would help? thanks
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
Unlock code? Can you be more specific?
[Moto G Android Development] jnrbshp:
Does the US Global GSM rom still have the carrier name in the status bar like the international version?

Would prefer if it just looked like this....
[Moto G Android Development] dj_Duff:
So, the main question here: has anyone received OTA Kitkat after flashing US firmware?
[Moto G Android Development] drfr:
I'm running Global US, no OTA yet after three days. Tried to change ID couple of times too. And no, no carrier name in stat bar.
[Moto G Android Development] lauren:
Yah this is *really* bugging me since i flashed a Euro firmware from my US firmware - the damn carrier name takes up nearly a third of my status bar. Seriously WTF? I buy unlocked phones from the manufacturer for several reasons, and this crap is one of them. Now I guess I have to wait until the KitKat update comes out before rooting again

*sigh*
[Moto G Android Development] shaftenberg:
Carrier name in EU ROMs are normal. Here is my mod to remove it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2546250

As of the speed: Can it be that 3G and H+ are the same in speed? My H+ has a download of 7Mbit too...
[Moto G Android Development] lauren:
I guess it's possible they are the same speed but I could not get an H or H+ symbol to show at all until I flashed the DE firmware, so I am inclined to think there is a difference, but that would depend on a specific carrier in a specific location for a comparison. If they are the same why would the US firmware not have an H or H+ symbol? Seems odd to me.
[Moto G Android Development] ferreinf:
Over 384Kbps it's hsdpa or hsupa, h+ so if you got 7/9Mbps you're using H+

Sent from my Moto G
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
Updated the guide with the links and how-to go to 4.4 for AWS.Retail.

Is anyone around that successfully flashed back their European ROM? Because I've tried, and I couldn't - seems that the models have some sort of different partitioning.
[Moto G Android Development] josalaito:
./flashall doesn't work in your case, you need to run the commands one by one.
[Moto G Android Development] iG0tB0lts:
anybody tested on the koodo version yet? Does the koodo and the US global share the same network bands?
[Moto G Android Development] chowy993:
I tried to use this to flash the US GSM firmware on my UK 8gb Moto G with locked bootloader.

Sadly, it failed. I was able to re-flash the original firmware to get it working again.

Before I unlock the bootloader, I would like to know what I would lose if I switched to the US GSM firmware. More specifically, would I lose HSDPA(+)?

Is there anything else that is potentially notable that would be lost when switching (related to the firmware, not the unlocking the bootloader bit)?

Does everything work as it should without needing to configure anything?

Thanks in advance.
[Moto G Android Development] tarkin88:
Telcel Mexico Bootloader unlock, and ask me for a Pin SIM code, I think need buy a imei unlock code for it, but now not have enought money, for now return to stock Telcel ROM, But thx! the ROM Work! (not KK update yet)
[Moto G Android Development] jmoore4294:
No, you would not lose HSDPA+. We also have that in the US, but instead of H+ showing in the status bar we have 3G. It's the same thing. So if you do end up flashing this, and you see yourself connected to "3G", don't panic! You are connected to HSDPA+.
[Moto G Android Development] nupi:
May depend on the carrier though, it seems that my UK device has been downgraded to EDGE with the US Global firmware :( Trying to see if its just APN monkey business now
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
The US Globale firmware has the same modem files as the Europeans ones - the only thing that a lot of you noticed is that

1. You will not see the H+ sign but only 3G and

2. Some of the APN's are ****edup or not recognized - this is due to fact that the US ones have the ones used for traveling abroad/roaming.
[Moto G Android Development] PRNSTR:
I just now flashed this rom onto my German (Amazon.de) XT1032 and at first boot got the Kitkat-OTA pushed..

I guess a small YAAAY!!! is in order..

Shows that it works, if you are lucky enough to be in a OTA batch . :)

Edit: I'm in the Netherlands btw. so it does not matter where in the world you are to get it.

[Moto G Android Development] SouSoulebarbu:
I just got and installed the OTA update. Anybody tried to root? I tried by installing cwm, but it did not work...
[Moto G Android Development] nupi:
Can you make a CWM backup for the pour souls among us who for some reason cant flash the OTA on theirs?
[Moto G Android Development] PRNSTR:
Can not get CWM installed yet, will try harder during the holidays.
[Moto G Android Development] lost101:
Unable to install the update here also. Stock Recovery nor CWM.
[Moto G Android Development] nupi:
Going back to Retail UK, at least that works properly.
[Moto G Android Development] sylvester711:
No necesitas ningun codigo. Nada mas tienes que instalar la version corecta para tu xt1032. No instalas la de awsRetail, pero la de Retail y no te va a preguntar por el codigo. Y despues vas a Actualizacion vas a ver kitkat
[Moto G Android Development] tarkin88:
ES

Gracias, pero instale ambas versiones y una no me daba señal telefonica (todo el tiempo estaba en rojo) y la otra es la que me daba el problema mencionado.

EN

Thanks but i'm install both, one not give me signal, and the other give the problem before explain. :(
[Moto G Android Development] sylvester711:
I got mine from telcel. First I flashed the aws version and got my phone turned into xt1034. Then I flashed the retail only version and it worked. I also got the OTA version immediately.
[Moto G Android Development] tarkin88:
it's works! just a two questions, we have Super user for KK and what about CWM? i flashed the CWM but nothing happned, on 4.3 works
[Moto G Android Development] sylvester711:
I read somewhere in the forum that there are only like 2 people have root for kitkat right now. And that's just plain luck, which means there is no way for us. I think we just have to wait that's all
[Moto G Android Development] flibblesan:
Quite simple. You need to downgrade the motoboot (bootloader) so you can use a custom recovery. Then you can flash Superuser onto the device to gain root.
[Moto G Android Development] tarkin88:
it's Work! i'm root again Thanks!!!

Merry Christmas! :D
[Moto G Android Development] lost101:
Just went from UK stock Retail 4.3 to US Retail 4.4 using the stock image - Blur_Version.172.44.4.falcon_umts.Retail.en.US. Flashed 4.3 motoboot.img. CWM installed and rooted using this method. No obvious issues and noticeably faster.
[Moto G Android Development] xorti:
the 4.4.2 version, does it has russian language ?
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
Updated the guide!

Now the guide contains all the links with the methods to update to KitKat for all Moto G variants!

Happy Christmas to all XDA members!
[Moto G Android Development] lost101:
UK XT1032 running Stock US Global GSM 4.4.2 Rom. When I change the 'runtime' to ART, and the phone reboots; but when I check again, it's gone back to Dalvik. Can anyone else confirm ART is actually working?
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
For me ART is working - but I've used the REPACK while coming from 4.3 US FW on an European device.
[Moto G Android Development] Jodelaplaya:
does this method wipe data ?
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
Yes
[Moto G Android Development] lauren:
bricked phone?

i flashed the US 4.4.2 firmware on my phone and now it's stuck at a flashing motorola white logo screen

any idea how i can fix it?

:(

[edit] OK so RTFM really does help and the mfastboot.exe is *really* important *sigh* :)

[edit2] And it really is nicer to have KitKat on the phone - much snappier and full-screen mode is great for me for reading etc - worthwhile even if you have to wipe in the process
[Moto G Android Development] devgayan:
Successfully flashed the US Global firmware. OTA update was available on first boot. Excited. And thanks
[Moto G Android Development] Tribes11:
I Have XT1033 Music Edition (Brazil), with Dual SIM, if I flash this ROM will I lose the second SIM functionality?

I don't use the second SIM so I don't bother if it "disappears", actually I'm looking foward to it since those icons showing no SIM #2 card is inserted on notifications is really annoying for me.
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
Check out the replies on this thread as some other users have tried this method on the same model as yours.

If I remember right the radio doesn't work at all.
[Moto G Android Development] Ashenphoenix:
I've got a weird error. Everything was fine until adb reboot-bootloader. Well it worked, but after that I typed adb devices to check it 'List of devices attached' was empty, there was no device, so I stopped there and didn't start mfastboot...

But the device manager shows as Motorola ADB Interface, but adb devices "can't see" it.

Also I don't know if this matters, but after unlocking the bootloader I had a small issue, after the "Unlock Completed! Wait to reboot!" it appeared once again, "Unlock completed! Wait to reboot!" and after that a FAILED message with something like unkown error, but the device rebooted and it's unlocked.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. :) FASTBOOT DEVICES, not adb devices in fastboot mode.
[Moto G Android Development] ameer456:
I Flashed 4.3 XT1032 firmware on Amazon US XT1034, but it didn't recognize my SIM card (No service)

I'm on HSDPA network (2100MHz) not even 2G is working

I'm stuck with AWS firmware with 2G only until another solution
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
So... what are your expectations?

There's another thread going in General Forum about Global GSM on US GSM devices, and seems like the devices are somehow differently built when it comes to antenna and stuff like that. You might want to take a look over there.
[Moto G Android Development] tkelly0727:
firstly thank you for your guide, sucessfully flashed over UK moto g. i only have one issue. when entering bootloader i tried entering the recovery but i can it just come up with the android logo with a caution/warning logo saying "no command". im wondering is i can fastboot the 4.4 recovery?
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
while in bootloader

adb reboot recovery
[Moto G Android Development] tkelly0727:
does not work still cannot enter recovery
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
then after flashing the 4.4 rom - flash the 4.3 bootloader - and after that flash a custom recovery image.
[Moto G Android Development] ProfMozz:
I have a question (which I hope you could answer it): If I follow this method to update my Moto G (Chilean variant), will I have to re-flash the modem file? I read somewhere that they are not compatible so 3G does not work. Some others say it works without reflashing. What should I do?

Thanks in advance.
[Moto G Android Development] gilberthcordova:
What happend if i use the "US_retail_XT1032_KXB20.9-1.8-1.4_CFC.bat" file for flash my Moto G¨?
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
Chilean version?

Is the "Chilean version" a XT1032 or a dual sim/music version/ etc.?

If it's XT1032 you can flash it without any problems.

If you have the dual sim version you can flash it but there will be no radio - look on the thread where the development for the Dual SIM is undergoing for updates.
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
If you flash other rom than the one I indicated by me I can't guarantee that it will work correctly.

But probably that bat file is containing /flashall and might be just fine.
[Moto G Android Development] ProfMozz:
[MENTION=2482806]darkeingel[/MENTION]: First off, thanks for replying.

Yes, the Chilean version is XT1032 (I forgot to mention that, sorry). My above question arises as I have been reading some users in other forums have flashed the "Chilean" modem file as they mentioned the one that comes in the US rom file has problems when connecting to 3G/H+ here (they argue it has non-compatible bands). I bought my contract-free MotoG from the mobile carrier "Movistar Chile" and as they have a local firmware version (Blur_Version.14.71.8.falcon_umts.Movistar.en.CL) I thought it would cause 3G problems.

If it does cause 3G problems, how can I flash the Chilean modem? Or would I be able to not flash the USA modem so the Chilean one keeps intact?

A final question: is it really mandatory to unlock the bootloader in order to flash the USA version in order to update it to 4.4.2?

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it. :)
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
XT1032 is the Global GSM version and should support "global" frequences that normal carriers around the globe are using - check your carrier spectrum - and if it's not something that isn't normal you should go for it and after that reply.

Global firmwares have configs for all the networks around the globe - apn and modem files?

Check and reply back.

Bootloader in my case was unlocked but various stated that isn't necessary.
[Moto G Android Development] ProfMozz:
Ok, I followed each step and after rebooting my Moto G it reboots to recovery (tried without unlocking the bootloader). Should I try using fastboot again?
[Moto G Android Development] darkeingel:
You need to specifically use mfastboot - motorola fastboot version for it's devices.
[Moto G Android Development] ProfMozz:
Thanks

[MENTION=2482806]darkeingel[/MENTION]:

I used mfastboot to flash the files but it gave me some errors when pushing them (more especifically, these files were recovery.img, system.img_sparsechunk1 and system.img_sparsechunk3). After unlocking the bootloader, I could push them successfully.

In conclusion, it's kinda compulsory to unlock the bootloader.

BTW, I just downloaded the OTA and it's installing now.

Thanks for all your help and patience, buddy! You are awesome!

HELP

I was with Asia Stock 4.4.2 retail, and threw it over, I am now no Wifi signal and no carrier signal, Can you help me?

PS: My Moto G is the XT1033 but only use 1 chip.
[Moto G Android Development] Charwinger21:
Can we get a final word on the software vs. hardware limitation for the frequency bands?

If it is just software that is disabling AWS on some of the north american variants, then that could be quite interesting.
[Moto G Android Development] krlox_rokr:
Thanks! :D

i got some problems with (system.img_sparsechunk) but i can flash a GB varian the only diferent is that in this rom is that change the name of the system.img_sparsechunk1 / system.img_sparsechunk2 / system.img_sparsechunk

For: system.img_sparsechunk.0 / system.img_sparsechunk.1 / system.img_sparsechunk.2

so if you wanna flash other firm check the final of the (system.img_sparsechunk)

Tutorial?

Hello,

This is exactly the mod I have been looking for! (I just want white circle battery icon with 1% increments, and no other fancy icons)

The problem is, I have a Note 2 / N7105 with TW4.3 (4.4.2) So, I cannot flash the zip files posted.

Is it possible to make a tutorial for white circle battery with 1% increments? Maybe I can implement this mod in my rom...
[Android Themes] aureljared:
Yes, you can use the files in rawfiles_circbatt.zip (first post) in your ROM. Just rename the files if necessary.
[Android Themes] aureljared:
I finally migrated this project to my new VRTheme engine. I don't know if it will work, but I think it will. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Themes] 3to4:
Thanks.

In my N7105 (Stock, rooted, deodexed and deodexed), I have the following folders.

- res\drawable

- res\drawable-xhdpi, in which I have ic_qs_battery_0, ic_qs_battery_15, ic_qs_battery_28, etc.

So, I copied, from your rawfiles_circbatt.zip, ic_notify_clear to my drawable folder, and all the battery icons to my drawable-xhdpi folder after renaming them ic_qs_battery_0, ic_qs_battery_1, ic_qs_battery_2, etc.

Then, I tried to recompile, but I could not because I was getting errors.

So, I tried without your ic_notify_clear. I could recompile, but my battery did not change, obviously.

Then, I noticed your ic_notify_clear was not readable in my Notpad+, but was not in unix format. So, I saved in unix format, and I tried to recompile, but I could not because of errors.

Can you give me some advice? Don't I need smali editing? (When I added circle battery to 4.1.2, I copied two smali files, too.

Thank you in advance.
[Android Themes] aureljared:
Oops, I forgot to add this info. :rolleyes:

The xml in the zip is in binary form, e.g. has been encoded for use in APK files. So it's not readable by text editors such as Notepad++.

Although after decoding the XML, I don't think it's actually important for this theme :D I already removed it from the ZIP in the first post.

No, you don't need to edit smali files, although you do need to edit some XMLs if your SystemUI.apk isn't already set to use 1% battery.

If you want you can attach your SystemUI.apk here and I'll theme it for you.
