[Moto G General] free2hear:
this post is half giving knowledge to community (about almost bricked phone) and asking for help

system win7x64, moto g retail uk, came with 4.3 but updated to 4.4.2, after that...

in order to root i unlocked the bootloader from motorola page. successfully unlocked and rooted but...

problem nr 1 - from that day i was unable to access recovery by any means. in the meantime i managed to root it. trying to recover recovery i flashed a new logo to overcome the warning from motorola. read somewhere that install_recovery.sh could be renamed to bak, did that at system level and rebooted.

problem nr 2 - no access to recovery. lost root privileges after changing install_recovery.sh. no acess to bootloader. the phone does a full reboot everytime (goes on reading every android app) i try to acess the bootloader.

so no recovery, no bootloader, when trying to acess it the phone doesnt shutdown just does a cold reboot and checks every app, meanig i cant poweroff the phone..

Is there any way to recover bootloader access or hard reset the bootloader? or the power off?

i have bootloader again, dontt know how but i do. anyone of you guys can point me how to root the phone again?
[Moto G General] Cooptx:
[MENTION=5673404]free2hear[/MENTION] you should start with restoring your stock image. Then follow my updated root method :)
[Moto G General] free2hear:
thx cooptx!

The situation got a little worse. Now SO (w7x64 and x32 i have both) does not recognize moto g. I connect usb cable and it only charges.

- if i connect it while phone off it does a cold reboot (every time rebuilds dalvik cache)

- if i connect it while phone on it only charges but windows doesn't make any sound (nothing at device manager)

- if i connect usb (while in bootloder screen) windows recognizes it only as android adb but not as media player (drivers installed). when i do 'adb devices' nothing comes although the phone says usb connected.

at settings i have USB-MTP, USB debugging enabled.

i can power off and acess bootloader screen but at that screen if i choose any option it just cold reboots. no recovery acess, nada! no adb acess.

priorities 1) get usb connection again i order for the phone to be recognized as media player 2) try to send adb commands and re-root through some form of recovery

any suggestions welcome

------------------------------------

[update] managed to acess by fastboot not adb. can flash recovery but with 4.4 cant access recovery. tried sucessfully to flash 4.3 bootloader. it worked and now can access recovery and CWM. also rooted, but phone keeps doing a cold reboot everytime which loads every app, only downside.

[MENTION=4764526]Cooptx[/MENTION] didnt flash a stock rom. the trick to have acess to recovery was to flash 4.3 bootloader in 4.4.2, from that point re-rerooted the phone by flashing super su.

[Moto G General] Drake Ramoray:
Hi,I'm trying to root my dual sim device xt1033,but the 4.3 bootloader you give is for us/global,is that ok?And should I flash the 4.4 bootloader back after root ? thx
[Moto G General] denzel09:
To root:

1) unlock bootloader;

2) flash a custom recovery, like cwm, or twrp, or philz recovery. I prefer Philz recovery;

3) flash supersu zip;

4) Done!

You don't need of any other strange and overcomplicated method.
[Moto G General] notzippy:
What if you have a bootloader that cannot be unlocked ? ie Verizon , would this work ?
[Moto G General] denzel09:
If you can't unlock bootloader you can't have root in this case. There is not exploit to have root bypassing bootloader, not yet.

Hello,

After waiting for so long for an update from Samsung for my S3-i9300 I finally decided to upgrade manually. I flashed an Ireland Vodafone ROM and now I get Baseband Unknown and when I try to check the imei it says null/null.

My device is Vietnam version and it never got an update since I bought it,

Please help me to resolve this issue.. I dont want to have a custom rom, but then again if it would fix this problem I will go for it.

By the way, could someone also link me to a 4.1.2 JB Stock Rom that would fix this problem? Don't remember which build I had earlier.. :(

Thanks.

No issues with taking it out of my pocket and having the rubber bumpers getting stuck
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I use a Ballistic Aspira series case. Good build quality, good protection, not overly bulky, and adds a little more natural curve to the back of the phone that makes it more comfortable to hold.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UncleMike:
I had the Ballistic SG Maxx case on a Nexus 5 that I was testing and found the outer hard shell to be far to slick for me to get a reasonable grip on the device. I also found the included screen protector didn't sit properly on the screen, leaving a gap between the protector and the screen, except at the edges. My final issue was that the belt clip hardly opened at all, and wouldn't close all the way around a typical leather belt.

That said, I thought the case itself offered great protection for the phone and seemed like it could really take a beating.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
you need to have the latest CWM recovery installed, usually people do this by just flashing the latest CM 10.2 nightly (that's what I do) lol. I have one sitting on my SD card most of the time. Afterwards, just reboot INTO recovery, do a complete wipe, then install the ROM =D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lingarajug:
First of all thank you the awesome Rom, I had few issues.

1. Trying to shoot a video freezes the camera every time.

2. Charged fully and left it stand by and it drained to half in 2 hours just sitting in stand by and it almost 4 hours to fully charge from 20%.

3. For some reason I have a home and home3 launcher and I set home as default and when I restart it switches to home3 launcher and even the listing in settings has moved up/down.

4. Animations are too slow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zacling:
I don't have CM 10.2 nightly but I have SuperNexus-3.0-i777-BUILD1

Do you know what the CWM version of this ROM is?

If it is higher than 6.0.3.2, I will try to flash it first before I flash SN 4.0

Currently I'm on SN 2.0

Thanks.

Confirmed. Mine does the same with video mode. Locked up.

Also the battery icon never went down overnight. Rebooted the phone and battery was basically dead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
Reboot into recovery and then you can know what version recovery you're on for sure.

Other easy, readilly accessible, flashable ways to achieve the 6.0.4.4+:

-The latest CM nightly

-RenderBroken's CM11 Kernel

-Mr-Cook's 6.0.4.5 kernel (linked in RenderBroken's CM11 thread)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lingarajug:
Did some research and it appears to be cm base issue in general and battery issues seem to be kernel related.

I installed the top link the SLIM but when I attempt to boot to System_4 where it was installed, my phone just reboots and boots back to System_1 the stock system. What did I do wrong, or what data do I need to provide so that you can help me troube shoot this?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jo15765:
EDIT --

It looks like for some reason my boot.img, system.img files were being destroyed when the device rebooted, as when I would boot back into BMM and try to open this installed ROM I would get those error messages. How long should BM take to actually open the custom ROM from 1st run? I waited an hour and just assumed it had hung up, is that an accurate assumption?
[Motorola Atrix 2] jo15765:
Maybe my issue is just SlimKat the top link can not be installed via MBB -- I have succesfully installed both the 2nd and 3rd link via BMM could that be the deal? Only specific ROMS can be installed via MBB and others need CWM or another type recovery?
[Motorola Atrix 2] darth_nihar:
That ROM installs fine make sure u make enough space for system data and cache partition before flashing it............800 for sys and data

should do the trick....:laugh: and on another note there aren't many ROM's that can be flashed with anyother recovery other than BMM for A2...:laugh:
[Motorola Atrix 2] jo15765:
Hey thanks for the note about BMM I have been reading all the docs I can find about it to better understand it. I never realized how between the MB860 & MB865 there was a world of difference.

I destroyed my system.img, data.img, and cache.img partition and rebuilt at 1,000 MB and the SlimKat ROM is still just sitting at a blank screen when I actually try to boot into it?

What is a good basis to follow as far as knowing how large to set those 3 .img files?

EDIT ---

Also if I delete the folders/data located here:

/data/clockworkmod/virtual/

Why when I boot into BMM does the corresponding System folder still show the name of the ROM I attempted to install? I was wanting to clear it all out for a fresh install. I also did the format system, but the name remains.

There must be something that I'm missing with the Note 2 and Note 3.

Rooted stock, then went to Bonsai, then back to rooted stock.

I made a backup each time in TWRP. I tried restoring my backup of Bonsai tonight, but it fails. Tried reflashing the rom (same file I used last time), and it boot loops. Tried using the rooted stock backup, and it fails.

Tried reinstalling stock root rom, and it bootloops. Tried another rom, and it boot loops.

I wipe after every install and restore attemp, and wipe cache and dalvik after each.

I had the exact same issues on the note 2. Any suggestions or ideas? I'm ready to go back to HTC or something...

I still can't get my phone to boot....I also noticed that when in recovery I cannot mount usb storage....wtf

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
When you say the stock file, do you mean the MJ4 tar file? If that doesn't work, you might try one of the older files and see if that works and then flash mj4 again.. Outside of trying that, not to sure. You might try sending that guy freeza a message, he seems to be the go to guy for this phone.
