[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkhouw1:
Since rooting the device voids the warranty, and now the only method to obtain root with 4.4 triggers the tamper flag, if one is going to root, is there any reason to NOT request a bootloader unlock code from Motorola?

And if the bootloader is unlocked via the request, does that essentially turn it into an non-warranty Dev phone? (ie would we then have the ability to roll back from 4.4 to 4.2?)
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kclantz:
You can only get the unlock code if you have the dev edition. And if you do, unlocking the bootloader won't void your warranty.

Non dev vzw devices are not eligible to receive unlock codes.

Problem with KitKat

Hello ,

I have not had success with version 3 kernel . After installation the system is in a loop trying to make the Cyanogenmod boot without success. Appears at a time, Moboot screen and then the screen goes black ( dimly lit ) ... Then the system reboots .

I used Tailor to create the partitions :

Android (system ) : 600 MiB

Android ( cache ) : 200 MiB

I created a folder with name cminstall with the following files (all downloaded through the appropriate links) :

GAPPS - kk - 20131208.zip

moboot_038 - tenderloin.zip

recovery - clockwork - 6.0.4.6 - tenderloin.zip

I reseted the WebOS Touchpad through and hit the volume button until the USB connection symbol appeared. Finally , as with all Novacom drivers installed on your computer I entered the following command in the Windows command prompt :

novacom.exe boot mem :/ / < ACMInstaller5M

The system installation appears to be correct , but the system is in boot loop .

Any help is welcome .

[LG Optimus G Pro] Daved+:
Hey

I have been tweaking my GPro for some days to get a good Antutu score and beat the S4.

I used:

Custom 04b kernel

Liquid Smooth 2.37

I set the cpu to 1.89Ghz, gpu to 487mhz. The pone wasn't very stable with the voltages and temperatures I used but it was stable enough to run the benchmark. Of course I run Antutu several times until I got the score I was waiting for.

Any ideas to get an even higher score?

PS: If you are going to use my settings push the thanks button please. Thank you :)

It was stable for me unless I plugged the charger, I guess it makes the phone run hotter. But ymmy, you know.

I have new settings that are stable even with the charger plugged in, I can post them if you want.

Yes, it is. What ROM do you like with T-Mobile? Maybe I can give it a try.

I got mine on Ebay for 420 pounds. I'm in australia and you'd be lucky to get it for 600 pounds here. works like a charm. of course AFTER i upgraded with the JasJar ROM and burnt O2's software ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] leek:
I bought one on eBay for GBP 414, but the seller reneged -- he said he could not get the phone from his supplier. I quoted him eBay policy on selling items that are not already in possession of the seller. He was apologetic, and said this is the first time it's happened (his feedback shows previous Universal sales which were successful). He has a 99.7% feedback rating, with 358 positives and 1 negative from long ago. He said he's going to refund me, but has to wait for a bank transfer to clear PayPal, since he already transfered the money out of PayPal. Sounds suspicious. But I have PayPal buyer protection (for what it's worth), and I used my credit card. I will give him time, and if he still doesn't refund, I'll go through the non-selling seller process.

So I bought from a different seller for GBP 431, and I am waiting for it.

So many of these Universal auctions say "opened only to inspect" or "opened only to test", that it sounds suspicious.

Also, many of them say "unwanted upgrade", as if they were mailed a free phone and just want to get rid of it. Does O2 mail free Universals as upgrades?

Don't buy Universals on eBay unless the seller has 99+% feedback > 100, and the auction is covered under the "Free PayPal Buyer Protection". Look at their feedbacks, and what they bought/sold earlier. Pay with PayPal, and use a credit card as the funding source.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] underwurlde:
'free' at £75/month, min term 18months.

So if you consider £1400 free, then yes, they're 'free'.

Anyway, rules of ebay are:

1) It's a sellers market

2) Don't be greedy or you'll get a deserved bite in the ass

3) Supply & demand rules the roost.

4) research research research

5) READ FEEDBACKS & APPLY A BIT OF NOUNCE!!!

Hunt around for mislisted items - takes time but jeeeez the bargains I've scooped! Hence:

6) You put the effort in, you get the rewards out.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Moandal:
I had a look at those 70Euro Universals.

Seller from overseas? Check

Selling price way too low? Check

Seller doesn't take paypal? Check

1 day auction? Check

Seller's username appears randomly generated? Check

New seller account with feedback of around 10? Check

Feedback comments all left in a very short time interval? Check

Feedback comments brief and unlike genuine feedback? Check

Feedback left by 10 feedback, randomly generated usernames? Check

Initial bid from 10 feedback, randomly generated username? Check

So it rates 10/10 on the scammometer! But what the hell - bid on it anyway!

Tried to sell mine on ebay a couple of times now , each time some idiot ruins the auction - so not sure who to trust now :cry:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Dingo:
I see these posting all the time for all sorts of high priced electronics. They are so easy to spot really if you follow the guidelines people posted above.

IMO neither of those are suspisious. It means i have a better chance of getting a working unit. And just because someone got a free upgrade and does not state it does not make the listing any more legit.

I sold a spare XDA Exec on ebay which i acttually got as a cheap upgrade but not free. My wife prefers her existing phone. I knew it had a good chance of going out of the UK so for me to not check it would be madness. I wanted to list it as Sim Free i could not do that without physically checking. Plus i could not list it as working if i did not know that fior sure.

Yes this does happen a lot. O2 want to keep your business so at the end of your contract you are eligble for an upgrade to tie you up again for 12 or 18 months. They look at your history and if you have spent a lot of money with them on calls you get lots of offers. The more you have spent the better the offers. A lot of people are happy with there existing phone but know they could make a lot of money selling the new one.

Yes this is another bad problem with ebay. You have the option to remove bidders and to cancel the auction early to the highest bidder. You can only do this up until 12hrs before the auction ends. When i sold mine i waited to just before the 12hrs deadline and accepted the highest bidder i considered genuine based on their location and feedback that had an agreeable price for me. I was not out to make as much as i could get but just a fair price.

This worked well for me.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] leek:
See what postings?

But it could be being used to sell a unit as "new" while hiding that it was "used".

???

(You probably meant "any less legit", but it still doesn't make sense. I said that they do state that they have an unwanted upgrade, something which sounds suspicious because it seems to be hiding something else. "Oh, I'm just selling this because it's an unwanted upgrade. I won't tell you anything else about it though.")

All Execs are unlocked AFAIK.

I always offer refunds on DOA equipment. Be sure to write down the serial number and put it in the auction, or someone might trade their defective unit for yours.

You're missing out on the sniper bids by ending early, but as you say, you weren't out to make as much as you can get.

No luck till now for the unlock code...

I have over 900 + feedback on ebay and I always buy from those who have Buyer protection if its over £100. Bought my exec back in dec/jan this year from a guy who had 2 for sale for £385. The first had a screen calibration problem as if it'd been dropped. Sent him an email and he promptly sent me his other one just as soon as I sent him the first back. Since then absolutely no problems.

Also I always mention when selling that any1 with less than 5 + feedback will have their bids removed. I make sure I'm logged in for the last minutes of the auction in case I get sum1 with less then 5 feedback messing around. And I sure have had to cancel a few bids in the last few minutes. HTH
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Taz69:
Consider this

£378 will buy a XDA Exec direct from O2's site brand new.

This is £150 for the XDA & 12 * monthly cost of £19

(which includes 50 anytime mins per month.)

Puts some of the £400-£500 Buy it Now deals in perspective.

Well in the UK at least.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PonchoPicasso:
First off, I know there's no Droid Maxx section, but this is the closest place to post this.

As the title states, I have the Verizon Maxx on 4.2.2 (software version 12.15.15) and it is completely stock (never rooted or anything else). I'm thinking of rooting it and putting it on the 4.4 Kit Kat update. I plan on using RockMyMoto 1.1 to root first using DG4FREE's guide. Then I will use MotoWpNoMo 0.0.4 as needed for SlapMyMoto 1.0.

I think I can do everything up to SlapMyMoto just fine. I just have a few questions about using SlapMyMoto:

1) Before using SlapMyMoto you have to "restore to the 4.2.2 Camera update." This can be done with RSD Lite (or House of Moto), right?

2) If I use RSD, I would use the first file listed here (Blur_Version.12.7.7 ...), correct? (Yes, I do understand Verizon's naming scheme for updates...)

3) Towards the end of SlapMyMoto process, what does "Once the device has rebooted, please take the 4.4 OTA" mean? Do I use the update.zip method to install the 4.4 OTA from the stock recovery or some other method? If so, where can I find a reliable 4.4 OTA zip for the Maxx that won't brick my phone?

4) Going along with question 3, as I have come to understand reading forum posts I will have to run the install update from sdcard using the update.zip twice for Kit Kat to be finally installed. Is that correct? If so, will SlapMyMoto actually keep root from 4.2.2 or not after the second install!?

5) After doing this and successfully getting root on 4.4, will I be able to receive OTA updates in the future after flashing back to stock 4.4 with RSD?

6) Anybody having issues with root on their Ultra/Maxx and Kit Kat 4.4 making it unusable? I don't use other mods at all (i.e. Xposed, etc.), but I do plan on using ART.

If it seems likely that I might brick my phone, I might just stick with updating to 4.4 without root. I don't know yet. Thank you in advance for your help.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lebowski13:
Just to clarify, it's RockMyMoto while on stock 4.2...then MotoWPNoMO...then you need to RSD back to the 12.15.15 camera update...then you run SMM...then you update to 4.4...then you finish SMM commands in ADB...install supersu or superuser...done.

1. Yes

2. Second file, 12.15.15 is the camera update.

3. That means that after SMM and the reboot, you boot to stock recovery and update zip will run just fine. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2577977

4. The update runs twice...sort of...it installs the new recovery (no turning back) and then you will run it again for the update. SMM needs to be finished off with the ADB commands in 4.4 to get root. SMM already planted all the seeds in 4.2.

5. Not so simple, generally speaking...once you have root, especially on a Moto...you'll have to flash back to stock to get any OTA...or just wait a while for someone around here to get a fix...it's usually out by the time a public OTA get's around anyway. If you want to keep root, I would recommend that you never take an OTA from VZW unless you read up on XDA firs and understand the implications.

6. I am rooted 4.4 on my Maxx following this exact process and using the ART runtime...not having any issues at all, I even have SafeStrap re- installed for back ups.

Hope that helps
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PonchoPicasso:
Thank you so much! That really answered all my questions!

I have just one question to clarify your answer: are you sure it is the second file? I was under the impression that Verizon named their updates for the version from which you are updating from, so the first file there would actually be the 12.15.15 software even though it is named 12.7.7.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lebowski13:
Happy to help! You are correct in the VZW OTA naming conventions...but the files in that link are actually the FXZ files to flash with using RSD, et al...not an OTA zip file, so they are named correctly by their version. 12.15.15, the second file, is definitely the camera update and the correct one to use.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PonchoPicasso:
Thanks for the clarification on that.

I just wanted to follow up on this thread for anybody else out there who might have been in the same boat as me. After completing this whole process a couple days ago, everything has been running smoothly now that I'm on 4.4 with root. I did not enable ART as I mentioned earlier I would since it turns out I needed to install Xposed to get a particular app that performs a root check to work. Other than that, smooth sailing except having to redo some steps manually.
