are you (the guys with the battery issue) using the device lock?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] heliod:
I have seen in the past that phone editions spend much more batteries when they are without a SIM card and GSM is not turned off. Maybe this is the problem of our friend that has opened this thread.

This problem can be even more serious with the JASJAR and its battery-hungry UMTS radio.

So I rooted my Note 2 and installed rom manager to so I could install a zip File and the phone rebooted and I got this massage:

System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone.

Please turn off your phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help

Volume up/home/power just boots to this message every time. So does Volume down/home/power.

It will not boot into Download mode or odin mode.

Please help.

Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] computerslayer:
Sounds like you tried to use ROM Manager to install CWM, an alternate recovery before unlocking your bootloader.

What version of software did you have - 4.1.2 or 4.3?

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

By the by, your phone IS recoverable, but the surefire method (Verizon Software Update) will also force you to upgrade to 4.3 and you will be locked into the new, secure bootloader. No exploit to unlock this bootloader has been found, so no custom ROMs can be installed once you have 4.3.

If you already had the official 4.3 OTA, you're locked already and it won't change anything to use Verizon's software to restore your phone.... though you undoubtedly tripped the KNOX counter trying to flash a custom recovery in that case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bullseyeracing:
I was able to get in to odin mode but it gets allmost done and it fails its saying unsupported version

I am running ota 4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] trollishtrucker:
As far as I know there is only one method top root that works on 4.3 right now but it doesn't unlock the boot loader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Binary-2:
I've accidentally done what OP did too, having been unaware of the changes to prevent custom recoveries.

I've tried using Odin to flash back to stock 4.1.1 but apparently that didn't work, and I guess the custom recovery is still triggering the error.

Is there a way to reset the recovery to stock now or at least bypass Verizon's system check?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] NB2A:
I have had this happen as well. Is there any way to unlock this phone using any methods on here? Thanks.

Trouble installing CWM/TWRP on rooted Note 2 SCH-i605 4.4.2

No luck on 4.4.2 -- Trouble Installing CWM/TWRP on Rooted Vz Note 2 SCH-i605 4.4.2

The title of this post summarizes my present challenge ... I have not been able to successfully install CWM or TWRP using any popular method. For example ODIN attempts fail each time, no matter what I try, e.g. swapping USB ports, reloading drivers, removing batteries, sim cards, SD card, changing cables, turning virus protection on/off, battery charge level (50 thru 100%) ... and various combinations of these approaches. ROM Mgr and other Flash apps don't get it done -- well, to be fair, they may be getting it done, but on reboot I receive an error message "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found...." blah, blah, blah. --SO, does anyone have any thoughts or approaches they might recommend? I'm really stumped. And to make it all the more vexing, I'm a novice or whatever is just before novice. I've enjoyed getting this far and have recovered from a few soft bricks along the way. The first time was worrisome, but now I don't worry so much. I've lucked out and found a lot of great guidance on forums, like this one and others. But so far, I haven't landed on the trick of getting past 'whatever roadblock(s)' are in place on this Note 2 SCH-i605 4.4.2 set-up. I'm stumped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] emtee_skull:
As far as I know if you do official OTA 4.3 and above update you bootloader is locked/secure and you cannot install a custom recovery therefore no custom roms. at least the old fashion way.

My phone does not have these issues so I haven't looked into whats out there. You may be able to still root the phone at least, and as for custom roms I would look into the safestrap options if there are any.

If one gets a note 2 like warranty replacement or for some other reason in the recent past or future check immediately when turning on if you are 4.1 or 4.3 and dont take any OTA. You may get lucky and have old software on it.

Edit: Looking around maybe this will help you. http://xdaforums.com/note-2-verizon/help/finally-safestrap-recovery-v3-72-nd7-4-t2968273

I had updated to the official OTA 4.3 and the only way heard of was to send your phone into mobiletechvideos and they will downgrade your phone back to 4.1.2 I don't know the details on what they do, but it involves taking your phone apart. I sent my GN 2 in on a Wednesday and I had it back by the following Thursday. I re-rooted and I am back running cm12. I talked with Josh on the phone regarding replacing my rear housing at the same time. Nice guy, very helpful. I ordered the rear housing and sent it with the phone. They changed it out at no cost.

As we step into 2014, many things awaits us. There are uncountable things happening on XDA each day, including ROM releases, updates, people screaming for help, and of course, the developers who spend countless hours writing ROMs for us.

To all developers, you have been working countless of hours for us to enjoy more customization, more Android. This is all created, due to the developer's will, and determination. We all love updates, bug fixes, but a New Year is a New Year, celebrate all you want, and when u come back, to write more code, you know you're refreshed, ready to go and fix more and more bugs. Happy New Year to you, developers.

People might have bricked their phones or lost their IMEI, and they know, XDA is the place to come. I thank you, for placing faith and trust in their members of XDA. Through the process of helping others, we have learnt something. We all have to start somewhere, don't we? Some may have started as a i-just-moved-to-android-from-ios-what-now, and may have progressed to become a Recognized Contributor, keep even a Developer. As we leave 2013 behind, I'm sure that members of XDA, will always be there to provide assistance to others.

Lastly, to our beloved Samsung Galaxy Note II, Happy New Year to u. You have accompanied us, throughout our bootloops and bricks (RIP hard bricked Note IIs) but have most of the time (if not all) recovered from those and continue to become a faithful phablet. As the New Year passes, I hope for more cool and awesome ROMs to go with your utterly stunning hardware. (S-Pen, u shall be loved)

Stepping into a new year is like being a new-born baby, you don't know what will happen, you don't know how will it happen, you don't know anything. On this note, I would like to wish all XDA members a very Happy New Year, and hope that 2014 will be as fruitful as 2013 was. (Or more, I don't care. :P)

Once again, a very Happy New Year to all XDA members!

I've seen many people posting simple doubts, and General Section is already flooded with questions. So that this becomes a more organized section, i've had the idea to create this thread. Here i'd wish you to use it for things that don't deserve a thread for itself. I've come from Ace-i's and Y's sections, and flood there was too damn high. I'd like to prevent this.

Moto G hardware buttons

Well I've found that many, including myself, have found that the power and volume buttons seem somewhat loose and have wiggle room. I don't know but it seemed kind of annoying to me lol. So what I did was remove the back plate and place a strip of clear tape along the buttons and that seemed to do the trick! :D
[Moto G General] t-bon3:
This actually sounds like a good idea, might use some to try and stop the back creaking as well.

Do you have another camera that can take a photo to show exactly what you did?
[Moto G General] darkeingel:
My back is creaking too, but only on up-right part - where the buttons are placed! Also, the volume but especially the power button is a bit loosy, but not that important!
[Moto G General] mathm2013:
I just couldn`t believe how bad is Moto G`s back. I think it is horrible to open, and i am always afraid of breaking it.

hello. with all the recent talk of the 100 dora 8gb Moto G. im considering one to replace my X2, as my mp3 and video player. i just want to know how much memory is actually able to be used. thanks for answering!

[Moto G General] mathm2013:
About 5 gb.
[Moto G General] motrinHD:
dang.. that's a little bit
[Moto G General] AwesomeTurtle:
Yep. I've gotten so tired of hunting down smartphones with decent audio output (line out) and storage options that I opted to just get an iBasso DX50 and use this coming Moto G to stream videos and play a few games.

Can't find backup

Hi, i want to install Xposed and GravityBox to my 4.2.2 rooted Moto G...

I read on both threads that they recomend to make Nandroid backup before installing Xposed.. So i rebooted into Fastboot, then selected Recovery, backup and restore, and it shows the following options:

- backup to /sdcard

- restore from /sdcard

- delete from /sdcard

- advance restore from /sdcard

- free unused backup data

- chooser default backup format

++go back++

Since Moto G doesn't have a sd-card, which option should i select ? I try with "backup to /sdcard", it took about 3 ~ 4 minutes to finish, then i rebooted...

I wanted to make sure the backup was done and then to copy backup to my computer but i couldnt find it on my phone..

Just find this on XT1032\Internal storage\clockworkmod:

.last_install_path

.recovery_version

Sorry for my english, i'm doing my best x) Hope you can help me..

EDIT

Forget it, i found backup stored in '/mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup', how can i backup this to my computer?

Did't know were to post the request. Can somebody with rooted moto g search for file called "others.xml". It should be somewhere in "system/csc/" folder or something like that. If you find it can you open the file and copy it's content.

No problem will happen with Xposed. I installed it fine.

[Moto G General] tampitzel:
i want to learn

hey guys, my request is not simple. i like the moto g alot, i had alot of android phones, but never tried mrore than root/unlocking bootloader/s-off when it comes to htcs, custom recoveries and alot of roms. I think it's time to move on and learn more. i would love to learn how to port miui to our dev the correct way, and i would like a tutuorial .. well not tutorial, alot of reading materials i guess about android, how it works, and how would one go about porting. i know you need a base, like cm10/11 which is not the case for moto g .. yet .. so what baserom should i use and what would be the first steps to porting miui to moto g ? hope someone replies and doesnt laugh at my noobness :P
[Moto G General] :
I think it isn't possible because the latest miui is android 4.2 I guess, and moto g has only 4.3+

I think we need to wait until there will be kitkat miui

Hey, guys. I'm having some problems with Microsim. It gets pushed back when i put it. And it is cut perfectly.
[Moto G General] Cooptx:
I admire your ambition :) sadly we need our source code before we can start building anything. As for porting, we would need to port from a device with similar software and hardware. Miui is just about one of the hardest things to get ported. It is by far one of the farthest from AOSP of all of the custom ROMs AFAIK.
[Moto G General] mathm2013:
Patchrom sent you some hugs. Also, i've been looking at S4 mini, it has very close specs.
[Moto G General] Cooptx:
Yeah, but it also needs a similar device tree and hardware configuration

[Moto G General] 2hipso:
just a question

I bought a black charger. Problem is, when I charging my Moto G, after a few minutes - the charger is too hot. Its so hot, you cant touch and hold that charger for more than 3 seconds. Also, sometimes I hear silent and weird sounds (from the charger) while charging. Is it normal?

on the charger:

Also I want to ask, when my Moto G is off and I plug it to a charger it will automatically turn on the phone. Is it depending on charger or phone?
[Moto G General] debaj:
Isn't it just showing a battery animation, then the screen turns off after a few moments? That is normal.

And for the charger: it is not OK if it gets too hot and gives out any high frequency buzzing/chirping sound, most likely the transformer is damaged or just very bad quality and it is prone to short-circuit. Don't use that charger or you can damage your phone or in worst case hurt yourself / burn down your house.
[Moto G General] 2hipso:
thanks

thank you for advices. If battery is 0% it showing the animation for a while, but then come out the "Motorola a google company" logo, boot animation and then G turns on. If the battery is for example 50% charged, then after connecting to charger just shows "Motorola a google company" logo, boot animation and then G turns on.
[Moto G General] 2hipso:
just wanted to ask, is active display working on kitkat? Motorola released on android market app - "Active Display" with description "for kitkat devices" so is it working on Moto G LCD display? I heard, only amoled display can 'act' as active display

[Moto G General] 2hipso:
dumb question but

Do you guys think that, we (Moto G owners) can ever have other phone, that will not have this awesome battery life? Because I came from Motorola Droid Razr and I will never recommend razr droid to anybody (even to people I hate) because of the battery there.

Do you think that I can ever buy another phone and be satisfied with it?

Two problems I encountered yesterday:

1) Signal disappeared. I tried to turn the airplane on and off to reset this but after turning it on that menu option grayed out. I had to restart the phone. I used to use Restart connections app but it doesnt work anymore (since 4.3 I guess). Anything similar happened to you? Do you know any other app to clear this kind of mess?

2) I set an alarm in system clock and it appeared twice on the bar ... once normally right near the clock and second on the left in the notification area - and when I swiped it off the alarm got disabled. It is ok after the restart. Weird, Ive never seen this before on none of my Android phones ...

I found out that no. 2 is actually feature, not a bug ... :)

If you are like me and don't have a good amount of data on your provider than you probably keep your data off for the most part. Unfortunately when someone send you an MMS message you have to turn on data to get it, and half the time you don't know when you recieved an MMS when you have data turned off. With this simply line of code you can now send an MMS with data turned off and it will automatically turn data on when sending and turn it off when it is finished. This also works with recieving MMS. When your messaging app determines someone has sent an MMS message it will turn on data and then turn it off when it is finished downloading.

Requirements:

Must be rooted

File editing application

Go into system/csc/ and look for Feature.xml

Scroll to the bottom and add this line exactly:

<CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>true</CscFeature_RIL_ForceConnectMMS>

After this save your .xml and make sure permissions are set to rw--r--r--.

Reboot.

To test this simply send a group message or picture with your data off and if it sends it worked.

Thanks! Enjoy!
