You don't need to unlock bootloader to flash stock ROM. Do a bit of Googling as there are plenty of guides on where to download the stock images and how to flash. I know how to do it, I learnt by using Google and doing some reading. you too can gain the knowledge this way ;)

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishpancake:
Rooting and unlocking BL does not void your statutory warranty, if you are an EU citizen.

This is a 2 year warranty covering manufacturing or HW faults which occur within 2 years of purchase.

Your manufacturers warranty is in addition to this.

Unless Moto can show actual damage caused by the unlock/root process. The onus is on them to prove this.

People in the EU should check out their local consumer rights web sites.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishpancake:
You are welcome mate....but you will have to be very positive about your rights under the EU Directive, and indeed UK/Irish/EU Country existing law....

no retailer will make you aware of your rights, usually publishing something like this, in their warranty information:

,

never outlining exactly what those rights are!!!

See this, regarding Apple and their "Warranty" which was found to be illegal in Italian Courts, and subsequently in other EU countries, forcing Apple to change their wording, still not acceptable though.

Also, from a consumer champion [Tina Leonard] in Ireland, this is a good synopsis of the legal situation in Ireland, and other EU countries:

Manufacturers warranties v your consumer rights

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

Well, they would say that wouldn't they!!

Apple said something very similar, and lost in the European Court, and had to pay a fine, and had also to change the wording of their Warranty in Europe to comply with the EU legal position on a two-year period.

As far as I know, Moto are mainly US concentrated, and there is a very different consumer rights culture there than in the UK, or Ireland, or any of the EU countries which are covered by the EU Legally Binding Directive, which has been passed into consumer law in the EU countries, where there was not already such a level of protection available.

Therefore, Moto, or should I say the retailer you bought from, for this is who you have a contract with, can not hide behind the fact that a phone is rooted or has an unlocked bootloader to deny a remedy to a customer who has an obvious hardware/manufacturing fault, or a fault which appeared within two years of purchase, in the EU.

That is why we have law, and it is up to the retailer, or Moto, to demonstrate just how a rooting or unlocking the phone has caused the defect or fault.

Don't forget, in the EU, as I said, your Contract of Sale is with the Retailer, not the Manufacturer, so the remedy is up to the Retailer, and do not be fobbed off by any retailer invoking your Manufactures Warranty.....

in the EU, this Warranty is considered, by law, to be in addition to your existing legal Rights, or your two year minimum Statutory Warranty.

So, Moto, or Apple, or Samsung, can say whatever they like, if you buy a phone from a retailer, and it has, or develops a hardware or software fault, within the specified period, the onus is on the retailer to satisfy your consumer rights, by Repair, Replace or Refund, and you should be offered a choice, depending on how serious the defect is.

That's the Law.

In the EU.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coursemyhorse:
I was always under the impression in the UK with electrical goods, that you got 1 year warranty from the place you bought it from. Is this not the case? You are saying this is now 2 years? When did this change? The very fact you have to argue the case (from a quick google) suggests this is a grey area as it is. It would be nice if the law was clearer on this. As for Motorola, surely what they say is irrelevant, since I bought the phone from Tesco and my contract is with them? it's whether Tesco would honour the warranty or not really so I guess we should ask them. I suspect they would just quote the Motorola site and claim the same.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishpancake:
Look my friend, I'm just giving you the legal position as it pertains in EU countries, and I have given examples and quotes from real live situations as for example the Apple warranty, and it's loss in the courts regarding the warranty it gave in Europe.

I actually think the situation in the UK is at least as good as the Statutory European Two Year Warranty, I think consumers have protection against faults and malfunction up to six years, under your Trading Standards. See below:

http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/cgi-bin/brighton-hove/con1item.cgi?file=*ADV0054-1011.txt

Perhaps you can link your 1 year warranty information??

AFAIK, there is no such thing.

I must stress, I am mostly talking about rights people have under their own laws/legislation, not whatever so-called warranties companies such as Motorala or Apple or Samsung might offer.

These companies, for the most part, operate globally, and mainly in the US and Asia, where there is a fundamentally different approach to customer and consumer rights.

Motorola, in the piece you quoted, even made reference to FCC regulations [US]!!! for consumers in EU countries??

Last time I checked, we in Europe were not governed by laws applicable in the US, or regulated by the FCC

Tesco, as you say in your case, are the people you have the contract with.

They are subject to the laws of the land, there are no grey areas, just people not positive or assertive enough when dealing with retailers, when returning faulty goods.

I have had personal experience returning faulty goods, last time to the German Retailer Aldi, who are notorious in trying to dodge or evade their legal responsibilities....telling people to claim under manufacturers warranties, when they should deal with the complaint with you, and follow the manufacturer after that, if they so wish....

but I never speak to a Customer Services Rep, always a Manager....and first thing is to get his/her name, and I always have a printed copy from our National Consumer Agency, outlining compactly and precisely just what the retailers responsibilities are.

I always get satisfaction, and I stress, this is just in cases where there are inherent or developed faults in the item, not when you have accidentally or deliberately damaged the item....there is no warranty for that.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coursemyhorse:
Sorry I don't have any links. I just always thought it was 1 year warranty. Maybe I am talking about a "required" 1 year manufacturer warranty. I don't know really.

When I phoned up Virgin who I am under a 2 year mobile phone contract with a supplied phone as part of that contract, they specifically state that the phone is only covered for the first year for faults.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishpancake:
I think you are not getting the point, it doesn't matter what Virgin say [were they the retailer??], it does not invalidate your Statutory Rights, in the event of a fault which you have not caused...within the period covered by the EU Statutory Warranty, or indeed tour own UK Trading Standards Warranty, which could be a longer period.

Virgin will probably have a section in their Warranty info stating that nothing in there invalidates your existing Statutory Rights, to cover themselves legally, and they cannot refuse to repair/replace/refund if the device develops or has a pre-existing fault, not caused by you.

If they do/did, you have a case in law against them, or the retailer, in Ireland it is the Small Claims Court, not sure in the UK....but, they would never let it go that far, believe me, because they would lose.

What any particular company says is one thing, what the law says is another...as Apple found out when challenged by the Italian Consumer Rights organisations.....they lost big time, and had to change the wording of their EU warranty to comply with the law.

People need to be aware of their rights, and insist upon compliance by some of the biggest Corporations in the World.

My last word on this. OK? :)

Just received my UK Tesco Moto G and my Irish Tesco SIM wouldn't work as expected so used that unlocking service and got the code within 10 minutes and worked a treat.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jusada:
You'll find alot of company's in the uk try and mess you around like this. I had an issue a few years ago with the cpw trying to say they wouldn't refund me the price of my s2 and would only repair it. I had to send a letter to them stating my rights and informing them that two weeks from the date of the letter I would be taking them to the small claims court and be filing for a full refund and my costs for the inconvenience eg court costs, phone charges calling them and so on. I got a phone call two days later asking me how I'd like my refund. Sometimes you have to play hard ball with these company's, but remember small claims court only cost you £35 and you can do it online. Read up and know your rights and don't let them palm you off. Be prepaired to go to court and until you get what your entitled to move forward with it. Inform them the moment you are told you can't have your rights that you will go to court, and set a time limits from that moment how long you will give them. Something reasonable like 1month from that point. Then try to speak to someone as high as possible.

Some months ago I came across a lockscreen idea which didn't put a separate lockscreen on the top screen, instead it simply locked the visible screen as is, and allowed display updates to show as though the screen isn't locked. A simple gesture unlocks the screen. I thought it a great idea but could not disable my own phone's lockscreen to use this app. Now I can disable my phone's own lockscreen but now I can't find this app!

Help please?

Hey all,

Planning on upgrading my Orange c600 smartphone to the T-mobile MDA Pro when my contract runs out on the 27th. Got a couple of small Qs which I could really use answers to before I buy tho if you don't mind. Thanks for any response!

1) Is the WM5 on the MDA Pro the same as the smartphone version? There are little things that dont exist on the smartphone version which bug me because I used to have them on the PDA version, like can you choose to save emails onto the SD card? You can't on my c600.

2) Im buying this MDA PRO straight from T-mobile, which new ROM would you recommend me using?

3) Are there any idiotproof guides to unlocking or modifiying your MDA PRO?

4) I have noticed on forums in general that more poeple seem to have the 02 Exec or the M5000 than the MDA pro. Why is that? Is there any major difference in S/W?

Thanks for all your comments guys,

Cheers,

Julian

Hey guys..

Still new to all this and I've come across some terminology that's a little different that what I'm accustomed to. I want to know how to create a backup image of the phone similar to when you create one of a PC that you can use to restore to a particular state, apps, system settings and all.

From what I've read this is called a nandroid backup. Does this require a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP or can it be done without it? I know that flashing a custom ROM or recovery trips KNOX. But does simply doing a backup trip KNOX as well?

Thanks for your patience and advice
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MobDad:
I don't know of any way to create a BU image without rooting. There are several great videos that will show you how within 10 minutes and it really is quite safe. Make sure you choose the root method for your carrier. (Probably Sprint because you are in the Sprint forum). I rooted my Note 3 yesterday and I am very happy. I recommend the video by QBKing77. After you are rooted, you can keep your stock ROM or try one or more of the custom ROMs available right here at XDA. Once you root, there are a number of excellent programs only available to rooted devices. After rooting and installing your recovery (I recommend TWRP but there are alternatives), it is very simple to create a Nandroid BU. It is a complete system image and will take your phone back to the state where it was at the time you created your BU.

I haven't tested this yet but here is a method to root without tripping the counter:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] MobDad:
I will leave .5% but I am 99.5% sure that you need to flash a recovery in order to do a Nandroid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tonyevo52:
That's really the only way, I would suggest using Twrp and not Cwm.. If you want to screw with your phone, just follow qbkings method and you'll be good to go in about ten minutes. It's worth it if you like to screw with stuff.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RusherDude:
I have read somewhere that you can brick any device both by flashing a bad bootloader (obvious) or a bad radio (?? why??).

As far as I know, the radio partition is the responsible for all the "mobile" stuff on the device, I know its a PHONE so afterall it may make sense to have a separate partition for that, but it is so critical in order to brick a device?

Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelrun:
The radio is core functionality of the phone, and it's locked down hard. The carriers don't want you doing arbitrary things with their networks, so the low-level communication runs on it's own processor and is tightly secured. It's started up first by the bootloader and is then involved in booting up the next level of the OS. Therefore, if it's missing or broken, the phone won't finish booting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RusherDude:
So it doesn't even get to load the kernel? Shouldn't just run the OS without any phone functionality? I mean, you are not able to use the calculator because you messed up with the radio?

I have read a thread on this sites, by long press power button in about 2-3 minutes, and my KF turned on and show “kindle fire” as before !
