For people living in europe, it doesn't only come down to price and looks.

Buying a US version will make it impossible to use 4G/LTE in EU, so in order to succesfully connect to 4G networks in EU, one must buy a EU Moto X. Unfortunatly Motomaker and 32gb versions are not available in EU, so it really comes down to looks and space vs. 4G speed.

Btw. Importing a US version to EU, will cost the same or more, than buying an EU version, due to import taxes, unless you travel to USA and bring one home in your bag.
[Moto X General] mavericktc:
If you buy a XT1058 from the states you get LTE band 7 which many carriers use in Europe.

I got the t-mobile with all the cozy stuff and sent it with a friend that was flying home.

Originally the plan was to sent it with mail (this was before motorola announced that the x was coming to Europe) but I got lucky.

Sometimes you might get lucky with the taxes (in Sweden there are no tolls on cell phones, "just" 25% VAT). They don't control all packages. It also depends from which county it was sent from.

Booo for import taxes, I hate them.

"Hey, we can't compete with the price because of our superduper high taxes and average salaries, nor can we compete with the availability of products so let's punish everyone who isn't buying stuff from within the ****ty EU".
[Moto X General] DVgadget:
Belgians interested in this phone will have to stick to the European model if they want 4G, unfortunately none of the USA models supports LTE 1800.

Anyboy knows weather the bootloader is unlocked or unlock-able on the european model?

Hey guys.

Is it possible to keep the root after an OTA update to .290?

My internet is too slow to download the flashable zip of nut..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shem2409:
You might get partial root with no system write capability or you could loose root. You will NOT however retain full root access.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tonian1878:
this or the update will just fail

I don't think anyone has successfully kept root to 290. The update will fail or root will be lost.

I'm fairly new to all of this. Currently I'm running Stockorama v2 on 4.1.2

I realized I was pretty far behind and decided to flash a new ROM.

I decided to go with GUMMY but keep getting the following error:

set_medadata_recursive: some changes failed

E: Error in /sdcard/Gummy - 2.1-01-15-14-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip

(status 7)

Installation aborted.

Can somebody help me, or link me to some guides/tutorials on how to flash a rom when I've already got one? (if that makes sense)

Thanks in advance!

Update your recovery
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Laosickness:
How do I update my recovery?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Laosickness:
So I updated my Recovery & used ROM Manager to install the new ROM I downloaded.

Unfortunately my phone doesn't load completely and always gets stuck at the boot screen (boot screen still shows animations).

Anything I can do to make my phone boot all the way?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Noobiologist:
Go into Recovery Mode and factory reset (you will lose everything that's in your Internal Storage but everything in your SD Card will be safe). Afterwards, reboot and let it sit there for awhile until you're prompted with a Welcome Screen. If for some reason you cannot get passed your boot screen, you must also flash a modem that is compatible with 4.3+ (I'm using the T999UVUEMJ4 modem).

After you have done all that, let it sit there for a good 10 minutes and reboot. After setting everything up, go into your Play Store (if you don't have the Google Play Store, go back into recovery and flash a 4.4 GAPPS) and download GooManager. Run the app and press the menu button and select ' install openscriptrecovery.' Follow the procedures and it'll automatically install the latest recovery (it should be TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) 2.6.3.1). Reboot back into recovery then do a clean wipe and flash your ROM follow by GAPPS. Reboot and let it sit there until you see the Welcome Screen. Once you do, let it sit there for 10 minutes and reboot.

Anyone Please!!!!!!!

I just got the phone 15 days earlier only.

My advanced big thanxxx to my bro who would help me.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manav113:
i too had the same issue with mine because of chainfire so do u get error of Qpst or only boot loop.???

---------- Post added at 03:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

If its bootloop it means you have bricked your phone but not fully

Here is the step by step guide for unbricking your Android device if it is boots but goes in to a boot loop:

1. The first step is to boot your phone into recovery.

2.Now go to WIPE while in recovery mode and clear Delvik Cache.

3.Now restart you phone and see if it stays alright or goes back into a boot loop.

4.If the phone again restarts after landing on launch screen, then power off you phone.

5.Restart your phone into recovery again and delete all data/cache. Flash a new ROM if it is already on your SD card.

6.Once this is done, reboot your phone and hopefully you will be able to get rid of the boot loop problem.

In case your phone is booting into recovery rather than normally then again repeat the steps mentioned above. In this kind of brick, you will need to re-flash a new ROM. The above method is applicable on temporary bricks only. In case your phone doesn’t boot at all after rooting or flashing custom ROM or boot image, then there is nothing you can do about it. Please check your carrier or mobile phone vendor for a replacement.

HOPE IT HELPS YOU. If not try to contact me for further help.

It takes even less time to say

THANKS

Hello,

How can i make the carrier believe the phone is another phone, like a Desire 601?

Thanks,
[HTC One SV] bataya:
Did you try to edit build.prop?
[HTC One SV] Ivory_75:
Thanks for the answer. i didn't think it was that easy. However i'm not ready to root my phone. (Warranty, risks etc...)

I've manage to open, read, copy to SD card and modify with text editor, but how can i push it back (and not loose modifications after reboot)

(adb, something else? )

anyway. I've check the build.prop and found i need to change the ro.product.model= xxx

Now i just need to push it back. Could ADB or Fastboot do it ?

Any idea on how device identification works when it's not an android phone ?

Regards,
[HTC One SV] bataya:
Well I never try to use adb without root, but I think without root you can't edit system files. Fastboot will not work. You need root or costume recovery.
[HTC One SV] :
Unless you unlock your bootloader and root then there is really nothing you can do to the build.prop file. Restrictions won't allow you to make changes.
[Xperia Z1 General] karmamule:
Unfortunately my Z1s is going back: I'm having issues with the screen properly registering a long press when trying to move icons/widgets, or long press on an empty area to select a widget or app to drop there. It started out happening on rare occasion and I ignored it, but it got worse and worse and worse until now it's almost always a struggle whenever I want to do any of those things. And, when that's happening I also noticed the keyboard is unusable for swipe style because it keeps splitting up longer words into lots of shorter ones. In both cases it seems as if the screen is thinking I've lifted my finger when I haven't.

So, back it goes. T-Mobile is sending me a new one to arrive tomorrow or Monday and this one is heading back. Fingers crossed, because I'm loving everything else about the phone!
[Xperia Z1 General] chronicrebellion:
I have the same issue. I thought it was the way I was holding the phone because I couldn't reproduce it with the phone laying flat on a table.

I am probably going to return mine as well.
[Xperia Z1 General] karmamule:
Wow, interesting observation! I just tried it out and so far mine is behaving the same: lay it down and long press works, pick it up and it stops working.

After additional experimentation if I lay the phone in the palm of my hand with fingers not touching the sides it continues to work fine, but when having my fingers touch the side of the phone (while making sure to not curl over onto the top) long press eventually stops working.
[Xperia Z1 General] feddexx69:
looks like Z1 inherited touchscreen issues.. not good Sony, not good at all...
[Xperia Z1 General] kremer4:
Same problem here, let us know if your replacement works but it doesn't look good.
[Xperia Z1 General] karmamule:
Uh oh, if you're the third person with this problem out of a small group of initial orders I'm guessing this is just the way the device is going to be and my next one will behave the same.

If that's the case I'll have to decide if this issue is a deal-breaker or not. There's lots I like about the phone, and in the long term I could probably live with holding carefully and/or setting down when I want to rearrange apps/widgets, but if it happens enough that I can't use swipe style keyboards without them freaking out any time my fingers touch the side of the phone I'll have to think long and hard about it.

I'll keep you posted.

I have a Imate K-Jam that I bought here in the middle east where I am visiting. I bought it out right without a contract etc. It worked fine with my Fastlink sim. I put my USA Cingular sim in and it would not work. I later unlocked my Kjam to install the Qtek rom because it had the bluetooth dialing in standbye fix. After that, my Cingular sim works here (albiet I am sure the charges would be very high if I actually use it to make calls etc). I then bought a Imate Jamin. My Cingular sim works the same as in my Kjam after unlocking it. So I guess I am a bit confused. What kind of lock did my Kjam have that my Jamin doesn't? Does that fact that my Cingular sim works in my Jamin mean that it is completely unlocked? Is the only lock on it the one that would prevent it from having another brand rom installed?

Basically an explaination of the possible locks a phone could have and how to find out what is locked would be great.

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] oainot:
There are:

- Device lock, preventing from installing other OS.

and

- SIM lock, preventing from using SIM from another operator.

There are also tools to unlock device, SIM and both.
