[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishpancake:
It's just that mfastboot is recommended by most devs, including Paul O'Brien and flibblesan, on Modaco, and loads of ppl here on XDA, for flashing FW to Motorola devices from BL, so I'd go with it, as it is widely available on either Modaco or XDA.

I don't think an OTA will fail due to root, just if you have modified or removed any system files, or are using a custom recovery.

I think you have to re-root after OTA is applied.

Rooting at 4.4 is easy with Chainfire's SuperSU CWM flasable zip, as explained by flibblesan here:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
superSU updates /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

This file is checked for a hash by the script (updater-script) that installs the update. As the file is different then the script bombs out with an error.

I know this because I am rooted and I by mistake ;) attempted to install the OTA when I got the OTA notification. It failed.

There is a line in the updater-script like this:

apply_patch_check("/system/etc/install-recovery.sh", "b54528cf9ebba39534b768ad9108a4732e1eff4a", "99ffe4a3d0e6612e87cd3f6a62dad642094f0169") || abort("\"/system/etc/install-recovery.sh\" has unexpected contents.");

This is basically checking that file and seeing if it has the expected hash (one/both of those long numbers are the hash).

Interestingly the ORIGINAL install-recovery.sh file has these comments at the start of the file:

# File Name: install-recovery.sh

#

# General Description: This script is used to install software update for

# recovery mode after OTA update. This is modified

# from original Google code to split the code into

# a fixed program while putting the dynamic data

# into a config file.

After superSU is flashed it says stuff about superSU in it and the file is completely different hence why if you are rooted (at least if using superSU) then the update fails. Whether there are also other /system files also updated by rooting I dont know.

I dont know why superSU modifies the file, the file once modified kicks off a daemon called daemonsu. Why it has to be this file to start that deamon I dont know - but obviously there must be some reason its rooted in this way.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishpancake:
Thanks for that info......a bit complicated, but I get the gist of why OTA will fail, if rooted using the SuperSU Recovery zip.

I suppose, as you will be un-rooted in any case, unrooting prior to OTA is advisable, I can see that....:)

when I rooted originally, I used Superboot, as per Paul's Option 1

However, as per the OP, and my attempted OTA, with CWM Recovery intact, and the bootloop problem, etc, etc...and my panic, and not reading what is written in BL....

I never got to flash the OTA, and I just went ahead and learned how to use fastboot, and downloaded the American ROM, flashed it, and CWM Recovery, which works with 4.4 now, and flashed the root zip, as above, and some other zip to give back the H+ for HSPA+ logo, and now I'm happy.....

I'll never have another OTA :o to deal with now......
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
When stuff goes wrong we all learn a lot more than if it always went to plan, so its good we have learnt some new things today.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishpancake:
Man....you did what I did, and ended up with US 4.4.....

I had UK Tesco 4.3, with an OTA sitting in \cache, but tried to flash with CWM Recovery, messed up, panicked, but things are good now, latest CWM, rooted with SuperSU.

There is also a CWM zip to restore your H indicator for HSPA mobile speed, as US ROM only has 3G for this, and it also modifies the cell signal bars back to normal Android width.....

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arokan:
I had the same situation just now. Accidentally confirmed the OTA update prompt, then the phone goes bootloop. After fiddling here and there, turns out the solution was simple. Reboot to bootloader, connect usb to PC, then wipe the cache using fastboot (fastboot erase cache). It will remove the OTA update zip file and stops the bootloop. Now I need to disable OTA update prompt.

Galaxy Mega Charger

Hi,

I did not understood your question. is your question is "is 3-4 hours is normal charge time for your phone?

I have the 9205 MEGA 6.3 and it looks like this is about the right charging time with the original power supply (Charger).

I check on the samsung USB charger and this is a 5v / 250Ma chargeur. I replaced the charger by a old USB Blackerry charger 5v / 500Ma and it is charging now in less than 3 hours.

Did somone try a 1A charger to see if it is faster??

Thank you.

1.When i delete the intern memory or make a factory reset in my phone, after the reset the phone in the memory appears the all files, before i delete the memory.

2.When i connect the phone in fastboot or flashboot it is not possible, because i have s1 boot download problem or s1 fastboot download problem, but i installed pc companion, flashtool driver and all drivers.

So i dont know to make a firmware update or else.

[Micromax A110] asif037:
Hello people!

I rooted my phone a year ago and installed a custom firmware (4.1) using cwm recovery (bcz the battery was draining to quick with the factory rom). until yesterday i downloaded and installed a 4.2 custom rom. installation was successful but the rom seemd buggy( errors discussed later). i then downloaded and installed another custom rom which had great positive feed back.. but the errors were still there! errors were:

- i couldnot install ANY apps from googleplay. the apps would download, then during installation it would give an error : "installation failed error "-110".

- So i thought maybe its a corrupt rom, i downloaded another custom rom (3rd rom for the day) which also had good feedback, but same error being given on app installation.

- phone fails to install apps even when i download apk files from 3rd party sources. (yes untrusted source was enabled).

- Settings>about phone. and Settings app crashes and closes.

- "power+vol up+ vol down". recovery mode and factory reset options appear. i click on recovery mode, the cwm recovery loading screen shows and the phone automatically goes under factory restore, phone reboots itself and boots up the android with first time welcome screen. (all user settings wiped)

- i have tried clearing google play cache and data from settings>apps but nothing is working.

- i tried rooting the phone again, but the rooting process stops after i click "restore" on the phone.

NOTE:

- Google play services is missing from the apps>running>show cached, theres no sign of it.

- Going to google play from desktop, clicking on install it no longer shows the name of my phone, instead shows a loading "circle" saying loading or looking for compatibility.

- the phone is working, messaging, texts, browser, pre installed apps.

then reflash original micromax rom on ur phone via flash tool and then root it then flash kernel via cwm or twrp then flash stable bug-free custom rom from respected developers.

Do not flash custom rom on any another custom rom..every time when u flash custom rom first flash original rom then root it n flash another cutom rom. our respected developer work hard to make roms bug free so there is no bugs in bug free roms.

read careful every instruction on developer's rom page before flashing any rom.

On my sgs2 I love openpdroid and I almost considered LBE (don't like that it doesn't allow spoofing) but seems that its been having alot of issues so that doesn't seem like a great idea. I could have sworn that I had seen one or two threads before where some devs were working on some things similar to pdroid that were also a bit simpler to install and seemed like they might install on stock roms but can't find these threads. Does anyone have any suggestions for other apps that would give a bit more control over how user info is managed? Thx in advance!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaikokujinkyofusho:
I've been meaning to check out XPosed, I keep seeing it everywhere.

I guess I have one main question related to Xposed then, for the Nexus 4, as I am trying to keep it as-stock-as-possible would the XPosed framework interfere or break the "stockness" (forgive me with the terminology) of the stock rom? That is, will it continue to update when google pushes out new updates like 4.4.3, 4.4.4, and so on? Regardless I am going to look into it for my sgs2 as I am more tolerant of tinkering but the Nexus4 is not for me and they (sig other) just wants a no-fuss phone and I want them to have a no-fuss phone with a reasonable level of privacy (always a balance :))
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykumar00:
Absolutely not, your "stockiness" will not break, as one of the main features of the xposed framework is allowing mods without flashing files and/or modifying system files. You will still receive OTAs, but to install them you'll have to uninstall The framework. (It's just a button press in the xposed app and 2 seconds of waiting) you can reinstall xposed after the OTA.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaikokujinkyofusho:

Ok, the second part was a bit less clear however now that i know it won't break it I will go do the requisite reading and then post if i have additional questions. Thanks so much for putting me onto XPosed!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
when google pushes a new update(as so called OTA or Over The Air)your phone will display the update info. however when installing it will fail since one of the files in the system is modified(the app_process in /system/bin). then you go to the Xposed app. and unninstall de framework. or use any root explorer(since u will need to have root to install xposed) and delete app_process in /system/bin and rename the app_process.bak to just app_process(in same dir).

thats what he meant.

Edit:

you will loose all configurations,sdcard contents, downloaded apps, etc.... . if u still didnt unlock your bootloader(witch looks like no),because u will need to root your phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykumar00:
You will not have any problem if youre already rooted. When an OTA comes, just Open the Xposed app and press the button to uninstall the framework. Your OTA Will work just fine.

After the OTA, just click the insatll button to re install Xposed. Really simple, really. And since youre gonna install Xposed, I suggest you try out GravityBox too, its ****ing awesome.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaikokujinkyofusho:
I think I have you a "thank" click but wanted to come back to the post and thank you again, Xposed is impressive but XPrivacy is overwhelming, in an awesome way, and I thought PDroid covered alot. I've got some reading/re-reading to do but just wanted to say thanks cause i don't think I would have come across it otherwise. much appreciated! (and yeah, gravbox pretty damn nice too)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intotheunknown:
Hello,

I'm having a really hard time deciding between an LG G2 and the Nexus 5. On paper the LG G2 wins (bigger screen, bigger battery, better camera, etc) and as I can get one of these for less than the Nexus 5 the LG G2 seems the right choice as I'm not too concerned about software updates.

That said I am concerned about the bloated/ugly LG UI - sorry folks as I know some like it! I know I shouldn't judge till I have one but the screenshots I've seen do like rather bloated/unflattering compared to a Nexus 5 for example. However I don't really want to install a custom ROM as I'm a n00b, don't really want to deal with stability issues and just want it to work day in, day out.

As such I was wondering if I do get an LG G2 can I just use the Xposed framework to improve the UI rather than going down the custom rom route? It looks, for example, like you can do some pretty nifty things with Xposed framework + Gravity Box. For example, I'd like to tidy up the top row of icons (clock, battery meter, carrier, signal strength etc) as the LG blue icons look a bit ugly. I'd like to make these white, transparent, change the battery meter to a percentage, etc. I'd like to tidy up the settings page, etc etc. Basically I'd like to make the appearance of the UI more like an N5.

I *thought*, however, that the Xposed framework and it's modules were only supposed to be used on stock devices such as Nexuses/unskinned devices as ultimately modules like Gravity Box reach deep into the actual ROM?

I'm also aware of the specific G2 Xposed module so assume this is a safe module to use but what about other modules like Gravity Box?

Thanks in advance for any help!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timon12:

Thanks timon12 - your screenshot captures EXACTLY what I'd be looking to achieve! Looks very nice!

I'll be coming to an LG G2 from an iPhone so an Android n00b but I can follow instructions so hopefully rooting won't be too difficult. Is there a specific guide/method you'd recommend as I've seen a few?

Any chance you could tell me a little more about your setup and maybe a few more screenshots - for example:

1) What modules did you use with xposed - eg. Gravity Box, G2 xposed, etc?

2) Any joy sorting out the settings menu where Qslide seems to take up half the darn screen?

3) Is that a custom launcher?

4) Any mods to improve the camera speed which folks seen to complain about?

5) Final question I promise! I know rooting alone shouldn't block future OTA (I'm thinking about 4.4.2 when this updates rolls around) but does using modules like Gravity Box which affects the actual stock ROM potentially cause issues with updates?

Thanks bud!
