You either have to restore all the stock things you modified - boot / recovery OR save the OTA, flash stock and put the OTA again into the sdcard, restart and voila

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkeingel:
Flashing the boot.img from a stock firmware - from the specific firmware that you are running now even.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
boot.img is the kernel, you only need to flash back a stock kernel if you have flashed a custom one earlier.

The superboot method does not alter the kernel, it just does some magic one-time boot that roots the phone (ie alters files in /system). You still have the original kernel in place. superboot just flashes superSU. superSU is the app itself plus certain /system file addtions and alterations.

To remove root all the /system files that rooting updates must be set back to how they were, the updater does a checksum on the files and if they differ from what they should be then the update fails.

superSU for example modifies /system/etc/install-recovery.sh as well as adding new files to /system. So /system/etc/install-recovery.sh would need to be put back to how it was.

Depending on which files the superboot method uses will depend on which files need altering back.

In general you are going to want to flash back stock /system as thats easiest (or maybe you did a nandroid and can restore /system from that).
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tee_pot:
ok, got 4.4.2 installed now :D

retail 8GB unlocked using Paul's method 2.

uninstalled SuperSU using the option within the app's settings

used the guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 to flash the stock retail gb 4.3 rom, then copied the retail gb OTA update file (found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49390749 ) to the sdcard root and performed the update in settings -> about phone -> system update

now going to see if titanium backup worked! :)

xTx
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
Thats good. So SuperSU basically cleans itself up and reverts all /system files it changed back to their original values. Easier than restoring a stock /system.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skinpipe:
Unroot using the supersu app if that's what you mean you cant do
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadpunk:
Same thing here. Uk retail Moto G 8Gb, restore back to 4.3 stock, copy the OTA to sdcard and go to system update...

Phone will ask to copy OTA, just tap yes and install now... :p
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
Yes you can, superSU has an 'unroot' option. On another thread Im sure someone had issues with it as it left some junk lying behind, but for the poster in this thread it seems to have worked fine.

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

if you restore entirely back to stock, ie stock recovery as well, then waiting for the OTA to download the 'offical' way may be better. This will then update not just Android but your stock recovery as well. Im unsure if installing from the sdcard updates the radios (ie mobile radios) or not. If not then again installing the officiall way may be better.

If someone on here knows if the mobile radios get updated I'd like to know. I see many /modem files in the update.zip. Its these Im interested in whether they get flashed or not when using the sdcard method.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tee_pot:
rooted 4.4.2 now working:

followed the guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2563599&highlight=mismatched to install CWM recovery

downloaded the latest SuperSU from http://download.chainfire.eu/376/SuperSU/ , copied to root of the sdcard and installed using CWM

titanium backup (free version) worked a charm, only thing it seems it didn't backup was my live wallpaper choice! bit of a pain to have to click "install" and "done" on each app (all 181 of them!) but much quicker than reinstalling and setting them up again from the Play store :D

now to have a play with my new kitkat! ;)

EDIT: incidentally, where does it show what bootloader is being used? can't see anything in phone settings or fastboot...
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -sandro-:
do any of these steps wipe data and/or apps?

cause I'd like to avoid that but disabling superuser from app doesn't fix the problems of the update failing
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott_doyland:
Are you just disabling superSU or are you actually choosing the option to unroot, ie the option in superSU that says:

Full unroot

Cleanup for permanent unroot

If you do this is should remove root and put all /system files back as they were (ie the ones it altered during root).

Also I assume you have not modifed any system apps yourself, eg installed newer versions etc or removed any? If you have then again the update wont work. The update checks lots of files to ensure they have not been modified before it does the update.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tee_pot:
I'd imagine so... I think flashing the original stock 4.3 ROM would, but I actually did a factory reset which wiped the data - AFTER running a full backup using Titanium Backup (free version) from the Play store. It's incredibly easy to do- when the backup is finished, make sure you copy the whole folder to a computer so you can copy back and restore when you've managed to upgrade to 4.4.2 . It even saved my homescreen widget and app layouts, which I wasn't expecting! :) I should mention that Titanium Backup only works if your Moto G is already rooted...

Using the Full Unroot option in SuperSU wasn't enough for me to get past the error screen on the OTA update. As far as I'm aware, the only thing other than the SuperSU app that wasn't stock was that I'd added a different logo so it didn't display the warning that the bootloader was unlocked. I hadn't (knowingly) updated any system apps, and definitely hadn't removed any.

xTx
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CassandraN:
Just tried with this, plus restoring the boot logo from the 4.3 UK retail firmware at http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14. The only thing I can think of that might still not be stock is any files left over from the initial (superboot / MoDaCo method 1) rooting. supersu wiped itself out sufficiently virulently that it can't now reroot the phone though.

I think it's time to try the reflash the whole stock rom, do the OTA update then restore everything using TitaniumBackup option.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tee_pot:

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muxer107:
For users getting the error message.

I just created an account to help other users with the error message, so I hope someone reads this!

I did have to flash back to my 4.3 ROM using:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 (no idea why, I can't figure out what I changed).

This enabled me to use the OTA update.

YOU WILL NOT LOSE ANY DATA BY FLASHING THE STOCK IMAGE ONCE YOU DO NOT RUN THE BAT WITH /EU COMMAND.

So if you're getting the error, install the stock image without /eu, then just go into 'about phone' and click update. Worked perfectly :)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahac85:
Which bat? Also what u mean EU command?

Sent from my XT1032
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tee_pot:
If you follow the link as suggested by muxer107, step 3a mentions running a .bat with /eu switch.

"The "/eu" switch forces userdata to be erased from the device, this is the same as a factory reset or wipe this is recommended when restoring stock firmware." so if you omit the /eu from the command, then you will not be performing the above reset (NOTE: I have not tested this personally!)

You donot require root to flash a rom or recovery.

But also since a few days, music is not played automatically when I plug in my headset. I used Smart Connect, it starts whatever player I choose, but music is not started. I am not sure whether this is kernel related.

Does anybody have a working setup that when they connect a wired headset, the music plays automatically?

Hello everyone

After changing my boot sound (from a chinese one to the stock huawei one) when everything went ok!

then i changed the boot animation (again from a chinese to a normal one) but i lost the boot sound!!!

I did all these by just renaming the old files (bootSound.ogg and bootanimation.zip, bootanimationex.zip) and copy the new ones to the same exact folders not with TWRP or something else.

Why this happens?! Inside my original bootanimation.zip the file desc.txt does not contain any information about the sound like s sound.ogg or something like that???

Can you explain me why this happened !? and how can i fix it!

Thank you!
[Motorola Droid 4] Thrackan:
Gents and dames,

I recently updated my wifes D4 to CM 10.1.3 (official) and reapplied the GSM patch manually by editing the build.prop file according to the directions by Mentor here:

http://www.internauta37.altervista.org/how-and-patch-fully-enable-gsm-verizon-cdma-phones-android

After re-entering APN settings, the phone registers on the GSM/UMTS/HSDPA network and calls/texts can be made.

Unfortunately, this isn't very stable. From time to time, the mobile network is lost completely. No 3G, no 2G, the status icon says "No Service".

A reboot doesn't solve the issue, usually connectivity will be restored after scanning for networks 1-5 times (which is slow as heck and sometimes crashes).

CM 10.1.3 is running on SafeStrap (3.65 iirc) Slot 1. No other slots have been made.

I am suspecting either a build.prop setting or a crashing driver(?), maybe a combination.

My questions:

What can I log/monitor to find out what happens when mobile connectivity is lost?

Does anyone have this problem (and a solution)?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IAmSixNine:
To add to the good advice the other people have stated you can try to better calibrate the percentage of your device by letting it run completely down to the point where your phone shuts off. While its off plug it in. Keep it off while its charging. Once its green turn the phone back on, still keeping it plugged in. The indicator will go green to red for a short time. Once your at 100% then you can unplug and use your phone. By running it down to zero and leaving it off and fully charging it you essentially are calibrating the device.

Currently its off, and if it drops to 90% or so within minutes theres a good chance it could do the opposite when it gets so 5% or less. It might sit there for an hour or so because the calibration is off.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamilmirza:

Hello everyone,

is there a fix, mod or even rom in which you can disable noise cancellation while recording videos? I am sure that this is a software thing so it can be turned off, just don't know how. It really makes the video sound awful and unnatural (first one or two seconds of the video sounds normal, then noise reduction kicks in).

Here is an example (not a very good one, but is shows how the noise reduction behaves when some sounds are not very loud):

Morning all.

So i'm on a rooted 4.3 sense 5.5 Rom but can't seem to get rid of ads.

I've tried AdAway 2.8 and AdFree 0.8.66 but both work for a few hours then revert back. If I reboot as suggested my changes are reverted as if I never ran the program in the first place.

Any suggestions?
[HTC One Mini] nelvinchi:
Which ROM are you running? Real stock, but rooted? Your problem is HTC system protection, it's reverts all system changes on boot or specific system events....

I'd recommend this ROM - choose the deodex ROM - the ROM includes a modded kernel which removes the protection..... :)

Or you could S-OFF, but read this first!

Have fun!

Any issues, let me know!

:D
[HTC One Mini] elmuziko:
Morning,

Yeah the deox ROM is the one I'm on thanks to your recommendation.

Originally I could never get Xposed or SuperSU to work but ever since that ROM, and the SuperSU mentioned in the post and Xposed 2.4.1 these have been fine which is why I wondered if maybe there were updates available for the ad away apps.

Is there a way of re-flashing the kernal without taking the ROM back to the initial setup?
[HTC One Mini] nelvinchi:
Before we go to flash city, try this version of adaway https://db.tt/nVzVc7m5

You may have to try and apply a few times, if it gets stuck on applying, reboot and try again
[HTC One Mini] elmuziko:
yeah that's the one i have.

Is it as easy to apply the host files from recovery or bootloader if flashing the kernal is tricky?

Thanks again for your help, you're becoming super helper guy for me!
[HTC One Mini] nelvinchi:
You could have the generated hosts file written to an alternative location by setting it in preferences - then move it manually.... BUT you shouldn't need to....

The kernel is integrated into the ROM, there isn't a custom ROM available to flash....

Can you screenshot the errors you get, and also go to supersu and select full logging for adaway, once done, try updating and applying.... Send the supersu logs please! :D

Sent by my favorite carrier pigeon.... hope he comes back..... :(
[HTC One Mini] elmuziko:
Eugh, now it appears ad-away has taken a turn for the worse.

Removed, rebooted, reinstalled.

See attached. Computer sez no.

Worth a complete re-install of ROM?
[HTC One Mini] nelvinchi:
Do you have Titanium Backup Pro? If so.....

Remove the app from supersu.

Force Stop the app via apps in settings.

Convert the app to a system app using Titanium Backup (or an alternative app that converts apps system apps, search the store).

Start the app again, supersu will ask for permissions.

Restart your phone.

Try again!
[HTC One Mini] elmuziko:
Boy I am not having any luck with this whatsoever.

Ok so I reflashed my ROM with the one mentioned earlier.

Tried AdAway without any jiggery pokery and it applys successfully but then two hours later it's reverted back.

I tried full logging but then AdAway kept crashing.

I tried Titanium backup Pro and spent an hour watching it "Processing... Please wait".

I rebooted, Opened ESFileExplorer, mounted the System folder, copied AdAway into System\Apps, opened the app and it crashed.

Rebooted and AdAway is no longer installed. Slapped it in System\Apps again, managed to open with full logging and got the attached.

I think I'm just destined to have Ad's on a few apps. It just keeps reverting when I reboot.
