but some imei need a more expensive code

http://www.ebay.com/itm/111223239973?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

i bough 3 moto g from chile CLARO, 1 was unclocked by the 2$ code, the other are waiting

btw, about chile, yes, those cell phones are unlocked FOR CHILE, not for outside of chile (venezuela), i bough another moto g from movistar chile and it worked on movistar venezuela (i don´t know if it works on other carriers)

thanks

will post when i have the other 2 codes remaining
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1000bech:
If the phone came with a [chilean] Claro Sim Card (and a [chilean] Claro phone number), you should be able to unlock them for free. Here is the link for unlock: http://portal.clarochile.cl/aplicativos_portal/desbloqueo_de_equipo/index.html

It should not matter that you are in Venezuela or anywhere else in the world. Give it a try.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maurocds:
thanks, but off course i tried that with the 2 phones and it says there are no codes, then you fill a form to contact claro, and 3 things happen

1)they say they will contact motorola for the codes, then nothing else happens, they says phone is unlocked lol (lies)

2)they say phone is unlocked just for chile (true)

that web is for old phones

so there you go

CLARO chile are a bunch of liars, support only makes a fool of you, i wrote them on twitter, facebook, etc, lots of emails, no help at all

i hope the other 2 codes work

Hi I'm having a problem with my phone right now. I have it rooted with team win recovery and super su installed. I downloaded the new 4.4.2 update but it wont work. It will only boot me into recovery and when ever i restart it will power off again into recovery. Is there anyway to stop this?
[Moto X General] R3dbeaver:
im in the same boat. well, was.

to stop the loop, simply go to TWRP and clear your cache.

then you're back at step 1.

now the question is, do we need to un-root, uninstall TWRP and go back to stock recovery, or both?

and how? :)
[Moto X General] legohood:
Which section is wiping the cache in?
[Moto X General] R3dbeaver:
Wipe?

Or clear.

Just check a couple of them, it's fairly easy to find. It says "Clear cache/dalvik?" just wipe them out.

*OR* go to File Manager, go to /cache and remove the .zip file.
[Moto X General] legohood:
I mean clear, I can't find the actual button to do it are you positive that using filemanager is completely safe?
[Moto X General] R3dbeaver:
yup. just delete the f.zip under (root)/cache and ur good.
[Moto X General] legohood:
Do you mean wipe Dalvik Cache and the Cache in advanced wipe?
[Moto X General] flashallthetime:
Try fastboot erase cache ,yes you need to be 100% stock, stock recovery and unrooted, so you need to flash the stock recovery with fastboot but at this point just wait for the sbf 4.4.2 rogers firmware to show up and flash with rsdlite. If you make any stupid panicky flashes without knowing what you are doing you'll hard brick your device .

It has happened so many times after a new update comes up

[Moto X General] legohood:
When whatever that is comes out do you mind walking me through it, I'm kind of clueless with what I'm doing right now
[Moto X General] flashallthetime:
Yah, do you or have you ever used fastboot ( android sdk tools) ? Pm me if you need help. Just be very careful, hard bricking is quite easy if you flash the ota after certain conditions

I've run Zagg invisible shields on my wife's and my own phone for the past two years almost. So I went with what I knew. Got it in today, and installed it. Lined up perfectly, was smoothing, hit a bump. No biggie, lift, remove debris. Except........

The debris was embedded IN the blasted shield itself. How freaking nice is that? Now I'm out $20, no screen protector, and am not wanting to have to pay Zagg shipping and let them tie up my account with an authorization for full retail until they get my old one back. Now I'm STILL stuck without a screen protector.

Not happy about this at all. Maybe going to try that iloome flex or whatever it is.
[G2 Accessories] cachookaman:
ive never had any problems with best skins ever. i have a full matte skin on my phone right now and all the cases i have fit fine with it on. its just a little difficult to install since they dont provide you with anything that you need to install it. their customer service is great too. over the years, theyve sent me replacements for free without having to send them anything.

[G2 Accessories] sp33dsk8:
highly recommend the iLoome 8H Flex glass shield! I've seen videos where they drop glass protectors face down crack them pull them off and the screen has no damage! Show me a plastic screen protector do that
[G2 Accessories] blackangst:
Did you register your screen protector? Zagg warranties it FOR LIFE.
[G2 Accessories] Fastbird:
I did. I'm just not fanatic about them having a full price hold until I send them the old one back. They are shipping a new one to me for free, I just have to pony up the hold on funds still. Even if I get the new one, I'm not sure I"ll put it on. As I was applying this one I noticed the surface collecting VERY fine microscratches from the rubber squeegee and the microfiber cloth I was using.
[G2 Accessories] naturecannon:
Let's see a video with yours doing that :)

I have dropped a phone and screen never cracked (luck). Maybe the same situation in video and sp only cracked lol. I buy cases for drops and sp for scratches. My G2 is sporting mime ghost glass and ballistic Case, happy with the combo.

Zagg is too sticky for me, I like the original glass feel when I run my fingers across screen.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mtdurham:
I need to be able to access my FTP server from the Internet but all ports are closed.

My Bionic is my only connection to the Internet for my home network. I am using the Verizon Hotspot app and from my home network I can do anything I want to. This connectivity is great.

However, when away from home I need to access my FTP server on ports 21, 8080, and 443. I am using CrushFTP as my server. I have configured no-ip and from within CrushFTP it passes the built-in no-ip connectivity test, Thus my FTP server is reaching no-ip just fine. I check my IP that Google says I have against a ping to mydomain.no-ip.biz and the both match. But when I do a Sheilds-Up port scan, ALL ports are in stealth mode.

Next I loaded Port Forwarder on the phone and tried every connection to my laptop but still no luck. BTW, I connected the laptop directly to the hotspot taking out all routers and switches of my home network. Same results. The firewall is OFF on the laptop.

Then I downloaded a port scanner onto the pone. When I scan the phone's public IP, 70.201.1.55 port 21, 8080 etc are closed. So i tried scanning port 21 on my laptop's IP, 192.168.44.149 and it said OPEN. This proves the problem is not the laptop rather the phone.

After long talks with Verizon they assure me that they are not blocking inbound ports. I believe them because my neighbor has both a Bionic and a 3G hotspot stick. When he tries to get to his IP camera with the Bionic it fails. But if he connects his 3G stick, he CAN get to his camera.

I am willing to pay someone to get the Bionic to work! Or, if you know of a different phone that can do what I need to do, PLEASE PLEASE tell me. I cannot stress how important this is to me.

Thank You for reading.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Wheelman6969:
Well it turns out that although Verizon does not block ports, your 4G phone in NATed and thus easily connecting from the Internet back to your system is not possible. Apps like LovMeIn do work just fine. But if you are trying to connect back to an FTP server, IP camera, etc, you cannot.

However, I was able to get me needs met by signing up for one of those VPN solutions AND getting a public IP from them too. I choose PureVPN and it is costing me $74/year for the service. I have a Microsoft Server 2003 running under VMware where my FTP server runs. I loaded the VPN client on the MS server and I can not access my FTP server from the Internet. I did setup the firewall for added protection.

Please note that your system will be fully accessible to anyone unless you set up a good firewall and block all um-necessary open ports. I put this server under VMware and it only runs the FTP server program for additional protection.

Good Luck!

As some of you might know the black case is quite prone to finger marks. Is there a way to reduce it or keep it clean as possible?

Yeah I'm talking about the official Google case. Yes the back of it is very prone to the finger marks

Honestly, it's not bad at all. I just have to wipe it every other day or so.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] toyfreak:
Official Black Nexus 5 Bumper Case is JUNK IMO

I've had mine for 3 days of normal use and the coating is coming off like crazy around the edges where the bottom meets the sides. Plus, the hard plastic material makes the phone hard to get in and out of the case for cleaning. Your experience might be different but mine's going back to Google. No way this is worth even the 25% off price is just paid for it.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dvgrhl:
The same thing happened to my black official case. Google refunded me no questions asked and told me to keep the case. They said I could order another one, as they said this hasn't been a wide spread issue so I might have just gotten one from a bad batch. So far the replacement one I got (at 25% off) has been fine going on a week. The defective one I had showed peeling within 2 days.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] fullgear:
Hi,

I have an Wizard with IPL /SPL 1.05, I unlock CID, then upgraded to AK2U rom(IPL/SPL 2.17), then tried CID unlock with lokiwiz, unlocking failed with error:...

However, I still can 2sd all & write back the full rom.

So, my thinking is :

1) once the CID is unlocked, we can flash the pda with any rom & the cid remain unlocked after flashing.

2)To change language on AK2U rom,I think we can tried to downgrade the rom into IPL/SPL 1.xx, by using a same country/brand rom. e.g. downgrade a German Qtek AK2U rom with a German Qtek 1.xx rom, then unlock cid, we might be able to flash it into any other language/brand.

3) But what is the reason for the cid unlock fail? Is it due to the 2.xx IPL or 2.xx SPL? Or due to the os version? or combination of some/all reason?

4) Is the CID lock located in the IPL? or SPL? or OS?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Rollercoaster123:
Hi XDA,

I've been trying to find a solution for this particular problem, have tried several solutions presented in various threads, but none of them have actually helped me solve the issue. In short, I'm running the LGE988 and can't seem to flash another ROM. I can however always access the recovery and it doesn't matter which one (CWM, TWRP, PhilZ). From the recovery I can install .zip files, but no rom would actually get installed. It just reboots back into recovery and if I look on the internal sdcard it would show nothing new.

I've tried using LG Flash Tool to go back to the original ROM, which worked before, but now I'm getting the low battery notification. I've tried all the solutions presented in the threads to work around it, but no luck so far.

ADB sideload is not functional on any of the recoverys either.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
I went to use my Nexus 5 (D821) earlier today but it wouldn't turn on. Holding power didn't seem to work, so I assumed the battery was flat and left it charging for a couple of hours. Now it gets stuck at the first black and white "google" logo forever. The device is unlocked and rooted, but was working fine, and nothing was changed leading up to the issue.

I'm able to access the bootloader and fastboot still, but nothing seems to work.

Attempting to flash a partition (fastboot flash recovery twrp.img):

FAILED (remote: flash write failure)

Attempting to erase a partition (fastboot erase userdata):

FAILED (remote: failed to erase partition)

I can boot TWRP by running fastboot boot twrp.img, but attempting to mount any partitions results in errors such as:

E: Unable to find partition size for /system

E: Unable to mount /system

Also, attempting to install a zip shows that internal storage is 0MB in size.

At this stage, I suspect the flash memory has died a horrible death, and I'm trying to work out how to set the tampered and unlocked flags back to false to I can return it under warranty, however this is proving difficult too. If I run 'fastboot oem lock', it appears to succeed (the bootloader even changes to 'LOCK STATE - locked'), but as soon as I reboot the device, it reverts back to unlocked, and the padlock shows up again.

I've even tried manually via:

echo -ne "\x00" | dd obs=1 count=1 seek=16400 of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

echo -ne "\x00" | dd obs=1 count=1 seek=16404 of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

but these don't seem to have any effect on the flags.

So now I'm out of ideas, and just hoping I can set these flags back before sending the device for warranty. Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
There's nothing you can do about it now. Just send it back. I doubt they'll blame flash memory failure on unlocking the bootloader
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
I was helping a guy yestreday, he had a some problem like you. When you turn on the phone, the flashchip shuts off for some reasone. I was looking for the mmc or mmcblk device in the /dev then /dev/block after I booted a twrp like you, but I could not find any device called mmcblk or mmc, even the partitions was missing like mmcblk0p1 etc...

cat /proc/partitions just give me an empty screen, that it didnt find any storage device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
I'm just a little worried they'll refuse to honour the warranty without even bothering to check the hardware. Aren't they within their right to do this given the warranty terms? Sounds like I don't have any choice!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
I'm seeing a bunch of partitions listed when I run 'cat /proc/partitions', so I guess my issue might be a little different.

What I'm confused about though, is if the NAND flash is truely dead, how does the bootloader run? Isn't this stored on the same NAND flash chip? Also, aren't the lock state and tamper flags on the same chip? If so, how are these still accessible, but not writeable? I'm guessing it's not a complete failure, but only a partial one... Thoughts?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It surely isn't fully dead. It could be a corrupt partition or bunch of partitions being the issue. But the bootloader also isn't fully functional as you cannot relock it.

You definitely need to reset tamper flag for RMA, but for warranty, don't they have to prove that the hardware fault was caused by the unlocked bootloader? I know Samsung refuse warranty on modification but I don't think Google do. It is a developer phone after all.

That said, you've no choice as I can see. I'm not aware of anyone having warranty rejected or approved with an unlocked bootloader yet
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Can you post the outpot for the cat /proc/partitions command?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
I'm not sure if the process is different here in New Zealand. I was under the impression LG deals with warranty issues here, and Google isn't involved?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
I'll have to take a photo, as I can't find any way to run adb or save the log off. Give me a minute!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
you can do the whole thing with adb from your pc.

you need the naked usb drivers for that, and if you running windows 8 or 8.1 you have to turn off driver signiture enforcement inorder to isntall the drivers.

and then with adb shell command you can use your cmd window on the pc as a terminal window on your phone
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
adb was working with the Nexus when the rom was booted, but can't seem to find the device when running TWRP or fastboot (not sure if the server can run there?) Will the naked usb drivers resolve this issue?

Regardless, I've attached the photo with the partitions.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
google are only involved in that all this is done on behalf of them. They commission the phone. But the mandate is that it's a developer phone
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
That's somewhat comforting. We shall see how it goes! Not looking forward to being without a decent phone for however long the warranty process takes though!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Please do let us know how you get on. It will be interesting to confirm how the unlocked bootloader goes down.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
Yes naked drivers will help you, but keep in mind that fi you are running windows 8 or 8.1 you have to turn of driver signiture enforcement.

Could you mount the system partition?

$ mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

$ cd /system

and try to make folder like

$ mkdir asd

and then remove it

$ rm -rf asd

if that works we can write the flash chip, so it must be some kind of partition corruption.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
I'm able to use adb now, so that's a start.

Trying to mount with the command you gave gives:

mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system

mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 on /system failed: Invalid argument
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
for me this command works.

I use twrp 2.6.3.4
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
Running same twrp here, so I guess it's failing because it can't mount the partition due to some kind of corruption.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
Will do. I'm curious though, if random corruptions like this can occur, isn't it possible that the bootloader could appear unlocked if it's reading a corrupt piece of memory? If that's the case, they can't just assume the user has unlocked the bootloader in cases where the flash chip fails, correct? Granted, this isn't the case here, but it must have some impact!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
I don't know what else you could do. You can try to lock and reset tamper flag by mmcblk0p15 and not with ...../by-name/misc, if it works probably you could not unlock your bl again.

Try to lock bl and reset tamperflag (adb shell):

echo -ne "\x00" | dd obs=1 count=1 seek=16400 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15

echo -ne "\x00" | dd obs=1 count=1 seek=16404 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p15

---------- Post added at 12:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

bl lock state and tamper flag stored at the misc partition, so bl can read it but ti seems it fails to write it, i don't know the reasone why, but it seems tha path to the partitions by-name is missing

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
My guess would be that 'fastboot boot' is running the image from RAM, and nothing is being written to the flash chip. I saw your thread, and I'm fairly sure you have the same issue.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
I'm not sure. We don't have Google Play devices here. I believe you can RMA via Google Play, and they'll send you a replacement, but I think you might get charged again if they decide it's not covered under warranty. Someone else can probably clarify this though...
