[Moto X Q&A] heroisnotdead:
I have a tmo dev edition, basically same scenario as you. Could you elaborate on step 2, please? Did you remove all apps that use root (like titaniumBU, adblock, etc) or did you remove SuperSU and all files associated with it? I presume you did all of this via mfastboot, yes?
[Moto X Q&A] rivas1981:
how can i unroot the device without flashing a stock firmware?
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
I believe supersu has a setting to unroot device. Have you done any other alterations other than rooting

no go

1st of all I had the Phil's boot recovery, Xposed, Lucky Patcher, erc.

properly uninstalled xposed apps and xposed.

uninstalled Lucky P

I switched to TWRP, cleared devlik cache

switched to oem recovery.img

ran the update and now I get an error but it loads right back as normal saying upgrade unsuccessful.
[Moto X Q&A] noxipoo:
I'm getting the same thing. moto x dev edition

ran xposed uninstaller, disabled modules

flashed xposed disabler

flashed stock recovery

fastboot erase cache

took ota and it installed 10%, then the stock recovery ! image came up, then reboot into unsuccessful.

tried again after clearing cache, and used the Blur_Version.161.44.25.ghost_row.Retail.en.US.zip to flash manually in stock recovery off the SD card but that fails right away.

Flash the system.img for your carrier, use the same version you're already running. Use mfastboot

[Moto X Q&A] noxipoo:
I'm assuming I need to flash 4.4 and then apply OTA from last week to get to 4.4.2. Since I bought my phone directly from Motorola and it is a GSM Dev Edition, I'm not sure if I should flash AT&T or TMO. I'm currently on AT&T but will be switching to TMO in a few months.

I found a random link to mfastboot.exe, couldn't find it on moto's site at all and I'm looking here for the 4.4 images. http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
You can flash either one, I would suggest T-Mobile sbf as it has less bloat than the at&t version, I would also download the at&t firmware for just the modem files so you'll receive the full data signal.

Mfastboot can be found here also http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2603358

Just remember you need a unlocked bootloader to flash another carriers sbf firmware

I did a lot of reading and maybe I'm just tired but I can't to figure out something.

I currently have a Rogers moto x that I unlocked the bootloader. Stock recovery. I flashed using RSD lite the at&t firmware 4.4 from this thread.

Now I want to flash Rogers 4.4.2. Should I just go ahead and flash the 4.4.2 rogers firmware from this site using RSD lite? Or are there any other steps I need to take? I don't care about losing my files because I will give the phone to my brother and I want it to be stock with the latest rogers firmware

Thanks in advance

What constitutes a system mod? I got rid of the bootloader unlocked warning by flashing the logo.bin file with the original kit kat logo. Is that a system mod?

Also, I erased and then overwrote clogo, but I think I may have erased it again. Is that a system mod?

Is there any way for me to find where these files are? I can't find them using a root browser.

[Moto X Q&A] flashallthetime:
Yes he can ,just flash twrp recovery and it should ask if you want root access, if not you can flash the supersu 1.93 zip

As for you just flash the system.img , don't worry about the logo.bin , that's reflashed with the ota

Just want to know whats the differences betwen roms at Galaxy Note 8.0 Android Development section and Galaxy Note 8.0 Original Android Development section?

What roms are based on samsung's original firmware and what roms are AOSP?

Original Android Development -> AOSP ROMS (CM, Slim, Carbon, Omni etc.)

Android Development -> Stock Touchwiz based ROMs.

Currently AOSP based ROM's are not as stable as stock ROMs, but they are getting stable day by day and they are using Android 4.4.

Stock firmware based (Touchwiz) ROM's are 4.2.2 and contain some modifications to original firmware.

I'm going to jump on the back of this thread rather than start a new one...

Not been on here in terms of system specifics for a while ( I hover over the Note art threads mostly), but am starting to get the upgrade bug again and am thinking of taking a day off work so that I can refresh my 2 android devices (note 8 and TF101).

GT-N5110 Current state

Android version: 4.1.2 (Stock)

Kernel version: CivZ-StormBorn-Rev1.7

There seems to be many ROMs doing the rounds on here at the moment. For those who have tried many of them what would you recomend me updating to? I only tend to flash every 6 months to year and have started to go a little cross eyed with all the available options and updates to each.

My main requirements are with stability and performance, I'm not fused whether it is touchwiz based or not. The art programmes I use tend to take up alot of memory and CPU when rendering (mostly Clover Paint, not that what app I use should make a difference), so I'd like a ROM thats fairly light and wont crash out on me when I get inspiration for a drawing.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] hertsjoatmon:
I think I jinxed myself with that post yesterday. Had 2 crashed while drawing in Clover Paint last night! Very frustrating, I hadnt had one for a while before that. :(

I'm kinda partial to Carbon KK (this week). One of the few 4.4.2 based Roms. But I do like to hop, so next week? Maybe Slim. Don't miss any of the Samsung apps and/or bloatware, and s-pen works just fine for what I need to do.

Created an ~800MB EXT4 partition labeled CACHE.

Created an ~8GB EXT4 partition labeled DATA.

Did you make sure to make your new partitions all EXT4?

Looking good so far, my sdcard mounts within android now and I can see the contents of my sdcard. Does the /extSdCard partition get shared with both internal and external ROMs? That's where I keep my backups and photo's and etc. Thank you for all your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nicene Nerd:
Yes, /extSdCard is shared. Only the /sdcard storage is separate. In fact, shared /extSdCard is used by the MaulBoot app.

I have my sdcard all set so after I patch the ROM that I'm trying to flash I get a failed error in TWRP. I patched the ROM with the script and it said everything went fine when it was done patching but it won't flash in recovery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nicene Nerd:
What ROM did you patch? Also, when you get the "Error executing updater binary in zip," you actually want to check the updater-script file, not the binary. Also, did it say anything before "Error executing updater binary in zip"?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nicene Nerd:
Everything looks OK. I have successfully patched and run CleanROM 8 Core in my testing. I'll test Gummy ROM myself and see if I can replicate the error.

In the mean time, here are some miscellaneous questions that I'll look into:

What version of Windows are you using?

Where did you extract MaulBoot?

Can you paste the output of the MaulBoot script?

Do you have admin rights?

Ah! I found the problem. I made a last-minute change to the script before uploading, and this accidentally led to a Windows line return (CRLF) being added to the end of the updater-script, which a Linux-based recovery cannot parse. I have fixed the issue now. Download the updated MaulBoot package in the OP (or simply remove line 77 from MaulBootPatcher.bat) and patch the ROMs again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deuce237bblock:
I am running Windows 8.1 on my Microsoft Surface Pro. I do have administrative privileges. I will post the output of the script and you can see the directory I extracted the script into.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nicene Nerd:
Ah, yes, sorry, I just posted the answer while you were writing. I have uploaded a fixed MaulBoot ROM Patcher script. You can download the new one or simply remove line 77 from MaulBootPatcher.zip.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deuce237bblock:
Yup, that did it. It's running great now. Thank you!

If I wanted to flash a custom kernel to the external ROM do I just patch the kernel zip with the MaulBootPatcher script?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nicene Nerd:
I cannot promise that it will work, but in theory it might. Just make sure to click the "Set Current ROM as External" button again after flashing the kernel, or else you'll brick the external ROM next time you try to switch.

Edit: Scratch that. Some kernels mount the system partition the same way that Google Apps packages do, which my script is not configured to patch. You'll need to patch a kernel's updater-script manually following the Gapps directions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deuce237bblock:
So I have to run the script to patch the boot.img then edit the updater-script correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nicene Nerd:
Yes. That should do it.

Okay I'm able to boot into my second ROM.

As soon as I reboot it only takes me to my external ROM and won't let me go back by selecting boot internal on the app.

I can mobile Odin my kernels to switch back and fourth but that is no fun. What's going on here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nicene Nerd:
Clarify: when you click "Boot to Internal ROM," does nothing happen or does it boot to your external ROM? Also, check in /mnt/extSdCard/dual/ and verify that boot-int.img is present.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deskjet390:
It boots to external only and there is nothing in dual.

What should be in dual? The internal kernel or external or what? Any special naming conventions?

I even installed maulboot apk as system app in my internal ROM to give it more powa!
