OK people... I'm coming from N5 rom (always here around), it seemed "the perfect rom" but for some strange reason I noticed a serious BUG, so instead of understanding how to repair it I preferred to start from scratch with a pure google rom... so I am here

my original setup (xt1032 - UE ver - 8gb):

1. bootloader > unlocked bootloader

2. recovery > latest cwm touch

3. N5 rom + N5 gapps

then I downloaded this BIG .zip, extracted, copied adb fastboot .dll and .exe in the same folder, opened GPE*.bat and modded set fastboot=fastboot.exe as mfastboot.exe (the motorola one)

booted into bootloader and launched GPE*.bat... it screamed a bit... then I made a regular reboot (always from bootloader)

after some minutes (3-4), I started to reinstall all my stuff... in the meanwhile I checked "updates" menu under settings... and as planned a 168Mb update will carry my Moto G from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4...

stay tuned!

EDIT:

OK upgraded successfully, now I'm on 4.4.4 GPE

I love google experience! ;)

EDIT2:

had to reinstall UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4, now I've root again

ps: I had (1st) to re-flash latest cwm recovery touch too (from bootloader)

EDIT3:

Ok I found some app "missing"... in particular the gallery, it shouldn't included?? strange... where can I find latest google gallery? or even motorola gallery apk should e fine. thank you

EDIT4:

nevermind, GalleryGoogle.apk was "stolen" from the N5 rom .zip file :) , while because I don't use at all hangouts, now I miss a simple sms app... again found in the playstore there is the "old" apk coming from 4.4.2, working like charm

keep in mind that you have to re-mount /system from recovery or you wont able to copy anything under /system/app
[Moto G Android Development] suiller:
OK people, sorry for my "alone" posts, anyway I use also for keep a track of my work, for some could be also useful when they are in hurry...

anyway, I restored everything, moved into /system/app some apps that I found on N5 rom that I liked a lot such as GoogleGallery or LightBulb

ALL works perfectly, except... except that there is something not totally clear to me about recovery

I have now latest cwm touch recovery, I suppose it isn't specifically for GPE, because when I try to make backup (trough otg kingston 32gb pendrive) it just backups boot, recovery and system... on data it gives error, unable to mount it

I suppose because regular cwm try to mount /data as moto table instead of simple ext partition (GPE way)

but I love cwm touch, something of you good guys know the existence of the cwm touch for GPE version? or something very "cool", because the only GPE recovery I found here around seems really old, and its menu are soooo tiny... no way! :cool:

EDIT:

OK, installed latest Philipz_or_whatever touch recovery worked, now my backup are full, and I supposed it was becasue /data folder is in ext4 format (GPE/classic way)

Philipz recovery is an unified version, so it should work with ALL partition variants (gpe/no-gpe/xt1032/xt1033/etc...)

Is this still a valid method?

The link is dead.

I have a xt1032 with panandroid (so yeah, a custom recovery, unlocked bootloader and all) and I want to convert it to GPE.

Is this the right way?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
THIS TUTORIAL IS ONLY FOR HARD BRICKED DEVICES.

HARD BRICK MEANS NO FLASHMODE AND NO FASTBOOT.

IN ORDER TO PROCEED DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR DEVICE IS REQUIRED.

AS AFTER OPENING YOUR DEVICE, YOUR WARRANTY IS 100% VOID.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

Let's get started.

1. Download tools.7z from attachments and pack for your device.

2. Install ggsetup-3.0.0.7.exe

3. Open the back cover of your device.

4. Find the test point (See attachments).

5. Disconnect a battery, connect a usb cable. LED RED will start to blink.

6. Using the paper clip connect your test point with the GND. I used the metal shield in the middle of the motherboard.

7. Open the device manager, you should see SEMC Flash Device. If no, you did something wrong.

8. Disconnect your phone from computer.

9, Repeat the step 5.

10.Run the s1tool and select S1 MSM8974 EMERGENCY for the phone type.

11. Press the flash button, and choice the APP file for your device.

12. Press testpoint ready and repeat the step 6.

13. Remove the testpoint and press READY, when program will ask you to do so.

14. If flash was successful, you may disconnect your phone from usb, connect your battery and try to boot.You may have to charge your battery.

15. Now you can flash your device normally using software.

P.S.

I was not be able to flash on windows 8 64bit, but I flashed without problems on XP.

I would like to thank:

the_laser for making the software.

myevilface from support.setool.net for finding testpoint for c69xx.

and my poor Z Ultra which I sacrificed trying to find the test point :(

Actually I finished him when I wanted to fix audio jack.

Was to happy that my device is fixed and damaged the screen connector :D

UPDATE:

If I helped you to save money, you can buy me a beer or two, which is cheaper than a new motherboard. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Mighty_X:
Maybe stupid question : Do you think with this testpoint mode there is a way of unlocking Bootlader although it is not permitted by the provider?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
There is option to unlock boot, and it asks to do the testpoint trick, but I did not test it,as mine bootloader is unlocked and screen is dead now. :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I really hope i never have to do this :p Thanks for the guide!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] [NUT]:
+1 :D

[MENTION=3665957]the_laser[/MENTION], there are some poor souls on the Xperia Z who have the same problem by flashing a Sammy recovery to their Z which destroyed their bootloader as well...

They still seem to have some life in their mobile reporting it as a qcom device to windows (reconnecting over and over again), if I send some or one of them over to you by pm, would you be able to help them too?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zeppelinrox:
This is REALLY AWESOME. :highfive:

Call me crazy, but I'm actually a bit excited to see somebody post that they totally recovered their phone to a 100% working state :victory:

And brought to us by 2 guys that aren't even "senior members" yet LOL

I'd imagine that if the the software is compatible, the only challenge is to find the test point?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Doom Slayer:
Right after I brick my phone, I knew that it will be fixed without motherboard replacement.

And I was exited too, when it was recovered. Too exited. Now need a new motherboard for sure. :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] zeppelinrox:
Perhaps you should add to the guide...

"Have a steady hand and... KEEP CALM" :p

[Sprint LG Optimus G] Madolinn:
Today I was pretty much fed up with the constant amount of messages being stuck in "sending...." and even the ones that after half a second "failed to send", so I decided I'd try and update my phone again.

Stock rom, Fiddy619 rooted.

So I go into magical SuperSU and click the Full Unroot button. Success. Reboot phone. Check for software update, oh poor dead Android guy. 1 minute later, phone reboots, back to square 1 with "partial" root and no SuperSU.

Okay, so I rerun Fiddy619. Success. Go to apps. No SuperSU. So I push it on over from my computer, install. SuperSU boots up. "A new Binary is -" SuperSU has stopped. Open it up, SuperSU has stopped. SuperSU has stopped. SuperSU has stopped. Okay. So I get it open, hurry up and update. Success. No more annoying messages.

Well lets check out Adfree.. Thinking.. SuperSU has stopped. Well that's great. So now SuperSU is broken but I'm still rooted.

All I wanted to do was unroot, update. Nothing more. So where should I go about from here? SuperSU is broken and Freegee doesn't load, just resets my phone after hanging it for a minute.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
You don't have to unroot. Just take thre update. There's a guide here if you need it. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2050582
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Madolinn:
After installing Freegee I never got it to properly load. It would just crash, so I had assumed it wasn't working properly.

As of right now it seems like I'm stuck unrooted, but I still can't take the OTA update. Whenever an app would normally ask for SuperSU permission, it crashes, and the app hangs. Opening Freegee just resets my phone.

The thread doesn't really help because I did follow those directions, but I don't have a custom loader or recovery. It's pure stock+root (now in limbo of rooted).
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
What recovery do you have? Stock? Or when you installed FreeGee did you load TWRP or CWM?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Madolinn:
My recovery is stock. When I installed Freegee it never even loaded for me to be able to install TWRP, it just simply crashed right away..
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
OK. So have you removed any apps when you were rooted?

Also, theres a link to Framaroot in that guide. Try it if you haven't already. Right now we just have to get root so you can install FreeGee and a recovery so you can just flash a stock Rom.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Madolinn:
No I did not remove any of the bloatware or system apps when I was rooted.

Framaroot worked, installed Superuser and now my Root Browser functions so yes, it is now recognizing that it's rooted.

I'll now reinstall FreeGee and see what comes of it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
If your data connection is iffy, use WiFi to install FreeGee. It really does help.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Madolinn:
FreeGee has been installed and has booted up properly.

Installed TWRP.

Rebooted.

Checked for Software update, says my system is up to date. Software information still says I'm at ZVB, however.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
Save yourself the hassle. Flash this in TWRP. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2536636 Its stock zvc.

You probably don't need the radio zip. But it won't hurt either. Go to the teeny bin thread in Development and get the zvc radio. It seems to be the same as zvb though.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Madolinn:
Alright, downloading both right now. Thank you very much. :good:

You will have to have a custom tile installed through xposed but that does not run on art. Your best bet is to get a custom ROM with the LTE tile and switch your network that way.

I never owned an apple device. How is it different in usability compared to Android? To help him make decision for him personally.
[General Topics] DavidRedstone:
I've owned both iPhones and Android phones, and setup both for my customers.

Both Android and Apple devices can fulfil mostly the same functions, but they look different to each other, and you click in different places to get things done. There are different apps for the same functions. Both app stores have hundreds of thousands of apps.

Apple iOS

Apple is more expensive. Apple locks you into their ecosystem, and gives you little choice. You can only use their devices, and they don't let you replace their stock apps with alternatives. Apple devices do not have expandable memory or removable batteries.You get what you are given, basically.

Google Android

Android lets you choose the device you want, from many manufacturers, and you can replace any part of the system, including the whole system itself. Most Android phones let you remove the battery and have memory card expansion. There are many more Android devices being sold every day, than Apple devices,

Conclusion

If you want choice, or like playing with custom roms, go for Android. Apple devices work, too, so if you like them, go for it. Just be aware you are getting locked into a small, expensive ecosystem.

Extra note

iCloud can be really flaky. Fortunately you can use Google to sync contacts, calendars, and emails on both Android and iOS. Dropbox is still the best photo and video auto-upload app.

Is your bootloader unlocked if it is you have to lock it to apply ota the ota will download fine but you can't apply it unless you are on locked bootloader and if you are on locked bootloader you have to download root keeper app backup root reflash the .532 ftf or .290 whatever version you like the ota will apply just fine the download the app again and restore root.................:rolleyes:

[Moto G Android Development] Tomsgt:
I put together a couple nice little Batch files for you guys. Tool is for windows only

This is what they can do for you

1. Relock a unlocked bootloader and complete wipe device back to android 4.4.2 along with fixing the Unlock logo

2. Full Restore to android version 4.4.2 including a full wipe

3. Full Restore to android version 4.4.2 NO WIPE

4. Flash Moto Logo to replace the unlock bootloader Logo

To run any of these scripts you must be in bootloader mode / Fastboot Mode

Power off Device

hold both volume up and down then power

hold all buttons for 3 seconds then release

this will put you in bootloader mode

Now run the script you want to run

check out this video of me using the scripts

Yes you can relock and unlock the bootloader with the same code you unlock it with the first time.

when you got the device the bootloader is status code 0 locked once unlocked it is status code 3 and relocked is status code 2.

now you can bounce between status code 2 and 3 locked and unlocked with the bootloader unlock code.

So if I wanted to completely restore my phone back to when I first got it out of the box, does this tool do that?

Because for some reason, all of my ringtones that came with the phone just disappeared and I wanted to get them back.

that bat file will restore and delete everything from the phone but you will keep the unlocked bootloader if you unlocked it
