Coming from a Nexus, the procedure is a little different.

What you do is hook it up to the PC and run a script to gain ROOT. Then you download FreeGee and flash a Custom recovery. Pretty straight up. Doesn't require factory resets at all.

And I DO highly recommend using stock for about a week before you flash AOSP roms. The Stock rom is very nice, feature rich, and polished.

I just want to make sure phones I'm looking at are able to be messed with, so I'm not stuck with something stuffed to the brim with bloat forever. I usually stick with stock for a while before switching to custom ROMs.

One last question (I may be lying about that), does the G2 handle 4-6ft drops well? I read one article that said it's about on par with iPhones there.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DillonL25:
I'm not too sure how to start this so I'll just start in the beginning.

My phone is rooted and it has been for a while and i wanted to downgrade my play store to 3.7 but my phone came from the factory with the newest play store pre-installed so i couldn't just go into manage apps and uninstall updates because my phone never had 3.7 on it so i uninstalled the play store using my root uninstaller (like an idiot) and went through a time period of about a week where I couldn't even get the play store installed. last night i finally got it installed to the point where I could actually see the app in my apps list. So after getting the play store re-installed I thought i was finally done with this problem. However when i touch the app icon to open the play store the screen just hangs stays black for a few seconds before telling me that the google play store stopped working. so im stuck with the app closing pretty much right after i open it. If ANYONE has any idea what to do i would be extremely grateful.

How can I flash a stock ROM considering I cannot boot the phone up normally in order to put the file onto the phone? The Moto G has no external storage so I can't use an SD card.

I get get into the bootloader, and I have managed to install Team Win Recovery Project but don't know what else to do!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamJAX:
Disclaimer : I have not used TWRP recovery on Moto G. So may have errors in my post :)

You have 2 options.

1. On some versions of TWRP, under advanced you have an option to mount USB. You can the access the phone as a drive from a computer.

2. Use ADB to push file to the phone. Install drivers and ADB works in recovery,

Thanks I actually found out about the adb push thing just after making this thread.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokkami:
Once when i wanted to flash Stock 4.3 i got also stuck in bootanimation.

To restore Stock i had to execute flashall.bat /eu. The option /eu erases userdata. Once i did this my phone booted without any issues.

So what you can try is to erase userdata via fastboot or cwm
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euskadi:
onyinly made

I tried one final Hail Mary before going to be last night, erased all data and installed Cyanogenmod again and I'm pleased to say it worked!

Only downside is I've lost all my apps & data. Now I did back these up using Titanium, and stored them on Google Drive, however the reason I got into this mess in the first place is because I manually flashed the 4.4.2 update, which worked ok, but then when I restored my apps/data with Titanium my soft buttons (back button etc) disappeared!

I guess I'll just play it safe and not try to restore the back up this time.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the sarge:
M8 u couldn't give a walk through guide how u pushed ROM to phone pls
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euskadi:
Not exactly an expert myself but look for a download of 'Fastboot', it should have a program called adb.exe or abd-windows.exe. Turn on your phone while holding the Volume Down button and it should start into the bootloader screen, plug in the USB and it will say it's connected.

Then you go to the folder (on your PC) that has adb.exe - put your ROM .zip into this folder - then hold shift and right-click somewhere inside the folder (not on a file) and choose "Open command window here".

Then you just type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard" where ROM.zip is the name of the zip file. note: you might have to type adb-windows instead, depends what .exe you have

Then just wait until it finishes transferring. Will take 30 secs or so for a 200mb ROM.

I'm sure if you google "adb push" you'll get some better instructions, with downloads etc
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc_miranda:
While reverting to stock it's important to use mfastboot(moto-fastboot) instead of normal fastboot. Download mfastboot.exe and place in adb folder, and replace 'fastboot' commands with 'mfastboot'

After I tried upgrading my ROM to 2.17 my screen is stuck with the message 'Data Crashes. Please contact your service center.' I then was able to downgrade my ROM and tried to unlock my phone but it is still stuck with that message on top of a white screen. I can open programs by briefly closing the screen and clicking on a file or program before the screen pops up again. If I remove my SIM card the screen message disappears. What can I do to make the screen disappear? Please help!

Just curious, did you happen to search the forum for the phrase "data crashes"?

So as not to end up a totally unuseful reply, I'll tell that it's not the end of the world and you can recover from it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] benwatsa:
There is no real answer. I saw this answer:

I had this issue when I flashed my MDA (Tmo US) with the custom ROM 2.17. To solve it I did the folowing:

I took out the SIM card, reflashed it with the old ROM and CID/SIM unlocked it with lokiwiz. Then I re-inserted the SIM card to see if it worked and it did, no more data crashes error for me. After this I flashed the custom ROM again and it worked, no problems since. Hope that helps.

This did not work for me and others. I am getting a replacement phone. I won't be installing an unofficial ROM upgrade again!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsonlyedy:
Hello XDA members,

I hope that I am posting in the right section.. let's get to the deal...

I am an owner of a almost 2 day old Straight Talk S3 Model: SCH-S968C

The Issue that I am having with it is mainly after I receive the Picture Message I am not able to download it to my phone?

I was wondering if I was to go down the route of rooting my device that it would take care of this issue? It is still under warranty at walmart

but the two stores I've went to ran out of the phone.

Everything works on the phone besides the Pic Message.. which makes me believe that my issue is due to software problems

So if I root the phone from stock to a custom rom will it take care of my issue of not being able to download the pictures to my phone?

If this works where could I find the stock rom for this phone and which rom could I use in it's replace.

If this rom switching route doesn't work I guess I must wait for them to exchange phones in a few days..

Hoping you folks could guide me into a direction of how I can solve this troubling issue many thanks from Palm Desert, CA

I just got an htc one and I use my headphones while riding my motorcycle to work. I've only used it twice and both times my music skips around erratically. I'm using google play with music saved on my device. I came from a galaxy s3 that didn't have this problem. Does anybody have any experience with this and a solution? The weird thing is, I can't recreate this when sitting on my couch.

Edit: using stock headphones. I tried using my old s3 headphones and they wouldn't work at all.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] indoz:
Sometime when you slide your headphones into the jack you can inadvertently scratch the protective paint inside the jack. This metal on metal connection causes your phone to react erratically. Especially with the vibration of your motorcycle. There's a couple ways to remedy this. One is to place a small piece of electrical tape to cover up the exposed metal inside your phone jack. I don't really like this method becaue it could dislodge and fall into the headphone jack and prubably cause more issues. I'd suggest you go to the play store and download a program called "WizDroid (No Headset Control!)." It will block all signals from your headset so that your phone will act normally again. Only downside is hat you can't your headset controls to pause/skip tracks or answer calls.

thank you for you reply and i will try that. i have an update. only happens when im on my motorcycle. i can sit on the couch and move the jack around in the hole (phrasing) and there is no skipping or any problems. i can get on my bike and go the mile on the street to the freeway with no problems. but once i get up to speed (around 50mph) it starts to skip around. i am going to try using the headphones in a car to see if it happens when i get up to speed then. if so it might be a location thing. but i really doubt that.

you could try signing all apks (including framework-res.apk) with test signature and then zipaligning. be sure to exclude any market updatable apps in the test signing process though as this will cause failure to upgrade those apps through play store. dsixda's kitchen makes batch signing and zipaligning very easy.

This doesn't make any sense since the jar-files aren't signed.

I appreciate your help, but can't I say that this was no solution? :)
[Moto X Q&A] Q9Nap:
sorry i woke up on the wrong side of the bed that day apparently, it happens. anyway, i think i've gained some insight on the issue. all apks and jars have classes.dex files on 4.4+, even odexed ones. this means there is no need to manually deodex, just delete all the odex files.

the existing classes.dex files are different from the classes.dex files generated from the odex files. i think they contain a signature of some kind, because when i tried to install a manually deodexed build, i got force closes on many of the moto apps. once i discovered that all apks and jars have classes.dex files, i removed all odex files and everything was fine.

so try editing the existing classes.dex files rather than the ones generated from the odex files.

hope this helps...

btw, i think this dual classes.dex/odex setup has something to do with ART, so removing odex files will probably break ART capability. not sure yet, just throwing that out there.
[Moto X Q&A] shaftenberg:
Whoa, this was very helpful indeed, that explains almost everything...

Just a side note: I didn't know that, so I deodexed my system the standard way and I don't have any FCs.

Modding framework-res.apk worked though, even with creating new arsc and dex.

[edit] sure it works. framework is already deodexed in stock systems.
