Help

I flashed the moto x firmware and when the device boots the screen is yellow and green and the setup wizard is all distorted and the wrong size . I cant seem to get into fastboot mode to fix it. Does anybody no how to help with this? I feel like I just borked my phone.
[Droid Ultra General] jakereeves31:
So I'm on the Moto X firmware now and as soon as it all booted up its installing some update. Do I take it?
[Droid Ultra General] Jaocagomez:
NO dont take it, it will probably brick your device, taking ota's its not recommended.
[Droid Ultra General] jakereeves31:
Haha. Okay! Time to play with this then;)
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
You shouldn't be getting any OTA. Are you sure it isn't a app update?

Droid Maxx "Developer Edition"
[Droid Ultra General] jakereeves31:
Yup, I'm sure. It was an OTA. I'm on a custom ROM right now so it doesn't matter anymore:P I just no likey the navigation bar-_-
[Droid Ultra General] Topsnake:
Where you running my port when you got the OTA?

[Droid Ultra General] kanagadeepan:
^^^^^

I don't think it will work as there is mild difference in hardware (LTE/HSPA radios). Your best bet is Verizon Moto X ROMs... The only issue will be onscreen + capacitive nav keys, but there is a fix for that too...
[Droid Ultra General] Jay_P11:
Ok, so this will not work for a Verizon Droid Ultra on 4.4? A guy way up this thread got it to work on his regular Verizon Maxx, so I don't see why this won't work? The only thing I'm afraid of is bricking, but all I plan on doing is getting TWRP and rooting the stock ROM so there isn't too much of a danger.

You would need to have an unlocked bootloader. Which, since it seems you have an Ultra, you would have had to have done via the Chinese bootloader unlock method.

Alright, thanks.

Yes I speak spanish.

My phone was build 12/12/2014, no luck hehe I hope someone does unlock our phones for less, Im not thinking about paying that amount for unlocking my boot, so far droid ultra is working great as is.

I like modding, I have an bravo, atrix2, droid razr, rarz m and ultra, but ultra is the only one which is very difficult to root.

Tu tienes el tuyo rooteado? I need some help.
[Droid Ultra General] kude87:
I just rooted, and at the time it was difficult. It really was just drivers and adb being a pain, because the actual process isn't bad at all. You'll want root with write protection (wp, as it will be referred to as) turned off. If you want, you can slap safestrap on. I didn't, as I'm OK with xposed and gravity box. Head over to the 4.4 root/bounty thread in general, and check out Timmy's post on page 32. Everything you want is right there. (assuming you aren't already on 4.4.4)

MOTO X firmware

my verizon droid ultra is stock android 4.4.4 and it's bootloader is not unlock, so my question is can I still flash the T-mobile Moto X firmware on my verizon droid ultra? I just want to ask to make sure before I attempt anything. I'm pretty familiar with flashing roms so this shouldn't be too difficult. The whole idea of flashing a Moto X firmware onto the droid ultra just seem so pretty interesting.

How do i make a backup efs file for a gtab sch-i800 (cdma)? I have the app efs pro 1.9 and 2.0, but no success. The app does not have the tab bin file. (?). Any other ways to make a backup efs file?

Thanks.

W.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
you should be able to copy the /efs folder manually.

For P1000, when we flash CM rom, it backs up efs to sdcard ( /backups I think).

The oldest copy usually the most reliable (if before flashing CM you have a good IMEI)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deep Nox:
Hi priyana,

Seen alot of your posts! You give really good advice. Especially--this is the original gtab forum!:D

Anyway, how would i make a backup manually? I will look around in the other tab that's got the CM11 p1c rom to see if i can find it. I just hope terenceng will be able to fix the data bug in the cm build. I woyld love to activate the tab to 3g. I have 3 of these 'ole tabs around, so i don't have a problem finding the file. I just want to transfer it.

W.

Update-- i copied the efs file. Now, how do i install it? Just copy it again or?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Yes. Just keep in safe place. Note down the permissions too.

Although honestly I never restore efs before.

Usually the best way to restore it is by restocking to GB. That was the case of p1. I think it should be the same as p1c.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deep Nox:
What are the permissions i need to note? Is it the rx dx x? Anyway, i got the file saved to the sd card on my tab with galaxy cubed. Now i want to move the sd card to my other tab with kitkat to copy the info there. Then all i have to do is update the imeid (meid for us cdma people) to the correct number. Finally, wait for terenceng to fix the data on his build. Hopefully i will have a FULLY working custom rom.:D
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Permission of each individual folders and files.

Not sure if you can move between tabs.

It is an "encrypted file system" and I am sure it is encrypted from the hardware info.

That is why flashing a stock ROM can regenerate the content.

But anyway, hope it works.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deep Nox:
When i go to the efs file using root browser, the file does not show any files or folders inside. So, how would i get the permissions?

Or, what would i need to return the tab to stock? I have a stock gb rom with root, heimdall and odin ready to go. Would i need a pit file of some sort? And, what about the different memory systems rfs,ext4, and mtd? Any problems here?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Can't say about p1c. Wonder if anyone can chime in.

Look at my /efs number of files

1|u0_a29@GT-P1000:/ $ su

root@GT-P1000:/ # find /efs

find /efs

/efs

/efs/nv_data.bin

Restock with pit needed to get back to bml+rfs (partition and filesystem)

When you flash cm ROM from custom recovery, it will check and convert to mtd partition and ext4 fs

So you don't worry about conversion.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deep Nox:
When i open the efs file using root explorer, there is nothing there. ? . Any way, i've been reading up on restocking my 'ole gtab. I think i'm about to have a flashback!:p

I just flashed terenceng newest update. Cameras work, but video fc's evertime. App2 sd is now good. The last major fix is data. This could be some time in comming due to terenceng computer hard disk crash. So, i've got time.

Hi Guys,

I have been having an issue with my S4 mini where if Bluetooth is turned on it will not see any Wifi networks, however if I turn off bluetooth it connects and works right away.

I have tried going back to stock and different kernels but I am getting nothing, and its sending me spare, since I sued bluetooth a lot.

Anyone else experienced it?

I'm running Proxyuser's Slimrom (JB) and F4ktion 1.3.0 Kernal has no such problem. Maybe try this combination? But I remember no such problem even before I did anything to the phone (ROOT/ROM/Kernel, etc), only the battery drain issue at standby.

[Moto X General] JoeSchmoe007:
[Tried posting this in Q&A forum but received no answers]

I am coming from Droid Incredible running CM 7.1 on PagePlus for 3 years (Verizon MVNO for those who don't know). So I am familiar with Android ecosystem and rooting.

I am looking to buy Moto X to be used in USA on H2O (AT&T MVNO) because on Pageplus the speed are limited to 3G and most new phones cannot be activated without flashing which I don't want to do.

1) Is there any reason NOT to buy Developer Edition (GSM Networks)? Current price is now the same as AT&T branded version and I am OK with just one color being available.

2) Am I correct in understanding that this version of the phone supports all LTE and HSPA frequencies both for AT&T and TMobile? Quote from the spec:

Networks

GSM/GPRS/EDGE - UMTS/HSPA + up to 42 Mbps - 4G LTE

2G/2.5G GSM/GPRS/EDGE bands

850/900/1800/1900 MHz

3G UMTS bands

850/900/ AWS/1900/2100 MHz with HSPA+ up to 42 Mbps (B5/B8/B4/B2/B1)

4G LTE bands

700/AWS/1900MHz (B17/B4/B2)

3) Are there any known issues with Moto X that has not been fixed with software updates yet? I am also considering Moto G which would be good enough for me but it has battery issues ("instant" drops from full charge to 1%) that are now investigated by Motorola but no solution yet. For Moto X so far I only found that some people have small cracks on their cases that are fixed by mailing it for warranty work.
[Moto X General] Konno_Yuuki:
1) I too considered the GSM Dev Edition of the Moto X but decided not to get it based on looks. I don't like white phones. The Dev Moto X has a woven white back and I didn't like that. I also have not use for 32GB of internal storage. I didn't even fill the 8GB that was on my RAZR M (previous phone). This was my reasoning, so I went with the MotoMaker GSM unlocked retail Moto X (also referred to as the T-Mobile version).

2)I don't know about the Dev version but if I had to guess I'd say it's like my phone, so yes. I have an AT&T SIM in my Moto X and I get 4G LTE when I'm in town.

3)The only issues I know of are the cracks as you mentioned and the some of the wood backs having a poor finish applied. There may be another that I've yet to read here but I've not had any problem with the phone.
[Moto X General] JoeSchmoe007:
I don't like white phones either but I want to be able to root. Is what you went with (MotoMaker GSM unlocked retail Moto X) essentially the same as Dev Edition other than color? Or is it only carrier unlocked but not bootloader unlocked?
[Moto X General] Konno_Yuuki:
The main differences between the two would be the retail version can be customs made in MotoMaker and when the bootloader is unlocked you loose your warranty. The Dev version only comes in one style but your warranty will still be intact after unlocking the bootloader.
[Moto X General] JoeSchmoe007:
Thank you for responding. So the warranty will be void completely, even for the hardware issues completely unrelated to unlocking bootloader?

Can bootloader on retail version be re-locked to send it in for warranty?

I think I read that each time OS updates are released for Moto X new exploit may need to be found to root/unlock bootloader. Did I get it right or am I confusing something?

Can root be achieved without unlocking bootloader? If I understand correctly unlocking bootloader is really only needed if one wants to try different ROM-s and root can sometimes be achieved without unlocking bootloader. But Moto X is almost stock Android, so I see no point in trying other ROM-s but I do want to have root.
[Moto X General] Konno_Yuuki:
Yes, your warranty will be completly void if you unlock the bootloader on any Moto X except the Dev version.

You can relock (and reunlock) the bootloader but because you have to get the unlock key from Motorola, they will know even if you relock it. I believe there is also a line in fastboot that will will indicate if the warrently is void (as a result of the first unlock).

This is true. With any update there is the potential for an exploit being 'removed'. The same is true for most bootloaders but not necessarily for this phone. Even if the bootloader is updated, the unlock code for your phone will still work.

Yes, root can be achieved without unlocking the bootloader but it's a complex method for this phone. It's much easier to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery, and flash the SU binary. This is also the preferred method if it's avalible for your Moto X.

Unlocking your bootloader let's you do a few things. The most common it to flash another recovery image and thus a new ROM. You can also flash kernals, binaries, apps, and a few other things with the bootloader unlocked.
[Moto X General] JoeSchmoe007:
So what specific exploit can be removed? For rooting? Or for unlocking bootloader? The way I understand one can always unlock bootloader using code from Motorola no matter if your phone is retail or Dev. Edition, however then root may or may not work? But this contradicts with what you said about if bootloader is unlocked then you can flash custom recovery and SU, so you can still always achieve root. Is there an FAQ or thread on this forum where this is described in details?
[Moto X General] Konno_Yuuki:
Any exploit can be removed, so long as they're found and will not inhibit the use of the device. I guess I should clarify a bit. Your bootloader and root access have different ways to get them. The bootloader basically protects the partitions of the phone. The only way to unlock the bootloader of the Moto X is to go to Motorola and get the unique unlock code for your Moto X. The Verizon retail and AT&T retail versions are the only two models of my knowledge that can't be unlocked by Motorola and no exploit has been found for them. How root is achieved by having an unlocked bootloader is as followed; The bootloader is unlocked giving the user access to the partitions of the phone > a custom recovery is flashed > using the new recovery SU binary is added (flashed) to the dormant Android OS. Without an unlocked bootloader, this method is impossible as you can't complete the first step. This is when an exploit in the Android OS is needed. The current SlapMyMoto exploit takes advantage that Motorola lets Moto X users downgrade. Once on a lower version of Android, we can root that and basically 'tunnel' up a path to give ourselves root in they newer version of Android. The unlocked bootloader method is preferred because it's easier and will almost always work (unless Android is given a huge remake). While in recovery, the Android OS is not loaded and thus can't protect itself. This makes adding stuff to it much simpler. When the Android OS is booted though, there are security measures in place that we unrooted can't get past without an exploit.

This thread has a lot of good info from rooting on both locked and unlocked bootloaders, downgrading, and much more.
[Moto X General] Mr. Orange 645:
Honestly I think you answered your own question. If rooting is your number one priority and you don't mind the white back (which I like actually), then I think the Developer Edition is a no brainer for you.

If you want a custom phone and rooting isn't that important, or you don't care about the warranty, then I'd say get the MotoMaker version.

As far as bugs, the only bug I know of is an exchange bug (which I don't use exchange so I don't even know what the bug is/was), but it was fixed in 4.4.2.
[Moto X General] hovax615@hotmail.com:
You can root the carrier version ie motomaker. That's all you really need is root along with greenify, xposed, gravity box, and viper4android.

MOTO X Slapped
[Moto X General] Mr. Orange 645:
Currently there is NO root method for 4.4.2 without unlocking the bootloader.
