I don't think so, but here's what took place for me.

1. On 4.4.2 (VZW, Dev ed, unlocked, rooted, TWRP) with entitlement mod.

2. 4.4.4 was pestering to update, and i kept ignoring it since I'm definitely not a master of phones and it took me many hours to learn to root, file explorer and such, and wasn't looking forward to figuring this out again.

3. After a week or so, my phone was in TWRP when i woke up...somehow 4.4.4 tried to apply and was in the boot loop. After about 5 boot loops it said update failed and I went on my merry way using 4.4.2.

4. Had some time, decided to tackle this updating and wifi tether issue. 4.4.4 img was on EDIT droid developers motorola firmware page so i downloaded that and flashed all the files one by one through fastboot on my mac.

5. Once in 4.4.4, installed twrp, rooted, tried to apply entitlement mod, did not work so i changed files back to originals and wifi tether gave me the usual you do not have permission to use this feature error.

6. Tried Xposed, with wifi tether, same problem as listed above a few posts.

7. Since everyone has listed using the OTA, I just loaded into recovery, and used and fast boot to apply 4.4.2 recovery and image.

8. Phone took everything fine, booted, said 4.4.2 in settings, prompted update needed to be applied. Took the 4.4.4 update, then twrp, root, Xposed, everything worked.

I'm fairly certain, like 99%, i reapplied 4.4.2 from 4.4.4. If there is any step on here, files name, etc I can explain further to help, I'll gladly do it. I made an account just to explain what I went through since these boards have helped me many times along the years, and this seemed unique.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] KidJoe:
It is possible, using mfastboot, but risky since GPT.BIN in 4.4.4 has changed and will not downgrade. This happens, you can manually flash other parts. That is where it becomes risky.. Somethings may not work properly on the phone, and in some cases you can brick right there (many have posted they have bricked doing this).

RSDlite will usually flash GPT.BIN as one of the first things (due to the order in the XML) and will stop there because it fails.

The same is an issue between certain versions when MOTOBOOT.IMG changes too.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] neffie1:
This is it! Those two files failed when flashing line by line but I had read somewhere only the recovery and system image mattered, so I didn't think twice about it. I immediately took 4.4.4 OTA after 4.4.2 downgrade and everything seems fine. I was going to go through these steps again and add a video, but i think i'll pass after the brick warning.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] KidJoe:
yes, please don't make a video, or advise to do this. TOO MANY BRICKS have happened from people doing it!!!

Got it working, thanks! VZW DE 4.4.4

On my first attempt to copy the framework-res.apk to system, I got an instant reboot and had to restore my original framework-res.apk via the TWRP file manager. On attempt #2, I copied the file from the OP to system, changed permissions, then copied it to the framework folder, where it also immediately rebooted my phone. During the boot animation, the screen went blank and I thought I was screwed again, but shortly after I was on my homescreen, and tethering worked quickly without a check with Verizon.

I have tethering on my account, but it is SO NICE to not have to wait while it checks with Verizon to see if you have a subscription. Furthermore, I am frequently in weak signal areas and border on "1X" and no data at all. In those cases, the subscription check nearly always fails and prevents tethering, and this solved that problem for me. My signal may be very weak, but my phone is now willing and able to share it. Thank you!

I'm really curious why you didn't just use the bypass?

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/themes-apps/app-hotspot-entitlement-bypass-v1-1-5-9-t2705152

By editing your framework-res , you will be unable to accept any future OTA without reverting back....

The linked apk above uses the setprop command and makes no permanent changes...
[Moto X Themes and Apps] big_boludo:
Didn't know about it! I'll put my original framework-res file back and try this! Thank you!

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TouchyTouchy:
(Posted this over at Rootz Wiki and WebOSNation and it was suggested I post here for better response)

I am trying to use Knoppix to install Evervolv 4.3 onto my TP. Each time I open the terminal where the Palm,Inc files are, then enter the commands for installing, I get this:

knoppix@Microknoppix:/media/sda1/SAVE/pALM, iNC$ novacom.exe boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller5E

bash: novacom.exe: command not found

trying this, produces:

knoppix@Microknoppix:/media/sda1/SAVE/pALM, iNC$ ./novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller5E

bash: ./novacom: No such file or directory

and this gets this:

knoppix@Microknoppix:/media/sda1/SAVE/pALM, iNC$ novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller5E

failed to connect to server

I've re-installed novacom several times, updated the drivers and found the "palm-novacom_1.0.76_i386.deb" install in SynapticPM and that is what resides in my pALM, iNC directory.

There is no .exe or boot folder that I can see.

Novacom never did create a Palm, Inc folder at any time. I had to make a new folder with the name "pALM iNC" to double check this.

I also tried the suggestion over at WebOsNation here:

[Link removed due to newby status-check]

Here's the upshot of it, though-

knoppix@Microknoppix:/media/sda1/SAVE/pALM, iNC$ novacomd & novacom boot mem:// <ACMEInstaller5E

[1] 30138

bash: novacomd: command not found

failed to connect to server

[1]+ Exit 127 novacomd

Can I do something different to get this to work? I am totally new to TP, Android and Linux.

Thanks heaps.

Thanks, but, "File not found" on all those links for DL's.

I am wondering too why I can't get WebOSQuickInstall to work properly and thinking this may be a common factor here.

Whenever I go to install it, I get the "installing novacom drivers", then success, then cannot install as "no device connected" or something to that effect.

Could those all be related?

yedall vague

After double checking my Java install from suggestions over at Rootz Wiki, I discover I had not installed Java. I was using Iced Tea-Web Plugin for Java applets and thought I was good to go.

Plus, I thought I had installed it because a Java pkg kept showing up in Synaptic PM, but I went to Oracle and it couldn't be found.

So, after hunting for some info I found this:

://andrewelkins....n-oracle-sucks/

and following this I ended up with-

Cannot write to `jdk-7u51-linux-i586.tar.gz' (No space left on device).

download failed

Oracle JDK 7 is NOT installed.

I am running Knoppix on a 8Gb flash drive, and I will have to extend the data img before I try again.

Going on holiday for awhile, so won't be able to post back with results until I get back.

Thanks for the input guys.

Hope this helps somebody in the same predicament.

Just bought a note 10.1 n8000 and a otterbox defender for it off amazon. How do you like your otterbox box for the note? I have the defender for my s4 and love it.

2nd question is the note 10.1 a decent tablet for movies and gameloft games? Still have a Lil time to cancel if someone tells me its a horrible buy.

I bought the 7inch galaxy tab3 which was really cheap and I hate it. The screen is crappy and it only has 1gb ram and dual core not quad. I plan on Odining stock image and returning it tomorrow

Otterbox

I have the note 10.1 with the Otterbox case. This has been the only rigged case that I have found. I am backpacking through India and this case has been great. The one down side is the built in screen protector. I have a Zagg screen protector on my tablet and the combination of both didn't work well. The screen protector on the otterbox seemed to have issues not being able to be flush against the screen. I decided to remove the piece of clear plastic from the rest of the otterbox case and it works and protects great. I highly recommend the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] JoeLansing:
I bought her an unlocked i9205 back in December. It was rooted already. I put SU and TWRP on it and did a backup of it. Well she kinda trashed it so I did a TWRP restore which ended with an error. Now it just boots to the Samsung logo. Do I need to load a new ROM now? I'm hoping I can find something to just put on an SD card and flash with TWRP. Any help is good. I have a PC setup with drivers for it. PDANET, ADB, etc.. No Odin though.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bnb25:
if you can get into recovery. try installing a new ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] JoeLansing:
I can get into TWRP recovery. Will any ROM work with that? Can you recommend any ROMs? The stock one was fine but it was so full of Samsung bloat it really didn't have much available RAM left of it's 1.5GB after boot. I guess I don't care as long as it's stable and works so I can get out of the doghouse...LOL

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] JoeLansing:
Thanks guys. I'm trying a MegaFireMj2V3 just cuz I already downloaded it. Stock kinda sucked. I'd look and she'd have 3 apps running with low memory warnings. It was rooted and I'd uninstall a lot of bloat, but somehow it would auto update all the bloat right back within minutes. I'll go back to stock if needed but I want to try something de-crapped first.

- Joe
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] JoeLansing:
It's worse now.

Ok. Flashing MegaFireMj2V3 was a fail. It seems as if the system partition always fails. So I got Odin and a stock ROM. That failed also, and now I just have a couple of little red lines telling me to use Kies Recovery or something. And I can't get Kies to connect to it. My PC sees it. Samsung USB drivers install. Kies sees it plugged in but just lays there saying CONNECTING. I paid like $400 for this turkey for my wife for Christmas and now she's yelling at me that I blew it up..:( I guess I can keep trying Kies but it's looking fail so far. This really stinks. I bought it on Amazon. It's supposed to have a 2 year warranty. It's Unlocked International Version with Warranty. But I don't know what country?

I don't have any recovery anymore. It boots to a small failed update message. It's toast unless I can get Kies to work somehow.

- Joe
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jimmbomb:
there is a way to use Kies to get Stock on there.. It involves typing in the words of your model or something like that./

maybe someone here can remember better than I.

On the Note, Ive seen it alot. there is a certian way that you have to type in the make and model and it will stock-ize you.

That is "IF" you can get it to connect to Kies..

I'll suggest you use a different USB cable..

Some will and some wont connect.....

good luck
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hokuto34:
Why don't you to flash a stock rom with Odin, I think you have dounload mode (as you don't have custom recovery it is the only way) ?

Search YOUR rom on sammobile, or the same level (not possible to doungrade you shall have more problem ! )
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] ianneo:
Lol this also happened to me but to recover, since you now only have download mode, connect it to Odin on your PC and find a brand new firmware. Try the latest versions because that's your best shot of recovering it. It doesn't matter what region you pick as long as that the model number is the same. Do note however that if you fail the flash KNOX will trip up and you will void the warranty. If it doesn't fail, it should boot up to the Samsung logo. If it still bootloops, go into recovery (since it should be there now), and wipe everything. Then your phone should boot up nicely.

Note: New firmware contains KNOX so rooting and installing custom recovery is now dangerous.

Hey, I don't know where to start from...

I just bought a Sprint HTC One Max yesterday and I was happy to S-Off and Root it, so I followed this guide... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2550559

I followed every instruction all the way down the Step 4c. At Step 4d I got confused and skipped to 4f which is "Issue the command fastboot flash boot boot.img" after that my phone went from the HTC logo starting over and over to it being stuck in bootloader mode. Now I can't do a Factory Reset or a Recovery.

I've tried to go back to stock and flash this RUU file: 0P3PIMG_T6_WHL_JB43_SENSE55_SPCS_Sprint_WWE_1.14.651.1_Radio_1.30.50.1022_NV_SPCS_4.50_003_release_338466_signed_2.zip

During the flashing process, I got two errors

FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail)

FAILED (remote: 12 singature verify fail)

I am new to this and something told me to just wait but I didn't listen. If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it, I just got this phone yesterday and I didn't even get to use any features, because I was too eager to S-OFF and Root. All I want to do is go back to stock, play games on my new phone and never attempt to root or S-Off again. =,(

I believe if you search around someone posted all the phones image files ex: system.img recovery.img boot.img etc etc.. Grab those and fastboot them back to the phone. It already sounds like your terminal talks to your boot loader via fastboot so it would be "fastboot devices" make sure you get your devices serial number then "fastboot flash boot boot.img" fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" "fastboot flash system system.img" etc etc hit me up if you need some help

[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
I put together a list of things that helped me get 7 hours SoT on a charge (Wifi). Edit: 6.75hrs SoT. Edit2: 7.75hrs SoT No root access or modifications needed for these.

This is my first Android device and I wanted to share some of the things I've learned mostly reading these forums. It also annoys me to read users complain about their battery life but are unwilling to do anything about it. I hope this will help people to realize the full potential of their phone.

Llama, Tasker, etc: Automate everything you can to save battery. It can be more efficient to run a line of code then to tap the screen.

Force stop all the programs you don't really need running in the background in Settings > Apps > Running. Basically act like your own Greenify. Or use Greenify.

Wakelocks: Track the "Awake Time" of suspicious applications and services and either reboot or force stop them if necessary.

Disable Google applications you don't need. Myself I disabled Chrome, Gmail and News & Weather.

Disable: touch and typing vibration. I have type sounds On and touch sounds Off because those really add up on speaker.

Disable: NFC, Bluetooth, Wireless printing etc. Automate to run only when needed for no lost functionality.

Wifi: Automate to turn on only for Wifi zones of your choice. No lost functionality. Wifi always scanning: Off.

Notifications: Apps and games can send you unnecessary notifications. Disable them. Enable only what you need.

Hotword detection: off. This specifically drains SoT and saves only a single screen tap.

Widgets: These drain battery without ever showing up individually on the stats page. Silent killers.

Lux: Another silent killer even when set "On Wake only" and "Slow". Just by disabling Lux lite and a once-daily updated Feedly widget I noticed significant SoT gains. Using Llama to automate brightness is more efficient.

Speaker vs Headphones: The speaker seems to use more battery.

Two apps that can help you monitor your battery and phone with no root requirement:

Play Store Link.

Current Widget - Set to update manually on your home screen for minimal power draw. Check your charge and discharge rates along with battery temperature.

Play Store Link.

S Tools+ - This just popped up in the XDA apps section the other day. Detailed information on CPU states, Deep Sleep time and ALL your sensors, nicely graphed and very polished including transparent nav bar. Other than real time graphing of sensors this shouldn't be much of a drain.
[Nexus 5 General] monkeypaws:
Speaker vs headphones....what?? Care to explain how? I'm saying the difference is negligible.
[Nexus 5 General] Ober/Hydra:
Yeah, you really don't need to do all that to save battery. Just don't turn on data until you need it and you'll get a week of standby on a single charge with this phone, and a full day of usage (or more depending on how much you use it).
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
I seem to drain more battery listening to music with speakers over headphones but its hard to tell and probably negligible, as you say.

Not sure if serious or not. That functionality is enabled on the phone by default and you'll see many people struggling to get over 3 hours SoT like that.

There are even reviews which seem to think topping 3 hours SoT is some kind of miracle. Most will answer that by saying: "you need root and flash x ROM with y kernel".
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Oops
[Nexus 5 General] outofthisworld:
I suspected Lux was using battery but the actual app use is showing up as very very minimal. Less than 1%.

Its far too convenient! Does llama have the same exact function built in?
[Nexus 5 General] FuMMoD:
Don't forget to disable location reporting in Google Apps.
