It's too late for me right now, but if you can send me all the numbers by PM, I'll try to construct some kind of partition for u.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
Fastboot mode will mount a USB otg, but it has to be powered externally. There is an old htc one thread regarding using this method to do an hboot downgrade to 1.44 in order to s-off with revone.

The s-off didn't work, but they did get the otg drive working and detailed how to make up the cable.

It's a long shot, just depends on how badly he wants to get the phone working.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
Yeah, I remember the Y-cable thingy.

I'm going to try and construct some kind of generic partition tomorrow and we'll see how that goes.

And I still haven't checked if fastboot flash /dev/... actually will work.

My search foo just isn't great today. Do you happen to have the link? I was able to get a USB flash drive connected but then had no way to connect to my computer to run the fastboot commands.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmcp:
So even after re-writing the serial no. via

fastboot oem writeserialno ABC0000DEF000

the mb (motherboard?) serial number is still corrupt.

# fastboot oem readmbserialno
...
(bootloader) MB Serial No. is �y�4��k=n�$ywhDr�;S�``�V���
(bootloader) ���
(bootloader) �Z��G�OF

Is the mbserialno in the mfg partition?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
yes, everything is in there (and more than once), but from the looks of it, p6 is not the problem (or at least the only problem)... it's the active commandline overflow. even a couple of users with S-On have gotton this, and so far nothing has worked :(
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmcp:
Really bad news. :crying:

I contacted HTC via email and they almost made me laugh... They are clueless!

--> I'm sure there's even no "click this" on how bad that answer is.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
There are actually two serial numbers, well maybe three: (Device, MB, and mdm9k):

X:\hboot-eng>fastboot oem readserialno
...
(bootloader) Device Serial No. is HT34KW90xxxx
OKAY [ 0.013s]

(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_ENC ret = 0
(bootloader) OK
OKAY [ 0.017s]
finished. total time: 0.019s

There first is accessed via writeserialno and readserialno, the second can only be read using readmbserialno.

The device serial no. is in p6, and mb serial no. is in p6 and possibly some NV memory on the MB itself?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
didnt know about about mdm9k_serial :o

anyway, pretty soon everybody's going to look at p6, so why not post it: (this is for educational purposes only!!)

Problem resoloved

So long story short, my issue has now been resolved. I sent it back to HTC and paid $90 to have them repair it. Apparently it wasn't an easy fix and they've sent me out a new phone. I'm sad that I wasn't able to flash the correct partition to re-write the motherboard serial number. But the good news is that this new phone is much better than my old one. I had gap issues before. This new phone really is a 0-gap construction. I'm much more happy. And yes it really is a new (different) phone. The IMEI is a different number.

I know this really isn't good news for anyone else that has the same issue. I really wish I knew what I did that caused the motherboard serial number to become corrupt!

Anyway, Thanks everyone for helping out.

Is there a way to turn my Verizon Moto X into the Developer Edition? I don't want custom Roms. I just want to get updates faster, like the same time the developer edition gets an update. Thanks
[Moto X General] Cozume:
You will get the update at the same time the Verizon Developer Edition gets it. 4.4.2 hasn't been pushed to Verizon customers yet. Since Verizon is CDMA, we have to wait for the Verizon 4.4.2 to be released.

If you bought your Moto X from Verizon or Moto Maker, there is no way to unlock the bootloader. If you want a Verizon Dev Ed and have an upgrade available, check out my thread about a Free Verizon Dev Ed using an upgrade. Takes some work, but can be done.

How to Get a FREE Verizon Dev Ed if You Have an Upgrade Available

You could sell your current Moto X, too on swappa after you get your Verizon Dev Ed.
[Moto X General] drtyhry31:
Thanks for the info Cozume, I'll just have to be patient.
[Moto X General] Flexia32:
I'm almost considering getting a Dev and swapping my moto maker parts to it. Almost....
[Moto X General] KidJoe:
All the Verizon X's use the same rom... Developer, Moto Maker, Retail, they use the same rom.

Only real difference is that the Dev Ed comes only with black face, woven white back, and silver button/accents, and last but certainly most important is its bootloader can be unlocked for easy rooting and developing.

The Retail and Moto Maker X for Verizon can't have their bootloaders unlocked. I've read posts saying its due to eFuse, which can't be undone, but don't quote me on that.
[Moto X General] imnuts:
Sell it and buy one. Only way it'll happen.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] danivempire:
Thanks for the bloatware list, it's gonna be useful ^^
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] stubbe:
You're welcome. Be aware the list of the APK above is NOT listing the bloatwares.

Those are the ones you should LEAVE ALONE.

Additional guide :

Adding third party apps as default system app

As noted above, I've removed SamsungIME.apk, which is the default samsung keyboard (which I hated much, with passion) and replaced it with SwiftKey.

What you'll need :

ES File Explorer

Zip tool; could be Winzip or Winrar on PC, or I use ZArchiver for Android

Purchased apps are stored as .asec in /data/app-private. Using ES File Explorer app backup feature, you can save it as .apk and install it like common apps.

Aftermath, background processes and battery consume list. Also attached RemoveMultiWindowIcon.zip (flash it using ClockWorkMod if you hate the multiwindow icon).

I installed dropbox and swiftkey, so if you did a factory reset, you'll only left with 2 active background processes at most (excluding SystemUI and Android core, of course)

Also, list of apk/odex updated, with SecTabletAlarmClock_P4NOTE.apk, ContextAwareService.apk, SecDownloadProviderUi.apk removed, along with their odexes. No problem so far.

SecDownloadProviderUi.apk didn't do anything significant. I rebooted after I removed it, downloading google play still working fine and still give me some progress bar on the download.

However, I've lost the "downloads" icon, which means I cannot clean up the logs, and may be cluttered over time.

Edit :

A full day running the super slim tablet :

Running CSR Racing, Delver, Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, TrueSculpt and Google Drive/QuickOffice and tons of other apps without any problem.

MTP detected flawlessly and can send files from my computer through USB without problem.

Wifi internet run without problem, browsing from tablet work marvelously and also mobile data working properly.

Battery obviously last MUCH longer.

Found out that CSC.apk (after first boot/factory reset) and Personalisation.apk (not sure what it does, maybe had something to do with ringtones and wallpapers) are safe to remove. Can anyone confirm this? I've did a full unroot on my device. Well those two are minor, now that you're left with about 40 apks from 170 default apks (78 and 340 if you count the odex files). I think deleting them won't do much now. But just curious, whether they are safe to delete or not.

Also google docs updated
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] stubbe:
Tested removing these :

BadgeProvider.apk - those badges on the app icon which displayed numbers of received messages/notifications. No crashes removing this.

CSC.apk - Can be removed after first boot. Not sure what it do.

Personalization.apk - said to be safe to remove, and so far it is. Not sure what it do.

NetworkLocation.apk - provide GPS location through Wifi, didn't use GPS on my tablet anyway

Keystring_DFT.apk - contains sets of USSD codes

Keystring_factory.apk - contains sets of USSD codes

Keystring_misc.apk - contains sets of USSD codes

No errors/crashes or anything. Updated first post.

[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blakebn2012:
I am wondering why people would want to use Ubuntu Touch over android. I don't see many (if any) benefits of using it over Android.

I see that the section isn't very popular, but I hope someone can answer my question.

Thank you :)
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alucai Vivorvel:
I want a change. I'm tired of Android in a way. I'm the kind of guy that used to install a new Linux distribution every week. Not anymore though, no distro is compatible with my wireless adapter.

The prospect of a swipe based OS excites me. Plus, it's Ubuntu. I actually don't need a reason more than that.

:P
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikwen:
These are exactly the reasons why I am using Ubuntu Touch as well (except that I've never installed another Linux distribution than Ubuntu).

And I like the community. There's one on Google Plus and for bugs, you've got Launchpad. That way you can contribute to the project and discuss bugs very easily. Moreover, Canonical is very open towards ideas from the community. They do weekly Q&A sessions and they give you many information about what they actually do. And there are these daily updates which you can install if you want to (I do :D).

Additionally, I like how simple app development is for Ubuntu Touch (at least what I've seen so far, working on my first real app).

You should, however, keep in mind that it's still in a very early stage. There's no native email app yet, you need to use webapps (there's one for Google Mail for example). Nevertheless, there are new apps every day.

If you're lucky there's a dual-boot solution for your phone. For a lot of Nexus devices there's MultiROM by [MENTION=3418703]Tasssadar[/MENTION]. This is what I currently use. I rarely reboot to Android though.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee one:
I'm looking for a more open alternative to google/android. Google is building a walled garden as they move their apps to close source and more tightly integrate google with the device. Try using stock aosp without a google account. I like being able to customize and mod my phone, but lately, I can feel uncle google getting a little too pushy about what I can and can not do on my phone. I can understand google's business model and the individual users who choose, knowingly or unknowingly, to subscribe to it, although it is not to my taste, so I am looking for alternatives that are truly open where my data and privacy are under my control.

Putting aside my issues with google, other advantages of ubuntu touch would be a linux based OS that integrates with my desktop (also linux). I think Canonical/Ubuntu/Shuttleworth has hit the nail on the head with device convergence. To me, the phone and the desktop are just hardware that I happen to use in different places. The content, the data, and the connectivity are the things that are important to my user experience. The hardware is merely the finger pointing to the moon.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikwen:
Completely true. We definitely need more privacy and the convergence idea is great. :good:

Broadcom got you too eh? Haha, and I agree. The first Ubuntu distro I installed on a PC was 8.04 LTS. After having to mess around with the terminal to get ANY wireless adapter to work back then, really set me up for the era of Android smart phones. I love Ubuntu, I love the philosophy of Ubuntu. And when Ubuntu touch takes off, I'll definitely be excited to flash it onto a phone. Like you said, I don't need any more of a reason other than it's Ubuntu.

I thought the same thing with webOS. It's Linux, why not port? But even though the core is the same the code on top is not. Difference between c++, qml, java, and JavaScript. For ACL, There is a sense of moving towards other Mobile Linux OS's. Money is the factor.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikwen:
Well, they removed Dalvik and ART from that part of Android which they are using in Ubuntu for phones. So there won't be Android apps. (The Android design wouldn't fit into Ubuntu as well.)

[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 'Murica:
I want to switch because I want all my devices to be uniform and work with each other in a way Apple and Microsoft are failing to do. Having Ubuntu on my laptops, tablets, phones, desktops and televisions, and them working flawlessly together is going to be killer. Too bad this won't happen for another couple of years or so.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atmu5fear:
You could technically already do this with android and chromium no?
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 'Murica:
Not completely. You can't have all your devices (TV, Mobile devices, computers, etc.) Running one unified platform. What Canonical wants to do is use one OS across all devices with changes to the UI so it fits with whatever you are using. So you will (in the future) be running Ubuntu desktop across all your devices with changes to the UI.

I want to see Ubuntu on my phone and tablet because then once the real initial hurdle happens it will be fork season. If there are only small changes needed underneath to make Ubuntu run on any android device that can already run cyanogen mod it will be trivial to modifty each new version quickly to run on compatible devices. When forking the distro takes off we will probably see an automated system to build the needed underparts for each device pop up.
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aremis117:
I want ubuntu on my phone merely for the terminal use and for the tools I can use with it. Even the idea of a complete sync with my laptop from anywhere and desktop interaction is a great idea.

There is an app that came with my phone Samsung Galaxy s2 (t989D) running 4.04. I'd like to pull this app and use it on a custom rom. Is there any way to pull the APK off the phone? I know there's ways to pull apks for apps you've downloaded from the market. Would these methods apply for preloaded apps?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GermainZ:
Those apps are usually in /system/app.

You can pull them if you're rooted. Using adb pull:

adb pull /system/app/app.apk

You can also use any file explorer, go to /system/app and copy it.

Root is required, of course.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atmu5fear:
Cool thanks. After messing around a bit I did figure it out using root explorer. One thing I found along the way is an app called app extractor which can pull individual apks and settings from nandroid back ups :) . While different than the topic at hand, pretty cool little app!

The Snapdragon 800 radio can only physically handle 7 LTE bands at the same time. If it could handle more, there would be no need for a D820 and a D821.

Now I am not sure how these bands are controlled on the WRT1605L. It will either be physical hardware configuration (different MSM8974 in D820 or D821) or Software (firmware) however, even if it is the latter, don't get your hopes up. It would not be possible for us to change the firmware of the radio.
