It is difficult to root if you can't unlock your bootloader. There is a thread in this forum telling you how to root your device with both locked and unlocked bootloader.
[Moto X Q&A] nhizzat:
Rooting this device isn't difficult. If you can read and type verbatim, letter for letter, you can get root. People need to stop psyching themselves and others out.
[Moto X Q&A] a10fjet:
can you specify what sbf is? searching didn't help. Try not to use so many acronyms for us dummies.

do i use ODIN? what do i use to flash?

Does motorolaOTA automatically download the latest updates and install them without warning you?

thanks for giving me hope!

EDIT: does anyone know if http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/orig-development/script-root-moto-x-root-script-locked-t2603051 will work?
[Moto X Q&A] a10fjet:
I'm getting close to knowing what to do!

But the individual steps are not very well written.

For example on the RockMyMoto page, he just starts giving you commands. He doesn't tell you what to type them into. In the video, everything is already open. I tried the command in cydia impactor and it didn't do anything. I though maybe you do it in adb, I don't really know what that is but I found adb.exe and launched it but the command window it opens goes through a bunch of commands and then closes. I can't even get past step one because he never said how he got to the point where he starts!

CartlandSmith said, in the third post, that i am supposed to reflash 4.2.2 at the end.. Did he mean 4.4? Or 4.2.2 then slapmymoto then take 4.4 over the air?

It would be really helpful (to me at least) if someone could put step by step instructions. Like humiliatingly degradingly redundant instructions for a complete idiot. I will put them up if I ever figure it all out. It's so frustrating when the instructions are so detailed from where they start, but they never show you how they got to where they are.

Thanks to everyone for the help.

EDIT: probably stupid question but does the phone ever need to be connected by USB? none of the posts mention it but all other devices i've used needed it. adb (here is a tutorial)/ isn't recognizing my device with USB connection or not. Both connected to same router, all drivers and everything updated, Debugging enabled...
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
No offense intended...at all....but if you value your phone, you really need to study up and read LOTS of stuff here. Until you understand what you are about to do, don't do anything. ;)

Just trying to save you from a bricked phone. You seem very unsure of everything at this point. No one can post anything here that isn't already covered in the guides. Look at the stickies, complete Moto x guide is there.

Good luck. :)
[Moto X Q&A] a10fjet:
Hmm i rebooted my computer and factory reset my X and now everything is connecting. Guess you should always try the IT Crowd's advice before doing anything else lol

I agree that everything is covered on this site, it's just not organized.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
It seems unorganized when you don't understand. Read enough of it and it all makes sense eventually. This has everything about bootloaders, rooting...etc. BUT, you need to know what applies to your situation. And again...that comes when you understand the stuff.

[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
The OP of the thread I linked is well organized. Its about the only one that is. Its also stickied, so should be incredibly easy to find.

As far as misinformation goes, that's due to people being quick to post advice when they clearly don't have a handle on this stuff themselves.

How to avoid the clutter and misinformation? Maybe point people to good threads that already exist instead of filling new ones with more misinformation. No? Or God forbid, suggest they search for the information that already exists? Instead of helping to grow yet another repeated thread with both good and poor information within it.

Xda's number one rule was created for a reason. To keep clutter and thread after thread of similar content to a minimum. A lot of inaccurate information gets repeated over and over as well. But, so many refuse to search cause its too much work, and just as many others condone this behavior by answering.

I know most don't agree with what I'm saying, as the forums prove with the repeated information here in truck loads. And I also know when any of us remind people of rule number one here on xda....we're called trolls, flamers and much worse....even when the reminder was posted respectfully.

So who exactly are the flamers? LOL

Its looking like reminding members to search and read and actually help them help themselves is becoming a dangerous practice. I'm tired of the misinformation and cluttered forums....and if reminding is just going to start drama at every turn, I suppose reporting the offenders is the easier option. Tho not my first choice.

But if you read this carefully, you'll see I'm completely agreeing with you. LOL. So lets agree to agree and leave it at that.

And as a member who's been around a while, I won't stop doing my part to try to cut down the misinformation and lack of respect for the xda rules. Not abiding by rule number one is EXACTLY why the mess of confusing information exists. You see that, right?

If the newer members want to make me the bad guy for this, fine. I'll be the bad guy.

And I help more people here than most as well.....but that's forgotten if you disagree with anyone or remind anyone of the rules here. Fine. Again.....call me the bad guy. Better get used to it too, I'm not going anywhere. :)

I'd apologize for the off topic, but this thread should have been closed anyway.

Have a good one! ;)

Open BBM -> More -> Settings -> make sure "BBM Connected Icon" is turned on.

I've had the same, in the previous version, before this button was even introduced. Ever since BBM was updated, the icon has always been there and has never disappeared, at all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meangreenie:
no go for me.. tried on my nexus 5 and daughters nexus 4 on KitKat.... after a period in deep sleep the bbm app goes into a 0bytes state in settings/apps/running.. then despite the status bar icon saying connected, bbm will not get notifications until it is opened again. Other msg apps cope fine in the 0byte state, shrugs.. I have missed loads of messages over the last week's.

I've tried many things to try and stop that behaviour..

turning it into system app

setting all permissions

changing owner and group to root

odexing it

nothing works
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrCatalyst:
Ah, I see. My bad then.

As of to the replacement - Kik Messenger works well. Works similarly to BBM, by having your own name used to add people (i.e. MrCatalyst) and vice versa. Much more secure than WhatsApp, which uses phone number and lacks privacy, and very similar to BBM at that.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mdaexecfan:
Hi, this is probably a very basic question but it really puzzles me: is it possible to remove files and applications from Windows Mobile? For example, say I don't want that solitaire or bubble breaker games, or even the MSN thing. Is it possible to uninstall them? How?

On Windows XP there's an application called 'xp lite' that allows you to do just that.

I don't want the themes, I don't want the wallpaper, the sounds, the applicatins I didn't install like IE and Outlook and whatever else. All I want is the core windows mobile + whatever I install on it. Is it possible?

Any pointer or information would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] hanmin:
Not really. It maybe possible to remove the theme, the wallpaper, but the applications (IE, Games, Outlook, MSN, etc) and some of the WAV files (e.g. Alarm1.wav) are in the ROM. Unless you are going to flash your ROM, there are no possible way to remove it.

I'm not sure why you want to do this, but if you are for space saving purposes, you are out of luck.

However, if you wanted just to disable the application, you may create a dummy exe and overwrite the original file. When the original (ROM) file is overwritten by a new file, the ROM one will not be visible. Of course, the person using it will just have to delete the file to reveal the ROM one.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mdaexecfan:
Thanks for your reply. Is there a guide somewhere on how all this works? The rom, how files are handled, how the memory is used, etc?

MHL 2.0 = 60hz = 60 FPS = Gaming Heaven on TV.

MHL 1.0 = 24hz = 24 FPS = Useless for anything other than video playback.

How do you find out if Xperia Z1 have support for 60 FPS/MHL 2.0?
[Xperia Z1 General] Gitaroo:
I have a 1.1 adapter, as it doesn't supply enough power to keep the phone going and require something better, I would assume that it support 2.0.

I have a car charger that worked fine for my Xperia S, but it's too loose for the Z1, have to hold it a certain way to get contact.
[Xperia Z1 General] Rekoil:
Since the Z1 is a USB2.0 device (due to connector, not chipset), I would be surprised if you could squeeze 4K out of it. I'm no expert though, and I don't know exactly how MHL works so I may be wrong.
[Xperia Z1 General] Ame123:
Actually the z2 also has usb 2.0 but i really doubt that z1 supports mhl 3.0 and if it does reallg support ill be more than just happy..

Hi guys,

as the LEAP wifi connection works as harm on 4.1.2 and stop working on 4.3 (I know the reason - the field user certificate is missing on wifi setting window), I would like to firstly install 4.1.2 on my xperia sp and set up the wifi (user certificate, password, etc). Ater that, using pc upgrade

the android to 4.3. It keeps my wifi settings, so it keep connecting.

But when I'm trying to unlock bootloader, I lost all settings.

Is it possible to restore the settings, from file? Which file is responsible for that?

Is that /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file? Enough to keep it and restore it after unlock bootloader?

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yankeedog:
So after reserching and studying for about 4-5 hours last night I decided to root my ATT Galaxy Note 3 that WAS on MJ5 (Android 4.3) using http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2559715. I downloaded everything got ready to run it and my phone kicked over to an auto update right as I was about to hit start in Odin. Luckily I didn't hit Start.

So I was thinking wicked KitKat is out and then realized the file was too small.

After device restarted and upgraded it is still on 4.3 however now my AP and CP are N900AUCUBNB4 and my CSC is N900AATTBNB4.

So there is a very big issue here. So after researching I thought about going with the root de la vega method. However I do not want to trip the Knox Warranty. I've got the phone on AT&T Next and don't want to risk that affecting my ability to trade it in next year.

I've rooted a few phones but it has been awhile (I sinned and tried iOS worst mistake of my life).

Ultimatly I want to know if I can use root de la vega on the NB4 without tripping the Knox.

I researched this for about 2 hours now and can't find any definitive answer. Either I'm looking in the wrong area or it hasn't been answered.

Thanks for the help sorry for being a noob
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReggieSmith:

I still had SuperSU, but the binaries were missing. For those of you saying that, I would recommend trying to root again. I think Kingo was just being Kingo and it didn't go through.
