No carrier and boot loader unlocking are totally separate things. There is some legal language from a spectrum sale that says they can't lock boot loaders but there is a tiny loop hole about network security they are exploiting to get away with it
[Droid Ultra General] teerout:
network security loophole...hmm..that argument doesn't hold water.
[Droid Ultra General] lafont28:
It most likely wouldn't if someone had the resources to fight them but that is next to impossible. I also think that by having at least 1 dev edition available for use on their network it gives them something to fall back on it it came to that
[Droid Ultra General] Einsteindks:
I would think Verizon would want as many phones off warranty as possible. It's long been a huge financial drain on them sending phones overnight. As for the new phone update, there's not a huge aftermarket for batteries of phones with non replaceable batteries. When the battery dies, eventually, either the phone must be opened up to replace the battery (if you can find one), or just get a whole new phone. No, I believe Verizon would still profit by unlocking the bootloaders for a fee.

fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.
[Droid Ultra General] @work:
A Dev edition is available to you.
[Droid Ultra General] doogald:
Not really - at least for the Maxx. They have been out of stock for weeks, and they're not even listed on the motorola.com menus anymore.

That said, honestly, I don't think Verizon cares one way or the other. The number of people who want to unlock bootloaders is probably a very, very, very small number compared with the total number of phones that they sell. And, of course, my guess is that most people who want to unlock are looking to get tethering on grandfathered unlimited data plans. That's not exactly a goldmine for Verizon right now. I'd think that they want to get people off unlimited, rather than let people on unlimited plans use even more data.

[Moto X Q&A] captiv123:
Hi all, sorry if this has been asked before..

I didn't know that kit kat 4.4.2. cannot be rooted lol, so I unlocked my boot loader and spent hours trying to load recovery (TWRP or CWM), obviously with no luck.i saw something online that said 4.4 and I assumed it was good for 4.4.2. Didn't work anyways.

Is there any way to load the factory Rogers rom back on so that I don't have that unlocked bootloaeer warning on every boot ?

If yes, any idea where I can download ??

Also, will this change my status on fast boot to Locked ?

I was so looking forward to setup recovery and root, oh well, I still love the device and will be ok at stock until a fix comes out.

Any help would be very much appreciated

Thanks so much
[Moto X Q&A] Steve-x:
I don't have time to give extreme details but maybe I can still help point you in the right direction.

First off the Rogers Moto X is an XT1058, not an XT1053.

Once the bootloader is unlocked you can easily root the phone with twrp - same version is used for 4.4 and 4.4.2

You can relock the bootloader but the warning is technically always present. You can overwrite the image with a different one though.

The factory firmware is available for download, you can flash it yourself with rsdlite.

There are easy to find threads with all of the details needed to restore to 100% stock or root the Moto X. A few minutes searching and you should find them. Give it a shot, if after that you have further questions by all means please ask.
[Moto X Q&A] captiv123:
Hi, thanks for the reply

You are correct, its a 1058 and I officially unlocked my bootloader with motorola and voided my warranty...

I used this link

http://dottech.org/147327/how-to-root-moto-x-on-android-4-4-kitkat-guide/a

And when I try to install the recovery in terminal, it says (bootloader) variable not supported)

It then says writing recovery, finished (so it seems to write it), but I follow instructions, then reboot using terminal command "fastboot reboot" and try to boot into recovery but its blank.I even tried just rebooting to recovery and it still didnt work...

Or it just reverts to stock boot up.

I have tried others also but cannot seem to get it working properly.

Any chance you can guide me though it ? I would really appreciate it...
[Moto X Q&A] captiv123:
Hi I did some searching and got it figured out :)

Thanks again for your help
[Moto X Q&A] captiv123:
Hi again,

For some reason, when I went to reboot this morning, TWRP is gone. I boot into recovery and blank screen, seems it didnt hold.

Any idea why ??

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDylan1357:
Hello everyone.

Just bought a Nexus 5 off somebody on craigslist, one big issue. Broken digitizer (I did know this when I bought it). Glass itself is mint, not even a scratch. However, the digitizer is all kinds of f***ed up, and the touch does not work. Phone itself works fine, I can confirm.

Has anybody sent their Nexus 5 in to LG recently for screen repair? If so how much was it? It would be $10 to send it in and either get it fixed or not, so I'm wary about sending it in without knowing a price. Anybody know? I'm guessing $100-$150 area, friend could do it for me with just the parts but obviously I'd prefer LG to do it. Just wondering.

Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Call a service center for an estimate, but i guess 100-150 USD will not be sufficient for the part plus assembly.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXghostXx313:
Do lg instead. I bought a screen from ebay and the screen didn't even work correctly. It didn't compared to the original screen. It cost me 150 for that third party screen replacement. I heard that's the price for an OFFICIAL screen from lg as well. That's what I'm planning on doing next.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDylan1357:
idk, I've heard it's $146 some places, $100 others. They don't give out estimates, it has to be sent in (odd).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
As stated above make sure they`re talking about a original LG screen and not some cheap Chinese knockoff.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NORCALkID:
I replaced the screen my self ..It cost me 135 on eBay. What is nice is that the screen comes with the housing and buttons and pretty much all you do is drop the pieces into the new housing. Look up a few tutorials to see how its done. Also bought a few tools so all in all it was $150.

About the GPe version:

Only for C6806_GPe from Google, do not flash on a normal Z-Ultra

This is untested by me as I don't have access to a GPe Z-Ultra. Use at your own risk

The GPe version has been flashed and booted. Thanks to [MENTION=4130380]CCJ22[/MENTION] for testing this out.

The GPe version of Carbon is built with CM11 device tree so will have any CM11 Togari and Togari_GPe bugs tat come from the device tree

[ROM][4.4.2][Unofficial] Carbon KitKat - Togari GPe [2014-03-11]

[MENTION=4130380]CCJ22[/MENTION], I think I have found the problem with the GPe build. I had missed a line in the config of the build so had pulled in some togari stuff instead of GPe. Should be sorted now. Building a new version now, will upload in the morning
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CCJ22:
Awesome sounds good. But I'm just now getting around to test. The MMS and calls not working was CM11.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CCJ22:
OP, I'm here to report this has (so far) ran flawless on my GPE. I've had it on for about 15 minutes and loving it. Much more so then CM11.

Calls and MMS both work fine on GPE. Video I made coming up shortly. (Although not very well made video)

Question, is carbon rom based off CM11?

Also, can us GPE guys get our own thread by chance in the GPE section of forum? That way we can keep comments seperate? I don't mean to fuss, and not a big deal if it's too much trouble.

Good to know that it is running smooth ;)

Carbon is based on ASOP (and other bit and bobs) and I have pulled the device tree in from CM11, as has Liquid and slim will aswell (if I get it to build fully)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CCJ22:
Found another problem, music youtube, etc... Make no sound.

I find it interesting that your rom makes the calls and MMS but CM11 doesn't. Ah well. Great ROM
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CCJ22:
Here is a video showing proof of the rom working.

Disregard the beginning of the video where I mention working with the rom developer. I should have stated, the OP assisted me in getting this rom working on my device and only wanted to return the favor by making a review.

I DID NOT, do any work on the rom itself. All credit to the OP on this great rom.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CCJ22:
Blue, when I flash this updated rom (thank you for compiling these for us GPE owners btw) do I have to clear delvik, user mem, and cache?

I'm worried I'll lose all my apps data and all my settings of how I set up the carbon fibers.

I guess, what I'm asking is for those of us that are newbs that already have this rom, but an older version of it, and want the newer version... How do we flash newer version without losing all the app data and all the settings?

I know with CM11 when I would get a nightly I just download and let it do it's thing. But since carbon, is much preferred and I'm forced to manually download and install (not built into it like CM11) what's the method I should use?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Good question, the sort that I don't mind spending time to answer (and thinking about the answer) :)

When updating a ROM you should be able to forget about the format Data and just wipe the cache and dalvick cache. This will keep all the installed apps and their config etc.

If you are brave you can switch ROMs like that as well but is likely to make things unstable. Not too bad going from one AOSP based ROM to another but to something like CM/PAC/etc it is more likely that things will play up and you will get FC and the like.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] CCJ22:

I have read that after even just flashing 4.4.2 update, it will not be possible to revert (nandroid) to any 4.3 ROMs. If true - why if firmware the same ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] zz1049:
Yep DONT UPDATE IF YOU DONT WANT ANY CHANGES!

edit; I think there will be a patch soon enough though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaww:
I would not think of "updating" and get stuck with KNOXed bootloader. Absent that, i do not see why reverting would be a problem, but I have read otherwise.

That was my reason for asking.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] zz1049:
Reason being is that the boot loader does not permit loading the old version of android onto it. If you update and then tried to flash the old Raum 4.3 it will cause errors and will ask you to reinstall the firmware, which is basically just the recovery part. 4.3 will flash this part of the image but then the rest of it will have problems. A lot of custom ROMs have been out there that run on 4.3 kernels but are running 4.4 ROMs and these are really actually 4.3. In those cases you can easily revert to stock 4.3. However, if you have updated then through Samsung software it will update the boot loader and you will no longer be able to revert.

For AT&T it is available to river, or at least reflash 4.4. I'm sure this will be fixed in time however at this point there is a lock or warning that has not been cracked basically. (Knox counter etc,)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dr. Fed:
This is what I've read: if you update to official 4.4.2, you cannot flash back to official 4.3 in Odin. Likewise, if you updated to official 4.3, you cannot Odin back to official 4.2.2. If you try to, you'll soft brick. The Knox-secured bootloaders prevent Odin from successfully flashing a previous version.

Now, if you do this and therefore soft-brick, you need to pull the battery and re-enter Odin mode. Then you must Odin-flash a custom recovery (luckily there are some Odin-flashable recovery files out there). Then, after another battery pull, you need to manually boot into your custom recovery and flash a custom rom (or restore a Nandroid). This will save your soft brick.

What we don't know, because it hasn't been released yet, is if the official 4.4.2 tar file would successfully flash in Odin if you already have the 4.4.2 Knox bootloader.

I didn't know having a mSD card in blocked the bootloader either. Probably because it doesn't (or shouldn't). You need only press the camera button while soft resetting btw.

If you run into any further problems let me know.

Didnt know it too but (on my phone) it was the problem for sure.

Working perfectly :)
