[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aj4u:
Hello All,

Seems UE has Qualcomm MSM8226 Snapdragon 400,

which is a the same as the S3 mini/HTC mini.

I have a question, if anyone can shed some light on it.

In the Android FS, there is a file imei.bin usually in /data/rfs/data/ some path, can't remember exactly.

If this file was to be modified, how would things work? Or is this file only for the AP level stuff, because ultimately the modem connects to the network, i'm guessing this file is just read out of the modem at boot time?

what is MSL? I have seen a number of commercial tools available which can repair IMEI, just wondering why they can do it.

Would I need to be rooted in order to read/write to the modem fd?

Thanks AJ

There is not rfs on our g
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aj4u:
Hello,

Please could you advise:

" There is not rfs on our g "

I managed to get QPST talking to the modem, by making the modem go to bootloader mode, then set it to BP tools...

I got 3 USB ports one of which is QC Diag Port, I installed drivers..

Then started NV Editor and read the PAGE files from the modem...... :)

I changed some digits, then tried to write. QPST does not return any error or issues, however nothing has changed on the device.

I am guess the modem FD (part where the NVRAM is stored) is READ_ONLY as the UE is not rooted.

Thanks Aj

I'm on a new Galaxy S4. Model SCH-1545, baseband version VRUEMK2, on Verizon wireless. I have root access and I wanted to install this ROM, do I need to go through saferoot to do so or is my version able to use a custom recovery?

Also is there any downside to using saferoot? Will the OS run slower?

I know similar topics have been covered quite a bit here and I have read through many threads, so I apologize for rehashing a familiar topic - I just wanted specific advice if possible because I hard bricked my last phone when I thought I had it all figured out and I'd rather look like a dummy on here than brick another phone.

I greatly appreciate any help that anyone can offer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Please do some research...There is a sticky thread in general section you need to read asap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tjhooker4:
Thanks, I've been reading through all of them and realized that that particular rom is not even safestrap compatible.

From everything I've read, my version of the gs4 is currently restricted to safestrap for custom ROMS - is that correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Correct
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
To answer the outstanding question: rooting your phone won't make it run slower.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tjhooker4:
Ah, that was a typo. I meant to ask if ROMs would run slower when using safestrap. Thank you for your response though.

And I think I'm good with stock 4.3 for now. I just wanted a bare bones, GPE style, KitKat ROM but that does not appear to be possible on my device currently so I'll probably just wait until something like that pops up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Safestrap gives you many options. ..hyperdrive is by far the most customizable rom out of the gate I have seen and one of the fastest..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tjhooker4:
Thanks for the tip. I'm still trying to read up on all of the available ROMs to see if any jump out at me and Hyperdrive seems to be pretty cool, seems like a lot of people enjoy it and it has a good dev team too.

I had all sorts of strange problems with build 18a, but both builds 20a and 20b work fine. The best part is you can just use the 18a kernel with the good gamma settings on those builds.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] meanoc:
How would I go about doing that?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] LBJM:
There are a number of ways the easiest is to download one of the 20a/20b build you want to flash. Then flash the zip file and after that is done DO not reboot yet. Next flash the kernel you want and reboot. I've attached the 18a kernel all I did was borrow a zip from Demetris' kernel and then replace the kernel he had in the file with the 18a kernel, so his script might say GPE-ish kernel but it will flash the 18a kernel (I forget what it says). When you reboot you should notice the better gamma setting. The version number of the kernel will stay the same LG was sneaky like that.

Not really. New twrp fixed splash screen but when rom starts boot then boot animation is darkened, same as booted rom. Nothing really important, after first lock/unlock brightness back to normal.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] LBJM:
It's the setting of the 18a kernel at boot up. If you watch it boot up it darkens when the LG logo comes up. It would of been nice if LG made a way to toggle the setting, it makes for a great night time mode.

Sorry for the newb question but whats the benefit to changing the settings in the build.prop file back. I'm guessing the original settings are for Russia, are there so many applications blocked in Google Play Store in Russia, or are there other considerations that I'm missing?

Hello,

just some questions before considering to use this zip.

In the original thread where they mention this leaked image, they warn us that the system will do a full system wipe

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51384491&postcount=115

However, from your first post, I understand that using this .zip this doesn't happen, right? So if I'm coming from CM11, I better do a factory reset from TWRP, is that it?

Additionally, can you comment on the wifi connectivity? I have several issues with wifi just at home (not at work) when using CM11, however the stock rom (based on 4.2.x) was very good. Has anyone find any issue with network?

Finally, can we flash the "buildprop_toggle" zip file just after flashing the system image, or shall we first reboot the tablet, start the new image and then reboot to recovery later?

Thank you!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Master SURGE:
thank you id10terror , top quality work !

Looks like most of the people seeing issues are coming from CM11.

If you encounter issues, a Factory Reset in TWRP might be needed.

I know from previously owned devices that moving from CM to Stock Roms always had issues and required a Data wipe. Probably the case here as well.

If someone coming from CM11 can confirm issues are resolved by a Factory Reset, I can add it to the "Known Issues\Fixes"
