[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
Photon Q is officially supported by CyanogenMod (I'm maintainer).

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Moto_msm8960_Info

I recommended to use OpenRecovery 2.09, download link can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48551561&postcount=75

CM11 is what I run on my phone and I'm not aware of any issues worth mentioning.

I have no idea what you mean by

. If people complain but don't post

adb logcat -b radio

, there's no way to help them. My data work fine.

(Issues reported by CDMA users are something else, outside of my scope as I'm in GSM land, but CDMA fixes are still in progress in the generic CM code).

When I search https://jira.cyanogenmod.org for xt897, I see only three bug reports.

There's not much moto_msm8960 specific progress happening right now as we mostly wait for the release of 3.4 kernel source by Motorola (it would be waste of time to backport more 3.4 code to our current 3.0 kernel as 3.0 will become obsolete hopefully soon).

Anyway, back to your original question: you can use the stock 4.1.2 firmware on SIM modded Q just fine.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Morecrabs:
on version 10.2.1 I had issues with 3G data, I had data when the Phone was connected with H+ but the Moment it switched to 3G i lost Connectivity, after a small amount of Google searching I found other folks had this issue as well except the Photon Q community had Not reported this issue explicitly, the Loss of 3G isnt something most would notice since the Coverage has been improving Signifcantly but for me in my area its fairly apparent because its more Rural, so we have some holes in the At&ts 4g coverage

I installed the Latest 2.7 Twrp and flashed CM11 Nightly lastest, working ok, but the Install of Gapps Keeps failing, this phone being my daily driver i want it to be as seamless as possible

Flashed latest Nightly and 3-22_gapps_Standard_4.4.2_Signed.zip

its failing on the gapps install

the 3G issues on the Nightly seem eliminated as i Havent Noticed the Coverage Loss as of yet, but was hoping to Get Ingress Running which made the Loss of Connectivity very apparent Go resistance!

thank U for the reply guys, I really do appreciate your works and didn't mean to come off as a whiner, just need it to work seamlessly since its a daily driver and this roms are experimental and Im no expert, I really do enjoy the Features Implemented and the Debloating especally but simply wondered if the stock would be able to provide me a more stable environment until till more kinks got worked out
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] chykan:
I am based in Australia where 3G 850mhz GSM band is used on a sim modded phone. I am running ICS. did you manage to get gapps installed?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjlowe:
So based on what I have read so far, KitKat has protections for apps writing to the external microSD card. An example of how you might "fix" this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2617921

However, the M8 also protects the system directory, so we cannot write to it. Kind of a catch-22, no?

So, my questions are:

1) Do we think we will be able to remove the system protection?

2) Will that then allow us to let apps write to the microSD card?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolarTrans:
You will have to root and edit the system permissions file as shown in that link. I did it with my GS4, and it worked perfectly! It allows any app to write to external SD.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjlowe:
I have used ES File Explorer with root enabled, but it won't let me write to system due to the other issue I mentioned.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolarTrans:
I used it too. You have to enable root access for the app (within its settings), then for the specific permissions folder itself (also within the app). You've gotta make sure it has permission to write in both of those settings as well.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjlowe:
I am not following...I did set root Explorer for the app, but I cannot modify anything, including permissions for the folder because I cannot modify the contents of /system
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkinetic:
U can bypass system write protection by using adb from within custom recovery (TWRP) and issue this command

adb shell

mount /system/
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjlowe:
Perfect! Thank you sir! So to continue this thought, if it can be done in recovery, are we just waiting for a method to do this live in a fully booted system?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkinetic:
basically we need an insecure kernel/module/boot.img as far as i know there is one out but only for dev/testing purposes, i think in order to get a proper one we first need kernel source to drop, i'm no dev so I could be wrong.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kayone73:
I applied this fix on my LG GPad GPe which had 4.4 stock and didn't support RW to the external sdcard. Yes it does require root in order to access and edit that file to change permissions, but its ridiculous how editing one line of code will fix this problem, now I can read/write and even write data directly to my extsd card and save TWRP backups to ext memory no problem.

I plan to do the same once I get and root my GPe M8
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolarTrans:
I may be able to help further once I get my M8 this Friday, but as of now I don't have an Android device to use and guide you through with. It took me a lot of messing around, and there was some menu in the app past the general root access one that changed permissions of a few folders (/system and a couple others). It looks like the ADB method above helped though so hope you're up and going!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lacrossev:
Here's how i managed to apply the "fix" to platform.xml, this will require root at the very least.

I navigated to /system/etc/permissions/ and copied platform.xml from there to the internal SD, then i opened it with solid explorer's built in text editor, though i think any editor will do, and changed it like this:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_r" />

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

</permission>

Saved the file, and rebooted in to TWRP.

Once in TWRP i mounted the system partition, then used the file manager under advanced. Navigated to /system/etc/permissions/ again and renamed permissions.xml to permissions.xml.bak so that i'd have a backup right there in the same directory. Next I used the file manager and copied the permissions.xml that i modified and saved earlier to the internal SD back in to /system/etc/permissions/. Finally i used the chmod functionality in the file manager and did a chmod 644 to it. Booted in to android and tried to copy a file from the internal SD to the external SD and everything seems to have worked fine.

While i was in there i moved some of the bloatware off the priv-app folder in /system so it wouldn't keep trying to reinstall lumen and it's bushel of crap every time i reboot. I think its also possible to get rid of or change the boot sound via TWRP file manager but i haven't tried yet.

Sorry if all that was a jumble and hard to understand, i can reword it if necessary.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bachatu:
You can, I removed the boot up sound by using the file manager in recovery mode. It's found here: system/customize/resource/HTC_Sense5_Boot.mp3

Edit:

I followed your steps and now I am able to write to my SD card with no problem. Thanks!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Black Antitoon:
Hello.

Thank you lacrossev for the steps you have provided, but unfortunately they don't seem to work for me.

I have the international, carrier-free One M8. Perm-rooted it today and installed TWRP, but I am still on the stock ROM. The problem seems to be that the platform.xml file is restored to the original version on every reboot. I even tried to chmod 0444 it, so that nobody can overwrite it, but it didn't do the trick. I cannot figure out where the file is being restore from.

Any clues? Thanks in advance to anybody who will help.

Also thank you Bachatu, I replaced the startup sound with Windows 2000's startup sound. :D

I have followed them carefully, but the file keeps being reverted
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wetxxx:
I change my permison.xml file like this

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

give a permision to file 644 like in instructions but nothing. Still phone crash when I try move a file to system directory from internal_sd. :(

I have cid_032 and 1.54.401.10 version
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashyx:
I have write access to the ex sd without making modifications to the xml file. Also have apps writing to the ex sd card too.

I don't have <group gid="media_rw" /> under WRITE-EXTERNAL_STORAGE nor do I have <group gid="sdcard_rw" /> under WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wetxxx:
I try two version from other post with add to WRITE-EXTERNAL_STORAGE <group gid="sdcard_rw" /> and without and still nothing.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snug_gles:
Thank you so much.

I spent a long time trying this out... and found where I was going wrong in reading the description.

To everyone else who's trying to do this...

Please note the following...

You need to COPY partition.xml from M8's internal sd to the external micro sd card then modify it there.

Then when you go into TWRP, you then rename the M8's internal sd copy of "partition.xml" to "partition.xml.bak"... only then, you copy the modified file for "partition.xml" from the external micro sd card back into M8's internal sd at /system/etc/permissions....

They key here is to note that when the author refers to internal sd..... he really means the external micro sd card.

Good luck everyone, I can get back to using quickpic.

[AT&T HTC One (M8)] TheXclusive814:
With the AT&T version and htcdev website, what all will unlocking the phone provide compared to rooting a Samsung device
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] cundiffr:
Once you follow the steps on the site its very similar to a nexus when you unlock it via fastboot. Its way easier than a Samsung device IMO
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] TheXclusive814:
So does that give me root access to backup and restore apps edit build.prop and run xposed modules?
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Nathan2:
Unlocking the bootloader is necessary, but not sufficient, to root the device AFAIK. First, you unlock the bootloader; this allows you to boot a custom recovery like TWRP, which allows you to do a number of things like take backups, edit files (including build.prop), and install extra software, including the stuff you need to get root.

You don't have to flash the recovery if you don't want to, you can just fastboot it from your PC when you want to use it. You also don't need to root just to edit build.prop, you can do that from recovery. But you must unlock the bootloader either way.
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] TheXclusive814:
Thanks for further clarification. So what is needed to flash custom roms? is that where s-on and s-off comes into play?

For better yet what all what I need to do to get root, run xposed modules and flash some of the custom ROMs that are out there already? Not really interested in kernels I have normally always ran stock kernel on my other phones
[AT&T HTC One (M8)] Nathan2:
I don't think you need S-OFF just to flash a custom ROM. You should be able to simply do that from recovery.

To put another way, in recovery there will be an option like "Install from ZIP file." There's a very small ZIP file that would just give you root access in the existing, stock ROM or it could be a much larger ZIP file that contains an entire custom ROM.

Note that almost all custom ROMs come with root access baked in, and you don't need to root the stock ROM if you're just going to install a custom one anyway.

If you don't have the recovery yet, it's here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2698134
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
On AT&T's S5 order page, it says that the're going to ship on April 8th. Considering the release date is supposed to be the 11th, I'm pretty surprised they're shipping them out early. I thought some of you guys may want to know that if you plan on picking one up ASAP.
[Galaxy S 5 General] thegrants82:
That means that you will have it on the 11th. No sooner.
[Galaxy S 5 General] SolarTrans:
Yeah possibly. They may do overnight shipping or in-store pickup though.

[HTC One Max] w5cyc:
So my battery life isn't great after the KK update, which I was expecting since I had the same problem on the M7 after update. I'm going to go ahead and do a hard reset I think to clear all the caches. That generally helps.

Here's my question. I spent the better part of a day a couple weeks ago loading media onto my 64GB sd card. The phone is in an otterbox case which is hard to open anyway, and the more you open it the weaker the tabs holding it shut become. So I'd rather not physically remove the card. Will the hard reset affect the SD card at all? Should I unmount the card through developer options before the reset? Would that make any difference?
[HTC One Max] dottat:
It should not clear your physical sd.

The Run.bat did not work for me because it kept saying adb.exe is not a command.

I solved opening a command window in the folder and following the run.bat commands manually.

worked perfectly :)

I rebooted in recovery after root, and I found the stock recovery again.

I assume this doesn't flash a custom recovery.

Just few questions: Will this root Optimus G Pro on KitKat only ?

I mean, if I didn't update and I were on 4.1.2, Could I use this root method to root my phone?

So if the answer at the previous question is a "yes" and since this root method is working on G pad and G2 too, Would it be possible to use this root method on G2 4.2.2 too ?

Thanks
