[Moto X Q&A] HeroOfTime:
I think the rep told you wrong. According to this link (found on the page that you linked under the "Find Your Device" section) https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/87215, it only works with the Verizon Dev Edition. You can give it a go, but it will probably reject the attempt. If Verizon has changed their policy (highly doubtful) a lot of people would be extremely happy. Anyway, give it a shot. The worst that can happen is that it tells you that your device doesn't qualify.
[Moto X Q&A] terrorist96:
Yeah, I even sent him that page saying that only the sprint, t-mobile and US Cellular versions can be unlocked. But I'll try this tomorrow. Anyone else can feel free to do so as well in the meantime.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Correct.

If you were on 4.4, you could root and disable write protection. When you took the 4.4.2 OTA, write protection became re-enabled, but you kept root. Of course this meant any changes/installs/etc made to /system and the like since taking 4.4.2 would be lost at power off/on.

Once 4.4.2 is on your phone, you can't root, and you can't disable write protection, unless you have a developer edition, or a carrier edition like Sprint, T-Mobile, etc that Moto gives out the bootloader unlock codes on their web site for. Once you unlock the bootloader you can root and write protection is disabled, and this can be done no matter what rom is on the phone.

The bounty to unlock the bootloader for VZW/ATT (who can't get codes from moto's web site), has continued to grow. No one has found a way. Same with some older Moto's too. Same with the updated GS4 and GS5, and so on.... So the chances of seeing a bootloader unlock hack are fading. Root exploits seem to get patched with each new ROM update (to root 4.4, you had to downgrade and root 4.2.2), so that is getting harder.

To be realistic, the only way to ensure you can have root and write protection disabled is to buy a Developer Edition, or from a carrier that allows you to unlock the bootloader. Yup it can cost more, and you can't customize its look, but its a small trade off if you *NEED* working root no matter what rom comes on your phone. Its a trade off I had to make, but it was easier when I did it as I was paying full price (to keep my unlimited data), and the Dev Edition was the only 32gig option for Verizon at the time.

---------- Post added at 09:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 PM ----------

As [MENTION=2700167]HeroOfTime[/MENTION] has said, unless Moto has reversed their course of action, Verizon and ATT non-developer phones can not receive an unlock code via Moto's web site.

That is why there was such a big "to do" about the Chinese site that was selling codes not too long ago. (which has been shut down).

Once you try it. Please let us know. There are MANY who would be very happy if Moto has changed things!!
[Moto X Q&A] terrorist96:
Well, I tried and got the expected error telling me that my device wasn't eligible. Guess that Motorola rep didn't know what she was talking about. I talked to someone else and they basically confirmed it, saying you can only do it on the Dev Edition on Verizon. :\

[Moto X Q&A] rampart51:
I've been searching for an answer to my problem and this is the best thread I have seen but....I'm a little confused. Here is what I did:

Bought a BOOST Mobile MOTO-G.

I unlocked the bootloader. I can be done on this device.

I flashed CWM from recovery. It worked fine.

From recovery, I flashed the VERIZON 4.4.2 image.

Booted the phone, activated it on PagePlus.

Went back to recovery, flashed SUPERSU. It worked....no errors.

Root checkers say I have root. I cannot use anything that needs root such as Titanium.

I connected the phone and did :

adb shell

getprop ro.boot.write_protect

It returned a 0 (zero)

Does this make sense? I just would like someone to confirm it does. Reading this thread has helped but it is the ZERO write protect thing that is throwing me.

Thanks in advance.
[Moto X Q&A] :
Moto G has a section on XDA....FYI. ;)

Maybe its an issue the X doesn't face. Better to post in the G section.
[Moto X Q&A] rampart51:
Thanks but I already tried that. Nobody seems to know why.
[General Questions and Answers] AlternativeWater:
Ok.....thanks for looking at this thread. I jusr wanted to know if having a slightly thicker bulge (shaped like a tiny mountain) is safe on my S4 Active's back door. I am worried about the waterproof rubber insulation in it. And is it also safe if I can use the i537 (ATT S4A)'s battery on my i9295?

I arrived at the point; i need to flash rom but how to copy zip to SD card ?
[HTC One S] casu91:
Sorry for my english too xD

I had the same problem last week.

Try to go in bootloader, then in fastboot and connect the device to the PC, from the PC with the Promt go in your adb folder

cd c:/[I]position of your folder[/I]

then test if adb sees your device with the command

adb devices

If it's ok then try again to push again the ROM with the command

adb push [I]name_of_the_file.zip[/I] /sdcard/zip.rom
[HTC One S] natmacax:
thnx man, but when i go to fastboot, ADB devices are empty ? no adb push command work.

fastboot devices command works but did not help me the problem

thanks in other adviseee
[HTC One S] casu91:
Then you should fix the driver problem first, have you tried it with both Win 8.1 and 7?
[HTC One S] natmacax:
doesn't work ADB on fastboot mode. both of win 7 and win 8.

BUT in the fastboot mode no driver problem ! i dont understand, you say ; when phone in the fastboot mode, adb push command should work ?

BTW, just now in the fastboot mode, its finally fastboot flash zip rom.zip command works, but *UCKN the new problem occurs :(:(:(:(

when the write flash command, error : data length is too large!

i investigate this problem now, do you know the problem root cause ?
[HTC One S] benJX:
In a last try you can simply downgrade your hboot and run last ruu. Then re-uprade your hboot and so ;)

Edit : ADB doesn't work in fastboot mode
[HTC One S] natmacax:
just now in the fastboot mode, its finally fastboot flash zip rom.zip command works, but i have a new problem

when the write flash command, error : data length is too large!

does have a any solution for this ?

also, you sayed upgrade downgrade hboot.... this is solution of the adb push problem ?

thnx
[HTC One S] casu91:
Sorry if I wasn't clear, what i was saying is that adb push command should work if your adb drivers are working!

I think that's a good solution if you can't push the zip with adb commands, I didn't think of that because when I had the problem I did it with the adb command
[HTC One S] benJX:
I'm not sure about what I'm saying but adb sideload doesn't work on recoveries made for hboot 2.16, aswell as mounting sdcard.

When you try to adb sideload from modded recovery for 2.16, it recognizes only 48mb of memory that's why you can't use it. But I repeat I'm not sure about it I never had to use adb sideload.

Edit : And you cannot flash a rom with fastboot. Flashing zip from it has to be done only when you want ot uprgade/downgrade firmware files in ruu mode
[HTC One S] natmacax:
IT'S FINALLY OVER :)

THANKS FOR ALL

i think the problem as you sad, hboot & TWRP version !

i downgrade hboot 2.16 > modded 2.15 (then i try flash rom sideload or pus, via twrp 2.7 didn't work)

then i reflash recovery downgrade TWRP 2.6.3 and all it works

i flash the rom via adb sideload, all it works.
[Nexus 7 General] NEERO:
I wanna know experience of those who used their Nexus 7 without screen guard for 1 month or longer.

Please mention the kind of usage,like gaming or simple browsing,please also mention if you used it with a case or without one.

I have currently removed the screen guard, the screen now looks really alive but I'm worried that it might result in scratches,I use it mostly for browsing and sometimes gaming.
[Nexus 7 General] Pr3no:
I never used a screen protector and I have my N7 for 2 years, there's not even one scratch on it.

However, if I travel somewhere I put a case on it which also protects the screen, but if it's not in a backpack then it's always naked.

I use it for browsing, but why would it matter?
[Nexus 7 General] NEERO:
I just thought that as gaming involves more rubbing of screen unlike browsing so it might cause some scratches.

Anyways thanks for the reply, I do have this poetic slim line case which is magnetic and would be useful while travelling.
[Nexus 7 General] NEERO:
Do you use something to clean the screen like some solution,if yes then how often?
[Nexus 7 General] Pr3no:
Even if gaming means more rubbing of the screen (which I don't think is the case, but I barely play anything on touchscreens), there's no way you're going to scratch the screen with your fingers only.

If you have a case, use it when you're travelling, because if you just put you're Nexus 7 in a bag full of other stuff without any protection, then there's a big chance that it'll actually scratch, otherwise you can use it with or without a case/screen protector.
[Nexus 7 General] chans.best:
I have used 13 months without 1.its still good.i carry it with me to my college evryday in an case.it was droppd two or three times from about 4ft.i am heavey user used it for gaming n reading mostly.only problem without screenguard is annoying figerprints
[Nexus 7 General] ashclepdia:
back when I had my n7, after about 6 months of not using a screen protector and dropping it multiple times, once even off my porch face down into gravel, it only had one very light barely noticeable scratch.

BUT, I also used Swype keyboard. and I noticed something odd after some time. where I swiped in the keyboard area a lot(used it for forums browsing a lot of typing/swiping) it seemed that the "coating" on the screen in that area had worn off. I'm guessing it was some kinda oleophobic(sp??) coating for greasy fingerprints. that area definite looked different than rest of screen. it would get smudges from my finger s there WAY easier than any other area, and if I "steamed" the screen with my breath to get a better wipe clean, you could see that area stood out as different vs rest of the screen.

that's just my experience, others may vary, especially Dependent on how much you use a swipe style keyboard lol
[Nexus 7 General] NEERO:
This is what I use to clean the screen.
[Nexus 7 General] USBhost:
i had my nexus 7 for 1 year and a few months and i never used a screen guard or a case.

no scratches

i play games alot and browse alot.

i dropped it two times
[Nexus 7 General] cadboncopyvw:
I've had mine nearly 2 years and not a single scratch despite being naked. I do use a hard case when travelling though :good:

A guy I work with had a naked one in his coat pocket, fell over a tree root in a dark churchyard (I didn't like to ask too much why) and smashed the screen to smithereens!
[Nexus 7 General] Bl4ckX:
I have mine for about 1 1/2 years now and I never used a screen protector and a case only for a short time. Sadly I dropped it once on the asphalt which it got some scratches on the hull from. But the screen is still in an absolute flawless condition. But the fact that I have my N7 at home for 95% of the time might also saved it from some scratches.
[Nexus 7 General] NEERO:
Mine is almost 99 present time at home, now have been using it without screen guard for 3 days and I have to say that the experience is a lot lot better, the touch is a very nice without screen guard and screen looks a lot more lively, I think I'm gonna keep it like this.

The protection is not worth compromising the experience and as I can see from what you guys say, it's not necessary either.
[Nexus 7 General] lolcopter:
Screen guards drive me crazy, between the loss of touch sensitivity and the potential air bubbles. Stopped using them years ago, over multiple devices, and have yet to regret not using them anymore. Modern electronics are pretty sturdy
[Nexus 7 General] Dark Jedi:
Its like with any glass surface. If you keep abrasive substances away from it then you don't have to worry about scratches. Keep your hands clean and you won't have to worry about scratches. Most scratches on phone screens come from being placed in pants pockets. Why my phone has a protector on it. I do have a protector on my n7 mostly because my son uses my tablet from time to time. My wife has a 2013 n7 and is naked and so far no scratches and that screen is so slick feeling. Almost like your finger is having sex lol. Maybe one day I will take my screen protector off as my son has a tab 2. I just started leaving my case off my n7 as it just stays home mostly.
[Nexus 7 General] jonny68:
Yeah pretty much the same here and it's in good condition
[Nexus 7 General] brizey:
Bought when they announced it at the 2012 IO. Never had a screen guard. Always in a cover-case...just a cheapo poetic. Screen is perfect.

I clean all of my device screens the same way: a few drops of water and a terry cloth or microfiber cloth. The 2012 N7 has a solid front glass so there is no chance of getting the insides wet. I have to be more careful with my S4 and 5s since they have hard home buttons and speaker holes.

(And yes, I have an iPhone for work. My options were an S4 which I already had, an ancient D4 or the 5s. So I got the 5s to have something different.)
[Nexus 7 General] 2shaelib:
I tend to not care. I'd rather enjoy my device than have it all wrapped up in plastic.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] S3Razer:
Hi XDA,

I'm very new to this and despite searching for a long time, I haven't been able to find a solution. I originally rooted using CF-Auto-Root-d2can-d2vl-sghi747m.zip. I'd post the link to the guide but it's an outside link so I can't

and it worked fine.

Now after a while, I lent it out to some friends and they somehow decided to mess up my life by unrooting it through SuperSU. I did not have any other custom rom installed and I barely had a chance to use any of the major root functionality. At this point my warranty ticker is at 1 and I was wondering if it was possible to reroot somehow. I soft-bricked it once by following another guide and trying to load a different rom on it.(Ik Ik Bad Idea) but I was able to enter the stock recovery mode and bring it back to factory settings and it works just fine right now, just no root access.

I would really appreciate some help for this and thanks in advance.

Specs:

Galaxy SIII running stock Koodo Rom Jellybean 4.3

rooted using odin v3.07
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] audit13:
Since your warranty bit is 1, that means you tripped the Knox counter which means your warranty has been voided.

The easiest way to get root would be to flash a pre-rooted ROM via Odin.

Solved

After thinking that I had hard bricked my device, I decided to try flashing the original rom (the one I had flashed it with before it got unrooted) and somehow magically it worked.

Thank you Audit13 once again for helping me figure out what I needed to do to get it working

Now should I use Triangle Away or not? I've heard it is a rather risky application

Thanks

Hello everyone first time joining xda; I have used the site a few times and I love it. I also created an account because of the wonderful community anyways; I seem to be having this really frustrating problem with my Verizon LG G2. I picked up the phone on black Friday and its been absolutely wonderful except for one issue, my WiFi drops signal constantly and I mean almost every 3-15 minutes but the catch is that I have used WiFi at my friends and by that I mean more than a one or two works great at theirs and not mine but at my house and it doesn't and I think this might be a router issue. But I have spent many hours trying to figure out what might be wrong it it helps my router is: Netgear model WNDR3700. I've tried just about everything and would like some smarter help. Thank you for reading! :)

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aarongillion63:
Maybe screenshot those and post them on here? Lol :D

My suggestion is to just get a new router. They're only 30 bucks if you get em used (I mean, NICE ones). I am somewhat router-savvy and I would recommend the D-Link DIR-655 as a replacement. It has OS-independent printer/HDD sharing, website URL blocking (great for blocking ads), time restrictions, logging, wireless N & good range... if you're lucky you'll find one in great condition for about $39 last I checked. Once I got one for $20 off ebay and it had some issues.. so don't do that I guess. :D

I know my suggestion doesn't directly answer your question but it will directly solve your problem. Hope this helps,

Also, another dummy fix is checking which wireless standards you have selected. Surprisingly a lot of android phones are not compatible with independent Wireless-N, make sure you have set up a,b,g,n or b,g,n or even try straight g or straight b if those don't work. On top of that, try changing the wireless frequencies, that is very likely to be your problem.
