[Moto E Original Android Development] LeiraHoward:
Thank you for your work on developing this.

Now to request some assistance. :) Note: I am using the mfastboot-v2 file (extracted) referenced here.

I have two Moto E devices. Both XT1021 devices, Global GSM, bought in the USA. The bootloaders have been unlocked on both using Motorola's unlock process.

But there the similarity ends. One is black and one is white.

The black one (Device #1) was able to boot into TWRP 2.7.0.1 and then install SuperSU to root the device without any issues. Worked like a charm!

The white one (Device #2) is unable to boot or to flash TWRP 2.7.0.1.

This is what occurs: from a command prompt, I type

mfastboot boot recovery-twrp.img

then on the command prompt window, I get on the computer

downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.250s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.234s]
finished. total time: 0.499s

but the phone hangs on a screen with the Motorola M logo.

I have also attempted to flash TWRP (instead of just booting it) using the command

mfastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img

which appears to work on the computer, with the message

target max-sparse-size: 256MB
sending 'recovery' (7300 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.250s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.811s]
finished. total time: 1.061s

but gave me an error message on the phone:

mismatched partition size (recovery)

. And did NOT actually put TWRP on the phone.

The Moto E DOES show up if I use the command

mfastboot devices

, and I was able to flash the logo (to get rid of that annoying unlocked bootloader message), so I assume communication is not an issue.

I've seen a suggestion to completely restore stock firmware for similar issues, and after trying everything else, I did go ahead and restore to stock using the instructions here. The restore process worked perfectly, but I was still unable to boot or flash TWRP. (Same results as before.)

The thing that confuses me is why two devices, supposedly exactly the same other than the color, would have such different results. I did check the specs and version numbers from within the system and found no differences.

There is ONE difference I found on the stock bootloader screen.

Device #1 (black, twrp boot worked) has the line "eMMC: 4GB Hynix RV=06 PV=05 TY=17"

Device #2 (white, twrp not working) has the line "eMMC: 4GB Toshiba RV=06 PV=51 TY=17"

Also, internal storage amounts are listed as 2.16GB for Device #1, but 2.21GB for Device #2

I don't know if those would make any difference whatsoever for TWRP purposes, but after trying to find ANY rhyme or reason to why one works and the other doesn't, I figured I'd post that info just in case.

Any assistance in figuring out what is going on here would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
[Moto E Original Android Development] Hetalk:
That is one awesome problem report.

Size mismatch shouldn't be a issue here. I get it when flashing recovery, as well.

There's a cwm recovery for our device as well. You might want to try that one and see if it works.
[Moto E Original Android Development] LeiraHoward:
Thanks. I've got extensive experience in tech support (back to DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.0) but am a relative newcomer to Android devices. Please pardon the question, but what is cwm and where would I find it? (I did search the forum for cwm within the Moto E threads but my search results did not find anything that looked promising.) Thanks!
[Moto E Original Android Development] Hetalk:
Cwm is another custom recovery.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2793625
[Moto E Original Android Development] LeiraHoward:
Thanks. I have now solved the problem. Or at least gotten my device rooted, which was the end goal.

If anyone else has the same issue, I found a thread that details the workaround here. It is basically a three step process that includes flashing CWM first and then doing the SuperUser install and then putting TWRP on. I don't know why that worked when just putting TWRP on didn't. VERY strange. But then, that's life.

Problem solved.

[Moto E Original Android Development] Hetalk:
Happy to hear that you were able to solve it. :good:
[Moto E Original Android Development] cybojenix:
Glad it was sorted. I've handled this issue over irc a few times now. Not sure what causes it but sometimes fastboot doesn't seem to always work. I've just had them shut down the phone, boot it directly to the bootloader, and be patient when booting to recovery.
[Moto E Original Android Development] DAVI FELICIANO:
How to boot into twrp without flashing it?(I dont want lose my stock recovery to lose OTAs)

(Sorry my bad english)
[Moto E Original Android Development] Deadly:
There is no temporary twrp, its permanent change until you flash stock again.

So i need flash them and if i want go back i need flash the stock rom?

(Sorry my bad english)
[Moto E Original Android Development] Deadly:
You can flash stock recovery which is in stock firmware. Full stock rom flash wont be needed

Anyone flashed TWRP after the 4.4.4 OTA update in XT1022...

Is everything working finne and TWRP sticking after flashing??? :confused:
[Moto E Original Android Development] TheMaker01:
I tried to flash both CWM and TWRP but failed to do so

its showing this message on PC ..

and Mismatch Partition on condor ..

:confused::confused::confused:
[Moto E Original Android Development] :
Mismatch partition size error is ok and can be ignored...

BTW, did ya install TWRP on 4.4.2 before???

Is this error occuring only after the OTA???

Did you unlock your BOOTLOADER???
[Moto E Original Android Development] TheMaker01:
Yup unlocked bootloader..

And I know that that message doesn't leads to anything..

And I was using twrp on 4.4.2 and have nandroid backup as well..

I flashed logo.Bin to fix that annoying message of bootloader.

I hope this helps..
[Moto E Original Android Development] magicw:
but t.b.h. what has flashing recovery to do with a ROM update? I wonder why this should not work unless the bootloader also was exchanged during this OTA-update.
[Moto E Original Android Development] Deadly:
I dont believe its been affected at all. It was just 1 member saying that. I havent rooted yet after update. Will have to do tomorrow. But it should work fine as you gave reason yourself.
[Moto E Original Android Development] DarkSideTT:
[MENTION=4584140]cybojenix[/MENTION] Works perfectly in XT1025 too :D
[Moto E Original Android Development] DAVI FELICIANO:
yeah i confirmed fully working on XT1025 like DarkSideTT say

(Sorry my bad english)
[Moto E Original Android Development] TheMaker01:
Me too thinking the Same but its doesn't works at least in my case ..;)

i hope solution will be found soon ...:laugh:

and in India who upgrading there device to 4.4.4 they will get this error soon when they try flash TWRP or CWM ..:confused:

and then this issue may gets confirm ...:D:D

Hey [MENTION=5069881]DarkSideTT[/MENTION] did you upgraded your device to 4.4.4. ...??

and is flashed TWRP after upgrading or flashed the OTA file by TWRP with some modfication in Updater-Script..?:confused:

Its Upto you my bro to believe or not ..

but this issue soon going to be arise more when more guys will try to flash ..

in india who have got the update Either they yet not tried to flash TWRP Or they have not yet Upgraded to 4.4.4..:D
[Moto E Original Android Development] DarkSideTT:
i Have 4.4.3, i read about this new bootloader and i not updated my phone to 4.4.4
[Moto E Original Android Development] TheMaker01:
So Guys i Just figure out whats the problem was :laugh:

Now feel free to Upgarde to 4.4.4.:D:D

[MENTION=5879883]g33kparineeti[/MENTION] Now you go ahead and upgrade ...:good:

The Actual problem was bootloader .

i dont know how it could be bcoz i flashed logo.bin and it accepted but was not accepting recovery image file ..:confused:

so thought that bootloader won't be an issue but it was .

so those who are in trouble just re-unlock the Bootloader and you are good to flash TWRP or whatever you want :cowboy:

NOTE:-can re-unlock the bootloader with same key which you received before .No more need of Motorola's website
[Moto E Original Android Development] Deadly:
I flashed TWRP and then opened recovery and it was fine. When i selected reboot option, It Gave option to root, i selected it and after booting to system i had root access. Same thing which i had done first time. Nothing changed here. Besides this was just a minor bug fix update along with few apk changes. I dont see how it affects twrp. But, either way nothing has changed at my end.
[Moto E Original Android Development] Hetalk:
I did upgrade to 4.4.4 yesterday night and was unable to flash twrp, as well.

I guess ota does lock boot loader again, at least in some cases.

I'll try unlocking and respond back,if it works.
[Moto E Original Android Development] :
Thanks for sorting this out...

Will test and report back ASAP.... :good:

[MENTION=4584140]cybojenix[/MENTION] After updating XT1022 to 4.4.4 OTA, TWRP does not stick after boot....

Flashed TWRP, booted and rebooted to recovery and OMG, its the stock recovery back again... :(

Tested by me... I'm using v2.7.1.0 from goo.im mirror...

Any idea what may be causing this??? :confused:

Sorry mate....

Owe you an apology... :o

And thanks for being the 1st one to point this out... :good:

[MENTION=5150993]TheMaker01[/MENTION] thanks for the help... :good:

Have you flashed TWRP and is it sticking after reboot??? Please confirm...

I had checked my bootloader and found my device status is unlocked....

Still went forward with unlocking the device and found the reply in cmd prompt that my device is already unlocked.... :eek:

Then flashed TWRP and see above what happened...

[MENTION=4278473]Hetalk[/MENTION] What problem you were facing with TWRP after the OTA???

Were you unable to flash TWRP or TWRP is not stickig after boot???

[MENTION=4748455]Deadly[/MENTION] I have also rooted this way successfully after the OTA...

But can you please confirm whether the TWRP is still sticking there after the device boots???

Please reboot into recovery and confirm...

Mine got replaced by stock recovery after boot... :mad:

Thanks to all concerned for the help and extensive testing... :angel:
[Moto E Original Android Development] Deadly:
As I said earlier, nothing unusual here. Everything working just how it used to. Twrp is fine even after 2 reboots. No recovery replacement or any of such issue at my end.
[Moto E Original Android Development] gaurav2009:
I don't know how twrp sticks on ur phone but it doesn't on mine and btw how did u upgrade to 4.4.4??...by setting>system update or u flashed zip file in twrp??

[MENTION=5879883]g33kparineeti[/MENTION] np
[Moto E Original Android Development] Deadly:
Normal ota update.

Checked under settings update. Then downloaded and updated.

I had to flash stock system partition and recovery before updating though. As I had changed them. But apart from that did nothing special.

TWRP is sticking after flashing it the 2nd time... :highfive:

This is after I installed SuperSU from TWRP the 1st time... :victory:

Is there a solution yet?
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] tsimitpo:
I've been looking for a way to clear or disable the Timeline myself with no success. Perhaps Timeline items go away only when you move the files off the device(?)...
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] otyg:
Unfortunately the "My Files" "Timeline" content is actually controlled by another process called "Media Storage" (this process scans all the files on the device looking for pictures, music, and other content then it builds a database so the system or apps such as music players can quickly find the content, it usually runs on boot-up and can update occasionally.

The only way to clear (or temporary clear) the timeline content is to clear the "Media Storage" database, by clicking "Force stop" and "Clear data" on the Media Storage process, though if you do this it will just rescan again eventually, and if you turn it off or prevent it from scanning you can loose access to your ringtones / alarms and other system sounds , also any music files on the device as a lot of applications use this service (otherwise everything would need to scan the memory card ./ memory for files causing increased cpu overhead and device lags....)...

See screenshots.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] tsimitpo:
Thanks a ton, otyg! It's not an ideal solution, but it's better than nothing. I mostly wanted to clear the Timeline data and start it over, and this does seems to do that.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] Wizzard2014:
Figured it out

Plug tablet into the computer. Rename the folder that you don't want showing up with a '.' in front of it. I.e. "Adult" to ".Adult".

Then install Astro File manager, change the settings so that you can view hidden folders. And then you can still access the folder from the tablet, but will not show up in Timeline or the stock file manager.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] otyg:
you might also be-able to add a .nomedia file to the folder too this is supposed to prevent the media scanner from scanning the folder contents, though it doesn't work on all devices and I haven't tested it with timeline. or samsung yet., thought I would throw it out there if anyone wants to test.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] sherrouse:
At this time it's still unclear if you can hide items or completely remove the from the recent items list, with out moving every little file and or download and the list will only repopulate as you continue to download or add files. Just tap the added date above each subsection and collapse each individual section. While this isn't a permanent fix and the list will repopulate once you reopen the My Files app, it's only a minor inconvenience for someone who uses the app occasionally. View attachment 3252222

[General Questions and Answers] mystic.bertie:
Hey Guys.

I got my daughter a new Moto G with android 4.4. She has her tablet for main internet and app use. I intend to edit the mobile internet details so she cant access the internet away from home. I also want to restrict certain apps and websites and in general, make sure she does not come across any unsavory websites.

I read a couple of tutorials but that involved setting your own phone for a child to use. So is there a way of setting the phone to do what i need or is there an app, free or pad that will do what i want.

One that I would suggest is Funamo, it does everything you want, but costs $20 for a license after the 2 day trial.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anapr:
I got my nexus 5 for almost 2 weeks now and I am still thinking why does my nexus consumes a lot of memory, most of the apps that I have are social apps and a few photography apps but it consumes almost 1.5 gb of my ram and when I look at the process stats it shows that there was a time that my memory went to a super low status ( correct me if I am wrong about this one) please see my attached photos from my nexus 5. My nexus 5 is still on its stock rom and not rooted yet.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
This is precisely what memory is for. Memory stores the processes and services you use regularly to allow them to be retrieved quickly when you need them. It's very normal to have over 1.5 used. It's lower when you reboot as those processes haven't run yet buy as soon as they do, they'll fill memory.

When you're memory is close to "full", Android starts killing the processes to maintain optimum levels.

If your memory is empty , it's useless. There's nothing wrong here
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anapr:
thank you for the explanation :) that gave me a clearer understanding about the android's ram.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
Yep my nexus 4 is the opposite. The memory never goes above 1gb. As soon it starting reaching 1gb; it starts killing processes. I am happy nexus 5 uses it all the way.
[G2 General] Slimer777:
Did this a long time ago but keep forgetting to post it. I am not sure if it works on the other variants of the G2 since I did the calibration on a D802 international version. Did it with an i1Pro.

Some charts for comparison and parameters to follow;

Greyscale and Gamma Comparison

Advance Color Gamut Comparison

(Before)

(After)

In Trickster Mod, go to 'Screen' and enter Red =255, Green =245 and Blue = 230. This corrects the greyscale to 6500K and also manage to lower the overall dE of the color gamut.

I am pretty sure some people will say that they can't see the difference, but you will.:highfive:
[G2 General] erto90:
With what kernel do we need to are?

And again, i dont think that all display are calibrated in same way!

Btw, this make also black more black?
[G2 General] Slimer777:
Kernel is Dorimanx V2.4 and Android version 4.2.2 Stock Rom.

ALL D802 coming out of LG is calibrated to a tight tolerance so they are all pretty close. I can't say for the other variants but I would say if they use the same display, they should be very close. At least mine performs the same as the ones on the review sites.:good:

By the way, this is a single point greyscale adjustment and it does not affect the black point. Although from the gamma point of view it is a tiny bit darker in the 10%.
[G2 General] erto90:
Ok thanks for this information!

I suggest to keep up the work to always find the best calibration,

Maybe with users resultsnand settings!

Hmm maybe should have elaborated :). I do like the colder blue stuff more. Got used to it. Same as I hate yellow lightbulbs... all cold at the house :).

Just that the setting is not much for me. Knowing that the warmer colors are more natural and better for eyesight I choose the dangerous way of cold white blue :P

Anything under 255 blue is already yellow for me on my screen

Can you use anything else besides trickster to do this?
[G2 General] buenarc:
I suggest to keep up the work to always find the best calibration,

[G2 General] Slimer777:
This is about all that we can do for now unless some developers can discover the other parameters that control color saturations. Nexus 5 has some of these tweaks but not the G2 ..... yet.

The human eyes tend to think that white is whiter with a tint of blue and that is why most phones out of the factory has a color temperature of 7000K+. The parameters on the 1st page will yield a color temperature of standard 6500K.
[G2 General] xanthrax:
Hi slim, do you know a terminal command that can trigger this values which can be converted on a script?

You know, for those who don't want to use trickster

Sent from my Darkside of LG G2
[G2 General] xlr8me:
I have discovered something.

I use lux lite.

In the settings mode there is a night/astro mode.

If you go in there you can adjust color temp but you but only when you select night mode.

Make sure you tick that box then adjust it and then detick it.

It then sets a unique colour change of the display.

Slim can you try it and tell me what temp is equivalent to your calibrated value?

Ps-my whites are really white and excellent contrast at about 5626k on that setting in lux lite.
[G2 General] Slimer777:
I don't know you can do it with terminal command but if you just want to avoid using trickster, you can try to download one of Faux123's app like Advance Color and Gamma Control. Yes, that is designed for Nexus 4 and yes it is not supposed to work on the G2 but yes, you can input those values through this app and it will stick as long as you don't reboot. I think Faux123 has a similar app for the Nexus 5 but I never tried. I think it will work as least for the RGB part.
[G2 General] xanthrax:
Oh sure it works, I tried them both but I was thinking to use a script

I'll check, thanks

Sent from my Darkside of LG G2
[G2 General] Slimer777:
I tried it out, it works to a certain degree but since it only provide a 'color temperature' slider your result will not be as good as the ones that have full RGB control. If I don't have a choice and must go for software tune then I would just download the screen-filter in Playstore instead.

I did not measure it but your values should be okay since the original LG setting is only about 500-600K off.

I don't think would be much difficult ( attention, I'm not able to do that but I know something about scripting)

Also with a simple task with tasker should be done, or,in few time, an easy and ugly app should be enought

the important is to have a compatible kernel that trig the script..

Maybe some developers out there can find out what other color parameters are hidden and make an app for us! ;) Just like the color control for Nexus 5.
