Phone: Moto X / KitKat 4.4

Carrier: AT&T (XT1058)

Problem: Mysteriously stopped booting.

Good News: Fastboot is recognized.

Bad News: (bootloader) Flash write failure

Taking this guide as my playbook - http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/kitkat-update-crashed-moto-x-t2535150 I tried to flash on a stock OS. Here's the main spot from the thread I'm working from-

The mission objective is simple: retrieve files off of sdcard and factory reset.

So with my mfastboot (not the android one), I'm trying to flash my stock OS back on so I can get a drive in windows and retrieve sdcard files. Actually, ANY OS back on at this stage of the game will be nice.

Things I have NOT done:

1. rooted the phone, or

2. unlocked the boot loader

If doing these will help, let me know.

So I get my download from sbf.droid-developers.org for 4.4.2 & ATT carrier and unpack the files.

flashing for 'partition' in gpt.bin actually works (yay), but I get the above error ("Flash write failure") for system.img and recovery.img

uh-oh

It seems others with this problem changed cables and USB ports, so I tried that. No dice.

Someone said something about permissions, so I started my command window with administrator privileges, also no luck.

Unless, of course, they meant permissions on the phone side of things? Would that actually help?

So at this juncture if my SDCard died I can go for warranty because I never did any unlocking.

However, if the SDCard can be saved, I am willing to void the warranty and unlock. The data on it is valueable to me and yes a lesson I learned here is I should start using dropbox or equivalent service. Noted.

Should I unlock the phone and try mfastboot flash system system.img, or am I already dead?
[General Questions and Answers] deadphonewalking:
Factory reset doesn't even work, I get "no valid piv block in sp for system"

I just ran mfastboot erase cache and at the command prompt I get:

(bootloader) Failed to erase partition

FAILED: Remote failure

The phone screen says, 'Failed to erase partition cache'

This doesn't sound good.... Is there anyway can get this thing booted?
[General Questions and Answers] deadphonewalking:
Ah, nevermind, it just keeps getting errors flashing everything. Something with the phone itself is seriously wrong.

I've decided to return it. I think my data is lost.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rmontero01:
First... Im new to this site and somewhat new to andriod

I recently purchased note 3 and i love what it can do...additionally, I purchased the gear 2 to match the phone. The problem is, I haven't switch phones yet due to some issues that im not liking.. Coming from an iphone 5s, I like the idea of having that freedom and not being tied down to apples controlling ways however, there may be some rhyme and reason to it?? Anyway, I bought the note 3 in hopes that I can break out of the iphone once and for all... but heres what im facing...

I have 3 email accounts configured on the device

Every time i click on message or I get an email notification, I click on it, it starts loading... the problem is, just to display the inbox takes about 30 seconds to load...once It loads the inbox, I can open the mail with no problem but I noticed a lag.. every time i i switch mail boxes

Battery life sucks!! brand new phone and the battery sucks and I can't figure out why!

The iphone 5s that I have, is really good on battery and i use it check emails on regular...especially my work emails (Exchange)...sometimes go on line check a few things and the phone can last me just about the whole work day without charging!!

I was hoping can do the same on the note 3 but unfortunately, thats not the case.. I've done a test and carried my both phones all day did just about the same tasks and i noticed a significant drop in battery, while the iphone does it effortlessly!

Now, im not hear to bad mouth the note 3... I really want to switch but these things are preventing me from activating the phone...

Everyone that I speak to that has the phone, are all experiencing long battery life and no issues like mine... so im turning to you guys to help me...

My last android phone was the EVO and i had to sell it because the battery life was soo bad, I was carrying two batteries and an extra charger just to prevent it from completely draining.. I had others suggest to me to turn off this and that...eventually my phones was as useless a flip phone. All that power that needs to be constantly charging... I cant have that.

I've even rooted the phone

SM-N900P

Andriod Version 4.4.2

HELP!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rmontero01:
You are officially my new best friend!! I did read everything and I am truly grateful. to answer some questions about the e-mails I use, here are the following:

hotmail.com

aol.com

gmail

and exchange

now I managed to speed up the e-mails by simply removing them all and adding them back again. this process took along time as well as some battery life. you mentioned that you can get 15 - 18 hours of battery life without charging... That is awesome and I honestly can't get that with my iphone.. but I can get at least a full day while im at work which is 8 hours. I'll be happy that I can get a full days charge without having to worry about plugging in the phone. This is another reason why its hard for me to part with the iphone.. I've come to terms with my podcast and I already

At the time of this response.... My iPhone has been keep good charge at 83% since i left the house this more at 8:30 am. However, when I got into work, I decided to turn on the my note 3 and occasionally checked my emails at around 11 am. As of the response, my battery life has been at 65% and that's heavy use... so im suspecting that I have, what i like to describe as crap-ware running in the background. I feel that once I have my note running solid with the battery life lasting and I don't have to worry about it, I will switch with no hesitation.

The reason why im so particular, its because I use my phone for emails especially for work. So I have to be in constant contact. This reminds me of an old commercial that saw before with a guy showing his exotic sports car at a gas station, as he reved his up to show up, his gas tank would empty out... Thats how i feel about the note 3, I have fancy phone but im afraid to use because im afraid that I will use use up my battery before I even get home.

Yes, you are right, the iphone requires little to now tweaking.. which is my case but of course im restricted unless I jailbreak the phone..

You mentioned roms... Unfortunately, I am completely new to this and have no clue how it works except on emulators for games... So i need help on this... I have the basic understanding of rooting and I was able to do it on the note 3, so i can safely say, my phone is rooted.

I'm desperately looking to switch..... I just want to perform well and keep a good battery life.

My wife's s5... works excellent right out of the box.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelio_o:
Hello, I have been trying to unlock the bootloader on my Z2 for a couple of hours now with no luck. I am stuck. This is what I get when I input my unlock code.

C:\fastboot>fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xMYKEYGOTFROMSONY

...

FAILED (remote: Command did not succeed)

finished. total time: 0.021sWhat could be wrong? Is there anyway to get more debug information to see why it's failing?

I have verified that ADB is turned on, plus the pc reads the phone when I use fastboot, I even tried using flashtool and get stuck in the same place, with the same error. any suggestions?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olafs93:
Have you checked if you got unlockable bootloader?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelio_o:
Yeah. It's a go there
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelio_o:
Anyone? Btw does unknown sources have to be checked before this or no?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanley08:
Try turning on USB debugging in Developer options in Settings and see.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelio_o:
Already did that, all my fastboot, adb commands work, which is why im at a lost here. seriously pissed off lol, watch it be something simple
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harrymason37:
You have wrong unlocking code. Check carefully the codes(it's case sensitive so follow it how it is written), check if your phone is allowed to unlock bootloader (*#*#7378423#*#*) if not, then there is no way
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelio_o:
Bootloader unlock is allowed. This is driving me mad. Even tried a different laptop. Manually typed the code.....adb, fastboot, commands all work
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Cole:
Just to clarify... You are actually typing in your key when typing in the command?

Like, replacing the "MYKEYGOTFROMSONY" part of "C:\fastboot>fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xMYKEYGOTFROMSONY" with your key?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stanley08:
Also ensure you are not mixing 0 with O. There are diff. Btw, copy and past the codes only. No manual typing. Let's see. :)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harrymason37:
Then it is only in your code, try to request another code, make sure your imei is correct
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fidelio_o:
Yeah I was doing everything correctly. Just requested a different code and that worked just fine.....not sure what was going on lol. Thanks for the

ideas.

[Networking] cooldude585:
Hi guys,

Well I have searched everywhere and found nothing.

Well my college has wifi but it uses a proxy to access the internet.

So in Internet explorer on my desktop/laptop there is a direct option in the lan settings to specify a proxy ip and prot.

how do i do the same for my xda2s running 5.0.

thanks
[Networking] ugenldorji:
Hello,

The way to go about doing this is to set up a proxy server under Start> Setings>Connections>Connections. Under My Work Network, select "Set Up My Proxy Server" and check the boxes for "This Network connects to the internet" and "this network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet". Click on the "advanced" setting which should open up a window where you can choose your proxy port and enter your port address & numbers. Note when using pass through or any other connection that doesnt use the same proxy, make sure you turn your proxy port settings off (by unchecking the "this NW uses proxy port" check box). I hope this solves your problem.
[Networking] christopherwoods:
Alternatively, a solution I've found which works is to use Opera Mobile - you can specify an HTTP and/or HTTPS proxy to use (in the form of hostname/ip:port) and then when you connect it just asks you to authenticate against it and boom: you're good to go.

No more faffing about with My Work Network, half the time I could never get connectivity with my Alpine when I did it like that (which meant it tried to dial up to the GPRS)... However if I'm not using Opera for one reason or another, I will use the My Work Network method with my TyTn. Both ways work just as well, I just think the Opera solution is neater because you can just set all your wifi networks as 'connects to the Internet'.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
I read on a thread that this specific battery will lose a percentage of its capacity every time it's charged below 20% or above 80%, is this true? & if so or if not then what is the best way to charge the battery in this phone without deteriorating it?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Evocm7:
Everyone has their own opinion on this. Draining it below 10-20% could shorten the overall lifespan but I doubt the 80% or higher part you read is true. I personally charge mine every couple days and I'll still have about 30-40% left. I don't usually let it go lower than that. Rechargeable batteries like to be charged and killing them can damage them. Like a car battery, if it runs dead several times, it will most likely be ruined much earlier than if it wasn't ran dead. Just keep above 20% to be safe. Everyone's opinion of lowest percent is different.

[XDA Assist] HellToFire:
Ok so I am unsure if someone is filtering out OLD topics but i keep coming across FORUM posts from people and it seems like they are getting no help or being referred to NON existent topics.

I just recently bought a HTC ONE M8 H/K from sprint. I have had android for a decade and am seriously tired of the ROOT it people. so I figured why not no down falls and everyone says it is easy. Well I am Murphy last name law and you people have not seen or know the things I am about to post :)

I recently spent over 32 hours watching video and preparing for ROOTING. I unlocked phone got Pilz touch recovery and everything worked fine. I even got CWM and SUPERSU and Busy box. all of which needed OTHER files to work properly. Again a few forced quits everything was fine.

I wanted to Switch to TWRP and the install didnt go through. however now I have BOOTloop. trust me this is the tip of the berg at this point.

Just short of finding NO help after another 24hrs binge session on the CPU and just shy of RUNNING MY PHONE OVER WITH A DAMN CAR>

I get oh so simple easy fix and the only posts I see are FIXED IT!!! so that helps me approximately as much as my phone helps me make phone calls currently.

After the boot loop SEVERAL friends versed in this so called ROOTING (which I still find to be a hoax and not actually possible by any means at this point and time.) and no one has any clue. Tried flashing ROMS RUU's everything comes back to NO will not work.

Then it brings me to the STOCK RUU config for the HK M8 which seemed like it was going to work through ADB flash but guess what. 2 hrs idle NOTHING. after that The recovery program dropped out and boot loader only stated RUU in the menu. (something never before logged in a forum or post as I can tell) after many attempts to do GOD KNOWS WHAT WITHOUT ANSWERS as i was about to smash my beautiful gold phone into a dozen tiny peices and claim accident the Recovery came back to...... You guessed it NOTHING. All directories are UNMOUNTED and cannot be mounted.

I am stuck. Seriously you all fix my phone or help i am willing to send gifts because I am out 700$ now on this nice paperweight but everything and everyone tells me. OH SO SIMPLE you have recovery it aint no thang.

Well guess what it is and I am tired of being so PISSED OFF for something that was so automated.

Again I am Murphy and what you attempt to get me to follow will come up with some REALLY weird repercussions I will post back.

Please oh mighty gods of ruining my life. Spare me this one thing I will never ask for another again.

How do I get my phone to just WORK, Simple. Right?

Hi there! I think I found a thread that can get you back on track. Please read every word carefully and follow every step. If you have further trouble or want to clarify anything, please ask in the thread. They know the device best and can help you I'm sure.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2503646

I'm afraid that is the extent of what we do in the XDA Assist Section. We are guides...pointing people in the right direction when they can't find what they are looking for. Unfortunately we don't do hands on support in this section, so as I said....if you need a further hand, I am sure someone in the thread I linked can help.

And make sure anything you download and flash is for your model. And as always, do a Nandroid backup in recovery... before flashing anything new....it can be a lifesaver to help restore you when you hit trouble.

Good luck! :)
[XDA Assist] HellToFire:
Details

Let me re iterate.

All guides are demanding S-Off (cannot as I cannot acess phone apps to do so)

All guides need HOME access for apps to modify certain things

I cannot:

Push packet through adb as they are unreadable

Get past boot screen

Recovery is only 40% operational with visibilty of phone only working sometime.

Cannot flash

Cannot push

Cannot fastboot

Cannot see device on CPU as it is stuck in recovery

ALL DIRECTORIES in /SDCARD have been removed

No Firmware

No RUU

No img

As far as I can tell.....Phone is empty and cannot be populated with anythin. I did manage to get SuperSu pushed through and installed. But how do I open it?

No ROOT access as well in the recovery.

I followed ALL STEPS of EASY guides even downloaded one button app that runs it all for me. Can't talk to phone does not see it in ADB.

The other guide I went to was helpful but I have already attempted all of those things.

With an empty phone NO DATA and no ability to get ADB to even run data over cable I am baffled.

I did exactly like the 500 guides i read said.

1) bootlock unlock

2)instal recovery (Philzmod)

3) get CWM (retrieved from playstore) Need a .zip to run in ADB

Phone worked fine until I changed from Philz mod to TWRP which never took place. Philz mod still runs but TWRP said it installed.

Now I have a completely worthless empty phone and I have cried about a tub worth of tears over the 700 i will be dropping over the next year for a piece of metal.

Oh and 99.9% of time if ADB DOES do something either no directory once pushed, cannot read or cannot FIND/Open directory stating BAD installation aborted I NEED a better recovery

I'm working at a school environment. We are using WPA 2 enterprise to authenticate ourselfs on the network. The chromecast as today don't have support for that. We are using a lot of Chromebooks. Any other solution for casting the Chromebook screen on such a environment?

iOS 8 will have such a function.

We have thousands of Chromebooks. We want the students to be able to present there screen / chrome on the projector.

Our network environment is WPA 2 enterprise. We are radius authenticating the users that are using our network.

Any ideas? Except changing network environment. As I said earlier so the iOS 8 have addressed the issue and is solving in on there apple to with iOS 8

[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Well I definitely wouldn't change the network environment for Chromecast...

If you can get a separate WiFi for Chromecast, then Vbukit may be an option as the sender and receiver don't need to be on the same nework. You will still need one device on the same network as Chromecast so you can launch the Vbukit for Chromecast app, which will show the QR code on the screen.

But to be honest, unless you've already made a large investment in Chromecasts, I feel like it's not the best solution for this application.

Even if you did get Chromecast on the network, because it's designed for home use and there is no use authentication, any student on the same WiFi network will be able to take control of Chromecast, leaving a huge potential for accidental or malicious interruption.

Vbukit is more controlled, but I would lean toward hooking up another Chromebook directly to the projector and have the students share screen to it via a Lync, Skype or TeamViewer "call-in." The lecturer would have to accept the "call" in this case, but it does provide accountability and avoids interruption.
[Google Chromecast] cowsick:
I will take a look at the vbukit solution.

About students interruption during å cast. That we need to handle somehow. But that's another storie and up the the teachers to handle.

About doing a call in and split screen it's to complicated for the most teachers and students. To many steeps.

As the apple TV is now looking at enterprise needs perhaps the chromecast will to at the next IO if that vbukit solution isn't useful för us.

[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Yeah, maybe a next-generation Chromecast, but I really don't see it happening with the current Chromecast. Like screen sharing is too difficult for your students and teachers, WPA2 Enterprise is too difficult for home users. ;)
[Google Chromecast] Asphyx:
Not sure but if you can get one of those chromebooks to share an Internet connection and act as a CCast AP you might be able to work out your issues....

I am however unfamiliar with Chromebooks and what they are capable of....
