[Moto X Q&A] danger2u:
hi to all

i want to know if there is any way to unlock a Moto X on Republic Wirelles to work with other carriers.

i want to use it in Italy or in Europe in general.

can be unlocked the bootloader and make root?

it on 4.2.2

thank u all
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
You cannot unlock the bootloader, regardless of version, unless you go through the China Middleman. Republic Wireless does not allow Moto to release unlock codes for the RW XT1049.

Additionally, no sim-unlock 'exploit' has been found yet, and RW will not allow SIM-Unlocking either. (Even if you do get the BL unlocked)

Because Republic Wireless subsidized the prices of their phone, they will not allow you to use them on another carrier. Currently there is no way to SIM-Unlock for either domestic OR international use.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.... You may consider selling your RW Moto X on swappa, and buying the GSM Unlocked version.

Good Luck
[Moto X Q&A] danger2u:
thank u for ur response.

u was very clear.

well i must buy an unlocked one,instead an Republic one.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wardozer9:
I just got an HTC Thunderbolt to use as a dedicated media player and am wondering, what is going to be the best rom for this?

What I don't need in a rom:

Voice

Data

Bluetooth

Camera

What I need in a rom:

As long of a battery life as I can get

Compatibility with MX Player

Compatibility with PowerAmp

Compatibility with Dolphin Broswer HD

Compatibility with YouTube

Compatibility with TextFree

Basically, I do not need to ever use the phone on any kind of service and if I do text on it it'll be thru TextFree.

Another thing I would like to know is what all can safely be stripped out of a rom for one of these to lighten the load. I don't need any app support other than MX Player, Poweramp, Dolphin Browser HD, YouTube and TextFree. Any components needed for anything else can go.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ophilar:
Hi

I got my phone repaired by replacing the flash memory module, and been told that I should not upgrade it, factory reset it or anything like it - or it will not connect to the cell network.

Are these restrictions necessary?

I understand the modem is tied somehow to the flash memory, and should not be replaced. Will using cm-installer write a new modem or it should install a fully function cm11?

I couldn't find any existing answer since searching "flash memory" brings up results for "flash" as in ROM flashing ..

*** no mate, no way to hide apps in stock launcher, on stock unrooted device ***

On rooted device you can hide them using Xposed modules.

Only way to hide icons you don't need in app drawer is to use another laucher.

If you want something similar to Xperia Home launcher you can use Advanced Xperia Launcher - it's quite similar to stock launcher but it has many advanced options...

Hey guys.

Might get this phone. Was wondering if anybody has the OtterBox preserver series case for it. I have the S4 and it has the Seidio Obex case on it which uses actual flaps to hold the front and back together. This makes it virtually impossible to separate from an impact. The way i saw the Preserver case seems as if they simply snap together. Does this make it easy to come apart when dropped?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iantung329:
I know I am stupid, but I am trying to just get this phone to work. I did try and search for something that would come close to what I am encountering, but so far I can't find anything that would suggest a possible workaround. So, I hope this is in line with the rules, if not, please let me know and I will remove this myself pronto.

I was on 4.3 (MK2), rooted with TWRP and installed Xposed, all was fine and well, until AT&T decided to attack my phone to "remind" me to update to a newer version. After a few weeks I finally gave in, and knowing that I have somewhat heavily modified this phone, I went ahead and disable and uninstall Xposed, then head on to try and flash NC1 onto this phone via TWRP 3.72.

I was following this post, using post#3, and all was well, expect when I tried to flash AP using Odin, it was late and I failed to catch the fact Odin didn't connect my phone, so I guess the kernel didn't update. Then I went ahead and try booting it up. It got to the AT&T globe logo, only it has orange strips instead of blue. I waited maybe 15 mins for it to boot, and upon thinking it is not working, I pulled the battery and went into recovery and found I had a very early version backup, which I then restored that. It did boot! But the wifi wouldn't turn on, so I went and checked, the baseband was on NC1, but everything else is at MK2 (4.3). At that point, I give up and went to bed.

This morning, after giving it some good thoughts and research, I tried to Odin again, and this time I succeed, Odin recognizes my phone, and it flash the AP as it should. But when I try boot it up, it would only get to "safestrap disabled" and then black screen. After that, I can only get into the custom recovery, but no matter what I try, full/advance wipe, install, it would show something like "E: cannot mount system" so no matter what ROM I downloaded, it would not install, and when I try and re-boot, it would warn me that there is " No System"

So my question now is: since I can still see and access recovery, not all hope is lost, but since this is a work phone, I do need it back up and running, and I need it fast. How should I proceed from here? I tried straight flash a GPE ROM from here, but it would still run into the error of "E: cannot mount system" and trying to wipe/advance wipe would not work either.

If anyone has any idea what kind of problems I am running into, I am all ears to hear and try my best to get my work phone back up and running. Thank you all for taking you time to read, think and maybe help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Are you sure you have Safestrap 3.72? It should be working if you do. Either way, try flashing the MK2 AP file/kernel from the downgrade thread or the KitKat Toolkit. That should guarantee it mounts and then you can try again. If that doesn't work, you might just have to ODIN NB1 and start from the downgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iantung329:
I am now just trying to boot up the phone to check, and right now it is stuck at the Samsung Custom lock (white). So I guess either Odin NB1 or MK2 and start from there?

The only thing I think its odd is, it keeps telling me that it can't mount the system, and I can't for the live of me figure why that would even happen....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sway8966:
If you had not taken the OTA from AT&T your phone bootloader is still on MK2.

Did you flash NC1 before or after you received OTA from AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iantung329:
I was not able to take the OTA from AT&T, due to that it was rooted and Xposed, so somehow the system check would backfire. When I got the phone, it was on MK2, and I only rooted it and installed custom recovery, for I only need to be able to delete some stuff at will, thus, the root access.

Actually, since I can't boot pass the Samsung custom lock, is it still possible to use Odin? I would have thought Odin would not recognize the phone since it is not on.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
It will still work, ODIN requires you to hold one of the volume buttons while powering on to go into download mode on the phone which doesn't require booting to system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iantung329:
OK, so just tried Odin it using the files from Deadly Venom Kitkat Magic Tool. Odin caught the phone alright, but after the files are lined up (the mk2 ones), it give me the following:

Get PIT for mapping..

There is no PIT partition

All threads completed. (succeed 0/ failed 1)

And of course, the top also showed FAIL!

Any suggestions? Try going directly to NB1 and downgrade from there?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iantung329:
So after an all-night, I finally got it back up and running. Here is what I did, in case someone runs into the same problem.

I grabbed the MK2 file here, un-zip it, Odin it to its respective slots, and then flash it. It took over 10 mins, but it did finish the flash, and Odin showed "PASS!"

So, now I have another question, I booted it up like when it first came in the box, so went through and did all the setup. I went into setting, and I see the following:

Android version: 4.3

Baseband: I337-MK2

Kernel: signed Sat Nov 16 14:33:13 KST 2013

Build #: JSS-MK2

So if I want to do this upgrade to 4.4.2/4.4.3 again, would I consider my phone as stock MK2 that has not been tried to upgrade to 4.4.2/4.4.3? I did try and confirmed that I don't have root (obviously), so I guess I have to treat this phone as if it never took any updates/modifications? Then I would ask which route to follow to ensure the best and most confirm result of upgrading to either 4.4.2/4.4.3.

Thanks all for your thoughts on how to de-bug this. :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sway8966:
Yes your phone is stock MK2.

I do not know about 4.4.3 but you can find many 4.4.2 custom rom in the developer section.

First you need to root the phone. You can get the required files and instruction from here.

Second, you need to install the custom recovery. Since you are on MK2 you need to use Safestrap version 3.71. You can get the file and instructions here.

Once you have rooted and finish installing the SS (safestrap) you can find the custom rom in the developer section. Find the roms with SS option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iantung329:
Sway8966, thank you for saving my behind more than once. :p

I will be following your instruction as to rooting the phone and also install custom recovery. However, if you see my first post, it seems I need to first install SS 3.71 to root, then SS 3.72 to upgrade to NB1/NC1? I will take a safe bet that I can't just use SS 3.72 to avoid brick. Also, that GPE version ROM, I had trouble finding the kernel, would there be a place to find it? Or is it in the package? I un-zipped it, but can't find the file that looks like the kernel in it.

Thanks again. :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sway8966:
iantung329 I am glad to help you out.

You do not need to install SS recovery first to root the phone. Rooting is done by using the adb command to push the super user in the system area.

Since you are in a MK2 firmware/bootloader Safestrap 3.71 is the only one you can use.

Also your bootloader is MK2 so I would not go to install the NB1/NC1 system file on your phone. SS 3.72 is for the NB1/NC1.

To upgrade your phone to 4.4.2 OS you can find the custom rom packages (including the kernel) in here.

Bootloader MK2 and above can not use the custom kernel since there is no exploit for the kernel out so far. So you need to choose the TOUCHWIZ rom with SS version, not AOSP (Android open-source project) rom.

We are not supposed to tell you which rom to choose because people might not have similar taste or expectation in the choice of rom. Read around and choose the rom that you want.

If you'd asked me, I use Golden Eye rom. I am on NC1. You can see that in my signature section.

I will tell you how I installed the Golden eye rom as an example.

I download the package (zip file), my NC1 stock kernel file and superSU file.

Using the safestrap I installed the package zip file. After the installation finished I installed the NC1 kernel file and SuperSU file. Then I reboot my phone. That is. Other roms might have different instructions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
As sway said, you do not need Safestrap to root, you just use Saferoot and you have root. However, you can actually use SS 3.72 and it would be better to use it since you can then mount /system even while on a 4.4.2 kernel. You can also use the single GPE located in the general section. Sway's ROM flashing instructions are correct, but also remember to flash the kernel module zip in Safestrap, and you would be using the MLD set since you have the MK2 bootloader. The kernels and everything you need are included in the KitKat Magic Toolkit.
