It depends on the carrier.

Verizon and ATT moto makers can't be unlocked. You are right, Replublic Wireless can't be unlocked.

However, Sprint and the "GSM Unlocked (ships with T-Mobile SIM)" variants can be. Some other carriers can too.

If you do anything that voids the warranty while you are "trying it for $.01" they will likely refuse return.

If you are buying a Moto Maker X, unlocking its bootloader DOES void the warranty just by completing the action of requesting the code from Moto. You are submitting unique info to Moto about the phone you are unlocking, so expect they will know you have requested the unlock code.

And as for Moto can"easily" re-lock the bootloader, it depends on if its an eFuse or not. Using mFastboot, we can get the bootloader status to unlock and relock, not LOCK. If its an eFuse, moto likely can't set it back to lock without replacing components.
[Moto X General] SymbioticGenius:
Can you get a developer edition for a penny? If so you do keep warranty for unlocking. I cannot verify whether or not they will accept the return, for that I would call Motorola and request confirmation in writing that they will accept the return even if you unlock the boot loader. If yes, get it, test it, if you like it send it back and order the Moto Maker one you want.
[Moto X General] br0adband:
The "Try Then Buy" FAQ clearly stated that the regular non-Moto Maker version, the Moto Maker version, and the Dev Edition were all supposed to be available for that offer but I tried several times to get the Dev Edition and each time I punched in the promo code they sent me, it wouldn't apply the discount and the price remained $449 and change. After maybe 5 attempts, I decided to contact them using their "instant chat" support and the first time it said I was number 18 in the queue so I waited 14 minutes and when I got to being number 3 in the queue, it kicked me out and said their instant chat support was offline.

I waited a minute, reconnected to the chat support thing and it said I was number 27 with a wait time of 35 minutes so I said the hell with it and just ordered a Moto Maker edition, hence my question(s) above about rooting/unlocking.

For 14 days it's my phone, that's how the deal goes, so I'm going to use it as if it were my actual device, that's the only way I'm going to know if I want to actually keep it - I'll fire off an email to 'em when it arrives to clarify things, but if I do end up rooting it and unlocking the bootloader and then they refuse the return of the phone, well... guess I'll be getting it for free, who knows. ;)
[Moto X General] :
I'm sure they won't let you have it free. Lol

And yes, you will void the warranty.... And therefore probably void your chance to return it.

Remember.....us rooters are a very....very tiny fraction of their customers. They don't think of us when they make deals, or rules or promos.....most will try it, not change a single thing and keep it or return it. Then WE come along, void its warranty and try to return it. Nope....not happening. You own it now. Pay up. Or bye bye imei. And now you own a pretty paperweight. ;)

And.....if moto is smart, which they seem to be, any device on this promo....no matter the carrier....won't be eligible to unlock on their site. Didn't think of that one....did we. I'm betting they won't be eligible to unlock on motos site, not until the deal is done and you keep it. ?

---------- Post added at 10:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

Also....come on now....you don't NEED root to know if you like a device. Lol
[Moto X General] SymbioticGenius:
Very valid points KJ. Sad thing is I've had root since day one and I barely use apps that require it anymore. With the recent updates and the ability to disable apps without TiBu my battery life is fine so the only thing I've used root for is kernel tweaks.

Try the phone, if you even remotely like it without root, you'll like it that much more with it.
[Moto X General] :
I'd die without root. Lol. Luckily I research first and would never own a device I can't root. ;)

Yeah, I don't get the attitude about its mine for 14 days. Its yours to TRY they are saying. Taking it apart physically or unlocking boot loaders and messing with the system is not something they will be happy about. They'll just laugh, send it back to you and say congrats on your new purchase. Lol.
[Moto X General] SymbioticGenius:
I would never own a phone without an unlockable boot loader. Until the Nexus5 all my phones had CM and I bought my phones based on having a stable-ish build. I understand your point.

I think I should teach many of you in here something my father taught me as a kid.

If something isn't yours return it how you found it. If you break it, you replace it.

Otherwise known as "you break it, you bought it."

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] quanss78:
Dear friends,

I am using an Exec ppc phone. in the recently time, it become very poor battery. When i turn on wifi, i only can use when battery is full. When it reduced to 75%, the device was soft reset. on the other hand, when i turn oFf wifi, i can use till the battery remain 40% then it is softe reset and can not continue if i don't plug on the battery charging!

Please give me an advice or measurecounter!

thank you so much!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Airax:
Try this:

Control panel -> system -> power, "advanced" tab.

In the "On Battery Power" section,

make sure the tick box is on for it to turn off after x mins.

I had the same problem until I ticked this box. Closing the lid will power down the screen, but not the device, which is a bit annoying.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sl9:
You got unlucky with a faulty battery, that's all. You can get a new one from eBay very cheaply these days...

Could someone post a link to Scotts CleanROM for Verizon Note II please? The link on his website is pointing to a server which is trying to hand out a virus as the page comes up with a security warning that the website is not safe.

Thanks

Scottsroms.com has all his old files
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ITAdmin:
Did you actually try that link?? It takes you to the same page with the virus warning I said earlier.

As soon as you hit that page, it's trying to get you to install a player which is NOT what it should do. It SHOULD let you download the ROM file.

Anyone else have a good link please?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rudy_Ruettiger:
Yes I did try the link it works fine. Which download are you clicking on? Click the small download in the middle with the black background. I'm trying to help you, relax.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rudy_Ruettiger:
Proof that the link works
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ITAdmin:
Ok, I got it. There's more than one download link on the page and I guess I didn't hit the correct one? Confusing as hell !!

Thanks for helping the blind!! I guess I better get a seeing eye dog that can use a computer!

I didn't mean to make you think I was upset, I'm just under a tremendous amount of pressure and stress right now with my business and getting my phone back on line is really adding to the stress. I paid for FEDEX overnight shipping to the repair facility and FEDEX overnight saturday delivery to return it and I have been sitting here all weekend trying to get it back up.The guy who fixed it installed an app (TWRP) I have never seen or used and never told me what it was or what to do with it and he didn't return my calls or emails over the weekend to let me know if it was safe to use it with a custom ROM. I had to search all weekend to find out exactly what it was and how to use it. I'm sure you know how expensive that type of shipping is and to have paid all that and still not have my pohone up on Monday morning was a waste of money.

Thanks so much for the help here. I will be more carefull looking at links from now on.

Tom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ITAdmin:
Rudy,

Thanks again. I am downloading the ROM now, although it's slow and will take 30+ minutes. I have a question. I see that some of these ROMS have the ability to accept OTA updates?

My phone specs are

Verizon Galaxy Note II

Android 4.1.1

I605VRALJB

BUILD # JRO03C.I605VRALJB

I don't want my phone to take any updates EVER!

Can I prevent that from happening?

Do you know what I need to do to accomplish that?

Does Scott's ROM's block OTA updates?

It seems he has discontinued support for the Note II and I 'm not really that good with this and I don't want to have my phone get updated and get locked out again. I just spent a lot of money to get it back to v4.1.1

Thanks for any help with this and thanks again for helping me with the download issue!

Tom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xredjokerx:
Hey Tom,

Any custom rom usually has OTA's from Verizon blocked, Scott's included. The download speed you are experiencing is normal.

When roms say they have OTA capability, it usually means that they have the ability to send their own updates via OTA.

Hope that helps. Also, this thread isn't in the right location--you'd be posting to Q&A or general for this type of question.

Anyway, let me know if you need anything else. Have a great day
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ITAdmin:
I just wanted to thank everyone for their help! I now have Scott's Note II ROM on my phone and it's working great!

I do have one problem though. Somehow I managed to change the keyboard where I type text messages and now it doesn't show the keyboard, but has a writing board or whatever it's called and I can't figure out how to get the qwerty keyboard back? It's a screen where the keys would normally be but you can use your finger or a stylus I guess to write or draw. Can anyone advise me how I get it back to normal?

Thanks again to all!

Tom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ITAdmin:
Never mind, I figured it out! Doh!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JeramyEggs:
I also throw out there that gas dies eventually on this rom. If you check the thread, it has happened to a lot of people including my wife's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ITAdmin:
Not sure what you mean by running out of gas???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] manbat:
He means....GPS, some had problems on this ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ITAdmin:
Ok thanks.

I am noticing that the radio seems to be a little weaker. Is that my imagination?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JasonGeiger:
I would go with something newer that is still supported Krowley's smooth rom would be a good place to start.

Sent from my SCH-I605
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ITAdmin:
I also see that what I thought was a defect in the manufacturer's ROM is still occurring in Scott's ROM That's when you have a phone call and you hang up and then it starts playing audio files that you have on your phone. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a way to stop it?

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] JasonGeiger:
I don't remember that on cleanrom, but it's based on international firmware so there were common issues with a lot of people concerning GPS. Seriously, there's some great roms that are based on Verizon 4.3 and soon you'll see 4.4.2. Why waste your time with a 4.1.2 rom? Like I said smooth rom, Trents rom is excellent, as well as some more feature packed roms that are awesome but may be overwhelming for you at this point. See what's near the top of the list in Android development forum, pick one, and after backing it up try another.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jackos:
Here is a simple workaround fix for the 4K overheating issue. It disables thermal control in the camera app so you may record the video even if the device is hot.

This is a dirty fix and should be used with EXTREME caution. I'm not responsible for any bricks, etc.

Usage:

1. Backup your current ROM.

2. Backup both SemcPowerSaveModule.apk and SemcPowerSaveModule.odex (if exists).

3. Ensure you're on .402 or .314 firmware.

3. Flash my fix in recovery.

4. Enjoy!

Warning: I had good results with the fix after lowering my Z2 CPU clocks. Do not use the Camera if it's really hot outside, this isn't healthy for the device!!
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Lolento:
Thanks!

Can users feedback on how this work out for them?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jackos:
I cannot speak for others, but I was able to record an over ten minutes 4K video after using this. However the file was extremely big and the device was extremely hot. Later I downclocked to 1,7Ghz and tried again with a 6mins video and the heat was bearable.

I basically changed the temp that triggers the camera turn off.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] jug6ernaut:
This is a really bad idea. The thermal limit is i place for a reason, with this mod you seriously risk permanently damaging your phone. As op said, use with extreme care.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jackos:
You also risk the battery exploding and a lot of other crap :P

This isn't meant for daily use.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] raber111:
So what's the temp limit in your mod ?

Отправлено с моего D6503 через Tapatalk
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jackos:
I pushed every limit up 10C.

Thnx my bro work my phone z2 doomkernel v9 romaur v3.0

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jackos:
Nothing is as pleasing as a 12GB video recording on a phone... :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Nice mod, especially because you didn't tweak it to high... but that's not smart to do often.

One video and let your device cool for a bit...

Overheating FC isn't error or bug, that's added for a purpose.

We all know what could happen if cpu works after critical temperature reach.

Your device could literally explode..

Now we see all glory of using same cpu as on Z1 but overclocked... ;)
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] KrisPerry:
Useful as my camera often closes for normal use if the ambient temp is too high. I think it is too sensitive as the phone and battery get much hotter during gaming with no issues
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] kabauterman:
better try to tweak the kernel to produce less heat by undervolting or underclocking.

What is the lowest clock you can record a stable fuild 4K video with?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] vital982:
FC Stock Camera app

To Prevent force closing of camera app just freeze the overheat control service

Be careful because of the temperature it is just reaches 50 degrees it's dangerously for the phone
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jackos:
That's actually a worse idea, because the overheat control service controls more then just preventing the overheating the camera. It has also switches for Wifi overheating control, frequency changes and it also controls the power saving features of the phone.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] ParanormalBat:
Doesn't the Z2 have an 801?

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jackos:
Restore both SemcPowerSaveModule.apk and SemcPowerSaveModule.odex from backup.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] GuestK00377:
bro i didnt backup semcpowersavemodule ... Is that a problem ???
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jackos:
Let me quote myself.

If you ask politely maybe someone will upload the original SemcPowerSaveModule. Do you always flash first, read instructions later?

not like dat bro i read it well before i flashing it.. but i am beginner in flashing and other stuffs... i forgot to backup that apk... if it is a problem should i relash my rom ?

I wrote "EXTREME" caution. It doesn't mean that everyone should flash it.

I'll prepare the files for you when I got some spare time.

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] funky0308:
Hi mate...

You said, in OP, - you disabled closing app when device is overheated.

Could you change values and leave "force" closing app but only with your parameters?

What I wanna say is, I would like to have Xposed module that won't change that force closing, I think that's something we really need and it could save our devices but we could change parameters to show overheating msg on (for example) 80C instead of 70C...

[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jackos:

However, .314 uses this same power save module and my fix is compatible.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jhon998:
Really? you said it require .402, has anybody tested it? or how do i make sure that it worked?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jackos:
If you're able to record more than 5mins of 4K, yup - it worked.

This is a dirty fix and should be used only by experienced users/developers. It's not meant for casual user.

I updated the OP.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jhon998:
Your uv list please?
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Hi, could you possibly share which values you changed? I wanna so badly do this on my Z3, i looked through every possible string and array in the apk and the only reference i found doesnt make any sense cause the strings for alot of arrays here are missing o0 thanks, using D6603 with androplus kernel + existenz rom and cameraZadas mod, i cant even get 35sec of 4K HD and its 12 degrees under my thermal settings on rom:eek: but it FCs anyway
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jackos:
Those changes I made were hardcoded in smali.

You could start off by "freezing" the thermal manager and see if that helps with your overheating.

I abandoned this project a while ago.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Sorry i read that you abandoned it, was just hoping to find a workaround for my Z3, 40 sec is useless lol, thanks for the quick response though :D
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jackos:
If you disable the package you'll be able to record as long as you wish.
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] marceldossantos91:
Thanks but unfortanetely on Z3 disabling thermal manager itself doesnt fix it, nor does it have a package named thermal manager :P instead - it has overheat protection, which disabling could do the invetible, i dont mind playing around with my device but ive seen my Z3 hit 100 degrees and shut down so thanks but nah, wouldnt risk the life of my device. Wat i liked about your code is that we could higher the threshold rather than put it in harms way, like my stock thermal manager throttles at 80, the sony cam for some reason shuts down at 73, makes no sense :P
[Xperia Z2 Android Development] Jackos:

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Does it react at all when you press the power button? Or is it comletely dead?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] apricot626:
It reacts on everything, just ROM is bad and i need to install new, because this doesn't works. Its not rooted.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Start a Repair session in Sony Update Service or PC Companion, this will install the latest official firmware fresh ( you will lose all data ). I don't think there is another option.

If the phone still doesn't work after that i would think you have a hardware problem.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kt-Froggy:
I second that. Once you are on working stock, you can install recovery and take it from there.
