Hi mate,.. tried to flash this on my stock 4.2.2,.. but flash failed,.. I think its something to do with the assert lines,. do I need to change / modify the Updater Script ?

If so, can you pls explain what is required

cheers, from not so sunny Scotland
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] tuxafgmur:
If your device is GT-P5100 then you must download p5100 file, else (your device is GT-P5110/GT-P5113) you must download P511x file.

I think that's your problem. Please, not change nor remove the assert lines.

have anyone tried and tested on 4.1.2 ?
[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] lord_dizzy:
Hello,

I need some help please: the device (P5100 in my case) needs to be rooted and a new (modern) recovery installed or it works with stock recovery?

My TAB was previously updated to stock 4.2.2 (which I like it and used it for 5 months btw) without any other modification until now; and with your help, a little boost to it will be more than welcomed...

[Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" Android Development] lord_dizzy:
Nice work indeed, thank you very much for a better kernel.

A little problem (on my P5100 at least): when using videos from youtube, after some suspend/resume/switching tasks, videos would lock up and wont play anymore, just black screen. I think it's because 900mV for 300MHz is not enough for my CPU. Is there a way to change that default boot frequency table to 950mV? I changed it with VoltageControl you mentioned above, and it seems it's working with the new settings, but I don't want to use an application at boot time, I just want to be the default 950mV for 300MHz. Where do I have to look?

sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/UV_mV_table*is changed when modifyed with VoltageControl, but reseted always to 900mV after boot.

Thank you again.

[Moto X Q&A] tu3218:
Does this work on any type of moto x? I have a Verizon moto x.

Sorry didn't realize I was on the Verizon forums. I was searching this on my phone. So this does in fact work then? Just if you reboot your phone, you have to enable it again. I can deal with that to use WiFi tether.
[Moto X Q&A] Jersey846:
I'm on Verizon as well. (4.4.2) It's a bit tedious (should be very easy), but seems to work with Titanium Backup for freezing apps. I'm not even exactly sure how I've gotten it working but here is what I did. I'd love for somebody to chime in and let me know why my "root" has been a bit unreliable.

1. Downloaded and ran TowelRoot. Changed the last number in the string from "0" to "1".

2. Download SuperSU (Doesn't seem to install correctly, but does seem to (at least temporarily) give root privileges to Titanium Backup and the root options for Greenify.. But here's how..

3. When installing SuperSU I get a notification telling me it fails to install properly. However when I try running a root app and it requests SuperSU root privileges, and I do get a pop up asking. I grant the app privileges. However that app doesn't seem to start correctly... Until after I deleted SuperSU. Then Titanium Backup starts easily and it seems to have root access as I've successfully frozen some apps through this method.

I'm sure that I am getting lucky somehow and either missing a step or two or... I don't even know. After the only restart I have done since, I did the same thing. Towel Root 0 to 1 > Install SuperSU > Doesn't install correctly > Run root app > Grant app privileges > Delete SuperSU > Run app.

Somebody did tell me in a different thread that I need to run PieRoot once and I'll be fine after that. Not exactly sure what he meant by that since I'm unfamiliar with PieRoot, so it's possible that is the necessary step in my method that is missing and causing all sorts of nonsense. If this is indeed the step I'm missing, I'd love precise and exact directions on how to run pie root.

[Moto X Q&A] Verttex:
Same thing I did. SuperSU doesn't seem to work, since it tries to update the SU binary every time you launch it. Just keep it on your device and don't open it. Should work for giving Root access.
[Moto X Q&A] Jersey846:
I might be missing something that you are doing then. Even if I keep it on my device but don't open it, it fails to give anything root access. Titanium, for instance, just gets stuck on the requesting root rights screen. If I delete SuperSU though, I'm able to somehow gain root for Titanium. Males no sense to a guy like me who doesn't always understand this kind of thing. Not very technically savvy.

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] Verttex:
Remove SuperSU, and try restarting your phone then applying Towelroot with 1 option again, and then check Titanium. I didn't need SuperSU to actually get root access. I only installed it because I wanted the power to deny things.
[Moto X Q&A] tu3218:
What do you mean change the number from 0 to 1? All I had to do when I loaded towel root was click "make it rain" I believe. It said I then had root but when I went into titanium backup, no root permissions were found. Is it because I didn't install superuser?
[Moto X Q&A] Jersey846:
Ok gotcha. I thought I actually had done that but no app actually gained permission till SuperSU, but I could be mistaken. Will give that a try.

---------- Post added at 09:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:05 AM ----------

For the Moto X, we are supposed to change the last number in the Towelroot number string from 0 to 1. This can be achieved by triple tapping "Welcome to TowelRoot V3" in the TowelRoot app itself and then changing that last number from 0 to a 1.

Sent from my Moto X
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
PIE is the exploit/process that JCASE released to Root the X on 4.4.2 a little before Geohot released TowelRoot. Neither address write protection on the X, so there are some limits.

Since PIE was made specifically for the X, it will likely work better, more reliably.

But no matter how you root, if write protection is still enabled (which will be the case if you can't unlock your bootloader), you'll have issues with apps and things that rely on or require write permissions on /system, /system/bin, etc. That is the reason SuperSU is giving you problems.
[Moto X Q&A] tu3218:
Oh okay. See all I want root for is to use wifi tether. I will have try what you said later.

[Moto X Q&A] Jersey846:
You can achieve temporary root (needs to be restarted after every reboot) with TowelRoot, but still no write privileges. Need unlocking for that. But hey, at least you can run Titanium and Greenify along with a few other apps. That'll suffice till the good Lord grants me an unlock key.

[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
No you do not have write privileges with PIE.

With 4.4.2, the vulnerabilities that allowed MotoWpNoMo to disable write protection with a locked bootloader has been patched, and the ability to safely and successfully downgrade your ROM to 4.4 and below (in order to make use of MotoWpNoMo to disable write protection, and SlapyMyMoto or the like to root) has been taken away too. No new vulnerabilities have been found, nor has a replacement for MotoWpNoMo been created/released.

In short, if you have 4.4.2 or above on your X, and you can't unlock the booloader (like Verizon and ATT, unless you are able to make use of the Chinese web site or MiddleMan), you can't disable write protection (so any apps that need to write/save to /system, /system/bin, etc wont work even if you manage to gain root) and while PIE roots 4.4.2 it is "temporary" in that its lost every time you reboot. NOTE: the vulnerability used is patched in 4.4.3 so PIE can't be used on 4.4.3 and above.
[Moto X Q&A] Jersey846:
Ok that makes sense. I wasn't familiar with Pie but that makes sense. I've tried a couple times with China Man, but so far no luck. Build date of 5/27/14. Hopefully he has it soon! If not, I can live with that too. Thanks man!

[Moto X Q&A] tu3218:
So it seems that write protection is gonna give you access to modding your phone. Changing the look of things, adding in PIE, xposed, etc. But with basic root from towelroot, you can do basic things like greenify, ad block, WiFi tether. Just if u reboot, you have to reroot. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I can definitely live with the latter since I can't unlock at this point.

little off topic.. but I've had my moto x about a month.. and recently noticed the battery drain going downhill.. while using it I've noticed losing a percent about every 2.3 minutes verse 3+ minutes... works out to a loss of an hour or so from full charge. GPS off and brightness set to lowest setting, haven't changed anything that would cause the drain to increase, but I leave it on a charger when using it as a hotspot.. and the charger is my nexus 7 charger not the moto charger.. but this never caused battery problems with my razr m.
[Moto X Q&A] Verttex:
To get us all on the same page here, Towelroot and Pie give you Root access but the device is still write protected.

Nevertheless, I have found that with this exploit, there is very little you can actually do with the temporary root. I am currently just using Titanium Backup, and Greenify, since apps like Xposed won't survive a reboot.

Maybe Xposed will work on a Soft Reboot? Hm.
[Moto X Q&A] Jersey846:
Would love to get Xposed working once I'm unlocked. Or even if I wasn't unlocked if that was possible. I haven't had any experience this far with xposed other than with Greenify on my Razr M, so I'm eager to have some fun with it.

With Pie

does this work with Jcase's pie as in can you install it as a system app and make it work?
[Moto X Q&A] thesomnambulist:
Removing write protection allows you to write to they /system partition. You can actually make most changes such as "modding" your phone without this, but in general they may not survive a reboot. PIE is actually a root method that jcase developed for the moto x. It essentially does the same thing as towelroot, but it requires you to be connected to a pc to use it. As someone else alluded to, you can install xposed after rooting with PIE, and it will survive a soft reboot. I haven't tried towelroot, but I would assume the same to be true there. The main problems with this are the lack of wp removal, and the fact that my moto x has a tendancy to crash sometimes immediately following a soft reboot, forcing me to tether and root again. I may try towelroot to see if it works the same. If it is successful, it may be preferable since it doesn't require a pc.
