Hey... sorry i didnt notice you had responded hence me not replying lol :silly:

You don't need to be allowed to post in the developers section mate you can just post in their thread saying thanks and that you like the ROM and/or request any specific mods or tweaks you might like.

DoomKernel did have dt2w but he took it out because apparently it causes unnecessary battery drain.

With regards to the unlocking of your bootloader its ABSOLUTELY fine mate Sony support it and you have to use their website to get you bootloader unlocking code anyway, plus restoring the TA is a piece of p!ss seriously.

The performance gains and general pro's to be had from a custom kernel faaaaar outweigh the risks posed when unlocking your bootloader and flashing a new kernel trust me :highfive:

[Moto X Q&A] Quantumstate:
I got a message on my XT1053 Dev that there's a system update. (I'm running stock) I let it download, and then it wanted to reboot. Ok, but it came up in TWRP. I tried rebooting from TWRP every way, but it would not go into maintenance so it could flash the new firmware.

Now whenever I boot it normally, it comes up, and then immediately shuts down, I guess because it wants to upgrade.

What is wrong with this thing?
[Moto X Q&A] danny39:
You must be on stock recovery in order to OTA update. Try going into adb and flashing back to stock recovery and it should work.

Make sure you have mfastboot set up and working, if you need the file respond to this post and I can supply it for you.

Download the stock recovery from here (and make sure it's in your "android" folder)

Boot your phone into fastboot with

-OR-

While the phone is off, hold the PWR button and the Volume Down buttons at the same time for ~5 seconds. Release the PWR button ONLY and continue holding Volume Down until you see the fastboot screen.

Next

Then in adb on your computer perform:

When it reboots into the OS it should try to install the update again, like you said it was doing. When it reboots it should update correctly via stock recovery.

Emphasis on should. I can't guaruntee this will work but this is based on my prior knowledge and experience. Good luck and report back with success/problems!
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
There's nothing wrong with this thing....

All of the guides here exist for a reason. One responsibility you have once you have decided to root your device or install custom recovery, is that when a new OTA comes out, you must check back here at XDA to see what the procedure for installing it is.

All of the guides here tell you that you MUST have stock recovery in order to accept any updates.

Here's how you will fix it:

Boot into TWRP. Clear your cache. This will prevent the constant reboots.

Now, use fastboot to flash back the stock recovery. You will need to download the 4.4.2 SBF for your XT1053 from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0

Extract the archive. You only need one file: recovery.img

You should already have the android SDK installed since you unlocked your BL and flashed TWRP. Use fastboot to flash the stock recovery:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Now you can accept the OTA from your phone. You may need to go to Settings > About Phone > System Updates and re-download it.

The OTA should now successfully install (assuming you aren't using Xposed or made any other modifications).

Now, you can flash TWRP recovery back. Let us know how it works out for you...
[Moto X Q&A] Quantumstate:
Thanks, but the update was unsuccessful.

I seem to remember that the update checks existing files, and if one has the wrong CRC it fails. Well I'm stock but rooted. It is a develoepr's phone and there is no developer's image on those sites.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
The GSM Developer edition uses the SAME exact software as the T-Mobile version. The T-Mobile variant has zero bloat, and no carrier branding. The only difference between the two is that you don't lose your warranty when you unlock the GSM Dev edition.

You're looking for the XT1053 T-Mobile SBF

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
[Moto X Q&A] Groid:
I always seem to have something in /system that messes with the ota update. In addition to flashing stock recovery to replace twrp, I also flash system.img (with mfastboot only) from the same sbf as you get the recovery.img. Then the ota goes through without a hitch.
[Moto X Q&A] Quantumstate:
Still Errors at the robot with spinning diamond heart, even with TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4.2-KXA20.16-1.25_MR3_CFC.xml/recovery.img.

Looking around it seems that here are some rules. I think I'm violating #2: "Inside the OTA is a manifest file. It contains a list of files and their check sums it expects to be on your phone. If the files are missing, or the check sum for a particular file doesn't match (because you've replaced or altered the file), the OTA will fall." I've removed most of the G**gle junk since I don't trust them.

So if this is what they require, Hell with them. If it were possible to put multiboot on the Moto X I would have done it a long time ago. Maybe I can apply this OTA update in some other way? Without going through their rinky-dink tests?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
You are correct on the manifest.

Instead, just flash the entire stock SBF (TMO_RETAIL_XT1053_4.4.2-KXA20.16-1.25). The manual method is easiest.

Or you could just flash the system.img as the earlier poster suggested.

This will revert to stock, and you will have to reinstall your apps, but the OTA WILL work afterwards. You really should consider just 'freezing' the google apps instead of removing them this time...

The only other way you will be able to install the OTA is to put all the gapps back on...but I doubt you made a backup, right?

mfastboot flash system system.img

that should be all you need (beside stock recovery, of course). Then take the update, and finally do whatever mods you want remembering that you will HAVE to un-do the mods to be able to accept future OTAs without returning to 100% stock again.

Good Luck
[Moto X Q&A] Groid:
Flashing system.img will not require you to reinstall your downloaded apps, just apps you installed as system apps via root access. Downloaded apps are in the /data/app partition that is not affected by a system.img flash.
[Moto X Q&A] Quantumstate:
I finally went this route. I'm not putting up with their OTA requirements; I'll get the upgrade without them. Although, that 4.3 sure has alot of G**gle and Motorola bloatware to remove.

With Xposed, GravityBox (and other modules) I now have the flexibility I was looking for.

Now all I need is a better dialer than the crappy G**gle one, and secure SMS.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] silent_pwr:
Hello,

I have a HTC Blueangel with a somewhat novel approach to charging its battery.

When connected to the USB, the charge meter continuously _decreases_, something close to 1% in 5-6 seconds. When the meter reaches 0%, it stays there for a short while (20-30 seconds), then jumps back to whatever the real charge is. And start decreasing again. After the regular several hours, the battery gets fully charged as normally should.

The charging used to work normally a while ago, and I cannot figure out what (or when) did I do to make it act this way. Initially I thought it might be a software problem, tried a hard reset, but it's still happening.

It's running WM2003 (1.42), with radio 1.15. BlueTooth, IR and wifi are disabled, screen brightness is set to min, etc. so I cannot understand what is going on.

Normally it should not be much of a deal, because the battery really has charge in it. But the system believes the indicated meter, so when going really low on the battery meter, it decides to disable stuff like phone, SD slot, etc. trying to conserve an apparent lack of charge.

If I disconnect the USB cable, the charge meter appears to drain at the normal rate (regardless of what the _real_ charge is). All other battery-conserving features appear to function normally -- notifications at 20 and 10%, shutting down when empty, etc.

I do not have a wall charger, so I could only test USB charging. I do not have another BA available to test just the battery.

Any ideas as to what might be going on? Is it possible to fix it?

Thanks,

-Daniel

Hi guys, i have a very strange problem with my Note 2 when trying to upgrade from Hurricane 4.3 to Phantom 4.4.2. or Dr Ketan Custom ROMV8 4.4.2.

No matter if i use TWRP latest or Phils latest recovery it just stop at Samsung logo.

I have tried with both Mj5 and Nd3 bootloader, both compatible with 4.4.2 and i do all the wiping needed before i flash.

Md5 is checked on all files.

I have tried this atleast 10 times but always ending up with nandroid back to Hurricane.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhpratik87:
In that case flash 4.4.2 stock rom , root it and then flash custom rom.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidwizzard:
Just to be precise: Flash stock rom 4.4.2 as suggested and afterwards a custom recovery, both using Odin, no need to root. Then you can flash any rom you like :good:

Thank you for your answer, can i flash any 4.4.2 ROM since no NEE (nordic countrys) out yet, France or Gremany per exemple?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] singhpratik87:
Yes you can.Only the modem version might be different so you might have to change that if you you experience slow data speeds and weak signal.But France has ND3 modem which i am using in India and no issues with network or data speeds so you should be okay too.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] profquatermass:
Got a UK 3 phone provider Galaxy S3 with 4.3 (Kernel version 3.0.31-2429075) as provided by my provider untouched.

Oddly the screen switches on from time to time as its just sitting there on the sofa.

(Also when I plug in or take out the charging cable it powers on the screen. But that's probably considered a 'feature')

But in the main the problem is it switching the screen on when it likes during my working day.

Anyone know how to stop this behaviour?

I've looked in the various apps I use, like Facebook. But can't see any notifications that mentions powering up the screen.

Motion, Voice control and Smart Screen is turned off,
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Your phone is full of bloat that keeps waking the screen, you probably have really poor battery life to.

In app manager try to disable the apps you never use, get greenify for the ones you do.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] profquatermass:
Many thanks for that 'boomboomer'. :good:

Didn't know I could disable Apps I never use.

I'll need to give that a go. Samsung and Google does provide Apps I never use! :crying:

I do keep a lot of Apps on it. But most are only used once a week or rarely.

On a side point.

Any way I can stop Google Play from updating apps during the day when it's not charging? It just needs to try to auto-update 5+ apps at once and it slows to a crawl if the 3G/Wi-Fi connection is slow. Be nice if it could do it late at night when its charging. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alecore:
yes ,open play store ,go into settings and disable auto update when wifi/3g is on . After that you can update manually your apps and you will get notifications when update is available .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] profquatermass:
Thanks for that. Yes, I knew that. I do want it to auto-update. Just not during the working day. Seems to take just one app to not update correctly and I get a queue of them waiting for that one to update!

Best if it was done during the night IMHO.

2.Is there a scrambler app that will make my phone untraceable?Is that possible without a actual expensive device?

Hello dear posters,

I think my question is clear. You know Facebook gets updated almost every week. I don't remember but, for older versions of Facebook after hitting a video thumbnail, I was able to choose any player that installed my device ( MX Player, BSplayer etc.)

But after nowadays updates it's changed. When I hit a video it starts directly in Facebook app without asking which way I'd like to play..

I don't want to turn back to previous versions of Facebook and don't want to install 3th party apps.

Is there any ideas how to disable Facebook's default video player?

Can we change some permissions via Root Explorer?

Thank you for your help dude but this is not the solution. You mentioned clear defaults. I know that ?

But The problem is, in Facebook app it doesn't ask you which player you'd like to play. After hitting a video it starts directly.

Therefore; you don't choose anything by mistake so as to clear defaults.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MystaMagoo:
on the pc it's

settings/general/videos click to off

should be a similar thing in the app?

“Auto-play videos on Wi-Fi only”

will still do it on wifi but that's the best you can do for now until FB changes/fixes it.

maybe do FB through a browser instead of the app?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J2270A:

Hello,

I was interested in this myself. Reading around suggested that Kies would soft brick your phone, and recovering it could be very difficult. I looked on YouTube (sorry, too new to post links!) and someone has uploaded a video that recommends using an app called SpoofFW to fool Kies into thinking your phone is completely stock.

However, as has been stated already, after upgrading, you will lose root, and all that Samsung bloat will be back again!
