[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Moto officially offers recovery images (full stock rom) for the GSM Dev/GSM Unlocked XT1053 and Verizon XT1060 by request on their web site here -> https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images They are the most currently released rom only. You wont find older versions there.

SBF.Droid-Developers.org is neither owned, operated nor sponsored by Moto. They keep every version full stock roms (SBF files) they find. I'm not going to speculate how they come across them, but they have many SBF files that Moto hasn't officially released to the public too. i.e. Sprint, ATT, and other carriers.

---------- Post added at 07:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 AM ----------

There are ways to get back to stock to be able to take an OTA -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html

You can certainly back up that way. But I haven't tried backing up that way and restoring, so I don't know.

With my HTC Incredible and HTC Thunderbolt and Moto Droid, I did backups in CWM, and restores. It was mainly for when a new upgrade came out. I would backup my current device setup, apps, etc. Apply the update, and if I didn't like the update or had problems, I could revert to my pre-update backup, rather than flash a stock rom and have to set it up all over again, install all my apps, etc. But the HTC devices had S-OFF, so downgrading wasn't an issue.

With my Droid Bionic, the bootloader wasn't unlocked, so it wasn't an option. And there were issues with GPT.Bin and other items preventing downgrading roms, even when flashing official full SBF files.

I haven't really done this with my VZW Dev X, mostly due to the fact that while the bootloader is unlocked, its not unlocked as much as a Nexus device, or an HTC with S-Off, where you can downgrade and flash any parts no matter what. Security issues, things like GPT.BIN, MotoBoot, etc can still get in the way when trying to downgrade. So I never felt it worth the risk. Not to mention the limited space on the X, and time/effort to make the back up and move the file to the PC, and then getting it back on the phone should I ever need to restore it since there is no real SD card.

If your intent of backing up stock roms is so you can revert to stock, having the Moto SBF files available elevates most users concerns. When flashing the same version, there are ways to do it without losing your Apps/Data (like in the case of running 4.4.2 rooted and modded, but wanting to get back to stock to take the 4.4.3 OTA).

If you want to do a backup/restore inside TWRP, you can. I have read many posts from users who were successful. I just advise that you keep track of the version you back up, and only restore if the same Android version is still on your phone (i.e. only restore a 4.4.2 back up if 4.4.2 is on your phone, only restore a 4.4 back up if 4.4 is still on your phone, etc)
[Moto X Q&A] gcbxda:
wait, what are the limitations i will have with a unlocked Dev device?

with my nexus and touchpad i often tried 4.3 roms and went back to 4 or 2.3 even...

i tried searching the terms you mentioned but it spawn all sort of threads with OP having some flashing problem and then pages of comments starting with "i think..." :)

I'm extremely confused now
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Unlocked or Locked Moto X... you have to be concerned when flashing backwards. The Security features on the X prevent downgrading certain components. Attempting to do so will brick or set you up to brick in the future.

Please see -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-Downgrade.htm

Short version... once you have 4.4.2 on your phone, do NOT attempt to downgrade.
[Moto X Q&A] gcbxda:
Lol. looking back at that thread i whish i had went ahead and did all the backups on all OTA updates before each twrp/root and did not trust motorola to have my back.

I'm a moron. Bumping this as a lesson to others :)
[Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] DrDee:
OK, new bootanimation I made using the new logo design of cyanogen, it is 1980x1080 resolution so file size is rather large, I may look at compressing the images later but at the moment it runs and looks nice on my i9506.

Instructions (must have root):

1. copy cyanboot.zip file to system/media

2. rename current bootanimation.zip to > bootanimation.bak

3. rename cyanboot.zip to > bootanimation.zip

4. change permissions to rw-r--r--

Note: if using a themepack you will need to go into the boot animation settings in settings/themes and change the boot animation to Holo (Default)

Hello, i'm newbie in this place. From Portugal.

I upgraded my Qtek 9090 to Helmi's AKU3.2 16MB page-pool 32MB RAMDISK.

I think that i follow all the steps, and it's working (with some bug's).

When i install software it asks where to, and it give me 3 options: "Device", "RAMdisk" ans "Storage Card".

My questions are:

1 - What's "Extended Rom"?

2 - How can i see if i have it?

3 - Can i delete the folder EXTROM that i copy to SD card for instalation?

4 - Why do i have an "x" in connections next to no signal of radio when i had a "G" for GPRS in win2003?

5 - Why my phone sometimes rings normaly and sometimes rings 1 time and the screen turns off but it's still ringing with no sound?

Help the newbie here :confused:

My device information is:

Qtek 9090 unlocked

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] imatrix:
1 - What's "Extended Rom"?

it's a place where most Operators use to store extra apps, could be anything. I take a guess here, but most of us here dont use extended rom, we usually resize it to 128kb, so there is more space for the OS.

2 - How can i see if i have it?

there is cab out there, i think it was packed with of the previous wm5 rls. cant remeber which rls though :(.

3 - Can i delete the folder EXTROM that i copy to SD card for instalation?

yes u can. it's an optional package. but it's good to have it, so read it up, see if u need any app in extrom folder

sry i cant help ya with q4 and q5.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] straniero:
my 50 cent about q4: I noticed (in Italy at least, dunno if that is valid worldwide) that when the big G is replaced by an x, I can't send or receive SMS messages. this is the only thing happening to me in this case.

a friend of mine told me this happens when he goes out of credit, but I was unable to confirm this.

I have an ATT galaxy s4 rooted with Towelroot. I've tried using GooManager to install TWRP but all it did was prevent me from booting into the recovery, I was able to get out of the loop by holding volume down and the home button and then hitting volume down to cancel going into download mode. Next I tried using Rom Manager to install CWM but the same thing happened. Now I can no longer boot into recovery, it just fails and goes into download mode. My question is should I just flash the stock recovery or is there a way to get a custom recovery?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sway8966:
Since you are on the NC1 firmware the only recovery software you can use is Safestrap 3.72. You can read more about safestrap in here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] binavik:
tsonav peculiar

Thanks for the quick reply. I installed Safestrap 3.72 then hit Install Recovery, however the state still says Not Installed, also Reboot to Recovery option is greyed out. I tried going into the recovery manually with the same result as the previous 2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jmjoyas:
You need to change selinux mode to permissive. The. Safestrap will be able to install recovery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] binavik:
means ynlyof

Sorry for the noob question but I am completely new to this, how exactly do I go about changing the selinux mode to permissive?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] binavik:
Ok, so I used SELinuxModeChanger to change selinux to permissive, and safestrap now installed. Now when I use the button combination Volume Up, Home and Power, it still does the same thing. If I allow it to boot normally I get a red message saying Safestrap Disabled starting system in 10 seconds, then 2 options at the bottom for booting into recovery and to continue. Is this normal or did I do something wrong?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jmjoyas:
That's perfectly normal.

Due to the locked boot loader, we cannot replace the stock recovery. Safestrap works around this by being available in normal boot mode.

Safe strap originally supported ROM slots (multi boot) and would show enabled when one of the ROM slots was selected. We can only use the stock slot, so don't worry about the disabled part.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] binavik:
Thanks for the reply and clearing that up. However I would like to know if there is any way to get back the stock recovery? It is a bit annoying that every time my phone turns off that it gets stuck in a little loop. Also this error message shows up on my phone and if anyone opens it, it immediately goes back into the loop. My mother loves playing with my phone a lot so I can see future problems coming. Anyway for me to flash the stock recovery back on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jmjoyas:
You can uninstall recovery from the safestrap app
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] binavik:
I did that but I am still not able to boot into the stock recovery, it just keeps getting stuck in the loop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
Check the NB1 ODIN thread and see if there's a link to just the recovery. If not you'll have to extract and flash it from the full tar with heimdall or package it in a zip or use an app or something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] binavik:
When searching the forums I found this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52167761. It seems like the correct stock recovery.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:

[Q] I have the AT&T model D800. I'm having trouble reverting back to D80010d. Help?

I tried following this method in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

I started with D80010o and ended up on the same firmware.

However, I noticed that the TOT file says V10o. I searched back on old threads and saw that this is the file that I probably need: LGD800AT-01-V10d-310-410-AUG-14-2013.zip

I can't seem to find that file anywhere though. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BreakingVZW:
Why do you want to revert to 10d? The only reason to do so before was we needed the old bootloader to be able to flash custom recovery. You can achieve the same result now by using AutoRec by [MENTION=270378]Cloudyfa[/MENTION]. It does everything for you easy peasy (need root to use it) .

Edit: Pfft i didnt see zombie already got you. Whoops :P
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazer77:
So, it breaks knock on/code only on stock? I'm going to AOSP anyhow. Or would I be better off just going back to 20c KK? I was going to go back to JB and go from there.. but it just seems like it's a bit unnecessary.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BreakingVZW:
Theres no reason to revert all the way back to JB. Its a waste of time. It breaks knock code for 20u. As far as other roms idk. I know mahdi had it working last time i used it but ever since cloudy released his flex and G3 roms ive stayed with those.

All of my past phones had removable batteries so when I would try something on my phone, if it didn't work and the phone wouldn't boot, I had the ability to pull the battery to shut it off and undo what I tried. I just realized I don't have that ability anymore, but I imagine there has to be a way to force a shut off of the phone if needed. Since I haven't run across this potential problem yet (since I haven't done much messing around so far) I'm assuming I can just hold down the power button to force a shut off if this ever becomes an issue.

Is that correct? If not, how do you force a shut down if need be?

While browsing craigslist I came across an ad for a Nexus 10 for $100, in perfect condition used... other posts for the tablet average around $300 used, how could I pass this offer?

That's why I'm here now. Is it worth $100 for an older tablet? I currently don't have the $300-$500 to spend on a newer Tablet, and I won't anytime soon.

My main question is.. for $100, is this Tablet worth it? Or is to too old and outdated that it's not worth even $100?

Thanks!

You really should be asking what's wrong with the nexus 10. They average 200-300 depending on size ROM. I still have the nexus 10 and it is an amazing tablet. The tablet is great overall but my bigger problem is with android tablets. They have completely neglected the native apps for tablets. Even a simple app like Facebook is not tablet optimized. It's just a bad ecosystem. But I digress. If it's legit and working that is a steal for a tablet that even tech reviewers still praise s one of the best.

Okay so I updated my tablet to 4.2.2 and ever since then it was super slow even after resetting it several times. I finally got sick of it and went to downgrade it through my computer.

It just sat there like that for like 3 hours so I finally got tired and went to sleep. Well my PC went into hibernate and the tablet wont turn on. When I plug it into my PC the USB sound constantly goes on and off. I just plugged it in into the wall and its showing the battery symbol, but it isn't charging it just has a loading bar in the center of the battery.
