[Moto X Q&A] kwyrt:
Thought I would add my two cents in here as someone who ran safestrap for a while before getting my bootloader unlocked through the guy in China. First, a small correction, running safestrap doesn’t have to take up much/any more memory as you can flash the ROM to your “stock” slot. As of right now I believe the other slots are not even working. Now, as for why unlock your bootloader, I think there are a number of reasons. Yes, you have an up-to-date ROM on your phone currently, but you are going to be dependent on a dev making a safestrap compatible ROM for any new software releases. This may or may not happen. You are at the mercy of the few devs who are currently doing this. That is probably the biggest reason for me deciding to unlock. Another reason, as samwathegreat stated, is I do not believe you can run AOSP ROMs currently on safestrap. If it works like it did on my old Droid 4, you would need to use something like the kexec exploit to in order to flash custom kernels in order to run an AOSP based ROM. I haven’t seen anyone working on anything like that. The last big reason I can see is safestrap does not seem to be in active development on the Moto X anymore. Numerous other devices have seen safestrap updates recently (including the Droid 4) but not so the Moto X version. I would definitely recommend unlocking. I know I’m glad I did.
[Moto X Q&A] HeroOfTime:
Thanks for clarifying that. I stand corrected. ;)
[Moto X Q&A] frenchie007:
thanks for making things clearer for me, and everyone for taking the time to answer my question.

as i've got a 2013 model I guess I'll just have to hope that safestrap supported roms will keep being released for the moto x for future updates!
[Moto X Q&A] 640k:
OP - long story short:

locked bootloader = some dev/hobbyist, etc finding a security flaw in the system that exploits the ability to obtain root (and hopefully system r/w).

Requires an adoption rate from other users.

Is only as "reliable" as the device is relevant.

Exploits have the potential to insert malicious code.

unlocked bootloader/dev edition = "free range" to do whatever you want, regardless of security flaws.

Potential to extend the longevity of your device.

Rooting methods are common among most devices with DEV Edition/unlocked bootloader option.

Permanent.
[Moto X Q&A] frenchie007:
I am quite aware of the difference between locked and unlocked boot loaders. My question was really regarding if safe strapping offered as much as a regular recovery. But thanks for clearing that up as well!

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] turkishhusla:
Whats the difference between a hard and soft rest?.....to my understanding a hard rest is when you hold down the power button then get that message that says you will lose your data if you turn off. And a soft rest is when you just tap the power button on the right side and the screen turns off.

In those terms i've been soft resting my qtek every time i push that button,and its kind of been wearing it out, because i do this frequently throughout the day.

I guess my question is, how is everyone else putting there Prophet to sleep when not using it. Do you guys tap the power button, or is there something im missing?

some kinda of today plugin or something that produces a similar effect to taping the power button would be perfect does anyone know if there is such a thing.

Thanks!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] travis:
reset

short push on power button = standby

long push = tunn off (and, effectively soft reset)

stylus in hole = soft reset.

Hard reset is completely different - see manual

Hope this helps

Hi there,

I'd recommend asking that question in the off-topic section of XDA: http://xdaforums.com/general/off-topic

Since it doesn't really regard any form of development or needing a phone to be fixed, it is probably best placed there.

You will find lots of keen XDA users who I'm sure will input and tell you what they think.

Good luck!

P.S: I'd go for the Moto G ;)

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackerse7en:
Hi guys,

well, i'm trying to swap a n7105 board to a n7100 Chassis/Body, and my note 2 become a n7100 wich is weard since it clearly says n7105 on bootup and in odin mode, but the fact is that it only works with n7100 recoveries and n7100 roms, and it boots without baseband, so "the phone thinks he is a n7100"

here is the list of parts i swapped from n7105 to n7100.

Charging Port Flex Cable Part for Samsung Galaxy Note2 N7105 hv2n

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7105 Sim Micro SD Card Reader Board Tray Pins Replacement

n7105 pcb/mainboard

N7105 power button

The remaining parts are from n7100

Now, my question is, do you think any of following parts make the phone thinks he is a n7100?

do you think this part make diference, cause when the device booted up with a n7100 rom, s-pen doesn't work.

Do you think Speaker module make a diference cause i used the one from n7100

or the Back covers make any diference cause they are from n7100

The Antenna wire

or the frame itself?

please i posted another thread but seems that this device is getting old, :(

Thanks
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheLastSidekick:
Update safely? Cataclysm didn't have an update to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4. You'll need to start from a different ROM or start from stock if you want to update.

If you mean "can I install the OTA?" then no. If you mean "Can I install a 4.4.4 full ROM?" then yes.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0rgan:
Yes, I mean OTA. The only way to update is via ROM? :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
No need to sulk. Dirty flash Vomer's stock rooted 4.4.4 rom and see if everything works. If it doesn't only then do a clean wipe. Same goes for Purity if you want to try that out ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Update the entire ROM. OTA is designed to patch existng system files in your rom 9adding new code to existing code), but you're using a modified rom so this code will cause problems and lead to an unstable device.

Just go into recovery and flash the rooted stock rom which you can find in the resources section in my signature. If you want a rom with more functionality than stock, just find one in the dev sections and do the same.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0rgan:
Thank you very much. Just a quick question, if I do wipe in twrp I still cant ota?

Hey all, I just acquired the SGH-I337 as an upgrade to my Galaxy S3. I can not for the life of me get a custom ROM running on it. My goal is SlimKAT because I like the ROM and have been using it on every phone since my Samsung Vibrant. Any time I'm flashing something in ODIN that has anything to do with ABOOT, it fails, soft bricks the device, and I have to reflash in ODIN all over again.

Please let me know what information I can provide to help with this. I've never had so much trouble with a phone before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sway8966:
Please tell us the firmware of your phone (baseband, modem, etc..)

I337 has locked bootloader if your firmware is MF3 and above (MK2, NB1, NC1). You have to use the safestrap as a recovery if you want to flash the custom roms. If you want to flash SlimKAT you have to the SlimKAT safestrap version if they have one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
If he had to use Safestrap he can't use Slimkat as it's AOSP and he can't change the kernel. Chances are if he was getting issues flashing aboot then he's on a newer version. Confirm it in the about phone section of the settings though.

You can't go back to older bootloaders ever. Sounds like you are updated to something that you can't flash custom anything to. So safestrap is the only way to go with modded touchwiz based roms.

Hello All,

I would like to share something that I found using "betterbatteryStats" that can be very helpful with Kitkat LG ROM (I believe that with CM you don't need this because there is App Ops "natively", another option is xposed modules), old stock ROM i've not tested.

3. choose "app Ops"

Here are some troubleshooting steps :-

Check USB Derives installed properly for L90.

When you connect phone in software upgrade mode with PC, Make sure Device Manager Showing Phone is connected.

Disable any firewall or antivirus if active.

when flash tool prompts to reconnect the phone or saying device not found, just unplug phone==> pull battery out ==> insert it back==> Reconnect phone in software upgrade mode and retry flashing.

If still not working, then quit flash tool => Restart PC => This time first connect phone in software upgrade mode to PC=> then launch flash tool and try to flash .

Disconnecting and reconnecting phone for several times could also helpful.

[LG Optimus L90] Nicole-28:
Had pretty much the same issue... How ever I did end up solving my problem in the end!

Seemed that my phone had been broken to the point where it couldn't report its Version properly, and since the LG Flash Tool compares version on phone to that of the kdz it kept stopping the installation.... I ended up using another phone and once it compared the version of it and sent it into Firmware update mode I just unplugged it and plugged in the bricked one, from then it flashed it and voila my phone is alive again!

Big thanks to all of you!!!
