AFAIK xt1023 is just a renamed xt1021. Its the US single sim variant identical to global variant xt1021. Everything applicable to xt1021 should apply to xt1023.

Two. KK Bl & LP Bl.

Kitkat Bootloader wasn't updated with the 4.4.4 OTA.

So in order to flash a LP Rom, you simply need the default KK BL.

However you if you wish to downgrade back, you'll need to make sure you don't downgrade BL.

Facing problem rooting moto e xt1022

hi,

Im using moto e xt1022, android version 5.0.2, which i installed from soak test file.

Following your guide i somehow unlocked the bootloader, but the next steps are not working or maybe i am not able to understand.

kindly send me a step by step guide on how to install twrp recovery and super su.

Whenever i boot into recovery there comes the android bot lying down with warning sign on its belly. and says "no command".

Pls help.
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
The steps are just as mentioned in the first post.

Since you unlocked BL it means you have fastboot setup correctly.

Just navigate to the recovery in your pc.

Open the command prompt.

And execute the command.

If it shows some error, just post those. That might help in the case.
[Moto E General] PoseidonKing:
I cannot flash recovery...It shows an error...what to do?
[Moto E General] Cotopaxi42:
Thanks, everything worked perfectly.

Maybe you could update the version of TWRP, I used the 2.8.7.0.. :)

Is there any way to disable or block system update without rooting,

Because my bootloader can not be unlocked on my verizon moto e 4g lte 2nd generation model xt 1528
[Moto E General] imsuperduper:
Got a noob question.

If I unlock my boot loader install custom recovery and root my phone, but keep the stock rom, will I still get ota update notices and be able to update the stock rom over ota? If yes, will my phone still be rooted, or will I have to re-root after the rom is updated over ota?

thanks!
[Moto E General] Lucifer Keifer Fernandes:
Yes you will receive the update notifications if any update comes but it will not get updated due to custom recovery and unlocked bootloader.

I hope the info will be of any help to you.

Moto E 2015 LTE XT1526 to work with Reliance CDMA

Anyone knows how we can make the phone work with Reliance CDMA Sim Card. I bought a Virgin Mobile phone from Walmart USA and now came to India trying to make it work on CDMA. Though Virgin gave CDMA LTE network on USA but I unlocked bootloader and installed custom ROM to make it work on GSM network in Germany while I was on way to India and stayed in Germany for a week. All went well with same Moto E working with Lebara GSM in Germany and then after reaching India I inserted my Reliance CDMA card but still now able to make it work. I will put in points what all I have done so far

1. I restored the Phone with Stock 5.1 (Surnia) ROM and inserted my old 2005 Reliance Simcard (manually cut) which showed network and did PRL Update, Profile Update, UICC unlock which went successful. Moto E 2nd Gen LTE manufactured after Feb 2015 have SIM lock which can be easily unlocked internationally when you on travel via UICC unlock method that allows you to use other SIM. Seems my phone is manufactured after that thus it showed all successful.

2. The only problem is when I dial any number the dialer flashes and nothing happens. It only allows *228 and the nice lady voice tell "My phone is already activated". I desperately want to see it working with phone calls.

3. I thought the problem is old 2005 SIM hence I bought new Reliance CDMA SIM (again manual cut as they din had Precut SIM). I again did *228 so this new SIM gets the Phone Number transferred as it was successful. It can also see the 3G symbol with exclamation on Network signal. I again tried the UICC, PRL & Profile Update but all failed with "Socket error" means no signal.

4. I thought latest Android 5.1 has issues hence I downloaded XT1526 Android 5.0.2 stock ROM from FileFactory and tried but still the same dialer flash.

5. Some post suggested to get MSL code and unlock using the ##3282# -> EVDO -> DDTM to turn off which requires MSL/SPC code. I tried all possible ways on Internet to use MSL Reader, Installed SU and used Terminal Emulater to run "getprop ril.MSL" but all returned blank with no MSL code. This made me confirmed that no MSL is there and this phone is manufactured after Feb 2015 which has SIM Unlock policy and is open for international travelers.

Can anyone suggest what I can do with new Moto E 2nd Gen which I bought in Nov 2015 and can make it work on GSM but CDMA is something I want this to work with on reliance network.

*#4636*#*# -> Phone Information -> Set Preferred Network Type -> Has All Frequencies available.

In 2005 Sim it showed Network Type: 1xRTT

In 2015 New Sim it shows Network Type: EvDO-rev.A

Please provide me the way out.

I'm running into this same issue. I've followed all of the steps accordingly. How do I get TWRP to install correctly?
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
The recovery isn't getting installed.

Make sure you are using correct version.

Try to reinstall the recovery.

Post if you get any error in istallation.
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
No, you need root to edit any system related files.

Though you can try to disable MotorolaOTA from Apps menu.
[Moto E General] Anonymous_Gamer:
Great Guide

Thanks for the detailed tutorial, however you could include videos to show people who are newer and have less knowledge.
[Moto E General] @niket:
I've got some noob questions

in this thread, i can see that there are 5 major topics

adb drivers, UL Bootloader, flashing recovery, flashing custom rom, rooting

now currently i have complete stock 5.1 23.26.8 on my moto e

now as official cm13 is available, I'm thinking of installing/flashing the same

so tell me which of the above mentioned steps to follow and in what order (add steps if i hav missed anything)

is root necessary before installing cm13?

or is it the rom which gets rooted after booting into it after flashing ( rooting optional? i mean if i install custom rom and dnt want root access...like that , m i talking right thing or nonsense...please correct me) ?
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
The steps would be

1. Unlock BL

2. Flash Custom Recovery

3. Flash CM 13.

As for Root, the custom Roms including CM13 have in built support for root. You just need to enable it. However if you wish to have an unrooted custom ROM, that's absolutely ok.

Flashing Root binary is for people who wish to root their Stock Roms.

Tapped from my Moto X
[Moto E General] @niket:
thanks a lot :)

just for a curiosity....whats the use of adb drivers?
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
Adb drivers allow fastboot to acces your device. In order to flash recovery or other fastboot files.

Tapped from my Moto X
[Moto E General] @niket:
then it should be like,

1. Unlock BL

1a. ADB Drivers

2. Flash Custom Recovery

3. Flash CM 13.

isn't it? or original order (1,2,3) will do the job on installing cm13?
[Moto E General] neo.ank:
You will need to install Adb drivers before BL unlock..

Unlocking BL needs fastboot and Adb..

Tapped from my Moto X
[Moto E General] @niket:
Thanks for clarification :)

doubts solved completely
[Moto E General] nipnap:
I am having trouble getting the flashed recovery to work. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img works fine, but when I enter recovery, I only get Android system recovery, not TWRP.

Fixed: Use surnia instead of condor recovery: http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=11449
[Moto E General] @niket:
now having cm13 on moto e

want to go back to complete stock which includes,

1) locked boootloader

2) stock recovery

3) stock rom

from other threads, i came to know that locking bootloader is simply done by a single command in command prompt

also got the leanthy guide for flashing stock recovery

but how to remove twrp and get back to stock recovery?

also can you plz mention steps in proper order?

that would be very helpful for me

eg. going back to stock recovery, locking bootloader, installing stock rom

waiting for fast reply....kind of in hurry
[Moto E General] rybshik:

Can it still be rooted?

Hello my galaxy i747 is hard bricked really hard i accedently Deleted all my files on storge and sd card then i got bricked cant get in to download mode or recovery & jig and jtag didnt work also sd card method so i cant to anything please help me! (Sorry for bad english):(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
To get real help from here, you really need to give more information on what went wrong. Specifically, what caused the brick? Were you flashing any firmware? If so, what were you flashing and how?

A J-Tag is the ultimate solution to any bricking problem caused by firmware failure as this forces firmware installation directly to the motherboard so if you say you tried this and it didn't work, I'm afraid it may not be a firmware problem you have.

[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
Well, UK and US do, so why not us. First off, I hate not being in US/Canada/UK with their fancy "1-day delivery" option. I tried ordering from "mobilefun" India (they have a 2-day shipping option), but they just re-credited my money with a TOTALLY NOT vague: "We could not go through with your order due to `security reasons'". So I just resigned to doing it from play store, shipping 09/Jul...looks like I'll only get it late next week :(.

Anyone else ordering this? Did you have success from NON play-store places, or somewhere with a 2-day type option? I've never ordered from play-store in India before...how fast does the shipping REALLY take usually (I live in Bangalore).

And of course: OH GOD I CAN'T WAIT..AAAHHHH

Note: IN stands for India...

I'm in Montreal Canada.
[LG G Watch] saj2001ind:
Anyone from india ordered bcoz its out of stock in Indian play store
[LG G Watch] mvgadagi:
I ordered from India..?
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
If you don't mind please, could you elaborate:

when did you place order

when was the "ship by date"

Have you gotten a shipment confirmation email, if yes, when did you get it

I'm trying to figure out what kind of shipment delays they are encountering.
[LG G Watch] saj2001ind:
Google and LG seems to have goofed up a lot with G Watch stock and shipment specially for india customers, I ordered few days back when it was showing as In Stock, then they gave 9th as dispactch date now when I called customer servoce theu had no clue then they emailed me that stock delays etc non sense and they dont know when it will be shipped

its a very unprofessional behaviour by google and LG for indian customers, how come an order placed while In Stock is not processed , ridiculous
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
SAME HERE. Though for me it showed as "shipping in 1-2 bussiness days" by the time I paid for it, so that was OK. It's half way through the day and still I don't have any shipping details.

On the plus side: the dude said it ships from Mumbai, if he ships by tonight using Bluedart or something I MAY get it before the weekend, or on Saturday.

On the minus side: No way the above is happening.

The *only* way to know what is going on right now is to collect info from people for whom it showed "shipping by 8th" have THEY gotten their shipped confirmation yet? I'm going to assume ours will ship 1 day after whenever theirs shipped. So please, anyone know anyone who has 8th as shipby date?
[LG G Watch] saj2001ind:
On indian play store it never showed shipped by 8th, it was always shipped by 9th...and I also placed the order when it showed In stock and delivered in 1-2 days....

do post here if u get any shipment details....and who told you it ships from mumbai ? bcoz on invoice they have mentioned singapore address as shipped
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
Yeap, that's what I thought. The dude on the other end of the indian play store help phone number said mumbai though. He said the devices are shipped (I assume in bulk) to the mumbai ship center at which point it ships from there to customers. The "ship by" date denotes "individual customer"s ship, meaning it is supposed to leave MUMBAI at that time. Which makes sense, to get all the customs out of the way prior to customer interaction.
[LG G Watch] saj2001ind:
well, I have replied a very stern mail to them asking why an ordered placed while in stock is struggling with stock now....they said they will come back in a day or so..

overall not a good impression on google online sales strategy
[LG G Watch] rhoadster91:
I am also experiencing the same issue. Ordered on June 25th morning and the order said it would ship by yesterday. Today the status of the order in "My Order" is blank. I sent an email to the support team and the same generic reply that it is not in stock.

I guess we have no option but to wait and "watch"

Bad pun. Sorry.
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
They said they are having customs issues getting the watch into the country (AFTER which it is shipped to individual costumers from the warehouse/shipping center in Mumbai). So...it is delayed indefinitely. Since this is India, I am going to say no one here is getting their hands on that watch till late august or early september.
[LG G Watch] saj2001ind:
it should not be late aug or sept ... they put on the play store officially which means they had plans for india availability....it will be dealyed for few days now but not that long else they may not have put on play store
[LG G Watch] rhoadster91:
I would not be so optimistic. Google has botched up online device sales quite a few times before.
[LG G Watch] saj2001ind:
If it goes till Aug sept then no point buying from them, LG will launch it in india in stores

I am still hopefull it's still few days away and not months as per email sent to me by their customer service

btw anyone gone ahead and cancelled the order yet ?
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
LOL...It will be till at least last week of july before they start shipping. Shipping will take another 9 business days or so. So basically AT LEAST mid august.
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
Customer service sent you email saying it will take months?

Also: release it in india...HAHAHA..you keep thinking that.
[LG G Watch] saj2001ind:
Did u also order the watch via play store ?
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
YES.
[LG G Watch] saj2001ind:
so what did the play store customer service told you on delivery
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
They said that the mumbai shipping center is waiting on the whole shipment before delivering to customers, and they are having customs issues getting the crates into the country. Shipping team has been notified of this issue and will get back to customer service/costumers by saturday Indian Time. Note: this is the time by which we will KNOW what is going on...whether the items will be released for shipment is another issue.

As far as I can tell, mumbai shipment center HAS at least some or most of the shipments they are merely waiting for the whole set before shipping out (no bloody idea why).
[LG G Watch] saj2001ind:
we dont have a choice but wait.

does anyone cancelled their order and got refund ?
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
I think I'll wait, is there any other place to buy the LG G watch india anyway? Called the LG store and they say they won't carry the watch.
[LG G Watch] saj2001ind:
no point talking to LG Store in india, they are even more dumb on these info

its not available in stores as of now, but may be once it gets available in UK stores like expansys, clove or mobilefun
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
Expansys.in charges in $s but says India delivery can be done in 2-3 days. Anyone wanna try ordering it? After my little fiasco with mobilefun.in I'm scared since I won't be using a Credit Card.
[LG G Watch] saj2001ind:
they are a bit costly but expansys delivery are pretty good, I have brought quite a few items from them, if I would have not ordered from play store, I would have ordered from them
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
why not cancel and order from Expansys? Since we have no idea when play store will ship.
[LG G Watch] saj2001ind:
I read somewhere that refund doesn't happen soon on cancellation so probably will wait till next week at least
[LG G Watch] rhoadster91:
My money wasn't deducted. The transaction is still pending. So no question of refund.
[LG G Watch] rhoadster91:
And I genuinely don't think the delay is because it is "out of stock". There would be much more fuss and commotion if that was the case. But not a single news article anywhere on the web mentions this.

It is possible that there was too little demand for it (wont be surprised if we three are the only ones :p ) and they overestimated it a lot. Maybe coz of the dismal figures they're rethinking the import into India, eventually causing the delay.

It is also possible that there was heavy demand from elsewhere in Asia (remember this product is shipping from Google Asia headquarters in Singapore, so they could be shipping to multiple destinations)

It couldn't be a customs issue. For a multibillion company like Google, a lot of its reputation is at stake if they couldn't land a supposedly overwhelming sale. They would pay whatever they were asked for to protect their reputation, and such "deals" with customs are made way before shipping the product. Also note that the Nexus 5 sold well and that never faced any customs issue.

Also, if you've observed, the day the two watches were released, they took the headline in Google Play Store in India and a link to the product was placed right at the top. Now they are no longer at the top; Nexus 5 has taken that spot And if you are thinking that it's only coz it is out of stock, that's not the case. The US and UK site still show Android Wear on top. Only Indian Play Store has put it down. Isn't that weird?
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
All this, sadly, still sounds like an "indefinite wait", i.e.; there is absolutely no telling when we will get the device. I mean if they're waiting for more people to order it or something, that's not going to happen, also, NOW it says "out of stock"...but yea, I find it hard to believe too many people in India would be interested in this product (maybe I'm wrong).
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
Looks like the shipment team is being REALLY quiet on this front, and someone has put in a generic "due to customs issue" remark on the shipment. Having worked in a similar team I know that when we don't receive any updates we are encouraged to just put some generic remark/comment/reason and get back to customer. Spoke with a supervisor who says that she hasn't the foggiest as to what is going on basically.
[LG G Watch] Hiren7:
I have ordered an LG G watch on 26/6 and since 8th July passed I have had only one response from the play store support guys. They keep saying they no new information and the shipment is delayed due to a customs issue. I read that LG was also going to launch the watch in brick and mortar stores and so have been calling LG stores in Mumbai but surprisingly they don't even know about the product. Really sad, I really didn't expect this kind of a delay. :rolleyes: :(
[LG G Watch] saj2001ind:
well, after so many days an absolutely no news on shipment is making me cancel the order, and buy from expansys india where its 100+ in stock

http://www.expansys.in/lg-g-watch-black-263260/

I saw my credit card available banance is reduced so does this mean they just blocked that much money but havent charged it and if I cancel the order I will get all balance back
[LG G Watch] rhoadster91:
When I enquired about my credit card balance, the HDFC guys told me that my card had zero balance due, but 29998 bucks were scheduled to be charged to my card on July 17th (I have booked two watches) so if you cancel your order, you most probably wont be charged. Even if they do, you'll be refunded quite instantly. I had my Nexus 4 order canceled once in the US and the refund was very quick.
[LG G Watch] saj2001ind:
Finally cancelled play store order
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
Who's to say expansys orders won't get into customs issues coming into the country?

Which bank? Was the credit instant? I want to cancel and order it from expansys, but I don't have a credit card or the money in my account to take another 15K+ hit.
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
Anyone considering buying from Clove.co.uk?
[LG G Watch] saj2001ind:
I have ordered a lot of stuff from expansys and their delivery is spot on...

Google seems to be hiding some other issue being customs bcoz the emails I had with them so far never mentioned custom as issue at all

I used ICICI bank credit card and refund was the very next day actually they just block the amount and not actually charge the card so refund should be pretty instant

U can initiate the cancel and probably wait a day till u get ur credit card update the limit after full refund then order expansys
[LG G Watch] TjPhysicist:
have they shipped? The problem with expansys now is that I have to use my friends credit card to order it, and I feel like they won't like that I am doing it.
