[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielmk:
I tried to flash a CM11 rom and had some boot loop issues.

Tried to wipe everything and reinstalling using both TWRP, CWM and Philz touch. Nothing Worked.

Rolled back to Stock ROM (4.4.3) and got my phone back, however: My WIFI toggle wouldn't work.

Don't know what is happening and can't find a way to make it work again. Can someone help me out over there?

Hello guys,

I recently got enough money for buying a new phone so I looked on the web and I founded the Xperia SP and the S3 and I might think that they should be good for my needness. Well the only thing I personally don't know is which device to choose... I don't know if I should go for more community and bugfree CM11 and a camera but with the "laggy" Touchwiz UI (or at least, many people are saying that) and a slower CPU and GPU or should I go for more speed, more premium materials but for the snappy but ugly Xperias Timescape and a little bit buggy CM11... Well I hope You guys can help me which to decide

The most thing I only do is playing Clash Of Clans, listening to music, use social networks and sometime play Asphalt 8 and ofc, experiment with ROMs

Thanks to everyone

I own both the devices and Xperia SP beats S3 anytime anyday.

Xperia's UI is finesse but the things I like the most about this devices are the Walkman App, urm the ligh bands at the bottom, the way coc runs (Like butter).

The Things i like about S3, AMOLED screen, rest of it, poop!

I cant get my At&T LG G3 to text to a iPhone user over the 160 limit. I can send any amount to another android and it works just fine. Just seems to be an issue with the iPhone for some reason. Normally, and on my HTC ONE, it would just split em up into 2 or multiple texts.. Well now it just cuts off at the 160 mark.. Any ideas?

I am using the stock app. I have not tried hangouts, primarily cuz I'm not a big fan, and I actually really like the quick reply option on the G3..

Thanks
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ascertion:
Sprint and Verizon users are limited to 160 characters in sms. You can try to enable the "split 160 character sms" setting. If it's not there I'm not sure exactly what else can be done.

Alternatively you can try Hangouts and see if it works with that to isolate the issue is the messenger app.

[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
since the phone maintains the 2 pushed files on the phone after reboot, is it possible to make an app that can be run from the phone itself to run the two adb commands of Pie root that do the rooting?
[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
Well Google now doesn't work worth an iPhone. .I've spoken those last two lines ADB shell commands out loud for the past 15 minutes and I don't get root
[Moto X Q&A] Neighbor808:
You cannot do it from the phone. That method lacks sufficient permissions
[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
I'm starting to believe you....
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
We KNOW that the commands MUST be run from ADB (and not from a SHELL, as your screenshot shows you have tried).....

But before we discount the idea completely, perhaps an experienced DEV could commend on this possibility:

Guys, have a look at this thread regarding running adb commands (through adb wireless) from another android device:

http://androidforums.com/android-applications/783226-run-adb-shell-another-android-phone.html

See the last 2 posts. This user successfully connected one android device to another via WiFi and was able to run adb commands.

Now first, I know that "ADB Wireless" requires root access, however there are 2 non-root variants aptly called "ADB Wireless (No Root)" -- see the play store.

Having read up on those specific apps, I've found that they require you to first connect the USB cable to the PC, and run an adb command to activate ADB over WiFi. What I'm not sure about is if you must do this each time the phone is rebooted. If not, then we have the possibility to actually run adb commands through TCP/IP possibly from the phone itself.

Consider the possibility of using the loop-back address...for instance: adb connect 127.0.0.1 in order to achieve a connection to the device itself.

If the adb command to activate adbwireless on non-rooted devices must be run each time the phone is rebooted, then this solution is probably going to go nowhere....but its worth checking out nonetheless....

We would definitely need a working adb binary for the Moto X in order for this to be possible at all.

See this link: http://forums.androidcentral.com/be...ol-native-adb-fastboot-your-phone-tablet.html

This user has repacked the adb and fastboot binaries (called "kadb" and "kfastboot") so they can be run on an android device itself. The intention is to use USB-OTG to connect another android device and run adb commands on the connected device.

^^ This definitely shows that it is possible to at least run adb commands from another android device connected via USB-OTG.

I know that many users are looking for a way to use PIE without having to connect to the PC after each reboot, hence the reason the "TowelRoot" app has had so much interest...

Unfortunately, TowelRoot has inherent limitations, because of the SU context (Non--Trusted App) as I understand. Several of us (myself included) have attempted to reach out to the developer for comment as to why this SU context is being used, and whether or not it can be modified to use the "Kernel" SU context that jcase is using with PIE, but none of us have received a response....

Do any experienced DEVS care to comment on the possibility of using the methods I have described, or something similar?

EDIT: Also, [MENTION=5798709]doitinthedirt[/MENTION] : have you tried to unlock your bootloader via the middleman? Or do you have a 2013 variant that he can not access the code for? The BL unlock solution is far superior to any of these temp-root methods, and it is permanent. (disregard if you already know this and are unable to obtain a code...)
[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
I was running those commands from the same phone.. it was on a wifi network only to access internet. i used an app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spartacusrex.spartacuside

Only had about 10 minutes to mess around with it.. going to experiment more tonight.. and another app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm

The wireless from my nexus 7 was going to be my next try if i I couldnt get anywhere running from phone itself. And no I have not tried the middleman.. phone is july 3 2014 make so going to send a paypal to him and see if i get a code to unlock.
[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
Getting nowhere..
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you are still trying to run the commands from a terminal SHELL. We -know- that this won't work. I'm not sure you understand what I was trying to express in my earlier post. I will attempt to experiment with the kadb binary, but you shouldn't continue trying to do this from ANY terminal emulator - it simply won't work, as [MENTION=4986845]Neighbor808[/MENTION] has correctly advised...

Both of the apps you have linked ARE terminal emulators (hence running from SHELL).

If an experienced DEV could read my post, they might be able to comment further.

EDIT: I believe this is a lost cause:

From the dev who compiled the kadb binary: "Note : You do not need to be rooted, you do however need a custom recovery or temp boot a custom recovery."

This means that it should -absolutely- work for those of us who are unlocked, but definitely not temp-rooted.

Additionally, the AdbWireless method seems to fall short as well. It will probably work, but only if you connect to your PC first to run an ADB command to activate adb over WiFi, which defeats the whole idea of not having to use a PC.

The only method that IS viable for those of you using PIE, is the USB-OTG method. If you have ANOTHER android device (NOT your X) that:

1. has custom recovery

and

2. supports USB-OTG

Then you could purchase a USB-OTG cable, install the flashable zip containing the kadb and kfastboot binaries from the post I linked earlier, and run the ADB commands FROM the 2nd device.

This may be an option for you. Assuming you have installed custom recovery on your Nexus 7 (it definitely supports USB-OTG), you should be able to install the flashable zip, and run the commands from your Nexus 7 (just like you would from a PC, except using the command "kadb" instead of "adb".....i.e.:

kadb shell chmod 755 /data/local/atvc/root.sh

kadb shell /data/local/atvc/root.sh

I see no reason that this would not work....all the other methods I suggested have been eliminated as possibilities during my research/testing.

I don't, however, see how this is any better than simply connecting to your pc and running the adb commands the traditional way.

Good Luck

Um... Pointing out the inherent limitations of the towel root and why it doesn't work for many and causes issues for others. I'm going to assume that because you are using the XDA app, you didn't see the quote attached to my post, but if you view it in a browser you should understand the point I was making...

I'm glad that towel root is actually working for you. Are you experiencing the random reboots?

[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Not entirely accurate. Some have managed to use after rooting with PIE, but it does cause issues for many and (once again) has inherent limitations due to the SU context being used.

---------- Post added at 02:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------

I don't think hovax is foolish enough to mistakenly believe he has root when he does not lol. He has obviously managed to get it to work for him, as have many others. I am curious if he is experiencing the problems that many others are with towel root, however.
[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
a simple screenshot showing root access in system folder like this one from my other moto x running ios 4.4 rooted with slap, that will convince me
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
If it was possible, I would have thought JCASE would have released it that way, instead of having to do the process while connected to the PC.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
You have to realize that many users including hovax are much more experienced than you seem to be. All the proof you should need is located in the towel root discussion thread.

Remember: you were trying to -speak- adb commands using Google now in order to root your phone...

Some of your comments are likely being taken as insults...

EDIT: I won't be posting any further in this thread. This idea is going nowhere and (obviously) does not belong in the original android development sub-forum.

EDIT2: Mods moved the thread to the appropriate location, so I will continue posting here.

[Moto X Q&A] hovax615@hotmail.com:
For some reason the XDA app is only letting me show one picture at a time when I post. In entirely I use towel root everyday BUT I think there is a catch, you first must need to root via pie root being able to push su into the system folder jcase created the root for, that's from my understanding BUT I rsdlite factory reset my device meaning no su files would be on my device then used towel root to tether root my device same as pie root. There's no reason to lie on this forum. Why would I make something up just to get a kick out of you? I'm not that type of person if you want proof you can see XT1058 at&t model device.
[Moto X Q&A] :
I don't think the guy read the instructions I posted a few weeks ago. He's probably just trying to run towelroot. I posted a video above.
[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
Thanks.. and regarding Jon.. why not just post the link instead of use profanity? thanks for the video. a bit fast but was kind of what I wanted to see. I am pretty computer literate.. if I cant' figure out something i stick with it until I figure it out. Now several people here have said they rooted a moto x and I haven't been successful at it. but my time limit is up with this.. it is not a simple thing to do. I have installed android sdk and rooted with jcases Pie several times.. also rooted with pawn and slap several times on a 4.4 moto x.

This towelroot is not simple.. If someone wants to provide step by step instructions from a bone stock moto x, that works consistently like Pie for everyone.. not a select few here and there on a sunny day at 3 am and sometimes noon, now that would be something I would be interested in

Thanks for the help

[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
You're right....that was a good one. Here: I gave you some 'thanks' for that :silly:
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
I think the towelroot instructions in -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/towelroot-discussion-thread-t2801003 are pretty clear and easy to fillow. While I haven't used it (since my bootloader is unlocked), it looks pretty easy.

While those instructions do list Jcase's PIE as a pre-requisite, and links to the PIE thread, it doesn't give "easy" instructions to install/use PIE too, but you said you've already used it several times, so you should be ok with that.

Then again, the two posts in that Towelroot thread (Post 108 and Post 120, do a pretty good job explaining why Towelroot isn't working consistently.

From what I understand Neither PIE, nor Towelroot work once Android 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 are installed on the X, so unless you will not be upgrading, all of this will be a moot point in the coming weeks anyway.

If you want something "easy" and "consistent" consider unlocking your bootloader, flashing twrp, installing SuperSU from twrp, and be happy no matter what ROM is on your phone.
[Moto X Q&A] hovax615@hotmail.com:
Towel root is pretty simple and straight forward. No commands to run all you have to do is click the towel root sign 3 times it'll pop up the numbers change the last 0 to a 1 then make it rain. Simple as that. Install xposed don't reboot yet install busybox and run power menu and hot reboot.
[Moto X Q&A] doitinthedirt:
I never installed exposed.. was under impression it wasnt needed. i did install busybox but never figured out what it is.
[Moto X Q&A] iKrYpToNiTe:
Towelroot works on 4.4.3 when I was testing the app I was working on combining TR and parts of PIE I was able to get it to work and mount the xbin.img, the context su runs at is the only limitation! If I could or someone else help me figure out how to correct the context I could finish the app up, and have the option to re-root the phone on boot!
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Have you read this part of Chainfire's How-to SU ?

http://su.chainfire.eu/#selinux-contexts-switching-how

I reviewed the relevant parts, but have a limited understanding of it...
[Moto X Q&A] iKrYpToNiTe:
Yeah I've read that several times and have tried changing the context the way it states, but no go :(
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
I also found this interesting: http://www.all-things-android.com/content/android-and-linux-kernel-towelroot-exploit

"As of the writing of this article, KitKat 4.4.3 and KitKat 4.4.4 are immune to the futex flaw."

I'm curious how it is able to work on 4.4.3 at all. I wonder if the SELinux policy has not been changed to "Enforcing" yet...

Another source says that any Kernel with a build date AFTER June 3rd is immune, so perhaps a slight few 4.4.3 kernels had a build date prior to that.

EDIT: It looks like that IS the case (see screenshot). Looks like at least the T-Mobile & Brazil Retail 4.4.3 Kernels were built BEFORE June 3rd...

So those who haven't received an update to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 yet are unlikely to be able to use this exploit once updated, assuming the Kernel build date is after June 3rd. We will see...
[Moto X Q&A] Dmiller2007:
This may or may not help anyone, but I rooted my 4.4.2 Verizon Moto X using PIE on my computer. Obviously this doesn't survive a reboot. I also installed the busybox app and towelroot. What I do if I have to reboot the phone is

1. Run towelroot

2. go straight to root browser app Data>>Local>>ATVC and execute the root.sh script

3. Install busybox (usually already installed but doesn't hurt to run it again)

4. Go to Xposed and install the framework

5. Powermenu app and do a hot reboot

I noticed that just using towelroot doesn't always seem to work or that some apps don't get root permission that need them. Maybe I'm doing unnecessary steps but using that method gets me (mostly) fully functioning root after every reboot. If I'm misinformed, someone smarter than myself please let me know ;)
[Moto X Q&A] iKrYpToNiTe:
Well I had a duh moment with that post, I was testing TR on my 4.4.3 rom which is still using the 4.4.2 kernel, sorry about that I was half asleep when I posted that :( But yeah your logic is correct if it was built after June 3 it probably will not work unless they also pulled a duh moment lol!
[Moto X Q&A] braddroidx24:
What if your data main folder is empty? I have no local folder in it.
[Moto X Q&A] Dmiller2007:
In my experience, if I clicked the data folder and nothing comes up, it means that the phone wasn't rooted properly. Either with the original PIE method or with TowelRoot. I would try towelroot again and if it doesn't work then maybe try running PIE again via USB cable and a PC.
