A Factory Cable aka Motorola Factory Programming Cable or Fastboot Cable. Allows Many Motorola Devices to be flashed without a battery or Low battery see

​

Added:[SIZE=+1]Q12: What is a SBF?[/SIZE]

Quote by cellzealot "SBF is a file type and stands for Single Binary File that is the older format of Motorola flash files for use with RSD lite or other flash tools.

They include all of the code groups, header files and checksums as well as a RAM Downloader for all of the device partition images in a single file and flashed from the legacy boot loader enumerated as a flash device.

The new format for all dual core Motorola devices is zip archive of fastboot images and an XML file that can be used with RSD lite to flash in a single operation or flashed as individual images using the fastboot binary and DLLs in the Android SDK from the fastboot boot loader and enumerated as an ADB device.

These are entirely different modes of access and operation and SBF is both wrong and a misnomer for the firmware files for current devices.

The fast boot interface provides far more flexibility and safety for flashing than the old flash interface and avoids all kinds of problems that would arise from managing and updating he firmware on newer chipset devices.

It is an extremely important distinction to make and understanding to have about how these phones work.

Please stop using SBF when referring to XML.zip files.

The current acronym for Motorola firmware files is FXZ and means Full XML ZIP file."

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestD2192:
Has anyone made any strides in a rom specifically for the SCH-R890 variant of the S4 Mini?

I've combed the internet and found nothing but roms for the international and sprint variants.

My stupid self lost my mobile network on my phone due to flashing a rom made for the i195 version since the root for that one worked I figured the rom would too.

I feel like until theres a rom just for this version my phone is worthless.

edit: seems my phone is serranolteusc and i flashed a serranoltexx rom, serrano3gxx roms do not work at all.

still working on a fix for all of this, ive probably put a combined 18 hours into this so far

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SpyderTracks:
Did you try ota update? Try with pcc instead. Ota's take longer to reach the consumer. Also did you buy an unlocked phone or from a network? If from a network then updates get passed to them first so that they can put all their bloatware on it before releasing. Some operators take months on their updates.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rirruto:
I've just encountered a strange and frustrating issue that began a couple of days ago on 7/12. I have a Galaxy S4 running 4.4.2 and a 2010 Nissan Altima. I've had my car for 4 years and have never had this issue with any of my phones until this past Saturday so I am convinced it is my phone that is the issue. The Bluetooth pairing will connect without issues (indicator on both phone and car screen indicates so) and I am able to make/receive a call with sound successfully for one time. If I a make or receive a second call, there will be no sound both on my end or the caller on the other end. I know the call connects since the call timer starts on both my phone and the car screen as well as on the caller's phone (tested out with my wife's phone while in the car). I will not even hear a ring tone, the call will just connect without sound. Even if I disconnect the Bluetooth connection, there will not be any sound coming from my handset and the caller on the other end cannot hear me when trying to perform a call. The issue can be temporarily fixed with a phone restart. After making one successful call on Bluetooth after a phone restart, the no sound issue will return. I'm not sure what to do at this point. I've re-done the phone pairing with my phone and car but the issue resurfaces. I see somebody posted a very similar issue on a different website on the same exact day I started getting the issue (Can only hear phone calls on Bluetooth) so I am wondering if we got some sort of app update that has started to interfere with Bluetooth connections. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
[HTC Droid DNA] masterj1337:
Hello,

I am having problems installing any ViperDNA KitKat ROM when I install it, The Aroma installer starts up and at the end it says set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed! Then it proceeds to tell me installation failed error 7.

Now I know this is an error that is caused by a change in code in KitKat, and you have to use a new recovery, a KitKat compatible one. I have tried the recommended TWRP .6 beta, CWM 6.0.4.5, Philz based on CWM 6.0.4.7 and TWRP 2.7. They all give me the same error. I do factory data reset and clear all cache every time. WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS. It is driving me insane. Please help me.

UPDATE 9/14/14:

Still having this error even with TWRP 2.8.0.1 and CWM 6.0.5.0, installing NuSense Six Max RC4.2. Any suggestions, I cant for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong?

EDIT: Just installed this ROM on my friends DNA with TWRP 2.7.1.0 and it worked flawlessly. I am coming to the conclusion that my phone is a piece of **** that hates me.
[HTC Droid DNA] RLGL:
TWRP 2.7.1.0 is the recovery of choice I believe the latest version is 2.7.1.1

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliveon2legs:
I've been fiddling with my G3 for a little over a day now and I can't seem to figure this one out. Several of my albums are being split in two in my G3 media player. Below is a screen shot showing Pearl Jam Ten and Vs showing up as two albums. Both should have 12 songs in them, but are split out. It seems random, too. On Ten it is the 5'th, 6'th and last song that are split out into the second album that only has 3 songs. They are all in the same folder on my SD card, and they all displayed properly when the same SD card was in my previous phone. On Vs it is the 5'th song that somehow displays as it's own Vs album.

Any ideas?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToxicSkin:
I don't own a G3, but I've had this problem on several other phones before. you have to use windows to edit the songs in question info in properties. Depending on where you got the music from, a lot of the properties info is not there or messed up so the phone splits it up to where the info for songs match up hence why you have 2 different albums for the same one. Gets worse if the album has a lot of ppl credited on the songs then the music player will spit each song into its own album. Take all the music that's split off your device. Use Windows to edit the properties/track info so it ALL matches, and then throw them back on your device. You should be good after that.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aliveon2legs:
Thanks, that certainly seems to do the trick. I'm coming from 3 generations of HTC's, so I guess their players are a bit less sensitive to the details.

an Other idea ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] keinerf:
Same problem on Vodafone Germany. There's no solution for this I fear, so

we're stuck with the stupid voicemail icon on today screen.

Problem lies within handling of the special UDH Voicebox SMS Vodafone sends,

Hermes does not put them into inbox. Might be solved if someone is able to

patch this handler (might be deeply hidden inside WM5) or write some MAPI

interceptor.

BTW, VF UK users can configure some different voicebox that delivers plain SMS

the the phone, but that's obviously not available for us.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevieRamone:
Folks,

I joined forums to ask this specific question - never had to join before coz I always found what I was lookin for ;)

I have a Samsung Note 3 and would love to root it, because, oh my gosh that bloatware doesn't half get under my skin - it respawns more often than a Thalidomide playing Quake.

There is only one thing putting me off - the camera software - I can't find a specific Note 3 Camera apk and hey, I had a Nexus 4 - great hardware specs, poor delivery on the software side IMHO. But I love the Samsung software for the camera and it was a major reason why I bought the phone.

Is there any way to maintain the quality of the camera after rooting? Anyone used anything that stands up as well as the Samsung software?

Whilst I like the software overall, a huge boost is the 60 fps Smooth motion setting on the video - really like to keep something along those lines.

Thanks in advance,

Steve
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
Rooting the phone has no effect on the quality of the camera/camcorder

or it's options, features and specs.

If you stick with Samsung Touchwiz Note 3 based custom roms here in

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slarti77:
Hey all,

I setup the stock e-mail app to sync to my comcast account when I got the phone in Jan of this year. No issues until yesterday , when I received the message that I couldn't send mail because there was not enough disk space. This happened once before, so I started to delete somethings and I kept getting the message when I would try and reply to an e-mail. I kept receiving e-mails, I only couldn't send. I cleared the cache, that didn't help, then I force stopped the app. Finally I deleted all the e-mails in trash and that seemed to help. But then the app went into a sync loop where it just would sync and not let me have control. After a few reboots of the phone, things seemed to be working....

Seemed to be working is the operative phrase, now it will only very inconsistently download e-mails. it says it is syncing, but nothing downloads.

Any idea would be appreciated

Thx

MetroPCS emailed me the unlock codes finally but they did not give me any instruction. When I google instructions I get a lot of spam sites trying to sell me code, Hope someone here could help.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] hristopelov:
easiest method:

pull out your SIM card and put in an non supported SIM card... if you are locked to metroPCS than anything else like T-Mobile, AT&T etc, doesnt need to be working in service card even..

a box will pop out informing you that a non-supported SIM has been inserted and to enter a code if you want to unlock the phone.

put i the code they send you in the field and press "OK"

this is just a one time thing, once you do that, your phone will remain unlocked even of you factory reset it or update the firmware/OS or you install a diferend ROM.

[Moto X Android Development] m0yP:
Hello all

So here I am in my first topic :laugh:

For Mac users can be tough to work with commands, which most of it has to be done in order to perform stuff in our Moto X.

Instead of having to mount virtual machines in order to have access to Windows' stuff. Or the Android SDK has to be installed, browse to specific folders to run commands from them, etc.

We can work directly in our precious Terminal! :victory:

So, I made a little script that will allow Mac users to work directly on Terminal, no matter which folder we are working on. I've included the following files:

adb

fastboot

mfastboot (Motorola's modified version of fastboot)

To Install

Run Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app)

Browse to the folder in which the script resides, i.e., if it’s in Desktop, then type in Terminal “cd Desktop/ADBInstall” (without quotes).

To run the script type “./install.sh” (without quotes).

You will see input on the screen.

That’s it :)

To Uninstall

You can safely remove the 3 files in one command, just run the uninstall.sh script by following step 1 and 2 from the Install section. Instead of following step 3, type the following in Terminal: “./unistall.sh” (without quotes).

Hope you like it :)
[Moto X Android Development] HeroOfTime:
Hey, thanks for creating this script. However, I am running into a problem. I run ./install.sh, it runs through the install text, but when I try to run an adb command to test it out, I get the following error: -bash: ./adb: No such file or directory. I went into /usr/bin/ and adb, fastboot and mfastboot all show up there and can run when I'm in the directory, but if I'm outside of the directory, it won't run. Any suggestions? Cheers.
[Moto X Android Development] m0yP:
It's weird, though.

Did it ask for your password? You can force root access by typing: "sudo ./install.sh" instead.

Can you show me your input screen on Terminal after running the installer?
[Moto X Android Development] HeroOfTime:
Thanks for looking into this for me. Yes, it did ask for my password. Here is what I get after running the installer:

Jareds-MBP:ADBinstall Jared$ ./install.sh

This will install ADB, Fastboot and mFastboot on your computer.

Root Permissions required. Please type your password.

Password:

Changed directory to /Users/Jared/Desktop/ADBinstall

Copying ADB...

ADB copied to /usr/bin/adb

Copying Fastboot...

Fastboot copied to /usr/bin/fastboot

Copying mFastboot...

mFastboot copied to /usr/bin/mfastboot

You may now run Android Debug Bridge, Fastboot and mFastboot commands

Have a nice day :)

I'm attaching a screenshot of the output as well, but that is the output I get, which seems correct.
[Moto X Android Development] m0yP:
Np! Yes, it seems correct.

So, if you run, let's say, "adb devices" you get the bash error?

Did you try to close session and open a new one?

Regards
[Moto X Android Development] HeroOfTime:
Exactly. adb devices has been my test command. Yeah, I tried closing out the session, I logged off using the 'exit' command and quit Terminal.

Just odd that it installs fine and shows up in /usr/bin, but I can't get it to work. I am running the beta of OS X Yosemite, but I doubt that would impact anything, since it installs.

Hmmm... Weird stuff.
[Moto X Android Development] m0yP:
Really weird! I'm using Mavericks, but I also doubt this may cause the script not to work.

Here's my Terminal window running from my user's main folder.

I don't know what else to try man. The only option is to take them out of usr/bin and just create a "work" folder to use them. That's how I started :confused:

Best
[Moto X Android Development] HeroOfTime:
Well thanks a lot for your help. Still a great resource. I will keep playing around with things and maybe get it to work.

Thanks again!
[Moto X Android Development] m0yP:
Not a problem my friend. Good luck!
[Moto X Android Development] peterpressure:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] arty93:
Hi guys,

Quick question... I'm trying to sync music between my note 10.1 2014 and galaxy note 2. I downloaded google play music and I can sync music from my PC to my devices by downloading "music manager" for the PC which uploads them to the server

My question is if I Download a song on my phone can I somehow put it on the google play server so that it syncs to my devices??

....I guess I could copy the song to my computer and then sync it using music manager but that is a lot of steps... Would just like go upload to the server from my note 2
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] buhohitr:
OK, you should setup your sync in a right way so that you could access the SAME content from ANY devices. The source should be store on the cloud so you could access from any devices and from any where. 2 way sync should be used so that when you change/modify/edit from any devices it should update your central source location then sync to all other devices Here how I did mine:

1) On your PC install Google Drive - This will create an offline folder on your PC where it auto sync to your Google drive cloud storage. If you change/modify/add the Google drive on your PC, it will update the Drive on the cloud. For the PC you should allow ALL folders/files to be sync to the cloud.

2) On your device - install "Google Drive" and "Autosync for Google Drive" - On the device, open Autosync for Google Drive and select ONLY folder you want to sync, obviously you don't want to sync other folders, cause you don't need to. In your case, choose Music folder from the Cloud and select 2 way sync. Done

Now if you download songs to your PC, these songs will auto upload to Google Drive (cloud), then sync to ALL of your devices that you configure to sync. Same thing if you download songs to one your device (phone/tablet), it will auto sync to the cloud then again auto sync to your PC and other devices. As you can see your PC and all your devices always in sync, no matter which device you modify or add.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] arty93:
Thank you! I will try this today... But one quick question if the files are on google drive I can only play them through google drive.... Is there a way I can play them through a music player? Like google music?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] buhohitr:
Not a problem, if your music stored on Google drive, if you tab on the song, it will ask which player you want to use (what ever players are installed on your device), of course Google play music is in there, you can install third party player like Poweramp etc... and pick one as default player so next time it won't ask to choose anymore.
