Try pulling the battery, then going into recovery and doing a factory reset.

Thanks! Read somewhere else to wipe date/cache/reset. I did not do it prior to Odin which I guess may have been the problem. Appreciate it

Yes, I got the similar experience at the first time.

Since then, I did clean install and it worked just fine.
[Moto X Q&A] Kinto:
Dear ALL,

i searched for this kind of problem, but no right answers :(

Today i received the OTA UPDATE and since there were pleny of annoinyng popup warnings, i just installed the stock recovery back:

mfastboot flash boot boot.img

mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img

mfastboot flash system system.img

mfastboot reboot

(as described in Mark Venture's website)

Since installing the OTA i had a constant error (not describing the error...just generic one), i then EVEN typed:

mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

Updating "correctly", then....

...then after the update, my MOTO X rebooted itself and all it was OK, BUT mobile signal radio: NO IMEI

How can i resolve?

What could have gone wrong, updating via OTA?

Could be that once (i bought it second hand) my XT1052 4.4.2 en.EU was an american MOTO X (infact it is a 32gb version?)

But it was NEVER be downgraded...just upgraded
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
You can TRY:

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

(That erases baseband cache)

If that doesn't solve your issue, I'm sorry but I don't have any further suggestions. Post back and let us know if it works or not...
[Moto X Q&A] Kinto:
Sorry I forgot to say that I even tryed that.... But with "mfastboot" instead of "fastboot".... (just right after the non-hlos input)

Should I try with your commands? And the appropriate fastboot?

Thanks in advance!
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Nope. If you tried already (fastboot OR mfastboot), it isn't going to work.

I'm a little confused by your OP though...you say that you flashed "fsg.mbn & NON-HLOS.bin"

Well....the 4.4.2 SBF contains the NON-HOLS.bin (and it wasn't updated in the 4.4.4 OTA).

But....the 4.4.4 OTA DOES contain a NEW fsg.mbn.

So probably what you need to do is extract the fsg.mbn from the OTA zip file, and flash it back with fastboot/mfastboot. Make SURE you get it from the correct OTA Zip for YOUR version (the EU version).

Probably what has happened is that you flashed the fsg.mbn from 4.4.2 to your phone on 4.4.4 (which again, is supposed to have a NEW fsg.mbn).

After you do that, erase the modemst1 and modemst2 partitions again afterwards.

Let me know if it works.
[Moto X Q&A] superp32:
I had 2 atrix hd's have that issue after flashing custom roms, the imei was erased and the radio wouldn't turn on if you get it fixed let me know how you did it cause I'd love to give my atrix hd to my girl.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Let me ask you this...

1. BEfore you started, do you know what ROM was on your phone?

2. Did you download that exact SBF and use the files from inside that to return to stock?

3, Exactly what model X and for what carrier is it? (since you say XT1052, but later say it was an american moto x... XT1052 isn't american, so I'm guessing you had the ROM from the wrong carrier/model on there to begin with?)

If you took the 4.4.4 update, then flashed NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn from the original SBF, that is likely why you have no IMEI now.

The only 4.4.4 SBF available is the Verizon XT1060 one. so you can't get the 4.4.4 versions for your phone from it (different modem files). I don't know the commands to have someone back those up from someone who has 4.4.4 on their same model X from your same carrier. So you may be stuck waiting on the 4.4.4 SBF for your model and carrier to leak in order to repair your phone.

AND BTW... The info about the 410 error and flashing NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn was IF you got that error when following that process of flashing back to stock, NOT AFTER TAKING AN UPGRADE. In fact, that page is only about returning to stock!!
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Well he stated in his OP that it was an american model (probably XT1053) and was flashed to the XT1052 firmware before he bought it.

Also, there is an actual replacement fsg.mbn file -inside- the 4.4.4 OTA zips. The NON-HLOS.bin did not change from 4.4.2 > 4.4.4

I suggested him to find the OTA zip (for the version he is on now) and extract it, and flash the fsg.mbn file from it.

Given that, it would seem unnecessary to have someone back them up for him.....although I DO know how to do that (using Linux shell, and BusyBox 'dd'), if absolutely necessary...

Any flaws in my logic?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
As long as the fsg.mbn can be correctly extracted from the OTA.zip, that should work.
[Moto X Q&A] Kinto:
Thanks for ALL your replies!

I do not know which version it was my MOTO X in the beginning.

It is now an XT1052 EU(rope) version

How could i find the en.EU OTA 4.4.4 version now? I already flashed, so it is not anymore in my phone....

And here in XDA i just saw a brasilian version

p.s. i flashed fsg.bin and non-hlos.bin BEFORE taking the OTA...it was just to returno to stock

But i did that, even AFTER the update, because i got this radio signal problem (hoping to fix it)
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Understood. Flashing -before- was no issue. Flashing afterwards is likely what has caused you to lose your IMEI.

While I know that the EU ota is out (must be -- you updated using it), I haven't found it posted yet. Look in settings > about phone and note the system version. You might try searching based on that.....OR just ask someone to upload it for you here: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/moto-x-g-e-4-4-4-kitkat-rollout-t2805645

Keep us updated. I hope this fixed your IMEI problem, at least. Not sure if it will solve your "signal issues" - but you really haven't gone into detail about that.

Good Luck :good:
[Moto X Q&A] Kinto:
Sorry, perhaps my english is not anymore good :)

I got the IMEI problem

WITH

the OTA upgrade!

From 4.4.2 eu to 4.4.4 (done after i restocked the default recovery with the commands i initially posted)

I had no problem returning to stock recovery.

JUST the OTA upgrade gave me the problem
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
OK, yes I was quite confused:

So you suggested that you got a "constant error - generic one" after installing the OTA, and afterwards you flashed the NON-HLOS.bin and fsg.mbn

I appreciate you clarifying the situation. Your OP appeared to suggest that it happened only after flashing those files.

Now I'm really confused. Try flashing the correct fsg.mbn anyways, since you definitely have mismatched versions.

If that doesn't fix it, I'm kind of at a loss. Hopefully the full FXZ is released soon and you can fix using that if nothing else...

Just an info because i tryed almost all, except downgrading.

If i try to fastboot the FBS Verizon version 4.4.4 to my XT1052 en.EU, is there a problem?

I know it is not raccomended (i noticed that my original moto x was a xt1053 version and it was sold to me with the 4.4.2 european XT1052 version....the seller told me it was an american ones before selling it to me...for me it was good because i do not use LTE), but THIS is NOT a downgrade.

I still have the 4.4.4 OTA en.EU

What could gone bad? NO radios? i still have a telephone who can't calls...sounds odd, isn't it? :)

Just to inform you all:

I RESOLVED my problem!

Every Times when have troubles with IMEI and/or Signal, u Just need flash fsg and NON-Hlos.bin

with your original model, if that don't works then ur original operator

Like if u have a XT1056 and u flash a firmware of XT1052 all works, maybe imei but can fail, so u can use firmware of XT1052, u search a XT1056 firmware extract, search, and flash the modem files, and all works fine.

Z2 stock, unrooted. When you place the phone face-down on a flat surface, the screen locks after 5 seconds. Is there any way to disable this behaviour?

This is a problem if I'm listening to podcasts in bed at night. I put the phone face down so the screen light doesn't bother my partner, and the audio playback stops because the screen has locked. Intensely annoying and renders the phone unusable at night.

Hi. Lay something over the Display and not the Display face down. The video stops because of the "position sensor" (don't know if this is the correct english word, in german it is called "Lagesensor"). So face down stops it. But face up and put something on the Display don't stop the video.

May be this is a little helpful.

Hi ZR's users! :D

I make a personal port of eXistenZ Ultimate for my ZR. I asked to niaboc79 (dev of eXistenZ for Xperia Z) if I can publish my port for you and he refused.

So it's a bad news.

BUT, I found a port of eXistenZ Ultimate on a russian website. So I share with you all the links! :laugh:

So I can not be punished for publishing this port since it was not me who did it. I just share the links, it's Android community spirit, no?

I don't give a damn to have eXistenZ on my ZR. My bootloader is unlocked and I prefer widely ROMs like CM11 based ROMs. So, it's just solidarity for ZR's user that almost didn't have any stock based ROM with this low activity device.

Since it's not my job, I release any responsibility about this port. I haven't test the ROM because I'm on CM11. So try the ROM and post your feedbacks for other ZR's users. ;)

The merit of the work returns to the person who made the port, niaboc79 and others people thanked in niaboc79's thread. I don't know exactly who port the ROM.

Concerning the installation process and ROM presentation, read it on the Z eXistenZ thread of niaboc79. ;)

/!\ In AROMA, concerning audio, you have to select default mod otherwise headphones will not work. (It's what I have understood from russian text.)

So, the links.

[Sony Xperia ZR] Thibou:
You have to flash 1.0.0 then the OTA 1.5.5.

To make clean install you have to wipe your data before flash 1.0.0. Otherwise you must have bugs. Don't forget to make your bakup before wipe data. ;)

You must have the line "ro.sf.lcd_density=" but with the russian traduction I don't understand if the line is already set to 320 or if we have to set it after flash.

The port is a port of eXistenZ for the Xperia Z and the Xperia Z has 1080p screen so it has "ro.sf.lcd_density=480".

So I'm not sure but you can check if you have 320 or 480 in build.prop.

Are you sure that you don't have the "ro.sf.lcd_density=" line in your build.prop? :eek:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demoticator:
Hi,

I have some questions concerning the installation of PhilZ-CWM. My phone details are at the end of the message. Thanks in advance for your help !

1) Kernel overwrite

From what I understood of traditional CWM, when installing on an i9100, it overwrites the current kernel (which would mean my actual ROM, very old one, would become unusable). Does PhilZ-CWM behave the same ?

2) What to download ?

I looked at the PhilZ-CWM thread for Galaxy S2 ( http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/philz-cwm6-stock-kernel-cwm6-root-exfat-t1877270 ) but I'm not sure what to download. I saw there are 2 installation methods : via zip on external sd or via odin. It seems the first method also roots the phone and I would like to avoid that (at least on the short term, as my phone OS is out of control).

What version do I need to download on Goo.im ? The latest one (6.48.4) ? Or are there any incompatibilities with my actual phone setup (particularly the fact that it's running gingerbread) and I need to download an old one ?

3) 2.3.3 support ?

After installation, will I be able to boot into my ROM and have a fully functional phone ? Or will I have to do a full backup and install a compatible ROM ?

PS : what I can do right now with my phone (apart from recovery menu actions) is very limited because of its current state ( http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/help/low-memory-uninstall-app-connect-adb-t2836974 )

Phone details :

Galaxy S2 (i9100)

Android 2.3.3 / official ROM (as always, customized by the cellular company, but only on apps I suppose)

Version : Gingerbread.XWKE2

Kernel : 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE2-CL187606 root@DELL101 #2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nightly Coder:
Everytime you flash a Recovery, the kernel also gets overwritten. The Kernel and the Recovery are tied together.

However, the PhilZ-CWM you mentioned, is using a Stock-Kernel, which is very stable and safe.

The Kernel Version is sometimes important.

If you are planning to upgrade to ICS/JB, I would use (at least) an ICS Kernel.

If you are planning to keep Gingerbread, I would use a Gingerbread Kernel, to avoid instabilities.

Usually the method doesn't matter, but in this case the updater-script might be doing more, than the odin flash.

But as far as I know, the rooting behaviour can be changed using philz_installer.

I prefer the "zip on external sd" method, because this method is using an updater-script, which have some safety checks.

But you should also be safe, when using odin.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm afraid, that there is no gingerbread version, in this thread.

If you want a Stock Kernel and CWM you can try this thread. Don't be afraid of the rooting, you can always unroot your device at any time(*).

There is also a package which is using your Kernel (KE2). This package would therefore flash the same kernel, and you should have no problems with your ROM.

But any Gingerbread Kernel from this thread would be ok, I guess.

(*) When you root your device, a system binary called "su" is installed to /system/bin and a symbolic link at /system/xbin is created.

Nothing more, nothing less. If you remove these files, your phone is unrooted.

Flashing a GB Kernel and using a GB Rom should cause you no problems.

I'm not quite sure about ICS Kernels and GB Roms.

As far as I know, ICS is using a new file system (ext4), and it's very likely that you will not be able to boot your GB Rom.

Backup is always recommended.

You can root your device using a One-Click-Root for i9100 (this app is using the Exynos Exploit), and then delete the apps yourself with Root Explorer or ES Explorer.

You can delete the "su" binaries afterwards, and you have the same system as before.

Furthermore, flashing a Custom Recovery isn't necessary at all.

You could flash a Gingerbread Custom Recovery of your choice, make the changes you want in your system.

Then unroot the device and flash your Stock Kernel again. You can extract the Stock Kernel from the Official Firmware Updates.

Sidenote:

Flashing a custom kernel, can increase your custom binary counter (visible in Download Mode).

A stock kernel, shouldn't increase that counter. If your counter gets increased you can use the TriangleAway App.

However in my experience, flashing a Custom Recovery + Stock Kernel didn't increase my counter.

Hope this helps :victory:

Thank you!
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Take a look HERE for the list of Optimus G variants, and some compatibility notes. Here is something relevant in your case (emphasis is mine):

Regarding the modem, most ROMs in zip format don't include a modem, so you would usually keep your original, unless you want to experiment and flash a different one. Flashing a stock KDZ will overwrite everything, including BL, recovery and a modem. Before doing any flashing, it's always a good idea to do a backup of your EFS (most important!) and the modem (just in case).
[LG Optimus G (International)] ezaias:
Thanks for the complete answer, one more doubt

EFS backup (and restore, if needed) can be done by FreeGee. For the modem backup (including making a flashable zip), check out this thread.
[LG Optimus G (International)] ksio89:
EFS backup is a lifesaver, especially in flashable package. The experts here are not being too cautious when they say to backup modem and EFS partitions before flashing a new ROM, it really worths the time and effort spent.
