[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mylesfool:
Hello all, I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction!

I recently received a rooted (towelroot) Motorola Droid Razr M on 4.4.2 KK and as I unlocked the bootloader I am now stuck in a constant loop ? The only thing that appears when plugging in the phone is the (Warning Bootloader Unlocked) screen, I was able to get into fast boot last night but this morning it is not allowing me to do so ? ( I accidentally unplugged my charger last night ) and since trying to recharge it's not allowing fastboot ( Power + vol+ vol- ) ????? (is there another sequence that can be performed)?

I'm at a complete loss, I have already downloaded the lastest version of RSD lite (which the device is not showing at all) and the xt907 4.4.2 stock rom.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

PLEASE HELP :D

Thanks again,

From a n00b

Hi guys!

I finaly tryed to flash my 1st rom on this divice, so I used TWRP to backup cm11s stock rom, then i just flashed Mokee Rom and worked well, but I didnt like it so i used TWRP again but this time to restore the CM11s stock rom.

All worked well, but the lockscreen not,

I tryed to clean cache and dalvik cache via TWRP, change theme, change wallpaper and nothing worked :(

And i cant submit the video because of my posts bahh
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
So is your lockscreen background not the same as your wallpaper? Kind of confused on what you're asking but,

Try Settings -> Themes -> Lock Screen Wallpapers -> Clear

Alright I am absolutely PI$$ED OFF. I installed 2.0.0 earlier this morning and I've been at it all day trying to fix all the stuff that "update" broke. Moment I installed it my wifi & camera ceased to function, moments later WhatsApp is crashing. So after trying to fix those issues I gave up and restored a backup back to 1.8.0 right? Well now my wifi and camera work but all of Googles bull**** is crashing (google play services, something else) and WhatsApp is still messed up. I installed a new copy of gapps and the google crashing is still persisting. WhatsApp I can't really do much about because I'm using an old number on it to prevent from giving people my new one and i don't want to lose that privilege. The only way I can even use my phone is by slowly getting to Titanium backup and freezing them all. I've wiped my /system, /cache and dalvik cache about 5 times and still no luck. I can't even begin to see how this could relate to my /data partition as I was sure to not let the 2.0.0 update touch it but if it is then please tell me cause I am so fed up right now that I'm ready to toss this phone into a wall then snap it in half and set it on fire.

(THIS IS ABOUT ViperROM)

What in the the Nar Shadda do I have to do to fix these phone wrecking issues? I just want to use the version I've been using for the past month or so again, honestly if I'd known I would have to deal with this much crap I never would've EVER installed this update.

Now on to a little less venting and to more explaining, I've had this wifi issue that I had on 2.0.0 back when I first switched to KitKat on my old Galaxy S4. The camera issue I have never experienced and none of the fixes fixed it except downgrading to 1.8.0, the camera would never display anything on the default camera app & when i downloaded googles camera it would say "Can't connect to camera". on the google apps topic i figured installing a new gapps would solve it but apparently i am wrong. Whatsapp issue i haven't the slightest clue.

Sounds like some sort of firmware problem to me.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pball52998:
First thing. Before you ever take a update... Have you ever heard of a nandroid...

Second. Did you check your md5?

Third. Actually try wiping your data partition... When switching ROMs or even doing a update to a ROM with a new version such as 4.4.3 from 4.4.2 it's smart to wipe data and everything except internal and external SD card.

Forth. Why did you install a new GAPPS? That WILL cause crashes...

Fifth. We don't have updated firmware for 4.4.3 with a 2.22 base. That will cause some issues. It's a given.

Sixth. Have you tried a clean flash of viper 2.0?

Seventh. Have you tried installing another ROM. If so did you have the issues there.

I agree with person above me...don't flash viper 2.0 till we have 4.4.4 firmware.

An why not flash stock recovery do a factory reset an then go one about your way with it back to out of box set up.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
I didn't really read up too much on 4.4.3 other than it was a security patch I believe? & I considered that but I had tons of messages which I would lose that were important beyond what I'm willing to explain. In the end I said f*** it and just restored my 12 day old backup. Really the only thing stopping me from doing that is my WhatsApp account, I have it setup to use one of my old phone numbers so I never have to disclose real information when I want to give someone my WA. Losing that would mean giving a lot of people something I really don't want to give out...

Now onto the person above me and his idea of my Nandroid doings, yes I have some but I don't have the storage to keep making them everytime I flash something which is practically every week knowing me. & before someone tells me to quit being a lazy "idiot" I simply don't want to spend the time deleting my backups every month when I run out of storage, much un-needed inconvenience. Yup could put them on PC, too bad I'm also running out of storage there too. Could use cloud, no, not into putting my private information and files onto a highly vulnerable privacy invading idiotic creation. In before someone insults me for calling the cloud idiotic, yes it is. I stand by that and have no intents on replying to anyone that may bring that up.

Onto the /data topic, it shouldn't have even touched my data partition if it was just a mere "update". & just now I went and read up on 4.4.3/4.4.4 and the differences = Bug fix & Security update (4.4.4). Most ROM's I've seen actually tell you you don't have to wipe /data unless coming from another ROM, simply that it's better to do it. If it was really such a necessity it should've been stated or stated more seriously/obviously. If 2.0.0 was like Jellybean to Kitkat or Kitkat to Lollipop then yeah i'd understand. If someone with a higher knowledge would like to enlighten me as to why my /data was ruined from such a minor update then feel free to tell me (no more cocky responses after this please, civil only.). Maybe 4.4.2 to 4.4.3 really is a big deal and I just don't realize it & actually it could be the firmware thing the guy above mentioned could be a good reason for it but something I read tells me otherwise, just can't remember it at the moment.

Lastly just incase pball sees this again, for the lols that is.

1. No of course not, I did hear something about a Bandroid 2014 though. Heard it bans all the sarcastic insulting comments to OP's on the internet.

2. No.

3. Might try that if it's ever serious enough to require it. <3.

4. Because I was quite sure it would reinstall the google services, and if you install the correct version for your ROM/OS version I'm pretty sure it shouldn't cause any problems, could be wrong though. Anyways it was not the cause of my GServices crashing anyways.

5. Thanks for the info, I'll consider that next time.

6. Clean as in without wiping /data, yes. With wiping data, no.

7. Yes & the problem went away but I restored to my 12 day old backup of Viper anyways and it's solved now.

52998. Hello!

Anyways problem solved!

You can easily store text on cloud well factory reset. Just FYI. But glad your all set.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] teddyearp:
There is no correct version of gapps for the ViperOne ROMS. I usually only save the last two nandroid backups as long as everything seems to be working ok. If you want to save the older ones, well . . . . but you don't have the space on your pc. And sdcards are getting real cheap
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] pball52998:
Hello, I am back. Just a suggestion in a civil manner. Could you try backing all of your apps up. Make a backup of what you have now, just incase something happens again.. Then, go in and flash the new viper 2.0 or 2.0.1 either or is fine. Please do a clean install. Meaning wipe your data partition. Not your internal SD card not external. In viper I know it gives the option to do a clean install. Please consider actually trying it and seeing the outcome. What's the worst it could do? As for the GAPPS. HTC uses there own personal GAPPS, so it might clash with let's say banks minimal GAPPS. It's not containing the same files and they may just clash with each other. Causing more crashes and instability than before. Somewhat make sense? Lastly, I wasn't trying to be "snarky" or "sarcastic". I may have came across that way, because the way the original post is stated sounds very problematic to some. I went through and listed all the things that could have gone wrong or been happening. Because a lot of ROM threads do mention clean installs with updates or new ROMs. I've seen lots of threads. "If you're having problems please wipe you data, cache, and dalvik cache partition or clean install the ROM again.

Tl;Dr actually try a clean install and check the md5 for matching numbers. A clean install can solve a lot of issues.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Yes I'll back up the apps tomorrow, I used to do that with titanium and make a flashable zip but It rarely occurs to me to use Titanium anymore. Matter of fact 90% of the time I don't even realize I have it or it even exists. Last time I did it I did the wrong option which probably turned me off from it anyways soo I'll just have to pay attention this time.

I'll install 2.0 another day, too traumatized after my last experience to mess with it again LOL.

On the GAPPS topic yes it makes sense, I was unaware HTC had their own as it doesn't really say anywhere that they do or at least I haven't found anything stating such yet up until your response but yes it makes 100% sense.

& yeah I understand, I was quite frustrated and angry at the time and probably should've waited til I calmed down before originally posting this thread. Anyways my bad for even calling you out on that, I didn't originally plan to respond due to my natural urge to wanna retaliate when I feel I've been insulted, mocked or other words "attacked". Not literally attacked but you get what I'm saying, felt like I needed/wanted to be on the defensive. If that even makes sense, oh well.

Lastly, as to the "If you're having problems please wipe you data, cache, and dalvik cache partition or clean install the ROM again." I may have just skimmed over that and maybe just completely ignored the data part in my head. Having read so many I don't really bother to read anything other than the features and some other stuff anymore. I'd say what other stuff but I'm tired and can't think of it at the moment.

Anyways, thanks for trying to help even though my original post sounded like it was made by an idiotic jack***. How frustration & anger makes you change eh? & apologies for responding to what I thought was a "snarky & offensive" reply with attempt to try the same thing. Night!

My viperone 2.0 works just fine on my verizon m8 boot times are really slow but it works a lot smoother and faster with the update. I will deal with long boot times as its woth it to me, no other problems on mine.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
May I ask if you wiped your /data when you installed it? (clean installed)
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Roefastford:
No I dirty flashed from 1.8 to 2.0.0 then I dirty flashed from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 because the ota kept coming back corrupt download so I just flashed the full rom to get from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tigerstown:
SD cards cheap? Um buy a class 10 scandisk ultra 64g top of the line not cheap by any means it might cost you 70 bucks like mine did but well worth it. Viper ROM needs no gapps its a sense ROM so I'm confused with that.

Are there any roms for the AT&T Galaxy Mega 6.3? I'm getting annoyed of Samsung Android. Want stock Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] azpatterson3:
Nope. The AT&T Galaxy Mega is locked down tight. If you are on Kitkat, there isn't even root, yet. Developer interest has been minimal. I had this phone for almost a year and finally jumped ship for a Note 3. I liked the Mega but sorry to say, you are stuck with their stock ROM unless something big happens with development.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Niño Gordo:
Greeting, as the title said i just bought a Moto G and i'm happy with it but i'd like to delete all the bloatware and improve it a little bit especially speed, battery usage and the camera. Do you have any advice? I'm thinking of trying a custom rom or a different kernel but i read everywhere that all the stock stuff is better so i wonder if i'm doing the right thing.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
Stay with stock for now so you get a clearer idea of how it compares to custom ROMs, if you go that route in the future. With Xposed Framework, you can achieve much of what a custom ROM offers.

I personally run Stock Motorola Firmware and Faux kernel and I'm seeing much better battery life than with stock kernel.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Niño Gordo:
Thanks for the advice, to be able to delete all those useless apps from motorola and google i have to do the "root" procedure isn't?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tight Git:
Yes that's correct - I'm running stock 4.4.4 rooted, after trying a few custom ROMs I reverted back to stock.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vpnair:
You can 'disable' them without root. No need to delete apps unless you really want to save space.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Niño Gordo:
I have the 8GB version so i could use some extra space and i'm kinda of a neat freak :D I decided to remain stock but now i have two options.

1) Disable unwanted apps and optimize the settings to improve every possible thing.

2) Unlock the Bootloader + Root + Xposed Framework and Gravity Box

I'm a little afraid of the risks in rooting it but if i can get greater performance i can live with it. What do you recommend?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
The benefits of rooting far out way the drawbacks. Check out the Xposed module DS Battery Saver. I'm not even losing a single percent of battery life during the night now.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mokkami:
Only you know for yourself what right is.

If it tingles in your fingers to root your phone then do so.

After rooting you'll have a lot more tuning and themeing capabilities as if you are not rooted.

But what i recommend is that you should wait a certain amount of time, maybe a monoth or something to see that you will not get a hardware failure out of the box.

As long as your Hardware is not faulty in any way and you do not do anything stupid with your phone, there is no reason to be afraid.

Keep in mind that your warrabty might be lost.

In case of any problems nearly all questions, how to's and answers can be found in this forum.

FYI: I am rooted.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Niño Gordo:
That's what i hoped to hear but why are there so many procedures for rooting? I found like 10+ guides on this forum about how to root the Moto G and i don't know which one is more reliable.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
1) Download UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip on phone.

2) Flash custom Recovery (i.e Philz touch) via Fastboot.

3) Enter custom Recovery and flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Niño Gordo:
Thanks, is it possible to permanently damage the phone or decrease the overall performance after the bootloader+root unlocking? I'm doing this to make it smoother and faster but i read that some applications may not work anymore and I may lose some key functions like telephone, radio, and audio playback.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
Read as much as can and ask if still unsure. The only I know that you can really damage your phone is by running the Fastboot command:

fastboot erase all​

You will see people on here posting about "lost imei" - or "imei = 0." Those people have accidentally or deliberately run the above command.

As long as you never run this fastboot command, the Moto G is pretty much unbrickable. If experience any major problem you can always flash via fastboot a Motorola stock firmware image and that will cure it.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Niño Gordo:
Thanks, I finally decided to unroot it, last 2 questions:

1) Is it still possibile to receive all the Android updates after the rooting? I read here that many users were unable to do it.

2) What's a GPE Firmware? It is better than my 4.4 Kitkat?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
Rooting can prevent OTA (over the air) updates - however it is possible to remove root - also you can always flash the full firmware images (see Development section). You will also see many people have issues after applying an update. My personal view: is avoid it and always start off fresh by flashing the full firmware image. Basically rooting will not stop you from getting the latest version of Android on your phone.

GPE firmware is intended for the Google Play Edition of Moto G, but will work on pretty much any variant. It is essentially the same firmware on the surface as stock Motorolas, minus their apps. There are no benefits and numerous limitations. I can't speak too much from experience, but as far as I am aware you will be unable to use many of the custom kernels or custom ROMs. This is due to the differences in the GPE filesystem and kernel. The reason for it's popularity is that people believed having the GPE model / firmware installed would mean you get the latest OTA updates much more quickly but this has proven to not be the case.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Niño Gordo:
Flashing the full Firmware at every update will delete my apps or settings?

I don't intend to use any apps from Motorola is it still better to remain on my Kitkat? I read that the GPE version is more stable and faster but it could be not true.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
To avoid potential issues, it's better to completely wipe phone and start new. You will also get the best experience starting fresh. The Motorola apps are small, disable or remove them if you want. The stock ROM is very close to pure Android. GPE is no more stable or faster than the non-GPE firmware.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vpnair:
I agree with lost101.

Root is far more advantageous. As long as your phone has no hardware complaints, go ahead and do it. Unlocking bootloader and rooting itself does make the phone a little quicker. But you will find the stock Moto Rom is already nicely optimised especially if you adding Xposed for customisability, and disabling stock apps will achieve near AOSP experience.

However, if you receive an OTA and are unable to update (happens if you modify the system partition after rooting - .e.g installing xposed, uninstalling apps), all you need to do is to flash the system.img files from the same firmware (or if available - flash same stock firmware via recovery). This will just refresh the system apps and data. None of your files is modified. Then you can update OTA. Another option is to flash the OTA directly in Philz recovery. I would suggest these methods for incremental OTA's like 4.4.3 to 4.4.4. If the base changes e.g. 4.4.4. to 4.5, I would do full wipe to avoid any problems.

good luck.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maurocds:
come on men, moto g is like nexus, they are almost impossible to be bricked forever

gpe rom is the best, motorola rom is way too bloated and annoying full of motorola apps, yes they are light, and yes i know the moto rom is almost stock, but those apps are annoying like hell

about updates, yes gpe took a long time to be updated to 4.4.3 but instead it was super fast to get 4.4.4 unlike motorola rom

so they are the same in the end

i dont care aboout kernels so in the end GPE for me always, the closest to nexus
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Niño Gordo:
I'm beginning to think that all these things are too difficult for me, this is my first smartphone and i'm feeling overwhelmed. I just wanted to clean it a bit saving 500+ MB of junk and never wipe it again but unlocking and rooting require a constant maintenance and micromanagement from what I understand and probably i'll not be able to keep up the pace.

EDIT: I did it, basically:

Unlocked the Bootloader

Rooted using TWRP

Fixed the Logo

Flashed Qualcomm optimized bionic/dalvik

Installed Faux123 Kernel

and now i'm looking to install some juicy apps,is everything alright? Have I missed something?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:
I was under the impression that the 'Qualcomm optimized bionic/dalvik' wasn't necessary and made no difference on Moto G. To get the most out of that Kernel look in the thread for recommended settings. Faux has an app, FauxClock, but there is a free alternative, Trickster Mod.

The difference between those Kernels is that one is for Nexus 4, and one is for Moto G.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Niño Gordo:
Well then how can i delete those optimizations now? If they aren't necessary it will be better not to have them i think. I tried to read the recommended settings of the Kernel but the G+ group seems to be private.

EDIT: Is there a working stock recovery of Kitkat 4.4.4? The one in the MotoTool doesn't work (hab error)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorwoo:
Let them be, its like when you flash something you already have. Search faux thread, there are links to recommended settings in last pages.

And about the recovery, if you want to use mototool, first connect your phone with adb.
