[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyge:
Hey,

I've been trying to unlock the bootloader and root my Xperia Z2, but the command prompt cannot find my phone when I have put it in fastboot mode. I also double checked the USB debugging mode. Weirder is, Sony PC Companion cannot find it either. Can anyone help me out with this? thx:D
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
try going to developer.sonymobile.com and looking there for the drivers
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyge:
Yeah I already did that, but I can't install them for some reason. Might be doing it wrong. Can you explain me how to install it properly?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Envious_Data:
if your on windows 8 then you will have to search around as i cant help you

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sodaboy581:
When I was following the guide for installing Cyanogenmod on the Z2, located here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_sirius

I discovered the guide was wrong. You don't hold volume down to enter Fastboot, you hold volume up.

Someone should probably correct that guide...

There's probably other guides on the 'net that say to hold volume down to enter Fastboot for the Z2, so if you've been following one of those, try volume up instead.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyge:
Win7 yes. On the Sony dev site you don't get a .exe file. You only get a zipped file containing some .dll stuff.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyge:
Yeah I figured that one out:p. Problem is, I connect my phone in fastboot to my pc, but it wont recognize it as fastboot. Probably something wrong with my drivers.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sodaboy581:
Just go download the Flashtool driver pack, pick and install the appropriate ones for the Z2. That's what I did. (Comes with Flash and Fastboot drivers.)

Tried that too. Still stuck in the command prompt when i type: fastboot devices. same thing when i type: adb devices. :confused:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devzz:
Are you sure you are in the right directory? I know chances are you are obviously but it could be something as small as that which could make a difference. Alternatively, make sure you actually have up to date ADB/fastboot files! I had old ones and they wouldn't work. I have attached platform tools to this message. Extract the .zip to your desktop, open the folder and then hold shift + right click and click on "open a command window here". Make sure you have the "fastboot drivers" installed from the flashtool page (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2635830).

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russ18uk:
Boot up normally. Make sure you have enabled debugging. If you haven't, follow the guide here.

After that download ADB:

USB drivers required;

ADB interface.

Install the drivers and ADB. You can find ADB in your Start Menu or you can open CMD and cd to c:\adb

When you connect your phone to the computer in your CMD window type adb shell. You may get a security prompt on your phone to allow or deny. Tap on allow or similar.

Retype adb shell if needed and you should see:

If good type "settings get secure android_id".

Ask if you get stuck anywhere.

[Moto X Q&A] XTheMike:
Hello. I ordered Moto X and I want to know if I will be able to perform OTA update from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 and not to 4.4.4, because I want to root my phone. Thank you
[Moto X Q&A] @SidDev:
you will get direct 4.4.4 and you can still root.

thank me if I helped you.
[Moto X Q&A] XTheMike:
Can you please send me link to the tutorial?
[Moto X Q&A] @SidDev:
if you phone is not carrier based follow this

1. Unlock your bootloader.

2. If your phone is turned on, power it off. After it is

powered completely off, hold Volume Down and Power

for about 5-10 seconds. Release them, and you

should see the bootloader screen. It says "AP Fastboot

Flash Mode (S)" at the top.

3. Plug your phone into your computer. If Windows

installs any more drivers, just let it finish.

4. Download the TWRP recovery from the link found

here.

5. Put the img file in the folder with your

fastboot.exe file.

6. Open a command window and type this, then hit

Enter:

fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img

7. On your phone, use Volume Down to scroll down

to Recovery, and hit Volume Up to select it. The phone

will reboot into Recovery. You should see

something that looks like this (the version number at

the top will be different).

8. Hit Reboot, and then System. The phone will

reboot back into Android.

9. Download SuperSU to your phone.

10. Reboot to Recovery by following step 2, then step

7.

11. Hit Install, then find the SuperSU zip you

downloaded, and select it. Confirm the install, and wait

for it to finish. Reboot to system.

12. You should now have root. You can check this

with a root check app or something that requires root.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
This tutorial does not apply to those on Verizon, AT&T, or Republic Wireless who's carriers forbid motorola from releasing the bootloader unlock code for these models...might ask the OP which model he/she has before posting instructions like this.

If the OP is using one of these carrier-branded devices, any update past 4.4.2 will result in being unable to root.
[Moto X Q&A] XTheMike:
Can I ask you one more thing? Can the bootloader of model xt1058 be unlocked? I ordered it from China (Aliexpress.com - it was for 235$ new, which is more than half of the prize that I would pay where I live) and I don't have the phone yet and it say that it is xt1058 unlocked SIM. I'm familiar with this procedure of rooting, I just didn't know that the bootloader is unlockable in other than developer edition (for free and I don't want to send it to the Chinese Middleman)... Thank you for your help.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
As long as it is not an AT&T XT1058, it should be unlockable. Try the motorola unlock website. Almost all phones are able to be unlocked except for the ones that I listed in my previous post.

If you have any issues, let us know what the firmware version of your phone is (From Settings > About Phone ). You may have to use a specific regional Moto Unlock site.
[Moto X Q&A] RizenKnight:
If you are still on 4.2.2 aren't you able to unlock the bootloader?
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
No. You seem to be confusing "write protection disable" with actually unlocking the BL. HUGE difference. I suggest much more reading...
[Moto X Q&A] @SidDev:
read my post I said him follow this if your model is not Carrier based.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
I did see that...but it is still inaccurate. All carrier based models EXCEPT those that I listed can be unlocked. Sprint, USC, all the European carrier-based variants, all the Brazil carrier-based devices, etc. They can all be unlocked except for AT&T, Verizon, and Republic Wireless. Your post makes it seem as if you must own the Retail devices to unlock - this is not the case.

Also, you suggest a very outdated version of TWRP (not even put out by the official TWRP team) that has been reported to cause issues on some devices. We should all be using the latest version found here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ghost (2.7.1.1)

Additionally, you have included unnecessary steps. All TWRP versions will root for you - you do not have to download SuperSU and flash from recovery. Simply booting into recovery and clicking exit will cause TWRP to offer to install SuperSu Installer for you with no downloading necessary...

While we all appreciate that you are trying to help, your instructions have quite a few inaccuracies and unnecessary steps.
[Moto X Q&A] @SidDev:
yes I know what you are trying to say

but I tried to simplify it so I wrote in such a way.

Anyways thanks. I will be cautious next time :)
[Moto X Q&A] yekollu:
So you mean to say i can root my phone even after the update to 4.4.4? I own a XT 1052 variant (from Germany)
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
If you unlock the bootloader....YES! That's exactly what I said....
[Moto X Q&A] yekollu:
Here as in where? Can you send the link please
[Moto X Q&A] @SidDev:

press thanks if I helped you. :)
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
[MENTION=5180127]yekollu[/MENTION]

That is an older, unofficial link. While it works for 4.4.0, for 4.4.2 and up it is better to use the latest official version -> http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/ghost

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:00 AM ----------

Sorry, old post that I'm replying to... but I want to clarify something.

For the Motorola X, the OTA's are incremental updates. You must be on a specific previous ROM, and "step up." To put it another way... to take the 4.4.4 OTA your phone needs to be on 4.4.2. To take the 4.4.2 OTA, your phone needs to be on 4.4. To take the 4.4 OTA, your phone needs to be on the 4.2.2 w/camera fix version. To take the 4.2.2 w/camera fix OTA, your phone needs to be on the initial shipping ROM version.

Usually you can take the updates one a time, and stop at the version you want. HOWEVER, we have seen cases where OTA's can no longer be deferred and you will be prompted but have no choice but to "install now."

For people who uses Flexmail...

I have tested this with Cingular and they are seeing a problem as well. They are still trying to figure it out but here is the situation.

Whenever I use flexmail for SMS messages...

Cingular to Cingular the text goes through.

Other carriers are able to send to me as well.

When I try to send a txt using Flexmail, it doesn't go anywhere. Cingular has confirmed that it's going through their server, but not being received by the other carriers. However, txt's that are sent using Flexmail to my own provider (Cingular), the text goes through without any problems.

If I don't use FLEXMAIL and use the built in SMS, it works fine despite which carrier it goes through.

Any one have any ideas what is going on?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] TheNinthPlayer:
I would check with the people at Flexmail, http://www.webis.net. They have a support forum and if you want to go the extra step you can download their latest beta from their forum thread : http://www.pocketinformant.com/Forums/index.php?showtopic=10113
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nutnbolt:
I have tried already. I haven't gotten a response and I figured I'd post here as well for those who uses flexmail. I know many people use that product and was wondering (for the users) if they encounter any problems with SMS using flexmail.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sickchilly:
I use it on Cingular but admit that I haven't sent SMS to any non-Cingular people yet.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nutnbolt:
Sickchilly:

Do me a favor and give it a try yourself. Use Flexmail's SMS. Try sending to other carriers (Verizon, Tmobile, Sprint, etc.). Any of those and see if it goes through.

If it does then there must be some setting on my end. I know Cingular wanted me to test my Sim and my phone by switching it out and sending a message from another Cingular phone. It works so it's not the sim/phone. I'm pretty sure it's flexmail but then again, it could be some setting within my phone.

Let me know...

Anyone else please see if this occurs.

Good afternoon.

I don't know what exactly I did, but this is very strange.

Yesterday, my smartphone was turned on at 6:00 a.m., and when I arrived home again at 5:00 p.m. it still had 28% battery. I remembered something what a friend talked me about what was GravityBox. After install Xposed + GravityBox, I just edited (for call it somehow) the position of the time on the status bar, added my name instead of the operator name (in this case DIGITEL GSM) and the orientation of the volume keys when rotating screen. That's all, nothing else changed.

7:00 p.m.: Battery dead. That was strange, because the battery normally lasts until 10-11 p.m., but I didn't worry of this.

Today, I did as always: Listen music, send a coulpe of SMS... nothing out of normal (I use the smartphone the same way, the same order all the days Monday to Fridays).

11:00 a.m.: I needed to ask for a charger. Battery: 1%

What really happened? I didn't do anything out of normal, and the battery survived 4 hours... I really don't found sense to it.

You, and anyone else, are more than welcome to create another thread and post whatever you want as far as Octo-Kat goes. The source is public for this reason.

However...

You will need to take it outside of Original Android Development, and we ask that it CLEARLY distinguishes itself as an Unofficial build. Only because we don't want to field questions or complaints about things we have nothing to do with.
