I tweaked the updater script on mine to eliminate the stock recovery stuff before flashing with TWRP, and it seemed to work :

http://rhysw.com/peregrine/xt1045-4.4.4.norecovery.zip

Usual disclaimers apply; back up your device first ! Diff the changed updater script vs. the stock one. Do not use if you don't know what an updater script is.
[Moto G 4G Android Development] NWKENT:
Gentlemen..Not sure why all the reverting to stock recovery is needed, if your device is on TWRP..please help me to understand.?

Here's what I done with one of my XT1045's in a matter of few minutes..keeping my other XT1045 on 4.4.3 for awhile longer..

Running TWRP v2.7.1.0_peregrine (shabby penguin) version..

With this zip copied to the storage in the device, installed from TWRP, rebooted and never lost Root..simple, quick, painless..

Absolutely did NOTHING (except update framework) to XPosed, Gravity Box [KK 3.1.7], Advanced Power Menu [6.0a_r1], AcDisplay [2.4.7], Android L Navigation Bar [6.1], GPSNotifications [2.9]..

ONLY thing I had to do was update Framework..kept Root with no problems either..

This is 4.4.4_21.11.56 in flashable, installable zip format..

Update fails

I have both the stock rom and stock recovery installed but I cannot get the OTA update to complete without an error and if I try to manually run the update from the stock recovery I also get the same error. The error is...

Verifying current system...

"/system/app/Drive.apk" has unexpected contents.

Installation aborted

I have gone as far as removing the drive.apk from my device altogether but it still gives me the same error. I have tried installing a fresh copy of the drive.apk but the same error occurs. I am at the end of my ideas. Anyone else run into this or have any suggestions?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] charesa39:
If you remove any system apps, the OTA will fail everytime. When you installed the apk, did you set it as a system app? Did you change the permissions back to how they should be?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] USCanthony:
Ahhh...thank you....this is beginning to make a little more sense but also brings up another question. According to Titanium backup, the original Drive.apk was a system file but updates to that apk now reside in [root]/data/app/. I never installed drive.apk form the Play Store and then made it a system file so I have to assume that the original drive.apk that is sitting with all the other system files is part of the stock rom. There is a possibility that it could be a different version than what cam with the stock rom though since I did perform a merge of updated apk's from that location into the [root]/system/app/ folder several months ago but I have no idea if the drive.apk was one of those that I merged because I do not remember what apk's were merged. Does the OTA look for what it has been told is the version that existed in the "system/app" folder of the ROM it is updating and if it finds any other version it will fail (which means that merging any apk's is an OTA killer)? I had also deleted several Motorola apk's from the stock rom that are bloated system files such as "Alert" and "Assist" but I have Titanium backup's of those files so restoring them is not a problem. Is it possible that the drive.apk error is an erroneous error because drive.apk was simply the last file it checked before the script bailed because of those missing files?
[Moto G 4G Android Development] charesa39:
I don't think it checks the version of the app. I think it just checks whether the apk is there, and if the permissions are correct. This is why I never actually delete system apps. I'll just disable them in the stock settings app, or freeze them with TiBu. I assume that all the apps that came loaded on the phone (including the Motorola ones you mentioned) need to be present in order for it to update, or at least the apps that don't give you the option to uninstall them in the stock settings app, meaning they can only be disabled.

I purchased a Sprint Galaxy S3 off of eBay and I found out that the phone was still active.

I wanted to use the phone with Ting but I can’t because the previous owner did not deactivate this phone. I tried porting the phone number to Ting but I can’t because I need his account number and password from Sprint. I can’t get a new number because the device is currently active. I have tried contacting Sprint several times to get them to deactivate the phone and they refused every single time.

I have tried contacting the previous owner (his email address is in the phone) but my emails always return errors. So, his email address is currently in active. I really like this phone and I don’t want to give it up. I got this phone on August 6 and I was waiting for Sprint to deactivate it on the 25th (this information is in the phone) but instead of deactivating the phone, it is now showing current service from August 26 through September 25….

Why didn’t they deactivate this phone? Surely he isn’t still paying for it… He doesn’t even have the phone. Is there anyway to deactivate this phone? Is there anyway to force deactivation?

i'm trying to load a custom ROM on my transformer but i can not get my computer to recognize my tablet in fastboot

i have already unlocked the device. i can get the bootloader menu on the tablet but when it's connected to my computer and i go into cmd i will type fastboot devices and it doesn't see anything it just goes straight to the next prompt.

i'd tried reloading the drivers and this has not worked either.

Ive just got the basic web & walk package and going to use it as a usb modem for my laptop, I spoke to t-mobile CS and they advised if i were to download files such as mp3 I would be charged per kb

does anyone use there verio ii as a modem and also downloads files from a p2p network such as limwire/emule or ftp, will i be charged for this?

Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
I would advise against using P2P over your WnW connection, mostly because they probably have filters set up to spot just this kind of usage (regardless of what portranges you use) and if you used BitTorrent or similar, your connection would be RUBBISH (as you'd be constantly running through a proxy).

I've downloaded stuff and used my WnW connection with its wireless modem though, and as it just uses the phone's data connection I doubt that your usage would be flagged if it was just regular web page surfing... How could they prove that you were using it through a computer then?

Using P2P through the wireless modem connection is just asking for trouble, it's (imo) abuse of already limited network infrastructure and it reduces the quality of service for all users, that's why if you want to be able to do that (officially, and within the terms of service) you have to pay more for the privilege.

Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear ;)

This is my first time posting in this, so please excuse me if I put this topic in the wrong place or anything.

Recently I have installed a Cyanogen rom to my phone, upgrading it to 4.4.4 kitkat. Wel, everything went well. Though, recently it has been getting really hot. I mean, before I installed the rom, I was on 4.2.2 and I never had a problem like this. I mainly use my phone for games and my phone has never gotten hot to where the screen is really hot.

I bought a new battery, didn't work. Calibrated it, didn't work. Tried a fresh install, again did not work.

I tried going back to 4.2.2 but no rom that I find works, only one to work is 4.4.2 and it still over heats.

Any advice?

[Moto X Q&A] cnelson3225:
The problem: Overnight my Moto X (xt1056) went dark. Was 80%+ charged, woke up and dead as a door nail.

The day before I took 4.4.4 OTA, flashed TWRP, rooted, backed up the ROM. All turned out fine.

Now when it boots it gets about 80% of the way through the boot animation and then it goes black and nothing ever happens. So I went into recovery and attempted to flash my backup but it fails. NO!!! It says cannot mount \system. Now I cannot wipe anything and I can't mount anything and I cant flash any ROMs.

I have tried flashing back to stock using some unbricking articles, but they all result the same way.

I think I need to reflash the gpt.bin for 4.4.4, but I can't find one. I am open to any ideas, and let me know if you need any other info.

Not sure what you mean by RSD XML...
[Moto X Q&A] aviwdoowks:
Did the OTA "take" bringing it to 444? So if you try 442 that would be a downgrade? Right. Try Rsd lite with 444 unmodified. Edit,

But you may have a brick due to the 442 flash.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
You can't downgrade!!!! Never attempt to flash a previous version. Best/easiest way to BRICK your device!

He means using RSD Lite. But use the 4.4.4 SBF. Use this one: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=0&file=940

Yep, there IS NO Sprint XT1060.

All XT1060s are VERIZON. Big deal, and big difference. Your first post said you have an XT1060...........

You are in a tough situation if you are using a Sprint Device. The ONLY 4.4.4 SBF that has been released is for Verizon. You may have a brick for possibly weeks until the Sprint 4.4.4 SBF is released....
[Moto X Q&A] aviwdoowks:
I don't think there is a 444 xt1056 XML ? There is a thread in the dev sec.

Edit but there is no firmware link- XML/Rsd file so you are stuck til a release is out.

I apologize, it is xt1056 Sprint
[Moto X Q&A] aviwdoowks:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46834711&postcount=1

There is no solution here. You must wait for the official XML.

Let others note : do not downgrade. Which is what happened here. The borked OTA was just bad luck or an example of how things can go wrong. But the op would be stranded anyway with no XML to fix it yet. But He will not know til the XML comes.
[Moto X Q&A] cnelson3225:
But there is a 4.4.4 ROM there, is that not what I want? I apologize for being such a noob but I don't know what the difference between a XML and SBF are? Well I know what an XML is... Just not in relation to my issue.
[Moto X Q&A] aviwdoowks:
Notice how 444 has no firmware button while the others do. Rsd can only flash firmware. Roms are flashed by custom recovery & they only touch boot, system, data & recovery. Rsd does much more. You have borked partitions that, hopefully, only firmware & RSD (or fastboot) can fix.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
The "XML" is a file inside the SBF that instructs RSD Lite which operations to perform. For all practical purposes, they mean the same thing....

There is ONLY a 4.4.4 SBF for Verizon. You do not want to flash this to your sprint phone - most likely it will get no service.

I'm sorry that your phone is in a non-functional state, but it definitely sounds like you had modified something that caused the OTA update to go wrong. Unless you want to risk permanently bricking your phone, you will do this:

Put it in a drawer somewhere. Re-activate an old device to use in the meantime. Wait until the official 4.4.4 SBF is leaked for the Sprint XT1056 (could be tomorrow, could be next month - no one knows). When it is leaked and appears on the droid-developers site, you can ATTEMPT to flash it, and hopefully you will recover.

Bummer. Bad situation to be in....
[Moto X Q&A] cnelson3225:
Oh I get it now! So now I need to hope someone releases the firmware and hope that when I flash it it fixes the problem. Right? lol
[Moto X Q&A] aviwdoowks:
Of course the OTA (Blur.update.zip) needs an intact partition/phone structure to add on to so it is of no value now.
[Moto X Q&A] cnelson3225:
So if I flash VZW it will work but I won't have service? That would be great because I don't have service now! I was already waiting for Ting to whitelist the Moto X. So if I run that now, I can check back when (if) Ting opens up and perhaps the Sprint one is out. Right?
[Moto X Q&A] aviwdoowks:
You risk loosing your imei or worst. If you find someone who has done it? Flashed Vzw to a sprint phone, testimony....
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
It isn't without risk....but another member says that he did it successfully. A member in my SIM-UNLOCK thread has flashed the VZW firmware to his Sprint Moto X. He did not lose the IMEI, and since he used my sim-unlock method, the phone works on any GSM carrier.

But DO NOT take this as me saying that you SHOULD do this, or that it is safe. I'm warning you that it COULD make your condition worse or could cause irreversible damage. I have NOT done this myself, and I would never recommend it.

It *Might* work for you, but *ONLY* if you have unlocked the bootloader, and its still quite risky. If you do it, you are doing it completely at your own risk - I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong.
[Moto X Q&A] cnelson3225:
I understand. I already F'd up once by taking a risk, I think I learned my lesson. I will wait a bit for the Sprint firmware and if that pans out then I can rethink it.

So the Sprint ROMs page you linked me is the place to watch if it comes?
