[Windows Phone 8 General] TheIronMaiden:
According to him, the only users who are still affected by BitLocker bug are those who updated via a “non-public” method that Microsoft used for small groups and internal testing.

If you are one of those, you will probably have to update your smartphone to the current version of Windows Phone via a public mechanism and then try installing Lumia Cyan on the device.

We don’t believe that there will be another fix for this particular issue affecting a small number of Windows Phone users, but anything is possible. We will keep an eye out for additional details on the matter, so stay tuned.

On bitlocker issue: some people are reporting that the latest DP release still has bitlocker issue with Cyan. We think that's incorrect... — joebelfiore (@joebelfiore) August 27, 2014

..we think the only cases of this, still, are folks who updated via a NON-PUBLIC mechanism that we used for small-group & internal testing. — joebelfiore (@joebelfiore) August 27, 2014

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emlo16:
I can't update my N7100 from previous Omnirom to latest CM11. I wiped my phone, installing latest CM11 zip and phone is stuck at N7100 logo and restart to recovery. When I install Omni zip everything is working fine. I'm tried TWRP and Philz recovery but no results. Please help :mad:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atmos929:
did you wipe /system, /cache, /data and dalvik? (full wipe).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emlo16:
Yes of course but I think CM isn't extracting to /system because when I leave recovery it shows there's no root and asks if I want to install it.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atmos929:
Recoveries tend to do that... they do not detect superuser from any CM based ROM and offer you to install supersu after a ROM install and rebooting system.

I you do full wipes and you have tested latest Philz and TWRP recoveries... I can only suggest you to double check that the CM11 ROM is the correct one for your N7100.

It is strange that you encounter issues with CM based ROMs... these usually install without problems... I've encountered problems booting TW based ROMs, but not these. Sorry I can't be or more help. Good luck :).

EDIT:: wait a second... according to your screenshot, you did a full wipe after installing the CM ROM... you are deleting your ROM that you just installed :). The steps are:

1.- full wipe

2.- install ROM

3.- Install GAPPS

4.- wipe Dalvik <-- (some devs recommend this step, others don't... doesn't hurt to do it anyway)

Hi,

My phone is an SM-G900F running G900FXXU1ANE2 firmware.

Phone was rooted successfully using Towelroot. I installed SuperSU and disabled Knox.

I want to update the phone's firmware to the latest OTA. Is it possible to keep the root after I update?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Well:

- if you flash the entire updated rom with Mobile Odin Pro you should be able to keep root if you enable everroot and the other 2 options

- If you update by OTA and you have superSU Pro installed and enabled root survival you should keep root too.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SixtyForty:
Did anyone have any luck with keeping root using superSU Pro?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Sure, but there`s no 100% guarantee. But most of the times it succeeds.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SixtyForty:
Unfortunately, I got a "Firmware modified in an unauthorised way" error message when trying to update OTA. Do I have to flash using Odin?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
If superSU is installed as a system app the OTA will not install. If you flash the updated rom with Mobile Odin Pro en enable Everroot and the other 2 options you should be able to update and keep root. Look in Play for MOP. Or you might try to flash the OTA with MOP, usualy the OTA is in the cache folder.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SixtyForty:
I don't think SuperSU is installed as a system app. If I go to app settings, it allows me to install it as a system app though.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
The system OTA update will also fail if root access is detected.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SixtyForty:

Hey People.

I am wondering if anyone could take a second look at my problem. I have had a lot of help from the forum from HTCNerdYoda and i feel guilty for taking up so much of his time and expertise.

Basically I guess my iniitlal unroot attempt went wrong in some part. Now although Rootchecker states i am not rooted. I have files lingering connected to SuperSu....I have been advised the files i need to flash to the phone through boot loader, but i don't seem to be able to connect from my mac using./adb devices it says List of devices attached FA46MWM12742 Offline....i have tried powering down, rebooting, turning off the mac reconnecting....although the phone is on and connected still saying Offline and been trying for hours now.

Can I ask for a fresh set of eyes to cast a look and see if anyone can offer something i am not doing or missing.

Hello there! I posted this on the WPCentral forum as well, but I though I'd make a post here as well, I hope that's ok.

-=-INTRO-=-

I recently started trying to learn how to make windows phone apps. I've come to windows phone from android (back when ICS was the newest thing), and to my surprise Windows Phone did not have any way to save your own contact information in the 'me hub'. This was a bit annoying, as I did not fancy having to add myself as a contact and scroll through all my contacts whenever I wanted to share my number with someone. I finally decided to learn how to develop, and so, I've made this:...

-=-WHAT IS IT-=-

An alternative to the normal (and now-not-as-useful-as-it-once-was) Me tile. It allows you to share your contact info by tapping on it.

Install it using the XAP Deployment Tool. No interop required. Just normal Dev-unlock.

-=-NOTES-=-

My screenshot features a different header photo for the alternative view ( I didn't include it because I don't 'own' the picture. You can replace it by opening the XAP as an archive and editing the img.jpg image file.

Feedback is welcome!

...although I am very busy at the moment, and I am unsure when/if I will continue to update this app. (One idea was to add a 'post an update' feature that would open MultiShare, but I haven't yet done anything...

The small tile has a black background and a white, round design (not really a tile, more of a button/icon)

-=-THANKS TO-=-

The Nokia Development website: Their samples helped me understand a lot.

Microsoft: WP (obviously) and their msdn C# and Windows Phone documentation

[Moto X Q&A] knitler:
I see it mentioned a few times but what on the phone prevents say 4.4.2 from being installed after the upgrade to 4.4.3?
[Moto X Q&A] AGISCI:
Because the partion table and bootloader are different and can't be downgraded at all.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Or, you can downgrade... But brick your device after, even later.

Anyone who knows anything about the moto x will tell you just don't. ?

I find that odd. I wonder what the purpose is for doing that.

There is no way to just re-write those sections? Even on a Dev Edition?
[Moto X Q&A] aviwdoowks:
Security!

Look at the whole Windows/AntiVirus industry.

All because Microsoft wanted unsecure compatibility with the old OS.

[Moto X Q&A] Darth:

The Dev edition is the same as any other.... It just keeps is warranty if you unlock it.
[Moto X Q&A] scryan:
I'm kind of not buying this for a second?

How about linux, which is often pointed to for its security... And you can upgrade, down grade, switch out every component for newer/older/different, switch kernels, upgrade kernels, downgrade kernels... hell change out kernels with out even rebooting.

Really not buying it has anything with security.

I think we understand that, I mean if the OP didn't he wouldn't have the question of "why not?". Its not I think it might be a good idea... We are just trying to understand the situation because it seems unique, and so we were hoping someone who knows a lot about

This is the most I have heard so far, and I have heard it once or twice... But can't the recovery image include information on the partition table?

I realize the way it is, but was curious on some more technical information explaining it...
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
It is security. Specifically the SECURED BOOTLOADER. Don't confuse secured with locked. Yes, you can unlock your bootloader, but it is still secured.

Read up on "TrustZone" and see why it is important, and why the OEMs would not want you to be able to downgrade. You can "buy" or "not buy" whatever you want....

I really don't get the linux reference. We are talking about a bootloader, not linux in general. That's beyond the fact that any smart linux user would almost never have any reason at all to downgrade. Think about the heartbleed vuln that was discovered recently. Why on god's green earth would you want to downgrade openssl back to a version that is vulnerable??

The early (4.2.2 & 4.4) bootloader (motoboot.img) was vulnerable to an exploit that allowed us to disable write protection. The updated bootloader (4.4.2+) is patched. You *CAN NOT* downgrade back to the vulnerable version.

^Does that not have *everything* to do with security??
[Moto X Q&A] AGISCI:
Because even though the patition file and bootloader are included in the archive, they fail to flash because they have a lower version than what is installed.
[Moto X Q&A] knitler:
Can't just fake the version number?
[Moto X Q&A] AGISCI:
No, it's not possible.
[Moto X Q&A] scryan:
The linux reference was in direct reply to the quote above it that was making the argument that the PC anti-virus industry as well as the proliferation of malware and viruses is an example of the insecurity that is a result of a computers administrator having the technical ability to downgrade his OS software.

I mention linux because he was using PC OS's as an example, and Linux allows you not only to downgrade... but rewrite the bootloader. Or use a different bootloader. You bootloader can boot securely with UEFI, or you can just use BIOS. All this insecurity, but virtually no viruses, and very few security issues.

Why would you want to downgrade openssl? I wouldn't. I probably wouldn't flash back to an earlier version of android either... I keep my system pretty damn up to date. The point is more that his assertion that MS and Windows proves that being able to downgrade creates inherent security issues doesn't really hold up when you look at other systems that provide even more freedom.

I know, and that is why I want to understand what it is I would be buying.

I guess this is the part that we are not understanding. Perhaps because I don't understand enough and have not looked through decompressed recovery images enough... but basically the issue is that Motorola is bricking the device, rather then letting it be downgraded to an potentially insecure image. I am guessing then this is a soft brick?

Does recovery not have the ability to re-write the partition table though? Is there no partition table information in this recovery image? I get that the stock recovery would not allow it, but wouldn't a developer edition user be able to flash a custom recovery that wouldn't have issues flashing the partition table. Don't TWRP or CWM, ect do this?

I guess then that is where the trust zone comes in...
[Moto X Q&A] AGISCI:
The custom recoveries don't flash gpt.bin nor motoboot.img so using a custom recovery it's impossible to correctly flash a Moto X. You MUST use stock recovery with a Moto X. The problem isn't that it causes a brick by flashing an old version. The problem is that a brick happens the next time you do an OTA update. When the OTA update occurs there is a mismatched partion table and bootloader, so it ends up causing a brick.

The developer edition and the standard moto x are 100% identical. They only difference is that you don't void the warranty when you unlock the bootloader on the dev edition, however with the non dev edition your warranty is voided. So the same problem with the partition table and the bootloader ALSO apply to the developer edition as well.
[Moto X Q&A] samwathegreat:
Well said :good:
[Moto X Q&A] aviwdoowks:
Still the answer is security.

So upgrade as Moto intended & do not downgrade!

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------

Our recovery devs never restore such partitions or boot loader elements.
[Moto X Q&A] iKrYpToNiTe:
Smh I normally don't chime into these threads but I had to, you can't downgrade the bootloader because of security/compatibility plan and simple. It's the same concept as why you can't downgrade most PC's bios, if there is a flaw found in the system as a whole, then they don't want you to downgrade to that version. A lot of the times when people brick their device trying to downgrade is because it will flash, but because an efuse was blown when it was upgraded the downgraded version will not boot. Yes the recovery can technically rewrite those partitions but again because the efuse was blown it will not boot. Also yes being able to downgrade on any system Windows, Linux, Unix, IOS, Xbox, PS, etc are causes to security issues. If you can downgrade a system to a vulnerable version, it is then by definition less secure, no matter how you try to spin it. Take the futex vulnerability which affected most linux kernels from the past 5 years, so why would any desktop linux user ever want to downgrade to a vulnerable kernel? They wouldn't but if the end user isn't knowledgeable of the vulnerability they wouldn't know that downgrading makes them vulnerable. So since phones are used by so many people who are not knowledgeable of vulnerabilities, why would you want to give them the opportunity to downgrade themselves to a vulnerable OS?
