[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
I am also in the market for a slim case for this phone, but I dont want a case that will cover up my beautiful wood back. I think in the end I will go with the one that you can buy right through Motorola since it looks like just a side case with raised sides that will protect the front and back if dropped.

As for that case you linked, I dont think it is properly compatible. Notice how the case says compatible with all Moto X phones including the new one? How can that be if the two versions are completely different sizes?

I got a bumper. I feel the cases hinder the phone and make it ugly. The bumper is minimalistic to me. I really liked my n4 bumper, so I'm a bumper fan lol

Which bumper did you buy? I just bought the one from the motomaker website.:rolleyes:
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid2drummer:
If you want to truly use a case to protect it you'll find better offering of protection in one that fully wraps the device. If you go for looks you'll be best to just go bare. But mid protection is clear case or bumper. Many brands. But most are made by a few big plants. Or manufacturer's. Then they all put their names on them. Watch reviews for one that suits you. I've personally used different brands of the holster case kickstand combo. Benefits are alway decent protection grip and versatility along with slim form factor. Fosman is on that keeps best price usually 7.99 including shipping. I've bought high end names that offer the exact same thing.

I've been waiting for months for an official samsung kitkat update for my phone. (i9195L). Today I checked on sammobile and saw that the update has arrived, for Trinidad and Tobago.

Now that it has been released, I want to know if I can flash it over my Carbon Rom, which has Android 4.4.4.

I want to know if I can go back to stock and flash this new firmware with kitkat on my device via Odin, or if I will have any problem considering I'm actually downgrading to 4.4.2.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gh0stCode:
Good rule of thumb with OTAs. Don't perform then on a custom rom. I would use Odin to report to stock. Then see if you can get the update via OTA. However keep in mind that the newer update may not have a root method so if that is important to you, check into that. And always back up in recovery! Flashing back to stock should not harm you device.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
U won`t really downgrade :P But take into consideration this :

Do u have Knox bootloader active ? 0x0 or 0x1 in download mode ? Once u flash KitKat u can`t downgrade to samsung jellybean. U can flash aosp again if stock samsung won`t fit u . If u don`t have Knox bootloader i woyld flash an older firmware that does not contain Knox, 2 3 times in a row until u bring your phone to Official not custom and after that flash samsung kitkat. That way u will sure have knox not triggered, all flashed good modem and so and no problems. I think i write too much and u won`t understand a thing ( i`m bad at explaining stuff )
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolo143:
Yes, you write too much, lol. But I get your point. Thanks for the reply.

I have Knox set to 0x1 so I guess it's activated, but I don't have any plan going back to jelly bean. i will stay with kitkat. :)

Besides I think there's already a way to root stock with kitkat via Towel root, so I guess it's a lot of help.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilviuMik:
Towelroot works only on roms made before july i think. Older won`t work
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gh0stCode:
I don't completely agree. Towelroot worked on stock 4.4.2 for me fresh after an Odin restore. I believe it doesnt work on HTC phones and something else. Don't hold me to that I could be wrong. But Towelroot should work great for the OP
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flatric:
I'm currently on DU Rom, if I want to test offical Kitkat I have to flash it with odin? And if I want to go back to DU how can I do it? With a backup?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gh0stCode:
Yes if you stock kit kat without root and such you will need to use odin. Using odin will give you a complete stock. Recovery, kernel, etc. Meaning you won't have a custom recovery to restore a back up. Back up your current setup using your custom recovery and keep the back up on your external storage. If you choose to go back if stock doesn't work for you, you may be able to restore the back up once you re-root and install the custom recovery, but it may cause some errors. I'm not 100% sure that the restore will work or not. My suggestion is to find a stock rom that is only rooted and not modded. Less hassle that way. And much easier to go back to your current rom if you don't want the stock rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolo143:
One question: If I already installed this firmware (kitkat) How can I root it? Towelroot? I don't want to trigger Knox, I want to Root it workout having to enable Knox and put that message with yellow letters..

Edit: I rooted it by installing recovery and flashing the rootkit. So far so good. :)

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] airmaxx23:
Yup, fails here also.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] neopolotin75:
I'd assume you'd need the developer edition since our boots are locked.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
I'd suggest that you add the statement to the OP, that this is only for DE. Incompatible with Retail version/SafeStrap.

Also, for other DE users, I suspect this is only compatible with 4.4 bootloader.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] airmaxx23:
The title says it but I'll add it to the post.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
Thanks. Every time a new recovery for our DE shows up in a mainstream thread, several users try to flash it over Safestrap. You can't be too careful around here.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
Has anyone tested it yet. I haven't had a chance to because I've been busy after sending bigbiff my Dev edition stock recovery.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
You are the only one (that I know of) on this forum with a 4.4 bootloader DE.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
Oh okay I guess it's just me and [MENTION=250655]helix139[/MENTION] LOL. I'll test it soon hopefully.

PS - [MENTION=3209971]cam30era[/MENTION] send your stock recovery to bigbiff if you have it backed up to somewhere. So you can get in on the fun with the split builds.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
When the Note 3 DE was released in November, 2013 the only method available to root was to first flash TWRP, then flash SuperSU.zip. We all did this using the TMO version of TWRP recovery. So no one was on this forum was able to download a copy of the stock recovery. The request has been made many times, and it's (apparently) too late for all of us. But thanks for the suggestion.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
Can't you flash the files I have to update your bootloader? I got them all backed up after I rooted mine. Can you flash my bootloader?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
Nope. Flashing any bootloader on a DE device, except the one it was delivered with, is TABOO. End result will be retail device with an unlockable bootloader. There were several failed attempts early on. Don't, under any circumstances, ever touch the bootloader on your DE.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
Is there a way to port the recovery bigbiff did for me and helix?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
I'm not a dev, but I have never heard of that. Us 4.3 bootloader DE users will have to continue to live with either philz (hltevzw version), or TWRP (TMO version).
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] alexp1289:
At least you're still in the crack flashing game though. Wish there was a way for me to help as I feel a duty to my fellow Dev edition owners :(
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
FYI: bigbiff has opened a new thread in Original Android Development.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] helix139:
Stupid question probably, but even if that bootloader is from another DE device?

And BTW this TWRP flashed fine and seems to be working well on my 4.4 DE Note 3 running Alliance, just to report
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] cam30era:
Not a stupid question at all. Apparently, DE bootloaders are digitally signed, and flashing anything other than the bootloader that the device shipped with will result in a locked (and unlockable) bootloader. Even Samsung can't/won't update our DE bootloaders.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] helix139:
Seems like they've really gone out of their way to screw over the dev community lately, doesn't it?

Hello all. Recently i have rooted my device (samsung galaxy s5 international), so i am using the Android Version 4.4.2 Kitkat. So recently i was using the mobile 3G internet when asked to update with that window showing 0/100 and when was roughly 33/100 i turned it off. When i got home i tried updating agian using the WIFI and i get this error;

"The operting system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading software updates using Samsung Kies on your PC, or visit a customer service center."

Any help how to solve this issue to update to android version 4.4.4 kitkat? I´ve tried with Kies and no luck as well. I am assuming since did not let finish the update when using OTA maybe something got corrupted. Thanks in advance.

It would be good if it was in fact 4.4.4 but I suspect it's still 4.4.2 with a few minor tweaks and security updates.

I've been running 4.4.4 on my tablet for months but not seen it for the S5...... which seems odd for a flagship handset. Not that I'm overly concerned as I saw literally no difference when it went to .4

Download Mobile ODIN, install AirDroid on your phone, then download a firmware you'd like to flash on you pc and when done go to http://web.airdroid.com/ , open airdroid on your phone, connect to pc and transfer the firmware (but first unpack it), then run it via Mobile ODIN just like you would run it on PC, via PDA/AP button.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] tom dunne:
I'm having a problem with my laptop - it can't read the 2Gig mini-SD card I got for Christmas.

Here's what I have tried so far:

mini-SD on my laptop -> will not read it

mini-SD on another laptop -> read it without problem

normal SD on my laptop -> read it without problem

I've updated the drivers for my card-reader, still no joy. I notice the card-reader is picking up the format of the mini-SD card as RAW format.

So I am wondering, if I format the mini-SD card as Fat32 on my laptop, will the Atom be able to read it?

[Moto X Q&A] drvoje:
Hello,

I got my Moto X few days back from America, its Verizon model (I live in Europe)

its not developer edition and bootloader is locked

...and first issue i noticed is when i try to reset to factory with power UP + DOWN volume i couldnt get recovery.. when i go to recovery settings i see moto logo and then verizon picture.. there is no "dead android" and phone boots normaly.

...second thing there was android 4.4 on it and i got notifications to update it, so i was like why not, lets do it... and after i decided to update, phone keeps rebooting itself, and i dont know what to do :( it stays awake like 10-20sec and reboot again. Cant belive i bricked it that way!

Phone seems that its not rooted or anything, but idk maybe it was and then back to stock.. Is there any solution?

Thanks in advance to any1 who can help me slove the problem

Is there any way to try to delete chache or factory reset before flashing to stock rom :confused:
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
If its not the developer edition for Verizon, the bootloader is likely locked, so you can NOT flash custom roms (unless you, or a previous owner, got a bootloader unlock code from the China Middleman and used it)

Did you buy the phone used, or new? If used, then it is possible that it was rooted using RockMyMoto, SlapMyMoto or the like... and the boot loop while trying to install an update could be due to that. If so, erasing cache will stop the boot loop. This can be done from stock recovery, or when in Bootloader/FastbootAP mode.

How to Boot into recovery -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-EnterStockRecovery.htm

If that doesn't work, try bootloader/fastboot....

How to get a working AndroidSDK/PlatformTools/ADB/Mfastboot setup -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/ADB.htm

How to boot the phone into fastboot mode -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-BootloaderMode.htm

from your PC, do a mfastboot erase cache

to reboot the phone, mfastboot reboot

Optionally, you could do a mfastboot erase userdata before rebooting, to remove all data, apps, etc.

If erasing cache fixes the boot loop, you might just want to try using RSDLite and reflashing the STOCK rom, recovery, etc. (Download the Verizon 4.4.4 SBF from -> http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0 then follow -> http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515 ) It would undo anything that was done to root your device, and put you back to factory fresh. The only reason not to, would be if you care about rooting and disabling write protection..

With a locked bootloader, If your phone is still on 4.4 (aka 4.4.0), and still has that older bootloader and gpt.bin, you could use SlapMyMoto to root, and MotoWpNoMo to disable write protection. Just don't take any updates. You could cause a bootloop, but more importantly it will re-enable write protection with no way to disable it again (unless you can unlock the bootloader).

Once your phone is on 4.4.2 or above, you can't properly downgrade the ROM, bootloader and gpt.bin to use the exploits used by SlapMyMoto/MotoWpNoMo. There is a TowelPieRoot which is a temp root that works on 4.4.2. Temp root in the fact that it doesn't survive power off/on, so it needs to be redone each time. Also it doesn't disable write protection, so any changes made to /system or the like are also lost at power off/on (aka hard boot).

Once on 4.4.4, you can't properly downgrade the ROM, bootloader and gpt.bin, and there are no exploits to root, and no way to disable write protection.

If you can use the China Middleman thread to get a bootloader unlock code, then you don't need to worry about the exploits, and you can then root and disable write protection just as if you had a developer edition. Also JCASE may be updating their Sunshine tool to use the exploit found by Dan Rosenberg to unlock the bootloader on the Moto X, but there is no exact date yet of when it will be available (so far "next few weeks" has been said, but nothing more specific), and there is discussion around will it work for those who took the 4.4.4 update or not (no confirmation yet either way).
[Moto X Q&A] drvoje:
did this with mfastboot image and worked like charm :)

bdw now i will need some time reading what is best to do with my unlockable bootloader verizon phone, if u have any sugestions please let me know.

and tnx for the help again mate :)
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
You said its a verizon phone, but not the developer edition..

So at this point, the only way to unlock the bootloader is the China Middleman thread (in the general section). When JCASE updates Sunshine for the X (in the coming week or two), you can try that.

Otherwise, there isn't anything you can do.
[Moto X Q&A] drvoje:
and for stock android update? which one is the best for moto x? now it is 4.4.0

shall i rsd lite it to 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 or just stay current one?

bdw i need to rsd lite frimware anyway if i plan to use OTA update again perhaps when android L come? For now i just keep ignoring them

and yes its NOT developer edition phone :(
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
THe best depends on what you want to do.

Like I said before. IF you have 4.4 (aka 4.4.0) on the phone, and NEVER had anything newer on there (not 4.4.2 or 4.4.4), then stay there, look at SlapMyMoto and MotoWpNoMo to root and disable write protection.

Once you get 4.4.2 on there, you can root, but its temp root, and write protection can NOT be disabled.

4.4.4 you can't root.

Other than that, I can't say I really find too much difference. The camera is better in 4.4.4, but the battery isn't performing as well lately (could be a recent app update).
[Moto X Q&A] drvoje:
can i do this on my phone now - without fear of bricking it:

from my pc to run mfastboot again

then to clear chache

then to delete all user data

then to use rsd lite and flash Android 4.4

Blur_Version.140.45.5.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US even i alrdy have 4.4 now?

..because i dont know what is done to my phone before and i want to make sure its like "new" device

i know i can not downgrade, but can i flash same frimware? just to make sure thats all stock again

bdw Im stll unable to enter recovery after fastboot :/ is it that because of locked bootloeader? or because it was rooted with any method? i cant find superuser

and then to wait for solution to unlock bootleader?

Thanks in advance
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
You can always re-flash the same rom that is on your phone.

You just never want to down grade, or flash something older than what is on your phone.

As for not being able to enter Stock Recovery... early versions of the RockMyMoto and such did a trick which made it so that when you picked boot to recovery, it booted to regular system with write protection disabled. If that was used on your phone before you purchased it, that could be the issue. Using RSDLite and flashing back to 100% stock will undo that.

But You never answered if you got the phone new or used.

IF new, then you have some other issue (either you're not doing it right, or there is something wrong with the phone).

If used, you don't know what was done before you received it. Someone might have rooted, etc.. then just removed SuperSU to appear non-rooted when selling, rather than flashing back to stock.
[Moto X Q&A] drvoje:
thanks for the reply...

yes phone is used before but same like new... and what i found that phone was rooted by some method.. i made this screenshots, look in attachment..

bdw i dont see super su anywhere in apps? how to remove?

and i got everything rdy to flash it, i was just waiting you to conform if its doable...

and what did u mean by this:

"With a locked bootloader, If your phone is still on 4.4 (aka 4.4.0), and still has that older bootloader and gpt.bin, you could use SlapMyMoto to root, and MotoWpNoMo to disable write protection. Just don't take any updates. You could cause a bootloop, but more importantly it will re-enable write protection with no way to disable it again (unless you can unlock the bootloader)."

is that what happened to me?

and have question about one more thing

my country does not support lte and in my region 3g is bad... i have stable signal all the time but i would like to use edge only (GSM), can i do that using some widgets and if can which ones?
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
If you mean you don't see a SuperSU icon in the app drawer, then they probably un-installed SuperSU before selling it rather than completely unrooting. If you mean you have an icon in the app drawer, but don't see it to uninstall under Settings -> Apps.. I don't know why that would be.

Yes, that could be what happened to you. There are many reports of locked bootloader users who used those older root processes who then upgraded using the OTA from 4.4 to 4.4.2 that encountered bootloops and other issues. It was often recomended to reflash to 100% stock.

And what I meant is that if you are on 4.4 (aka 4.4.0) with all its parts, it is vulnerable and the older exploits can still be used to root and disable write protection without unlocking your bootloader. Search for SlapMyMoto for more details. Some people tried to be cute and mix/match parts which caused issues. Mostly the issues around downgrading are caused by GPT.BIN and Motoboot.IMG parts, their versions, if they've been upgraded and no longer match the rest of the rom on the phone, etc. (and that is a LONG story...)

You can TRY using something like LTE On/Off to open the hidden menu and set for GSM Auto (PRL) or LTE GSM Auto(PRL). I'm not sure which would work best.

Oh, and as for unlocking the bootloader, I've mentioned the China Middleman and JCASE's Sunshine so there are the links to read up if you want to do it.

The China Middleman is just like if you got the code directly from Moto. I don't know what the Jcase tool is like yet.
