Hi,

From CWM 6.0.5.3 I mounted /system and installed hells fusion #50, but the phone still boots into CWM 6.0.5.3.

I tried also installing the stock kernel from the aroma installer, but still ended up in CWM 6.0.5.3.

Regards,

Paul :(
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
Maybe its a build.prop issue with the zip and not flashing it

Try flashing a stock kernel via odin like the following (place in pda)

http://d-h.st/18f

If not you will have to flash an entire stock rom firmware via odin
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] pda1ey:
I tried flashing that kernel with Odin, but when I boot I just get stuck on the Samsung logo.

Thanks for your help and time, but it looks like the backup I took with v6 isn't of any use, and I'll have to start again from fresh.

But I might run with Hell's Fusion as that looks good!

The reason I started all this was because the phone keeps messing up whilst in a call e.g. putting the call on hold, or speaker. I've tested the proximity sensor and thats OK, so I was going to try a custom ROM to see if that cured the problem.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] TheFixItMan:
If you can get into recovery now it should be cwm5

You can try flashing hells fusion now and see if it boots - if not flash stock rom via odin

i am willing to purchase the 2nd gen moto g and i want to know which variant is more development-friendly if there is such a thing. i mean what variant is more easily rooted, customized, and will have more custom roms and generally more developer attention? the single sim XT1063 or the dual sim XT1068?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucas Eugene:
The single sim is actually more easy to build roms for. However the dual sim will be supported in the same way as you can convert the dual sim into a single sim variant.

So buy whichever version that suits you.

I am expecting to receive my single sim variant very soon :D

Another question relating to un-rooting in order to go ahead with the OTA update. Super SU has a built in function to 'Full unroot', can those of us who have rooted use this and then apply the OTA update, then root again after the update?

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wopr303:
Hello.

My question is on this point

I would ask advice on the subject matter that point because the mobile was bought in the EU.

In the url Motorola Mobility LLC report that at the time the bootloader unlock code request, the warranty is voided, citing the legislation FCC (EE.UU).

I sent an email to Motorola asking if the FCC law applied in the EU and they said yes, that if I accepted the conditions, lost the warranty.

As I was not agree, I looked for information on this subject, reaching the European Directive 1999/44 / EC where you are clearly contradict the laws of the FCC in the UE

I opened a Motorola support chat asking for information on this subject, since in the URL Motorola Support [ES], binding to G MOTO WARRANTY (ES), always refers to "tO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ...." and links "Motorola Terms & Conditions" and "Royal Decree", are inoperative.

The person greeted me, told me he did not know about legal issues, it would consult with the appropriate department and I respond no later than Monday (yesterday)

I called today by phone.

The operator insisted on receiving my IMEI, one has enough (XT1068)

I just got an answer, that "would be consulted with senior department" and I would respond within a specified period by a "depending on the type of work that has the management team"

I feel frustrated.

Obligated to accept an opposing legislation to which it is applied in EU territory if you want to open the bootloader.

Paragraph Links Do you have any questions about attending or guarantee ?, those who must make clear the legal issue, are inoperative

If you contact Motorola by email, chat or phone, it ignores the issue.

What do you recommend I wait a few days if they choose to respond?

I put the case before the European Consumer Knowledge Centre in Spain?

About question 11, i asked motorola and they replied that rooting or unlocking bootloader even in europe WILL void your warranty! Don't fool people around or provide a legit source.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glimiril:
Exactly!!

Motorola have been good enough to offer a way of unlocking Bootloader for it's customers knowing some will want to Root, and at the same time they can keep a record of that. Anyone that flashes anything onto phone not officially from Motorola, is taking responsibility away from Motorola for the operation of the device, why should they then cover for a customers usage after that?

If one stops to think about what a Kernel is for example and then the ability to change CPU settings, voltage etc etc, that maybe outside the range Motorola think is safe, to say to a customer that is ok, we'll cover that, just doesn't make any sense at all if device overheats and other operations suffer because of it.

To try to lock a device and return it, I see as a criminal act, lack of taking responsibility and any person trying to do so, in my opinion should be ashamed of themselves. Especially as this phone is no rip off when you compare to the phone market, what Motorola are doing I feel deserves respect, rather than lack off.

Anyway little rant over :)
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucas Eugene:
Since I don't live in the European union I don't know much about the existing policies there.

And by the way you wrote it seems apparently even you don't live there. Motorola customer support barely knows what's happening for their own country and they may not be a relevant source for your information.

[MENTION=3816475]matmutant[/MENTION] Could you provide more info on that

One last thing you should really mind the way you speak here. No offence but if you would seriously like to continue it with other members I'm sure that the consequences may be much more than just intimidating.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matmutant:
I suppose Directive 1999/44/CE is a legit source?

Please read this article : piana.eu/root

And then, simply take the time to search here :eur-lex.europa.eu/

In all cases, if the seller can prove YOU burnt your CPU by overcloking/overvolting, then, that's YOUR own fault, but rooting does NOT void warranty in EU if your device has faulty components.

Hi! Sorry, I'm a confused noob :confused:. I just got my moto g 2 last month, and I was coming from iphone.

A nandroid can be done prior to actually flashing this (should one want the entire stock ROM backed up before altering anything):

fastboot boot recovery.img vs. fastboot flash recovery.img

- which boots the recovery of choice, yet installs nothing. I've done this with both of the following on 4.4.4.

fastboot boot TWRP_2.8.0.1_Titan_v2.img

fastboot boot CWM_Touch_Titan_v2.img

Just put an SDcard in the phone and nandroid it there for easy transfer to a computer afterwards.

Note: The Lollipop update seems to disable this feature, but at least you will have the stock 4.4.4 to go back to (yes, I have had the need already). Hopefully someone finds a workaround for this on 5.0.
