Couple of Questions

Hi Guys,

I have a couple questions before flashing the stock rom.

The latest OTA update for my XT1068(indian dual sim) is 21.11.23.titan and my current recovery is TWRP with an unlocked boot loader. Now the op contains the previous build I believe.

Now my questions, are :

1. Can I just unroot and flash the stock recovery via fastboot to go to stock? Or should I flash the ROM as such? If flashing the recovery is enough, can someone provide me the download link.

2. Can I keep my bootloader unlocked in order to flash this or should I relock the bootloader? Not sure although the OP states that it can be done with an unlocked bootloader.

3. If in case an OTA pops up to update to 5.0 while on root, should I just select on update or unroot before this is done?

Edit : was in a hurry so didnt actually make an effort search the thread if it was already answered. Sorry guys.
[G 2014 General] smitharro:
Thanks, this update finally did the trick! I'm fully back on stock! Bootloader is locked again. One little thing: the waring during startup 'Bootloader Unlocked' remains, while it's really locked!
[G 2014 General] samcortez:
This doesn't change unless you flash the logo file again.
[G 2014 General] smitharro:
Thanks, did it! It's OK now. Relocking the bootloader wasn't the easiest thing I ever did in Android however. Had a softbrick with it. ?
[G 2014 General] Saylin:
I have xt1068 but when i buy it come with retail gb firmware, if i flash international one i still be able to recieve ota?
[G 2014 General] smitharro:
I assume yes. My firmware says reteu. So: Retail European Union! As far as I know Great Britain is part of the European Union!

Sorry for the Dutch language in the picture.
[G 2014 General] zoomingrocket:
Requesting all experts, please help with below flash issue, if possible.

Bootloader is unlocked.

Post restart, i see the same Consumer Cellular version 21.11.23 instead of 21.11.17. Do we have to do some special steps as in my case i am actually downgrading while flashing stock US RETAIL.

Many Thanks in advance.
[G 2014 General] plopingo:
Have you notice new things in this new firmware, I'm running XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-23
[G 2014 General] plopingo:
Flashing success

Don't see any difference, I think it's only bugfix
[G 2014 General] smitharro:
Don't see any difference either. The difference will come with Lollipop I assume!

thanks

its working great

[G 2014 General] diamondjoker5:
Same thing happened with me when I first attempted a flash to stock rom last well. Upon restart I still had the same current consumer cellular rom that it shipped with, and NOT the latest stock rom ( 21.11.17) that I tried flashing with. 21.11.17 is an older version but is the only latest version available for download right now. My bootloader is locked, and I do not want to unlock it in order to maintain warranty. But according to what others have said I should still be able to flash this stock rom without unlocking the bootloader. Or was this never the case?

Keep getting hit with these errors-

(bootloader) Invalid signed image

(bootloader) Preflash validation failed

FAILED (remote failure)

Update- Hitesh 2626 explains it here. I think we are getting the error because we are using an older build, and downgrading is not supported by locked bootloader?

Where can we get access to stock xt1064 21.11.23 rom?

[G 2014 General] plopingo:
unlock it then relock it
[G 2014 General] diamondjoker5:
Unlocking the bootloader requires requesting an official unlock code from motorola. Once you do that, your phone is logged in their database, and they can very well deny you warranty on those grounds alone. Like i stated originally. I do NOT want to unlock my bootloader. If it is the case that older roms are no longer being signed-hence the image verification error, then we simply need to get a hold of the latest current build for the xt1064.
[G 2014 General] KaziRahman:
is this file supported for indian version of xt1068??

if not can you send me the update file for the same so that i can copy it to the sd card and apply update from the sd card please
[G 2014 General] smitharro:
I should work for all regions. Extract the files into the fastboot map of your computer and install them one by one in the right order (see the OP).
[G 2014 General] KaziRahman:
i didn't get you..

what do mean by fastboot map??

is it the recovery mode you are talking about??

and do i have to copy the files and install them individually one after the other as per the sequence??
[G 2014 General] zoomingrocket:
I would also like to confirm if you proceed with unlocking the bootloader, then currently we are not able to lock it back. Will open a new thread in order to troubleshoot & find a solution for Consumer Cellular XT1064.
[G 2014 General] plopingo:
yes only br/de/gb have custom xt1068 firmware
[G 2014 General] :
Thanks for the info

OT : is this update something major or worth updating? Simply lollipop is rolling for our phones then why use up with kitkat updates?
[G 2014 General] plopingo:
Maybe some people like me don't want go to lolipops to hurry, some apps not working with ART, no xposed etc atm ...
[G 2014 General] :

[G 2014 General] :
If you have unlocked bootloader & custom recovery

Flash stock recovery.img and boot to stock recovery and apply the update. No need to lock bootloader for that again
[G 2014 General] smitharro:
Just follow this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2875385

You can flash the bootlogo with the bootloader still locked. Really no need to flash the whole update again! (At least it worked for me!)

So, unpack the zip and flash with 'fastboot flash logo logo.bin' (without the quotes).

Hi all!

I'm from Brazil (sorry for my english, I hate use Google Translator...) and have some doubts.

I brought my Moto G XT1068 a couple of days ago. It's NOT a retail one, it's from an carrier but it's not SIM-lock (no contract).

The firmware installed is the 21.11.24.titan_niibr_ds.niibr.en.BR niibr. The kernel is 3.4.42-g915e599hudsoncm@ilcbld52 #1 Thu Sep 4 16:33:35 CDT 2014.

Then I ask: can I unlock the bootloader, use this procedure and lock the bootloader again, in order to have a Retail firmware installed on my XT1068 ?

If I can, what method is the best? The older or the new one?

I don't want to unlock bootlooader nor make root. I just want to change my frimware to a retail one...

The Note 3 has 388 PPI, SGS5 has 432 PPI, and the Note 4 has 515 PPI. The iP6 has 326 PPI and the iP6+ has 401 PPI. Far from "industry leading."

The Tab S/Pro 8.4 have 359 PPI and the N10.1-14 and Pro 10.1 have 299 PPI; the Tab S 10.5 has 287 PPI. The iPad Retina Mini has 326 PPI and the iPad Air has 264 PPI.

The iPad Air display performs well (but not as well as the Tab S); the higher PPI iPad Mini Retina display not so much.

Comparisons [against the Tab S] with the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX and Apple iPad Tablet Displays: In 2013 the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX Tablets became the top performing Tablet displays in our Display Technology Shoot-Out series, leapfrogging the competition with cutting edge displays using Quantum Dots and Low Temperature Poly Silicon. But with the ever continuing and impressive improvements in display technology the Samsung Galaxy Tab S has now taken the lead for the Best Tablet Displays. The Apple iPad Air, which came in second after the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, now moves into third place for Flagship Tablet models, and the iPad mini with Retina Display, with a very disappointing 63 percent of the standard sRGB/Rec.709 Color Gamut and poor Color Accuracy moves further down the pack for the Mini Tablet models. You can directly compare all of the display performance measurements and results by referring to these and other articles in our Display Technology Shoot-Out article series.​

​

http://www.displaymate.com/OLED_Tablet_ShootOut_1.htm

So it's a

huge

assumption based on history to assume Apple's next tablet displays are automatically going to be great. Especially greater than the Tab S'; the current reigning champion.

Marketing's a myth ladies and gentlemen. So tacking on an acronym (HD) to a contrived term (retina display) doesn't guarantee greatness. Especially since Apple's hasn't owned objective display "greatness" in quite a while.
[Galaxy Tab S General] krzychl:
OK. I will chip in here. I used to have Galaxy Tab 1, Galaxy Tab 7.7, Ipad Mini Retina and now I have Galaxy Tab 8.4 s so I think I have good overview of small and mid sized tablets.

1. When I moved to own Ipad Mini Retina I was truly disappointed with iOS for its limitations, the need to have Ipad constantly hooked to PC, no file browser etc. I was more than excited with battery life and casing quality. The screen at the moment of the purchase of Ipad was OK (it was somehow small to watch movies though it was good to read; color rendition was also OK but was significantly worse than Galaxy Tab 7.7).

Now Galaxy Tab 8.4 s compared to Ipad Mini Retina:

Screen - no comparison at all in favour of Samsung. Perfect screen size, form factor, color rendition and blacks reproduction.

Casing - I am supposed. I expected cheap plastic tablet. It is chip and plastic but after three weeks of use it does not shows signs of any wear (I use book cover).

Battery life is 30%-35% percent worse for Samsung. It is disappointing as regards Samsung but it is not a deal brake r. For me Samsung lasts 6 hours or a bit more whereas Ipad lasted 9-10h.

OS. I am with ANDROID again. Hurra! It is fun and freedom to use this OS again.

^

Swiftness/performance - lag and stutter is again there. It is non issue after I debloated my ROM and changed the kernel but extra 2 Gigs of ram brings suppressingly little.

And of the day I am happy but I am not so certain how I will react when new mini comes out.

Cheers,

KL
