[Moto X Q&A] 1ad_m12:
My bootloader is locked and I was trying to bump up to 4.4.4

Problem is I have to flash my kernel manually via fastboot and my computer isn't recognizing my X in fb mode. I've done manual flashes on Windows 8 before but its been a while since flashing and my laptop is up to 8.1 now.

So my questions: Do the fastboot drivers for the X not work properly on 8.1 and if there are new ones where can I get them?

I've already been to the moto site to download the Motorola Device Manager but it still doesn't fix my problem. Without the kernel the phone boots but its all kinds of buggy. Luckily I was able to Nand back to 4.4.2 and everything is stable.If you can help me that would be greatly appreciated... And if not then I'll just have to wait on Sunshine.

If your bootloader is locked how did you change from your stock kernel?

That wasn't the answer I was looking for. But if you want to know what I was trying to do look here http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/development/rom-212-44-26-ghostatt-kernel-dump-t2850960
[Moto X Q&A] Travisdroidx2:
Sorry if that was not the answer you were looking for. I was trying to figure out what you did. Making sure you did not try and downgrade your bootloader. If you need to flash your kernel and your PC won't recognize your device why not use flashify app or similar to flash it without a PC?
[Moto X Q&A] 1ad_m12:
I'm pretty sure you can't flash a stock kernel onto a locked bootloader device without using fastboot to do it. I haven't tried it but I'm also not trying to risk it. I was just wondering if the fastboot drivers were compatible with Windows 8.1 is all.

Wht should i buy ? i'll have to keep this untill Jasjar successor comes out so plz suggest ! I liked Wifi + prefer Gps :confused: :confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Scenario 1

I would go for Wifi access because I do not have a good Data Contract and only use GPRS/3G when I really have to on my travels. In which case Vario II (particularly as I already have a navigation system for in vehicle and when walking I don't really need it) GPS can be added if yiu really must.

Scenario 2

If however you have a good cost effective data tarriff then Wifi is not nearly so important. Also if you like wifi cos you can access your PC then you can still do this over GPRS connection using some third party software. In this case Compact 3 reasonable but no 3G although you get GPS

I have an unlocked Verizon Galaxy S5. It’s issue is it cannot send MMS messages. The Access Point Names field missing in settings / more networks / mobile networks. It just isn’t there.

I flashed kltevzw_AllianceRom_Build1.1 and can now send MMS messages, but now cannot access mobile data. The Network Mode is set to LTE / CDMA and Mobile Data is ON. It gets Error code: ERR_INTERNET_DISCONNECTED when it tries to access the internet thru a browser.

SM-G900R6 VZW LRA Partner Carrier Variant Help Thread

What carrier are you using that phone on? That phone isn't sold or designed for Verizon users, which is why you're having issues.. It's the lra carrier model. Stock roms (at least on roms I've used) also don't generally give you an option to create apns, even with apps. So that leaves you apn backup and restore, you should be able to use it for mms/LTE. Follow XDA thread showing process on how to use it on kitkat. Tho that leaves you with a problem of getting a apn backup of a Verizon user. If you are a Verizon user, where did you get the phone anyway??? It's basically an unlocked/unbranded cdma phone that was designed for the small carriers Verizon is partnered with, even tho it works because it's cdma you will have issues with Verizon, they won't give you support on it if you bring it in or whatever.

Also... Never flash firmware not designed for your phone. Only use the g900r6 one you found. Looks like you tripped Knox and bricked several times in the process..

I recently bought a KF 2nd gen off a friend and sucessfully rooted it on 10.5.0. But I'm stumped on how to install the 2nd bootloader and recovery. I had a KFHD and used FireFlash in the past but, I not sure that i should use that software. I looked at Hashcode's thread but, still need a bit of a walk through. I do have a fastboot cable but, was looking for a easier possible automated way to install the 2nd bootloader and recovery.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] phiftyopz:
Unfortunately, you need a fastboot/factory cable to flash the second bootloader to your device.

Also (to my knowledge), there isn't a second bootloader for 10.5.1 or 10.5.0 yet.

If you have any questions about your device, don't be afraid to ask!

I recommend using my update-kindle-prerooted.6.3.3.v1.zip first Even if you want pure stock

The Full stock will flash the stock Bootloader, and stock recovery, even if the partitions are not right.

If the Pre-rooted zip boots fine, then you can try the update-kindle-6.3.3_D01E_4112920.zip

if the Pre-root does not boot, you still have TWRP/FFF, and it is easier to fix.

Hello again, Shadow!...

I wasn't real happy with the way my device was running, so I wanted to try a different rom. I followed along in your video and everything was going well untill, I got to the last step.

I used the suggested file update-kindle-prerooted.6.3.3.v1.zip

Everything went ok......no errors or anything. My device was finished before yours was in the video so I just set it off to the side for a minute.

Your next step was to wipe cache, then reboot. BUT, when I went to pick my device back up, I accidentally hit the reboot button and now my kindle is stuck on a bootloader (?) screen. The word Kindle is white and the word Fire is blue, there is no animation and it just says booting......at the bottom of the screen.

I have tried turning it off/on with the power button. When it first comes on, it says press the power button for boot menu, but pressing the power button doesn't do anything. It just goes from the 'press power button' to 'Booting' and just hangs up there.

Any suggestions?

....ok, I got it to finally reboot back into recovery, but it will not boot to normal........

I don't think I missed a step, but I will review while I wait and see if I can perhaps troubleshoot.....

....also, I did initially try using the update-kindle-6.3.3_D01E_4112920.bin file but it wouldn't show up on the device under sc card. I tried using the original file name and after renaming it to update.zip.

I could see the file was there on my computer, but the device wasn't showing anything. That's when I tried the update-kindle-prerooted.6.3.3.v1.zip, however, I didn't change the file name. Perhaps that is where I errored?
