[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kurotsuchi:
Hello

I wanted to flash CM 11 on my KLTE S5 (SM-G900F), I was on stock 4.4.2. having custom recovery philz_touch_6.57.8-klte.tar.

I flashed AVALON-KLTE_AOSPPPP Kernel in order to flash the CM 11 but it gave me status 7 error.

I flashed another AOSP kernel KT-SGS5-KK4.4-AOSP-G900-10.15.2014, again this gave me Status 7 error.

I am aware of CM Team's tutorial here using Heimdall Suite. but I am looking for an easier method for flashing CM11.

I would appreciate anyone giving me a Proper and Working Kernel for Flashing 4.4.4 CM.

FIRST THINGS FIRST. THIS IS DIRECTED TO BRAZIL USERS! It may help some folks from other countries but it is not what I had in mind.

So, I got my new moto X on Brazil retail for a month now. Came from 1st gen gen moto x and, before that I would pretty much root and mess around with every single phone I got my hands on. Never felt the need to do that on the old X. So, I got the new one with very high expectations.

So far I am not disappointed with it but there ARE areas for improvement. So, what I think of it right now:

The good:

- The camera is definetly upgraded from the old model, but that doesnt mean it is a good camera. I would definetly say it is a average in comparison to the poor one from before. Video is very good though.

- It feels so comfortable in the hand. I was a bit worried about the 5.2 screen and the sheer size of it (I do have big hands but I am not a fan on phablets at all) but it has a very comfortable grip and the metal frame gives a very good feel. The bigger dimple is ok.

- This is true flagship performance for for a great price for Brazil standards (I got mine for R$ 1424, (that's around $650 dollars) and I am pretty much on top of every benchmark test and performance test I make with my friends. The stock interface does shine here.

- The new version of moto software is GREAT! The waving hand to glance at the notifications is the greatest thing and we finally get a use for voice commands.

The bad:

- My battery time is far from great. I am a heavy phone user and I do need to charge it around 6 pm (10 hours off charger). I listen to music and game on commute (around 1 hour each way), have email notifications and whatsapp buzzing all day. A friend has pretty much the same use on his GS5 and usually has 20% more battery than me. It really seems like moto gave it such a small battery on purpose to direct peoply to the Nexus 6.

- Software has it's fair share of quirks. Moto screen has a small glitch when you interact with it. It is minor but is does bug me. Voice control has a real hard time getting some of the commands straight. The phone recognizes the commands but moto doesnt catch them. I have to say them 3 or 4 times to get it to work.

- I really wish moto packed a better headphone with it or no headphone at all. It is better than the one before but it really doesnt say much, since it was was total C-R-A-P. Construction is poor, sound is questionable and volume is incredibly low. Just avoid it if you can.

Other than that I really believe this is the best high end fone you can get down here now without having to fork over R$2000 or getting a outdated phone. Let me know if you have any other questions about it

Hello pacobahyba,

Thanks for your report, I'm on the same boat here, Brazilian Retail version, almost 30 days already. My last device was a Galaxy Nexus, over almost 3 years (That's how much a device usually last with me, that's what I expect from the MotoX).

---

Good things, i can add a few points:

* Camera: It have a good camera, overall. As a photographer i dont expect a phone to have a very neat camera, so MotoX didn't let me down so far.

* Size/Shape: Good grip on hands (Sometimes it's hard to use it with one hand, but not enought to don't like it), but also very comfortable in pocket, I know it's there but don't make me fell unconfortable.

* Very neat performance, as you said. Not even a lag, freeze, anything like that. Since I came from stock Android (Nexus device) I can say that I'm home here, and that's also awesome.

* Never used Moto softwares before, so I can't say about changes, only about how much i liked it, it's pretty awesome, but fells a little bit awkward on the street, also I can't make it works with the headphone speaker, not a problem, since I don't talk to the device on street.

* Battery: I'm very satisfied with it, last device was very poor on battery specs. I don't play games, but I'm always using GPS and Bluetooth, Spotify and Flacs, playing videos, email and web. You can add Skype and Hangouts with camera there, also Chromecast/Netflix and the Battery last till I get home to recharge it.

* Besides the fact Motorola made heavly saturated colors, screen is amazing.

---

Bad Things:

* Moto Voice takes too long to give an answer when it uses Google Now.

* Sometimes Moto Voice just don't work.

* Speakers are loud, LOUD, but not clear, not intense or 'live'. I would exchange the high volume to a more clear sound without a second thought. It's not Stereo (the top speaker only work with calls).

* No leds, not a big problem, but I used to use it a lot on last device, with Light Flow app.

* Power button fells like it will break anytime.

---

I really like it. It's far the best phone I got the hands on so far. I know it's only a Phone so most of the 'Bad Things' won't matter. I'm very pleased with the choice I made (I was about to replace my Galaxy Nexus to Nexus 5) and I hope it last for at least 30 months. I really liked the Motorola apps, and I would be very happy with more apps choice in the future.

Best regards (and sorry about the typos).

Just got mine today! Good to see Brazilian folks here.

Do you guys bought a case and a screen protector? I'm having a hard time finding it in Brazil :/
[X 2014 General] seco2004:
I'm really loving this phone, the active display is what I think it's best on the phone so far. And the camera is really not that good, but I guess they can correct that with some software update. I bought a screen protector for mine, and should have bought a case as well, mine already took his first visit to the floor yesterday :( no major damage, but it got a little scratched on the corner...
[X 2014 General] pacobahyba:
I got a generic one here but Im trying to get some quality cases. Lookup on artcases. They're quite expensive though [emoji52]

[X 2014 General] nTrophy:
Headphone? At least you got one.

My US Pure Edition didn't have headphones at all (not that I would use them anyway, but still)
[X 2014 General] pacobahyba:
I saw that but trust me, you're better off without it. It is total crap

Moto XT1097 for the win
[X 2014 General] apedropais:
Hi Paco!

I felt the same about the new MotoX.

Bigger screen, better camera, better construction, but the battery does not fit for heavy users.

Moto Voice doesn't work well, but I rarely use it (I think that talk to the phone is strange; people in Brazil see you like a weirdo).

And I still can't find cases for this phone. I got a hard case in my old MotoX. One month has passed and no hard cases for new moto (is it selling fine?!?!)
[X 2014 General] pacobahyba:
Cases are stll tricky to find. Lookup on artcases, but beware of the prices though!

Moto XT1097 for the win
[X 2014 General] Noed:
I'm in Brazil too, considering to buy.

root is a must for me... did you guys already root it, the XT1097 brazilian version is bootloader unlocked?

Options I'm considering:

Moto X 2014 (XT1097 BR) - Sounds it will be ok to root, with good dev community, I'm concerned with battery only

Moto Maxx - Huge battery, but looks like dev community will be really small, because the US version is Verizon locked

Nexus 6 - That's the one I really want, but no news so far about launch in Brazil, will it ever come?
[X 2014 General] seco2004:
Mine is the XT1097, and I got to unlock the bootloader and root it with no issues whatsoever. As for your options, me personally, I would just trade my Moto X for the nexus 6, that one is the is the real deal, even though I don't like the idea of having a 6 inch display, too big for my taste.
[X 2014 General] pacobahyba:
hey man sorry for the delay... I see what you're saying on your options. The way I see it you gotta be between N6 and moto x. I dont like the maxx design... they remind me of that dreadful razr line :p

I think it should come down to a few things:

Are you a phablet fan? Otherwise you're in for a hard cause cause that thing is a monster.

Are you ok with the price tag? I liked the price range from nexus devices before. I get that Google changed the philosophy and all that and I am fine with their reasoning, it's just not my thing. I truly see it coming out here on iPhone 6 price range, but it is ultimately your choice.

Can you wait? It just barely came out. We usually have a delayed window. Keep in mind that moto is having a hard time to keep up with the demand. It's not unreasonable to think we'll get it by jan.

All things considered, I like where you're heading anyway! Let menknow what you do!
[X 2014 General] Noed:
Thanks for the replies guys.

I will be ok with the screen size and price on Nexus 6. Yeah, I expect it to be expensive, but I will probably not need an upgrade in a few years hopefully.

I'm in a hurry though, because my old Galaxy S2 is almost dead... since there's no target date for Nexus 6 in Brazil, I may have to get a Moto X 2014 instead.
[X 2014 General] rafaelw:
I'm brazilian and was willing to buy this phone. BUT....thanks to this post, i think i 'm gonna wait more.

I think the Nexus 6 will be the best for what i want. It really pisses me a small battery autonomy.

I was a Note 2 user, and i get used to a big battery. Currently i'm with a S5 but not satisfied with the autonomy.

Note 4 is too much expensive, and that TW is too much boring right now.

I really thinking about N6, but there is not even a single mention about if it will be avaliable to us here in BR.
[X 2014 General] pacobahyba:
Hey rafaelw,

I REALLY believe that the N6 will cost Note 4 money once it hits brazil, so try not to get your hopes up on that department.
[X 2014 General] rafaelw:
I believe that at the launching it can be some high cost, but the Nexus line it's not the typically phone for the major BR population, making the price drop after some time. I never bought phones at the launching, I wait to drop it. The Note 4 is too much expensive, and the price drop is too much slow
[X 2014 General] pacobahyba:
You re right on that, but then again google never did make such a high end nexus phone... but hey, I get your point dude!
[X 2014 General] rafaelw:
Another question dude, what is the currently situation about Root and custom roms? Do you fell the need of them?

I don't know your historic with smartphones, but I'm at my 4th Android phone and one of the first things that I do in a new phone is to root it and search for custom roms.

(But the main reason to root is to freeze or uninstall crap softwares that came original installed, I don't think that Moto x have this problem).

Thanks
[X 2014 General] pacobahyba:
So, rooting is there but custom roms are not.

I am on my 6 android phone (had the sony x10, moto milestone 2, milestone 3, razr i, the original x and the new x). Before the original x I d root every single phone I had mainly for custom roms and better performance management so I think we are alike on that point :)

Now with that being said, since the original X I didn t see the need to root it. Performance was snappy from day one and it stayed that all all the way before I sold it. That baby was a beast. The new X feels the same to me. It is pretty much stock android feel and motorola software actually enhances the phone's usability without affecting the performance at all. I see that quite a few people have it rooted but, since most of my backup is done automatically using tasker and I store it on 2 different locations, I have very little to worry about :D
[X 2014 General] Noed:
I couldn't wait anymore, got the XT1097 in FastShop.

Didn't root yet, the only thing I miss most is hibernating bad apps with Greenify... what do you guys do to tame apps that are insistent to start and consume cpu/mem/data all the time?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] bgiesing:
Is anybody having issues getting the Nexus 7 to recognize the Fitbit's NFC tag? It works fine on my 2012 Nexus 7 and I can occasionally get it to work by taking it out of the band but that defeats the purpose.

I have tried pressing all over the back including below the x.

Can somebody help?

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichiN:
Hi guys, as I wanted to change a permissions in my /system/lib directory, I accidentally disabled the "Execute"-Permission for my /system/lib folder. I know, im stupid as ****. I usually am not that dumb.

Currently, my G3 (855, 32gb) is only booting in recovery. I'm looking for a solution to change the permissions of the /system/lib folder, but it seems impossible.

Thanks for every single advise!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oposiasty:
Use adb with recovery booted and then:

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

chmod 644 /system/lib

It should work ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichiN:
Thank you for your answer, but I think I'm not able to configure it via ADB. It isn't recognized in recovery, and when I'm putting it into that ADB Update mode, ADB just says "error: closed"...
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingOfDope:
wich recovery do you have? TWRP or stock?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RichiN:
Thank you too. I had stock recovery installed. I had BusyBox installed and could have changed the permissions via script, but I decided to

flash stock and unlock my bootloader afterwards. Everything went fine, so we can consider this thread as solved.

Anyone else having issues with the new update and Bluetooth? I have a Gear 2 watch that will disconnect when the phone and watch are nearby. It also drops the hands-free in my car as well. I am rooted, and I tried a wipe and a load of the latest update with Odin, but it is still doing it to me.

Anyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joshv720:
Help me please guys. I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 model SGH-I337. My manager helped me use Safe Strap to flash a Nexus ROM. I like the ROM alot but my internet is no longer 4g lte, it's now H plus. I have unlimited data but i downloaded an app to enable me to tether. My gathering no longer works unless i do it via Bluetooth. My Google chrome also force closes every time i open it. Usally i would just switch back to my stock touch wiz in this case. The problem is my manager put the stock rom on his sd card because i had no room on mine. I cannot get it back from him because he is on vacation. So i backed up this ROM because it works at least(I've found ways around those problems but they are very annoying.)

What i am asking is i wanna just flash a new rom that works( enables tethering, amazing on battery, preferably a google or android[i will take touch wiz as a last resort]) but I'm unsure of what i should search for because my phone model after the nexus ROM is GT-I9505G. Do i get a ROM for that our what? PLEASE HELPPP!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Get a rom for the i337. not the i9505

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joshv720:
Thank you guys very much!!

While I have you here, what ROM's do you reccomend for the AT&T varient Galaxy S 4? The SGH-I337.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joshv720:
Thank you guys very much!!

Do you know of any ROM's that are flaw less on my S4? I would like one that is great on battery and very smooth and fast. One that let's me utilize tethering and 4g lte. That is also compatible with safe strap. Thank in advanced.

I just downloaded a OTA update on my S4, which I hoped was 4.4.4, but it looks like it is still Android 4.4.2. During the update, it says it was also updating KNOX, does anyone know what this update is, I was hoping it was the 4.4.4 upgrade. It did update KNOX to 2.0, so hopefully I can move my work stuff into KNOX now, and not have my basic phone subject to my work's locking policy.

The build number is KOT49H.I545VRUFNG6.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] michaely123:
It's just small bug fixes for bluetooth connectivity and updates for KNOX 2.0.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] michaely123:
Download Titanium Backup and try to freeze SDM, you might have to purchase Titanium Backup Pro to freeze apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fadtydawg:
When it asks just click , No Thanks.. Update won't show again till you manually look for an update in settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BrianLayman:
I see the method for rooting the G6 involves the roll back to G5 and flashing G6. I've already towel rooted G5, will accepting the G6 OTA remove root for me because of the knox update? IOW if I want the LAG, is it better to flash G6 via odin, or can I just accept the OTA?

Thanks for your time!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fadtydawg:
You will lose root if you flash NG6 on Odin or Accept the OTA update. The only way to keep root is to follow that flash back method if you want the update and keep root. My advice is not to updated at all. The NG6 update has issues with random reboots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zelmo88:
I would also advise not taking the NG6 update. I did and I went back to NC5. The random reboots seem to be unfixable and there really wasn't anything new and exciting with NG6, unless you need Knox 2.0 for some crazy reason! STAY WITH NC5!!!

Say what? Mine is prompting me to install the update. It only gives me 2 choices "Install now" and "Install later", and if I choose later, it prompts me to pick a time for it to install. There is also a checkbox that says "Install automatically", which I am leaving unchecked. So, I think it's going to prompt me every day from now on, unless I root and then freeze something.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] metalunna:
I read your post..updated for the heck of it..FDR'd it...random rebooted after a a few minutes.

Its been 2 days so far, and the thing reboots 3-4 times a day.

I noticed that sometimes before it reboots, I'll unlock it, and it wont even register my security swipe..Then it reboots..Sometimes, if it does let me in, tapping on an icon does nothing...then it reboots...Other times, like this morning, it was just sitting on the end table, and it rebooted. Boy, you weren't kidding about the reboots.

BTW..All stock.
