same phone, problems loading roms

I have the same phone, I also recently got second hand.

Moto x xt1053 (gsm) carrier unlocked, currently in kitkat4.4.2, running Kangakat 2 rom (came with it), unlocked bootloader, rooted and using SuperSU, newest version of twrp like 2.8 or something like that.

I want to load a custom rom but am having problems, downloaded P.A.C. and AOKP (two i have tried to use) for the device msm8960 using there stable versions not the nightlies. Went into twrp, created backup, factory wiped, flashed rom and g-apps, was "successful" no errors but on reboot of phone it gets stuck in boot loop and won't start up. for the P.A.C i was able to get into twrp and reflash my back up, for the AOKP twrp kept getting stuck on that teamwin image and i could only finally access it by having the usb cable plugged into my computer. I am not a noob, but definately not an expert.

So did you have any luck flashing a new rom to your phone? Does anyone have any advice for me? I really would like to try some different roms.

Thanks

I hate Tapatalk for all the time spent writing a quick reply and its gone.

Anyways, first of all, make sure you have the latest recovery available, I remember back with my old phone, funky installations happened if you weren't on the latest recovery. I recommend philz one, has support for some pesky partitions that sometimes get messed and other recoveries won't back up.

Now, in my particular case, I first upgraded my 4.4.2 Nextel stock to 4.4.3 T-Mobile stock using RSDLite, then took the OTA to 4.4.4, and until then I figured I'd play with ROMs. Have had no issues other than something I've addressed on another thread and I ultimately fixed.

My suggestion is going back to full stock then doing everything yourself so you know what's actually going on.

You'll have to flash a custom recovery and then root it again but with an unlocked bootloader that's ezpz.

Remember never to downgrade (that is, flashing a lower android version than what you currently run) stock official images (such as the ones from sbf-developers) because you WILL brick your phone. People say you can downgrade when flashing custom ROMs but I wouldn't risk it, and I don't really see why I'd want that.

Double check whatever file you'll try to flash, always use stuff intended for your model, and when that's not possible verify if other users with your model have reported it works for them. As per the version thing, I believe the most recent development unified models under the GHOST parameter but take my words for what they are, that is, my view on things, you should always make one for yourself.

Ask if you don't completely understand a step BEFORE doing it, there's good people willing to help you out.

Best of luck.

So I use Splashtop to stream my PC's desktop to my tablet and phone. It works great. Is there an app or a way to stream my Android OS screens and running apps to my PC? Just thought it would be cool to play some games on a larger screen than 10.1 inches (my tablet).

I looked on Gplay but couldn't find anything but I may not be using the right words to search.

Thanks

So over at xperiablog, it said the Z2 AOSP had been released by Sony. Does that mean it will work for the Z2 Tablet as well?

[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
Reading, it seems the aosp is for phones only, and not tablets, with the exception of the unified kernel across several platforms.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Only Ozzy:
Dang, well we're closer it seems. Thanks.
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moscow Desire:
Well, I'm not a professional on Sony, but it seems they are trying to get rid of the version fragmentation and go for one unified build for all devices. This is probably evident in some of the recent cross platform mods we have going on. One mod for all devices (4.4.x)

SSH for the Rooted Fire TV

Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol for secure data communication, remote command-line login, remote command execution, and other secure network services between two networked computers.

So what? Why do I want this on my Fire TV?

Right now, the only means of communicating with your Fire TV is through ADB, which is fine, but has limitations, mainly due to the fact that adb does not run as root.

SSH does, so those limits are removed. Using scp or even better sftp you can easily copy files to and from any area on your Fire TV, issue commands via ssh and more.

Details are HEREhttp://www.jocala.com/busydrop.html
[Fire TV Android Development] jocala:
reserved

Note: If you are an adbFire user you already have this. Just select "Install SSH" from the root menu.

Note: This is probably not compatible with other busybox installs. They do vary depending on compile-time options. Please uninstall Google Play busybox installs or other variants before installing BusyPlay!
[Fire TV Android Development] AFTVnews.com:
Nice. I look forward to trying this out soon.

SSH helper apps

This is a cross-post from another forum. I thought it might be useful here.

root/password -- the userid should default to root

The command-line "ssh "helper" apps are:

Manually start the server with a password (no spaces)

sshstart
Usage: sshstart password -- arguments: the password you want to use

Kill sshd immediately

sshstop
Usage: sshstop -- no arguments, immediately kills ssh server

Show sshd status

sshstatus
Usage: sshstatus -- no arguments, gives ssh server status

Create sshd startup script with given password

sshinit
Usage: sshinit password -- arguments: the password you want to use (no spaces)
this program creates the file /etc/init.d/02sshd that starts sshd at boot

Delete sshd startup at boot script

sshboot
Usage: sshboot -- arguments: rm
Typing sshboot rm deletes the file /etc/init.d/02sshd that starts sshd at boot
[Fire TV Android Development] jmandawg:
Should i uninstall my playstore busybox before installing this?
[Fire TV Android Development] jocala:
Yes.
[Fire TV Android Development] rotor00ter:
So I gave this a try following your instructions as it looked like it would work great for backing up cwm recovery files to my PC. I followed all the instructions installing the zip through cwm recovery and rebooting but when I click on ssh on adbfire 1.11 it says fatal error connection refused. Any idea what I might have done wrong or how to get it working. I have installed putty on my computer and I tried to connect directly through putty as well but that wouldn't work either. How can I test if the ssh server is working or not?

**edit: I got it to connect to putty and winSCP after uninstalling the busybox I had installed and installing the busybox through adbfire 1.11 I can see this being a very powerful and useful tool for the Fire TV. Very nice work jocala. I still can't see the cwm recovery files I would like to back-up though. Shouldn't they be in the /storage/emulated/legacy/clockworkmod folder unless I am missing something?
[Fire TV Android Development] jocala:
I've added notes concerning Google Play busybox installs and adbFire.

/storage/emulated/legacy (/sdcard) is where my clockworkmod directory is. I haven't done a backup, so mine is empty.
[Fire TV Android Development] {ParanoiA}:
Does this allow using keys?
[Fire TV Android Development] jocala:
It should, although I haven't tried. A new startup script would be needed, sshstart is hardcoded to startup using a password.

BusyDrop 1.01 released

Changelog: update to BusyBox v1.22.1 (2014-10-26 17:14:21 EDT)
[Fire TV Android Development] rotor00ter:
This setup is awesome for transferring files to and from the Fire TV. Much better and easier than adb once you get it set up properly. I have been using this with WinSCP and it has worked perfectly.
[Fire TV Android Development] CLran619:
thank you very much for this. im loving it.
[Fire TV Android Development] hazard666:
Is there a benefit to using this over an app like Servers Ultimate?
[Fire TV Android Development] jocala:
Obviously I think so or I wouldn't have taken the time to develop it. Are you a user of this other app?
[Fire TV Android Development] hazard666:
Or it's a completely valid question and I was wanting some input, but if you have issue with answering then ok.

Edit: What difference does it make whether I am or not a user of another app? I was asking if there is a benefit to using your app since I already have an established solution. Nevermind though.
[Fire TV Android Development] jocala:
My apologies, rapid post at the end of a long bad day. I regretted my snappish response as soon as I hit enter, and edited, but not soon enough.
[Fire TV Android Development] hazard666:
It's quite alright. I'm not too happy with my current setup so I will be trying out BusyDrop.
[Fire TV Android Development] jocala:
If you have any questions I'll be more than happy to assist. Now I'm going to bed before I kick my dog or do something else that will embarrass me tomorrow.
[Fire TV Android Development] sirxdroid:
+1 for being able to ssh in using a key and disabling password logins. It makes it easy to log in from putty and other ssh clients, more secure and I don't have to record one more password.
[Fire TV Android Development] jocala:
How'd you set it up?
[Fire TV Android Development] sirxdroid:
Hmm, I'm not sure, I just tried the following from my client:

ssh-copy-id root@firetv

This created /data/local/.ssh/authorized_keys and added the public RSA key to it that the command above sent, but then ssh still prompts for a password so it doesn't seem to work, but that's that idea. Looking at "dropbear --help" it seems there's a -R option that may help, but your sshstart doesn't seem to be a script -- is it something that is compiled?

Also, dropbear seems to support -s and -g to disable password logins.

EDIT: I got it to work by starting dropbear like this:

dropbear -A root -N root -s -g -R /data/local/.ssh/authorized_keys

I can now log in without a password, just with a key.
[Fire TV Android Development] {ParanoiA}:
I don't mean to sound like a noob here but I can't get this to work at all. I've tried sshstart and it says it started with my password but then I run sshstatus and says not running. Sshinit also throws unknown option --o for me. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
[Fire TV Android Development] jocala:
su to root, then try.
[Fire TV Android Development] {ParanoiA}:
Ok i tried as root and see that the 02sshd file gets changed to whatever password I type in, but it still gives me the same errors and I cannot connect. I read through the "roll your own" section too and it looks like everything is set up correctly. Could it be that I switched to koush's Superuser? Even though, I have /etc/install-recovery.sh that calls /etc/install-recovery-2.sh and that calls /etc/init.d/02sshd. Ok, if I edit the 02sshd to manually start it like [MENTION=4966885]sirxdroid[/MENTION] did, I can connect with putty. So its working but that just seems weird to me...
[Fire TV Android Development] sirxdroid:
I'm not sure what sshstart does, it's not a script, it's a binary, but by the looks of the error you are getting, it has something to do with su and now that you mentioned you are not using SuperSU that could be the problem.

You don't have to use the 02sshd script, you can remove it and roll your own that calls dropbear directly.
[Fire TV Android Development] jocala:
char *part1 = "su -c /data/jocala/ssh/dropbear -A -N root -U 0 -G 0 -C ";
char *part2 = " -r /data/jocala/ssh/dropbear_rsa_host_key";

strcpy (str, part1);
strcat (str, password);
strcat (str, part2);

system(str);
printf ("ssh started with password: \"%s\".\n",password);

The binaries were part of a "learn the ndk" effort on my part, rolling out the ndk using OS X, doing some simple C. I forgot to post the source on my gethub, I'll get that done rsn.
[Fire TV Android Development] sirxdroid:
Thanks for posting the source. Maybe the ssh* helpers should be turned into scripts, easier to debug and modify.
[Fire TV Android Development] xokol2lvox:
This is great for built in ftp server to edit/manage files on fire tv from pc. Only issue I have having is it will not show any file >4gb. Is this possible with ssh or am I a noob and not able to wrap my head around this? Thanks
[Fire TV Android Development] jocala:
fat32 filesystems are limited to 4gb. Is that what you're using?
[Fire TV Android Development] xokol2lvox:
Sorry, more details probably would have helped. I am trying to access large Nov files on ext4 formatted usb hdd. The files are there and I can adb and see and manage all. I just noticed them missing when I log into ftp recently. I like using flashfxp to manage files and edit scripts and such from pc. I at first thought was flashfxp, but also checked esfile manager on my phone, also not showing. Still figuring out inner bits of android and have googled about this and finding has to do with compiling? I know fat32 can't handle 4gb and evidently it can happen on python libs as have run into script returning incorrect file sizes for 4gb+ files.
[Fire TV Android Development] jocala:
I've run into problems transferring files > 2.14GB with both scp and samba under Android, even with large file support compiled in. I believe the protocols are expecting a 4-byte (aka, 32 bit) file length (2.14 GB limit) and that this is a 32bit Android limitation. However adb's push seems to work with files of any size, so go figure...
[Fire TV Android Development] xokol2lvox:
Sorry, I kinda disappeared, but I have since found that ssh server from market works for large files. I liked yours for being built in, but this app runs as service to allow ftp transfers and managing I was looking for. Must be some underlying issue somewhere that's beyond my level of knowledge with android. Thanks for info though.
[Fire TV Android Development] jocala:
Which one?
[Fire TV Android Development] jocala:
Unfortunately, I'm finding it difficult to keep Busydrop in sync with adbFire, so I've decided to close this thread.

Busydrop is still available as part of adbFire. Feel free to download adbFire and extract the archives ssh.tar and xbin.tar for updated versions. Feel free to contact me via PM or in the adbFire thread if you need guidance.

Pretty confused. I cannot select 4k, or at first anything above 720p until I installed the re installed Youtube\cleared it. Now I have the option of 1080p, but I am still missing the option of 4k as I have the Note 4, is this just a Youtube mobile app problem or what? Thanks in advance, loving the display but confused as the Youtube app just seems funky and won't allow anything above 1080p, so I have no way of really showing off the phones 4k feature in terms of video quality. Thanks in advance :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crichton333:
You sure that the content has 4k option on your PC ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BGuILtY718:
There's no option in the YouTube app for 4k. You yourself a can shoot 4K video or view content that has been uploaded in 4K.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrt19872:
Oh I've tried a boat-load of 4k ones. On my PC there is an option for 4k with them, not on Note 4's Youtube app. I also at first was stuck with just up to 720p, I uninstalled Youtube and re-installed and now get 1080p, but still nothing like 1440p or 4k.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
The 1080 option is a very recent addition to the Youtube app. (one of the last two updates.)

Which is ridiculous, since 1920x1200 screens on Android have been around since the Asus TF700T introduced them in July 2012. More than two bloody years ago.

2K will probably take them another two years to figure out, 4k at least four.

So no, the option does not exist.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrt19872:
According to what I was reading if you go back two Youtube updates you get 1440P, you just have to uninstall and manually install the old package. It was in there, as was 1080P before, they just took it out for some reason. Stupid considering all the 4k devices on the market now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teonagode:
Dident you even consider that it wasnt stable enough and 1080p is back, at least here in Europe.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laithm:
Still having this problem

Load 4k vids on YT and 1440 is the highest option

Anyone know if and when YT will include 4k as an option?

Also is there a site or resource that posts what youtube is working on/releasing/released/etc. ?

Like when app updates say what comes with the update and what's different. ..something like that for youtube android development

You told tht u tried nandroid backup.. Is it retrieve the media before?

if yes than it might be media already in the phone.

I am also doing nandroid backup again I will let u know my media retrieve or not.

it preferable to use TWRP.
