RzRecovery don't mount external_sd

I need some help.

I flash RzRecovery in my SGW. But when i will go flash new rom, put the image in the external_sd, and start in rzrecovery, wipe cache and system. It's not mount external_sd and now i can't boot or install new rom again. I try flash with odin (Windows) and Heimdall (Windows and Linux) a new rom, but when i start in download mode, it don't recognizes device in both programs. In windows not recognizes the usb, i try install the drivers, but not succed.
[Moto X Q&A] gcbxda:
where can i find motorola custom fastboot commands?

i'm stuck on 4.4.3 with CWM.

i want to install stock 4.4.4 but i can't because of CWM.

and i can't remove CWM because motorola only provides 4.4.2 which can't be flashed over 4.4.3

I'm figuring that if RDS-lite or whatever out-of-nowhere program can do that, it does so using fastboot commands. and that list of commands may be available somewhere.

anyone have any idea?

thanks.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
there are no "custom motorola fastboot commands".

RSDLite doesn't use mfastboot

What model X do you have?

Have you tried looking at both -> http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0 and http://www.filefactory.com/folder/dd05c058d3ff8dbe/?sort=created&order=DESC&show=100&page=1 for the SBF you need?

You can use mfastboot to flash an older recovery.img. It SHOULD work, however future OTA may fail due to an incorrect version of recovery.
[Moto X Q&A] gcbxda:
What does RDSlite uses?
[Moto X Q&A] kenosis:
Install RSD-Lite. Download zip file from above link and unzip it. Boot your device to Bootloader and connect to PC via USB. Open Rsd-Lite and Select XML file from unzipped folder. Click "Start". RSD-Lite will automatically install for you.
[Moto X Q&A] gcbxda:
I'm more interested in what RDSlite uses to talk to the phone. Any idea about that? thanks.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
routines built into the exe and dll's of the app.

Seriously, its not a "front end" or "gui" to mFastboot or other tool. Its its own tool. Just like the software updater that is part of the Motorola Device Manager package is its own tool.
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
RSDLite is basically Moto's equivalent to Samsungs Odin.
[Moto X Q&A] gcbxda:
which i also failed to find any info about.

how do they talk with the phone?

a binary protocol? is there anyone trying to decode that?

i have a windows VM with RDSlite now... one of the advantages of those two companies releasing a rogue program like that, they don't have to give support if it burns down your house and kill your cat, but i also do not have to agree to not reverse engineer it :D ...if it was released by those companies and not some chinese gov spy agencie
[Moto X Q&A] Darth:
Dunno... I use them and they work. Good enough for me. ?

Not a conspiracy theorist here. ?
[Moto X Q&A] gcbxda:
lol. just because i'm paranoid, it does not mean they aren't after me!
[Moto X Q&A] gcbxda:
i was sure i wrote more to that reply than just the joke... sigh, either i'm getting more retarded by the hour or the CIA did it!

anyway, joke aside, think about it:

if there is a secret protocol that the manufacturer implements on their fastboot to do things like downgrade without any hassle and probably much more, like flashing modem and other parts that we don't have access normally, why the heck should we not investigate it?!

my curiosity is less about paranoia (even though i'm 99% sure odin and rdslite are the work of a joint china-us spy effort that patches images on the fly to include backdoors) and more about unlocking more from our hardware.

i think in the end i'm still pissed off that i carry a computer more powerful than my desktop but that can only run a silly UI because i have access to nothing.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Well, first off, the only difference between fastboot.exe from the Android SDK and moto's patched version (aka mFastboot) is the ability to flash larger files. The system partitions on Moto phones have been bigger and therefore the mFastboot was created. Standard fastboot will tell you the file size is too great when flashing system.img to Moto phones and that is why mFastboot is needed.

Using fastboot or mfastboot you can downgrade SOME PARTS "without any hassle." However, there are security measures on the phones which prevent downgrading certain parts (think S-ON vs S-OFF on HTC). Moto doesn't allow you to downgrade the GPT.BIN or the contents of Motoboot.img. But you could flash older logo.bin, recovery.img, boot.img, system.img, and modem/radio files. that being said, there are compatibility and other issues that pose other problems when you downgrade.

Fastboot and mFastboot does allow flashing the modems and other parts. The moto X does have a /persistent partition which is not contained in the SBF. But if unlocked & rooted, we can modify it (add/remove files).

Well, RSDlite is a moto tool, and Odin is a Samsung tool.

as for "China-US Spy effort" I'm not even going to go there, other than saying that IS paranoia.

Feel free to sit down, decompile them, analyze them. If you find PROOF anything, post it.

Feel free to sit down and create your own port of Android... or take the time to program your own OS. But these are not meant to be "totally open" devices that the user can do anything they want on it. There are some proprietary components. There are some limits.
[Moto X Q&A] gcbxda:
lol, stop paying attention to the joke man :)

and not talking about mfastboot, talking about how RDSlite talks to the phone. if that does MORE than fastboot/mfastboot, why shouldn't we found out how? that's basic curiosity, despite paranoia.

and i did try to install the 4.4.2 they provided over 4.4.3, but there is no point in allowing to install recovery or whatever if you need a new partition layout everytime. so allowing downgrading something but not gpt is the same as nothing.

I received my Mate 7 yesterday - got shipped on Friday from HK so came very quickly.

I wasn't charged any tax at all as it was marked as 'gift' when shipped; which was very nice!

It is though the MT7-L09 model, so it doesn't support some of the 4G bands over here. Fortunately I'm switching networks soon, anyway, to one that is supported :)

I'm currently on O2 and the LTE doesn't work, but it works on EE reportedly.

Also as a point, the model number I have isn't listed on the Huawei bootloader unlock site so I'm currently awaiting more info to unlock and root my device :)

3 more questions rolled into one thread...

1. I cannot really remember whether I acquired root by going through the official Sony unlock procedure or no. So I don't know whether my BL is locked or unlocked, how can I tell for sure?

2. I would like to update Recovery, have an old version of the DualRec package installed (x.y.z.107) and I know x.y.z.154 is the most recent. Can I just take the flashable version (Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA.flashable) of that and use the current Philz Touch version 6.26.6 to update it? Also, my version of Philz is 6.26.6. It seems incapable of allowing backup of the and-sec partition, will an update by flashing the most recent DualRec fix this?

3. What is the procedure to put the TA partition back in and what features does it really regard? What will be re-enabled, assuming by the TA keys are not intact as of now?
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLINTZ9:
1. You do not get root access by unlocking your bl but you can gain root access by flashing a kernel with root access if you wanna check if your unlocked just plug your phone into fast boot mode and if it shows bootloader status as ROOTED your unlocked

2. Use cwm instead it works fine

3. Use the backup ta tool to restore ta its in cross development forum

ta partition has the drm keys thats required by some media apps like track id

hi

i recently updated the firmware on my device and when i rebooted it, it didn't go into fast boot. I have tried holding the power button for 30 secs to 1 min but the strange thing is, i am able to change the volume and at one point I could tap the screen and hear keypad noises. i can also access the storage on my computer.

any ideas to exit this?

thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Try holding power button and volume up for about 30 seconds or so. When the screen goes dark to reboot, let go of those buttons and just hold volume down. Don't let go until the bootloader screen appears.

If it didn't work, it means you either pressed vol down too late, or let go of it too early. Just try again.

This usually works when folks have issues getting into bootloader.

I accquired a 128 GB SD card a while back after losing my iPod. This was put into my phone hoping it could be a worthy replacement and also more practical that I would only need one device to carry around all the time. My problem however is that most music apps if not all are really slow to browse and they also trigger the "Do you want to close the application" dialogue when they are launched. They eventually respond, but having to wait for that each time is really cumbersome.

Is there anything I can do to get a faster experience with music players in general? I mostly use shuttle+, but other players are really slow to use aswell. I do have a big library of about 100 gigs and about 15k songs, so maybe that plays a part.

Even your laptop will have delay to load 100GB of data! and maybe freeze if load them immediately.\

anyway If you think there is unusual delay in media play app first check the sd-card format

(format it to FAT32)

and also tell about sd-card detail? brand? is it C10/U1?

> for stock music play (Walkman)

- clear cache/data and force stop then install the latest update (you can find simply by a search)

- If it doesn't help try to repair firmware of phone by PC companion

> for 3rd party music player

- just contact its developer (tell them about amount of data + details of sd-card and phone)

:good:
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vonVaffel:
It's formatted to exFAT, isn't that supposed to be suitable? It's a 128GB sandisk C10 card. Regarding the amount of data, it doesn't play slowly on any computer. I can easily make a library of the songs in itunes and play songs with album art etc without any issues. The walkman application, while good, doesn't have thumb scrolling meaning that it will take ages to go through several thousand artists. Shuttle+ has this along with many other players. Clearing cache etc. doesn't fix it, neither does a soft/hard reset of the phone.
