Battery Drain

I started experiencing some pretty serious battery drain today with no real explanation in the battery stats. Sideloaded the Lollipop soak test on Saturday and haven't had much issue until now. Consistently dropping with not much use all morning, almost dead before noon and took it off the charger at around 8 am. Anyone else having problems like this?
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Please don't take this rant personally....I'm just a little frustrated that people STILL do not seem to grasp this concept. But the part I bolded drives me absolutely freaking nuts. Why? Because somehow waiting for the OTA is going to change anything. The reality is, it won't. The soak IS the OTA. If it doesn't install, the OTA is going to fail just as spectacularly. Waiting for it to get pushed isn't going to change that fact. Fixing the issues caused by rooting and modifying the phone are the only way to get the upgrade to work.

This goes for everyone...."I'll just wait..." is not an option.
[X 2014 General] godutch:
The soaktest is only the ota if you have an att xt1095
[X 2014 General] IGoDur6:
Haha, I appreciate the rant especially since you directed it towards me (only because of the quote). It gave me the motivation I needed to try my plan for myself. I only figured if I updated from Motorola then it wouldn't be "My fault" if it failed. Anyways, thank you dood.
[X 2014 General] kylepsp:
I've been wondering this, I've got a non carrier euro Moto x. Can I use this zip?
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Yea, and? You shouldn't be installing it on any other phone. But it's not for me to decide what people do with their phones. If you think you're going to install this and then magically get the OTA designed for your phone, well, um, no.
[X 2014 General] godutch:
you need to to install the att xt1095 rom first but be careful many people messed up their phone
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Wellllll, it still would be your fault that it failed cause you modified the system partition. LOL :D That's the danger of rooting and modifying things. ALWAYS make sure you can get back to full stock. Of course, you know what would make everyone's life easier? If Moto posted the damn images on their site!!! Come on, Moto, get with it already.
[X 2014 General] godutch:
You can use your google or motorola account to complain on their forum
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Oh trust me, we went a step further than that. Someone started a thread on it in the Moto X 2013 forum and we all opened customer service issues. The image for my xt1053 was then posted but they promised the others, including your Pure Edition, would be posted "soon". Well, here we are 2 weeks later and they're still not posted. It's not because Moto doesn't want to....they are 100% committed to releasing them. But they've been a little busy lately and it fell off the truck. But man, that would have solved 90% of the issues I've seen in this thread to have those images available.
[X 2014 General] kylepsp:
I'm going to give this firmware a go on my EU phone. So to clarify, dont just flash the zip in recovery, I have to flash via flashboot, then flash the boot.img and system.img from Graffix's OTA? Why not just stick with the EU boot and system image?
[X 2014 General] tebower:
Or, they are an incredibly busy husband and father with a demanding job at a fortune 500 company and crazy schedules and were only looking for a simple "yes" or "no." I got my answer, so thank you to all of you for helping me. Thank you also for expending much more effort than was needed to not only answer my question, but then also complain about having to help me. Clearly, it's an sizable inconvenience if you are willing to invest even more time to continue putting me down after the answer has been given.

Again, thanks for the answer.

I am not an expert with all of this but I do have some experience with flashing roms and factory images, sideloading, unrooting and all that fun stuff. This is my first motorola phone so in this case I am a noob. I have read through every single page of this forum so if I have missed it, I do apoligize. I have the pure edition xt 1095 and use on tmobile. I unlocked and rooted it. Made the original mistake of trying the update and softbricked. Yea Yea.. I know. Fixed it with multi tool through add and reloaded stock root. From what I see it has to be completely stock. Is there a way to completely revert to stock not rooted and load the update. And from your post here, in my current situation will I be screwed when the official update is pushed out, as that is how it sounds? Please help. Thanks
[X 2014 General] nerotix:
THIS IS FOR XT1092 ONLY! IS THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR BREAKING YOUR DEVICE (EVEN THOUGH CHANGES ARE VERY SLIM).

Backup your modem and fsg first to be sure you can always get your signal etc back.

1. Backup your modem , fsg and pds first to be sure you can always get your signal etc back.

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds of=/sdcard/pds.bin

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/NON-HLOS.bin

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fsg of=/sdcard/fsg.bin

(Use these commands inside a ROOTED adb shell)

adb pull /sdcard/pds.bin

adb pull /sdcard/NON-HLOS.bin

adb pull /sdcard/fsg.bin

(Use these commands in normal adb/fastboot environment)

MAKE SURE U SAVE THESE ON A DIFFERENT LOCATION AS WELL, SO YOU HAVE AN EXTRA BACK UP AND IT'S NOT DELETED BY ACCIDENT!!

2. Turn your XT1092 to a XT1095

Use the tool here to make it a XT1095

http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-2014/development/tool-moto-x-pure-edition-recovery-t2897819

3. Flash AT&T modem

Download the AT&T modem from OP's website(http://www.graffixnyc.com/motox.php)

Put the AT&T modem in your adb/fastboot folder and flash it with the following command:

fastboot flash modem modemname.img

(Use this command in the adb environment. CHANGE MODENNAME.IMG TO THE ACTUALY NAME OF YOUR MODEM FILE)

4. Download Lollipop OTA from OP's website and put it in your adb/fastboot folder.

Start your phone into the recovery. And select "apply update from ADB".

flash the OTA with the following command:

adb sideload zip zipfilename.zip

(This must be done in the normal ADB environment)

5. After the flash is complete, reboot your phone and let it fully boot up(you probably wont have any signal etc, this is fine)

After it's fully booted and done, reboot the phone in fastboot again.

Flash the modem and fsg you backuped in the 1st step with the following command:

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

(Use these command in normal adb/fastboot environment)

6. Reboot the phone after everything is done and voila, you should be able to enjoy some Lollipop on your XT1092.

If you IMEI etc is not there anymore, restore the pds.bin in fastboot.

[MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION] Maybe you can add this to 1st post.

Also credits to [MENTION=396050]kdahri[/MENTION] for showing me the start.

Thanks [MENTION=1865045]godutch[/MENTION] for pointing out to backup the pds, I didnt have to do this so I never knew.

[X 2014 General] nineismine:
Just want to mention that I did the above but used the fsg.mbn thats in the multitool. This left me with baseband Unknown and imei unknown and I still have not been able to find a way to fix it.

I would be very cautious about doing this.
[X 2014 General] beelzebu:
I was going to the same for latin american XT1097, I did myself and is working great no complains so far. You can download system images from motofirmware(dot)com.

It should work for any moto X.
[X 2014 General] godutch:
backup pds too!!!!!, it contains your imei and mac addresses, once it's gone, it's gone

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/pds of=/sdcard/pds
[X 2014 General] nerotix:
because u didnt back up your modem, which is explain in the 1st step, else you would have been fine.

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ----------

It might work on other, but I don't have other phones and don't wanna say it works if I can't test it myself.
[X 2014 General] beelzebu:
I did test it on xt1097
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
Once again, this soak test is the official update. Anything that applies to the soak test applies to getting it pushed OTA as it's the exact same file bit for bit.

[X 2014 General] graffixnyc:
Well honestly, in all due respect them being too busy is no excuse not to search and ask for instant gratification. It's entitlement. Also it's not very good etiquette to not search the thread before you ask a question.

Searching takes what a whole 5 seconds and might yield your answer faster than not searching, posting anyway and waiting for a response and getting *****ed at for asking something that has been asked a bunch of times..

Just like they may be busy, I'm busy too.. School full-time, work part-time, father, etc... If people do not search it shows a lack of respect for my time if you ask me. I have never been an advocate of spoon feeding people. I put in the time to read, search and learn.. countless hours I have spent.. many sleepless nights... for the community....people should do the same or quite frankly not mess with their device if they don't have the time to properly search and do the legwork on their own and take the initiative to learn on their own.

Everyone who is Pming me for support.. Please stop...Sorry but I do not reply to PM's for support purposes. It's not me being a jerk but this is how I see it.. I answer your pm, it benefits you and you only.. Then I have like 5 PM's asking me the same thing.. If you ask in the thread it benefits people that may be having the same issue. So if you PM me and do not get a response then that is why. I only really answer PM's from people I know or if it has to do with my moderator duties.. If I wasn't a mod, I would just turn off PM's but I cant..

[X 2014 General] flipperg:
First of all thanks.

Thank you graffixnyc, I was able to apply the OTA fine and everything is working great.

So... my next challenge is - how do I re-root? I've tried applying in all kinds of combinations the files you host (boot, system, recovery); I tried using puresb2014.img to boot and then apply SU; I've tried your boottest.img that you posted. I have SU on in my drawer but can't seem to get it to root. Sometimes I just can't boot, or everything goes haywire and I have to re-flash stock and then apply the OTA again.

Any clues? Or should I just be waiting?

Thanks,

Flipper
[X 2014 General] godutch:
you just swap the stuff after if and of, be sure to keep a copy of your pds some where safe and somewhere in the cloud too
[X 2014 General] tebower:
I appreciate your response and feelings on the issue.

I didn't force anyone to type anything to respond to my question. If people don't want to help, they are free not to. I was attempting to convey that it's pointless to take the time to help, but then still complain. Instead, just don't say anything. And no, I am not going to read every page of this thread. I don't have the time and I refuse. I have more important things to keep updated on. I will, however, be willing to respond to anyone's question, regardless of how many times it has come up before. As I have been helped, I will help. Everyone's time is valuable, and it's not my job to presume to tell them how to spend it. But if they need help, I will help them if I have the information and am able to. That's what a community does.
[X 2014 General] mrvirginia:
what makes you so sure that the soak is the OTA? i've seen reports of it not being a final build from other sources more reputable than yourself. i'm not saying they're right and you're wrong. what i am saying is that until Motorola officially pushes the OTA to our devices, for all customers, there is no 100% guarantee that this is or isn't the final build.

also, waiting is an option. users can choose to wait for it to officially be pushed to their phones. maybe it will fail with the same issues. maybe it won't.

how about we stick to what we factually know now...

not once in my post did i order you to say or not say something.

i believe at the end i asked you kindly to refrain from saying something you don't actually know. you can or can't, your choice.
[X 2014 General] graffixnyc:
I think he is basing it off soak tests of the past. In the past (I know for the first gen version) the 4.4 soak test ended up being the official. Sure, this might not be final but it's pretty damn close. They wouldn't soak test it if it wasn't close. There seem to be some bugs so I'm sure we will see another update to make it final, but it will be a small one.

And you can get the official if you are running the soak test if the build is newer. I ran the soak test on my OG moto x and got updates fine after the soak test was flashed on my phone
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
I am indeed basing it off a very extensive history with motorola phones. I have seen exactly ONE time where the soak ended up not being pushed out OTA...Which isn't exactly a big deal because those in the soak program are going to get an update to the version they're on if it doesn't become the OTA. People who don't like my "opinion" can stop reading it as far as I'm concerned.
[X 2014 General] mrvirginia:
i completely understand this, and agree. this is a more appropriate description than continuing to tell other users that this soak test IS the actual OTA, though. we don't know that. yet. i'm also under the impression that we'll see some last minute changes. i, personally, would rather wait to see if there is another to iron out final bugs.

coming from building the GPE software for the SGS4, there were (if i remember correctly) 2 builds of KitKat before a 3rd final build was officially pushed out. you never know in these situations.
[X 2014 General] graffixnyc:
FYI Root update: Just spoke to chainfire (who I gave the boot img too) and he said:

"not ready yet

some stuff took more time than I thought"

So hopefully soon we will have root back. I guess going to the gun range with him last year at BBQ paid off :P
[X 2014 General] mrvirginia:
i never mentioned not liking your "opinion", either. the last time i checked, an opinion wasn't factual information which is what you were trying to say previously. regardless, i think other users see my point. whether you do or not makes no difference to me.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
HAHAH. Nice. It's good that you early adopters get all the kinks worked out so when my S4 GPE, Moto X GSM 2013, and Nexus 6 (if by some miracle Google ships the damn thing this month) updates come out root will be worked out. :D
[X 2014 General] kylepsp:
So what steps should I do differently if I'm not on AT&T? I'm from the UK so imagine I need an entirely different baseband
[X 2014 General] nineismine:
Im not sure I understand what you are saying here:

earlier I stupidly followed these steps without pulling backups.

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot erase modemst2

fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

After doing this and rebooting my phone boots up fine but has no service, my IMEI says unknown and my baseband says the same. Does anyone know of a way to fix that? I have spent a few hours today trying to figure it out and have come up with nothing so far.

At this point I would entertain paying someone a bit of money to get my phone working again.
[X 2014 General] holtenc:
deleted. It's not even worth it.
[X 2014 General] nerotix:
Sigh.. sorry for responding like this but why do u think you back up your modem, fsg and psd @ the 1st step? for fun? you flash the AT&T modem to make the OTA to be able to be flashed. If you just follow the guide.. I said its for XT1092 Europe, do u think AT&T exists in europe? NO it doesnt.

It's just really annoying ppl asking question that either dont even matter or if you follow the guide there wont be a problem.
[X 2014 General] nineismine:
I know for myself until I messed up my phone earlier I didn't understand what fsg and psd were! :)

For the other guy, in the first couple steps they have you backing up the data that restores your modem. This way you can flash the AT&T modem which is required to perform this OTA. Once you are finished you will restore those files so you can get service. The whole point of flashing the AT&T modem is to trick the Update into allowing you to continue with the update.

**Also one other thing to note**

[IMG="Thread Search"]http://goo.gl/J3kxDb[/IMG]

At the very top of each page of a thread is a little search box that allows you to search the thread rather than all of XDA. Use this box to search for your questions before posting one there are alot of answers in this thread.
[X 2014 General] kylepsp:
Right, that's the bit I didnt get, didn't understand that it was needed to trick the OTA into installing.

And also, I figured like most guides, you back that stuff up incase things go wrong and you need to restore

Thank you so much for the below information! I searched the thread and haven't found the answer for this, I apologize if it has been asked or covered already:

Which step do u mean exactly? The DD command or the adb pull command?

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

Well, if we get info that its released for us, you can just restore the original european firmware which I posted on this thread, just look for it. Then just update the normal way OTA.
[X 2014 General] SamuriHL:
I'm going to give an opinion here. And a very unpopular one. On the 2013 Moto X devices, we saw where people did this kind of thing, flashed backwards to their native version using an older FXZ, and then bricked when taking the OTA for their version. Yes, on unlocked phones. I have no idea at all if the same situation will happen on the X 2014 devices, but, I would urge caution nonetheless. I personally don't recommend people flash versions that aren't made for their particular model for this very reason. Again, this is an opinion based upon previous experiences of many.

Cellular Network State

The biggest issue I'm having since putting this on my Moto X (Pure Edition) is that when I turn on my wi-fi connection, my cellular network state becomes disconnected. My service state for both data and voice say in service and I still have LTE, it's only when I'm connected to WiFi that my cellular service goes out. What happens is that all calls don't ring my phone and just go straight to voice mail. I can still send texts and such through Hangouts, though. Any ideas/solutions?

[MENTION=3537886]graffixnyc[/MENTION]

I am posting because I am a bit confused and think many people are confused by the slinging around of model numbers in this thread.

To start off. I have the PURE Edition (XT1095), I am using it on AT&T for now. I was able to update to this without any problems. I backed up my data, did a full system wipe (SDCard and all) and then copied over the OTA Zip file. I booted up and let the phone settle. I then flashed the OTA and after it settled I wiped the phone again (SDCard and all). My phone has been trouble free running on AT&T as a Pure Edition (XT1095)

The confusion is that the OP states something about the Modem. Why is the AT&T Modem provided when the OTA was meant for the XT1095 (PURE). The AT&T Version of this phone is listed as the (XT1097). There are a few posts people saying that this only works if you are running the AT&T XT1095 with the AT&T Rom. This is incorrect as OTA file itself states TMO, which points to the PURE (XT1095).

I have AT&T LTE connecting and working fine. It is connecting on Band 2.

My current information is:

Baseband: MSM8974BP_4120.176.08.24R,VICTARA_TMO_CUST

System: 22.11.5.victara_tmo.tmo.en.US
