I'm a Linux Mint user, and I needed to flash back my Moto G 2014 with Motorola's Fastboot. As I haven't seen any topic regarding it here on this forum, I'm doing my job and posting it.

Download:

For Linux

For Mac OS X

Usage: Drop the file to somewhere - it's a good idea to drop on the same folder as the files you're going to flash.

Launch the terminal from where you downloaded it.

If you need, cd to the correct path.

First, turn it executable.

chmod +x linux-fastboot

(keep it named as this so it doesn't conflict with the default fastboot)

And that's it.

The commands now are issued as they always have been. In my computer, however, it acted weirdly if I didn't use it with sudo. So I did.

Example:

sudo ./linux-fastboot devices
sudo ./linux-fastboot flash boot boot.img
sudo ./linux-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

And that's it.
[G 2014 Android Development] iG0tB0lts:
Why not the fast boot you can get from Linux? That's what I use anyway

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
[G 2014 Android Development] smitharro:
Because this command only works on Ubuntu based distro's. Not in Ach, Fedora or another distro.
[G 2014 Android Development] danieliop:
This. And because Motorola's Fastboot is modified so it can flash files bigger than the limit set for the SDK's Fastboot.
[G 2014 Android Development] scryan:
Yeah but in Arch you can pacman -S android-tools if your only looking for adb/fastboot...

However I understand that mfastboot is something different. Where is mfastboot from, how can I know if/when its updated and get the latest version from?
[G 2014 Android Development] smitharro:
I'm not entirely sure but I think the M stands fore 'motorola'. So mfastboot = motorola fastboot.
[G 2014 Android Development] scryan:
Yes, that is true...

However is the mfastboot tool published by Motorola? Google searching has only lead to forum postings such as this, where someone shares the version they have for others to download...

However is there an official motorola development site where they offer these utilities, either as binaries or as source?

Is there a single official location where developers can check for news and or updates on mfastboot, that offers source or binaries for the latest stable&test builds and possibly older versions?

Basically just trying to find where the program is actually officially released, rather then just passed along versions (or if that is even the case).... Most linux utilities will have an official kind of "homebase" .. For instance in the samsung world a lot of flashing is done with odin, who's linux counterpart is heimdall http://glassechidna.com.au/heimdall/

Edit: FOUND IT! ok maybe its well know, but for those like me who didn't... mfastboot is offered by motorola and bundled with the recovery images they offer here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images

Looks like you have to have an account, and request the image, and fastboot will be bundled with it

So that is the official source for the latest version, but I doubt they update too often... and I am sure its OK to use the mfastboot offered here. (I was just interested to know/note the official source, I think its at least semi important)
[G 2014 Android Development] smitharro:
Well, maybe that's what they say. But i used the standard Ubuntu fastboot to restore and relock my device succesfully. All went fine. First I tried mfastboot in Windows 7. That didn't work for me however...
[G 2014 Android Development] scryan:
From digging around it seems a lot of people have had success on linux using regular fastboot, haven't read as many on windows... Not sure if that is coincidence, just the difference between windows users downloading the tools they are told to and linux users checking their repository, or an actual difference between the windows and linux versions.

The difference is allegedly that the mfastboot tool has been modified to work with larger partitions, so it could be possible that it is a case of us passing along old information, that fastboot historically could not handle the larger partition sizes used by motorola, but that as android has grown it has been given this capability... I don't really know, and I am not here to say... Ill probably just use mfastboot because why not.... I just wanted to make sure that if we are posting software we have a link back to the original source, much as is done with rom threads, so that if people want/need they can click through and find the most recent version rather then just finding this thread 2 years from now and only having a static link to a mirror of an outdated version.
[G 2014 Android Development] chili81:
My quick reply is twofold...

1) To thank OP for posting the linux version.

2) To tell Motorola to rot in hell. Why such a hassle... I went to download the stock image and it redirected me to some f'ing g-drive site that I had to request access (and nothing happened). Are you kidding me? After I already had to wait 2 days for them to send me an unlock code for my dev edition which they botched a release on (so their site said it was ineligible).

Thanks again OP - you unblocked me. Please excuse the rant... I just want root - not to waste hours of my life.

got sig errors and saw an error about allocating a certain number of bytes

I ran Android SDK Manager as an Administrator

went to Tool (Preview Channel)

put a checkmark by Android SDK Platform-tools**

put a checkmark by Android SDK Build-tools*

Installed them (double check to make sure they show as "Installed")

Closed out of Android SDK Manager

*version 23 rc2 and **23 rc3

ran flash-all.bat

saw errors about sig files, but this time it flashed successfully (no allocation error)
[G 2014 Android Development] mattia.b89:
Is the use of mfastboot still mandatory?
[G 2014 Android Development] smitharro:
I only used the regular fastboot of the repositories of Ubuntu/Mint. Both on my Moto G 2014 and on my Moto G4 Plus. Both have a smooth CyanogenMod running now!

thank you very much for your feedback!

actually I encounter problems with my surnia (moto E 2015), and I'm trying to understand where is the problem since not even the original ROM solved the issue....!!!!

I flashed it using fastboot from official repo (I'm an Arch Linux user) and no errors were returned but I have to be sure... so I asked for it

[Samsung Gear VR] Screensaver.tv:
Do you guys think that if we buy a Gear VR this year it will work with Note 5? I am considering buying the Nexus 6 now and then next year go all in Note 5 4k display with Gear VR. If we assume that one Gear VR will last a few future Notes I amy go Note 4 Developer Edition. PhoneArena "Samsung tipped prepping a 6" 4K AMOLED display with 700+ppi for next August, just in time for the Note 5" (Can't post links yet)

Whataya guys think?

thx,

riz
[Samsung Gear VR] atuarre:
How do you know that the Note 5 will be 4K? Or are you just assuming?
[Samsung Gear VR] Screensaver.tv:
Just rumors but I believe it will happen... PhoneArena stated "Samsung tipped prepping a 6" 4K AMOLED display with 700+ppi for next August, just in time for the Note 5" (can't post links yet)

So is the advantage of buying a Gear VR over a Oculus is the display can be upgraded, is this Gear VR adjustable to allow future sized/spec'd Notes? At $199 for Gear VR and 3-600 hundred for Notes, it better be BUY ONE Gear VR and have it work on FUTURE Notes RIGHT???
[Samsung Gear VR] joexda75:
No the GEAR VR will only work with Galaxy Note 4 and will not be compatible with Note 5.

The Note 5 will most certainly have a TYPE C-USB plug(so bye bye micro usb)... For 4K display Samsung it is not certain they will be available for next year knowing that beside VR i do not see real use for that density on

a phone.

Also in some other thread it is hinted that Samsung is planning new revisions of this GEAR VR.

Look at the pros section of the gear vr.. No one can be sure but what devices come every 6 months?? Galaxy S and note devices..

Hi guys,

whenever i try to connect my imate kjam (wizard,Qtek 9100,MDA Vario, O2 XDA Mini S, SPV M3000, Cingular 8125, T-Mobile MDA, Dopod 838, VPA compact II etc) to my university's wlan, my pda tells me that it is unable to resolve ip. Um perhaps it says unable to find ip, im not sure, i'll check again this arvo and return with my answer.

My uni claims that their system is pda compliant which makes me think that one of my connection settings are wrong.

Before you flame away, i have searched many many threads for this thread using keywords such as wifi, wlan, unable, ip etc, but was unable to find any solution that i havent tried already. Do feel free to offer your advice.

I have a g4 cid-locked wizard running wm6, though i have experimented with a few other roms, but they all offer the same problem.

If anybody has any suggestions i hope you feel free to flame away or kick me in the bum in the direction of where i might find a solution to this problem. If im lacking any info in this post then do feel free to remind me and i'll edit it later.

Thanks guys

[Note Edge Accessories] misterwal10:
Has anyone heard if anyone is planning on making a replacement battery? I prefer to have one identical to the one that comes with it, instead of a zerolemon, so I don't have to get different cases.

I was thinking something like this one from TrendOn for the note 4.

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jr.Rubedo:
Hi there, I have my Galaxy Gear 1 running NULL_23

But I have the problem that it keeps playing the same ringtones that I set for my iPhone even though I already put my GEAR into MUTE or VIBRATION mode. Its very annoying when I'm in class.

Does your Gear do the same?

I'm trying to see if I upgrade my Gear 1 to TIZEN OS, and it will completely 100% mute in MUTE or VIBRATION mode or not. Because my main function is just answer call and time. However, not sure if the Tizen OS is pairing with iPhone somehow. I remember I read some thread saying that the Tizen OS is able to pair with any phone via bluetooth, but you need to install some 3rd party bluetooth connection so that non Samsung phone can pair with it. However I cant find it again anymore.

If you flash the factory image, it wipes the internal storage. Also, this needs to be moved to the q&a section.

Yes it was necessary for me, but it does wipe everything.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] xmckinzie:
It is definitely necessary if you are going from developer preview. Otherwise you will get a lot of force closes on apps. I would recommend backing up all your items to a PC and use the wipe command. Otherwise...wait for the OTA.

[One (M8) General] rockjames:
Does this require a off
[One (M8) General] supernet2ec2:
Yes it requires S-Off, S-Off enables write to system directory

S-On disables write to system directory.

Technically i did it with S-ON (but i also modified the file on computer), if you want to directly modify it on the device using the listed instructions just make sure your device has S-OFF (you can just ignore this and boot up into recovery, i use TWRP personally) and then from their just update and replace the .index file as well as putting the tether script into your destination of choice. (If thats the case editing on pc is far easier, simple text or notepad or any text editor will do). After you've made sure you've made the neccessary modifications replace/move the index.xml file onto your phones system directory (mount system directory) and follow instructions listed to replace the index.
[One (M8) General] IslandEJ:
Can you please give instructions how to do with S-On, please? And does S-On method require PC use to edit and relocate files? Please let me know ASAP!Thanks!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Accessories] Po0yAn:
Since this beautiful handset tends to be prone to scratches (there are a lot of reports on small scratches which are a rare thing if the glass is Gorilla Glass) because Sony wanted to cut corners for the price and therefore not using a scratch resistance glass for the back nor the front, I recommend every z3c user to use a skin for both sides to apply a better protect for their expensive purchase which also helps with the self cracking issue and also the very sensitive touch response.

[IMG="n"]http://s5.picofile.com/file/8151814200/Screenshot_46_.png[/IMG]

The best of the skins makers I think is dbrand and they just released their awesome product for z3c and z3 as well. They are very customizable to differentiate your device, with great quality and a very easy and precise method to apply and are well priced IMO.

I recommend every Z3C user to apply skins on both glass sides to decrease the worries about cracks and scratches.

Can you point me to a bac tempered k glass protector, I found the Ultimate Shield Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Sony Xperia Z3 Compact for £9.99

So I'm not sure whether to go for a glass on the back too? probably do need a vinyl protector which should make it less slippery.

How thick is your phone now with all the protectors on?

I have always waited a pretty long time(I'm in the US) to get my order from them even after it says it's been released, considering they add $3 for shipping and it comes in an envelope with a stamp it should be faster. Now saying that their skins are very high quality. I think the company is probably 1-3 people and this is a side business so that could be the reason.

I tweeted them yesterday and they said to e-mail but that they were migrating services or something and that their support was backlogged by 3,500 emails.

Seeing all the e-mails above aren't really reassuring though. Wonder what's up.
