[Amazon Fire Phone] Mrswift91:
This may seem like a n00b question, but how would I extract my functioning system images (3.6.8) to my brick(ed) Fire Phone that was on 3.6.8 but I downgraded to 3.5.0 to try to root and now it won't register to Amazon.

I bought two exactly for this reason but unsure how to get it working.
[Amazon Fire Phone] virx14:
You can not extract software without root and I doubt you could flash it on another phone even if you had it, package has to be signed by amazon. You have to use the official 3.6.8 image. I do not think what you did voids the warranty, what you did looks legal to me, I would chat with them and say what happened. They should either release 3.6.8 image or replace the phone.
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] jrdirecto:
If ever anyone here

knows how to interpolate camera resolution please share your

knowledge guys. Camera interpolation is a process to adjust

the camera resolution into higher than its physical or actual

resolution like for example I have a phone with 8 megapixel

main camera then I interpolate it to 12MP resolution. The

picture of 8MP cam vs the interpolated 12MP might have the

same clarity but different file size, higher resolution means

much higher file size.

Other benefit of camera interpolation could be the details of

the pictures once zoomed, you can still have detailed picture

even after a deep zoom.

On our T2 Ultra, we all want our picture to be taken at full

screen or 16:9 ratio but we cannot use the 13megapixel in

that ratio or full screen instead only at 9MP.

Here's T2 Camera settings

13MP - 4:3 screen ratio

9MP - 16:9 screen ratio

5MP - 4:3

2MP - 16:9

VGA - 4:3

Any possibility guys to interpolate our 13MP XPERIA T2

ULTRA cam to 16MP maybe so that we can have the

following camera settings

16MP (interpolated) - 4:3 screen ratio

13MP - 16:9 screen ratio ( my target)

Etc

Etc.

Anybody?

BIG BIG THANKS!!!
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] rot10:
Yeah, that would be great. I flashed vk700 rom onto vk700 pro and all interpolation gone to real values, from 13mpx to 5mpx. Anyone?
[Sony Xperia T2 Ultra] Grajatyadav:
Bro u are wrong our t2 have 4:3 sensor which take 12 mp picture and if we switch to 16:9 that phone takes that 12 mp 4:3 picture and convert it into a 16:9 picture which will 8 mp so it can't possible what u are saying...

I have read the threads on the latest OTA update for the Pure Edition and I am confused on how to proceed. I am running System Version 22.11.6 Build Number LXE22.39.-6 and have got an OTA for 22.21.11.en.US, but it has failed of course. I am rooted with CF-Auto Root, the version from the middle of November, and have stock recovery.

What I am seeking to do is update to 22.21.11.en.US and not lose my apps or data.

What is the correct procedure for updating? Thanks Guys!!

I was on the first soak test build for lollipop and when the .6 build came out (the one that your on) I couldn't update unless I downgraded to 4.4.4 then re upgraded to lollipop OTA but it took a day for the OTA to show on my phone .....im pretty sure you have to do the same from .6 to .11 so https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images follow the steps on Motorola's website here really simple process just a few commands, but it will wipe your device
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nimper:
Since you're rooted, just run Titanium backup, return to 4.4.4, then apply .6 update and .11 update. (The .11 we have so far is only a delta from .6 -- not the full OTA)

edit: Apparently the full kitkat->lollipop .11 OTA is out there... hooray!
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk80:
Do not use the instructions on Motorola factory images website

That website is missing a subtle command, that will make your OTA fail. I had that problem.

This line is missing.

fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin

The OTA checks for the integrity of the modem and fails otherwise.

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 PM ----------

You can try ADB backup for backing up all your apps and restore after OTA. This way the restore process works even after unrooting.

Questions and Requests

Ok. I have a few questions and requests.

First, this would be my first downgrade I have ever done, do I have to relock the bootloader and/or unroot first?

Second, what are the exact steps and commands in order to downgrade. I know you said they are Motorola's website, but just to be safe, and with the modem command added in, I would feel much better and be appreciative if someone provided that for me.

Third, I am on the US pure edition, which version of 4.4.4. would I need to download from Motorola's website? I've forgotten which version it came with.

Fourth, I was never a soak tester and I am on .6. Why can't I do a direct upgrade to .11 such as what is discussed here?

For whatever reason you can never have been rooted to update your ROM. So i followed the steps below to get back to stock for the update.

Go to http://www.graffixnyc.com/motox.php and grab the 4.4.4 stock image. Extract and place in platforms-tools folder with fastboot.

After downloading the image for your device:

Put your device in fastboot mode.

NOTE: You must use the Motorola fastboot utility to flash (included in the Darwin/, Linux/ or Windows/ directory). Please do NOT use the Android fastboot utility

Follow the flashing steps in the .xml file that was included in the package.

A typical flashing sequence includes all these partitions, but might vary depending on your product - so please use the sequence in the .xml file in your package:

$ fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

$ fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img

$ fastboot reboot-bootloader

$ fastboot flash logo logo.bin

$ fastboot flash boot boot.img

$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

$ fastboot flash system system.img

$ fastboot erase modemst1

$ fastboot erase modemst2

$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn

$ fastboot reboot

You also have the option to erase all the data on your device with

$ fastboot erase userdata

$ fastboot erase cache

Hope this helps. Copied and pasted the commands from Motorola.

[MENTION=5460428]Matthewlawson3[/MENTION]

you can't downgrade the bootloader so omit that step. it won't make the OTA fail.

i'd recommend erasing userdata and cache.

once you do this, you should get the official full OTA that you can check for in the settings menu and apply. good luck.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matthewlawson3:
So motoboot.img is the bootloader? That is the command you don't want me to enter?

I need to type in all the commands in that exact sequence, correct? Where does one enter the fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin in the sequence of commands?

I would prefer not to lose my apps and data if it can be avoided. I do have Titanium Backup and could if need be, but what are the downsides to not erasing usercache and cache?

Thanks for your help on this!!!

I have got the image for 4.4.4 (TMO_21.21.42.victara_tmo.tmo.en.US) from Motorola for the US Pure Edition, through the request process. Can I run these commands using regular fastboot from the android SDK platform-tools folder or must I use fastboot found in the Motorola 4.4.4 image? If I must use Motorola fastboot, what is the process for getting that setup before I go into a command prompt and enter the commands?

If I use the Motorola fastboot can I just copy the needed files into the Windows folder found in the Motorola image folder and then open a command prompt there to enter the commands? Is it that easy? I do not have a mfastboot file in the Windows folder in the image.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matthewlawson3:
After doing some research, I have placed the fastboot.exe from the Motorola image in the Android-SDK platform-tools folder, but before I placed it in there, I renamed it mfastboot.exe, so as not to clash with the android fastboot.exe. When I type in the command prompt "mfastboot," I get a list of commands. Does this indicate everything is working correctly? And if so, when I type in the commands to perform the downgrade will I type in "mfastboot" instead of "fastboot" with every command?

A few weeks ago, my Nexus 5 got the OTA Lollipop 5.0 update. After rooting it using the WugFresh root tool kit, I had some time to mess around in it and it's not that big of an improvement over 4.4.x, IMHO. I am actually enjoying my 4.4.2 ZV6 with the xposed framework way more than the AOSP version of Lollipop. I think the much anticipated Lollipop has had way too much hype and the improvements generally serve Google and Service providers more than the end user. I'm content to wait till our developers get their hands on our official G3 release. Until then, it's all good.

Once there's a complete, 100% working, stable Lollipop ROM for the LS990 I may try it, but at the moment I'm not really inclined to give up all the customization I've made to make MY G3 My OWN. A lot of things I've done just aren't going to work on 5.0 right now. Maybe never. Certainly not without root. 5.0 is just way more locked down than previous versions, greatly limiting the things apps can do.

And the OP is right, I think. A lot of the changes benefit the manufacturers, carriers, and corporate interests more than they do users like us.

I don't see nothing special about 5.0. Am guessing most of it is under the hood. I like the animations but the colors don't do it for me.

I agree. It looks like they really mailed it in. We can complain about the manufacturer overlays like LG Touchwiz, Sense etc., but without some touch up, it's unappealing. Unfortunately there's the bloatware from the carrier. Xposed and the customization modules, or custom. roms from our developers really give it some pop.

What I'm curious about is how this will effect the 5.0 rollout to devices still pending an OTA. Will Motorola halt the update and go directly to 5.0.1? or will they continue to push out 5.0 with 5.0.1 to follow in a month or so?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-G3-D855-...ore-2-5-GHz-16GB-Smartphone-New-/281503074715

It is from a seller called techno.trading.house and they are asking $400 for the 16GB model.

Since this is an international version I am wondering if anyone has had any negative experiences using this model in the USA? Has anyone dealt with this vendor techno.trading.house before? Is 16GB enough for apps as long as I get an SD card for photos and other media?

I will be using it on Cricket mobile. From my research on the web I understand this model does not support 4G LTE in the USA. I think this is OK on Cricket because they throttle you to a maximum of 7 Mbps down which is easily handled on their HSPA+ network.

I bought an LG G2 D802 on eBay which is also an international model and I had a problem of not being able to get any OTA updates and was stuck on Android 4.2.2. Should I expect a similar problem with not getting OTA updates with this model?
