Has the TWRP issue been fixed? I downloaded and installed today and got the same result again...as AngryManMLS put it "oddly enough it doesn't take over as my recovery after installing it". AngryManMLS did something to overcome the issue but his explanation is vague. Please advise.

Here David use this Twrp 2.8.1.0 selinux ext4, Backup whatever you need off of your Sero onto an sdcard AND your rom gapps etc .. :good:

Backup everyyyything you need off of the main storage primary internal sdcard root to external sdcard storage first k pics files backups music roms gapps whatever- Do this with your PC or if you must with your current twrp recovery (also Place a copy the new recovery onto your extrenal sdcard but you can keep a copy on your internal also for now too)

:p

lFlash the new recovery and reboot into recovery ,Format it factory wipe reset & THEN proceed to go advanced wipe Format the Data partition w/EXT4 & format data /media (internal storage) WIPE/FORMAT DATA with ext4 filesystem as well. Make sure system and cache are both standard ext4 still,format them as well. Wipe dalvik , And reboot into recovery to initialize your parts. ..

:D

Go to your twrp file manager and copy your rom + gapps to your internal sdcard one by one.. If there is anything else you would like to copy to it such as tibackup update zip you made prvious okay but only stuff you intend to flash is necessary now anything else can be moved or copied where you need them using a file manager app

:cyclops:

After flashing of Rom + Gapps is complete reboot , First boot will take about ten minutes.. ^Actually it boots pretty Quickly the starting apps screen is what the wait is about

:fingers-crossed:

Enjoy, give thanks.

Meticulous you should do this in f2fs format though for sero it is muuuuch faster . I initially thought data and data/media being on f2fs but system and caches on ext4 would work fine for some speed increase+ ,And cm12 had a commit beginning opf this year for f2fs as well buuuuut

It Didn't.

Huge Buzzhill too dude.

- EDIT- Get about 19-20k with standard ext4 system , Attached screenies of an all f2fs sero 7 pro running 'another lp 470 rom' one at stock one tuned & overclocked

P.S. It's not a Nexus 7 just same hardware, that is dfntly my sero 7 pro

Tried flashing the 8/1 build and flashed open gapps for 5.1(got a warning saying gapps were already installed, still said successful) but the rom won't get past the starting apps screen. Any ideas? Been 20mins.
[Hisense Sero 7 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Ot] lichan:
Sounds like you may not have wiped everything fully, if it said Gapps were already installed. Try again and wipe everything for a new ROM install. There may be a specific option for this depending on which Recovery you have installed.

I'm using TWRP 2.0.8.1(I think). Tried multiple times full wiping. Still won't get past starting apps. The gapps error was because I forgot to do a factory reset.

(SOLVED) Play Store Crashes when text is entered in search

Great work on this rom, Meticulus!

Anyone else experiencing (or better yet, solved) the following issue? On the latest build (using the recommended version of GAPPS), searching for certain phrases cause the google play store to crash with the error, "unfortunately google play store has stopped." For example, if I begin entering "AM" (as in "Amazon") or "WU," Google play store will crash.

I've tried installing a different keyboard, turning off auto-correct, and clearing data/cache for google play store and google services. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

EDIT: Wiping the Davlink / Cache (in TWRP) solved the issue. Thanks again - excellent work!

I figured why not give calling em a shot. It was a thousand questions and then redirected to their security department then several more questions resulting in them saying "I'm sorry sir we do not even have a code to provide you and we do not allow or support device unlocking or rooting." I was like.. Byatch! What a mess! I should have researched this before buying... I looked it up, saw moto e was rootable and looked no further. Sucked in by the deal. Now I can't even return it. I've had it too long. I'm sure no one is even attempting it anymore. Think I might craigslist it for 40 and get me one to have a little fun with. Oh and not only that Tracfone has a site and under their name it says something like, when you have our phones you have the power. Ha! Straight talk just lost a long time customer. And this phone is just bloated out to the max with Google and Motorola CRAP! If someone out there in this mod world have this phone... Get it!!! Hit it hard! We can use this as a lab rat! I'm sure no one will buy it! Lol
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anonymous9801:
So here's what I would believe, the CDMA version on straight talk is a cdma-v phone.. I assume that means its a Verizon phone, if I had a back up phone I'd be willing to try to root this one using the Verizon one click root app... Does anyone have any thoughts?
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mentalityx:
I would be willing to try it. Tried searching for it but couldnt find it. If you have link to the Verizon 1 click root app Ill try it asap. I just bought it and have a 30 day store warranty. I did try the LG Stump root 1.2 and did not work.

This is not the Verizon 1 click root as I was looking for the same but this is the Sprint/Verizon LG Stump root method I tried.

[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3RL1N:
Is this the Version One Click root you were looking for? This is the updated version.

I found it via this article. Chrome detected the Verizon apk as a virus, but that's probably a false positive. The apk does come from XDA.

Blah blah blah, if you install that, I'm not responsible for nuclear war or bricked phones.

I'd try it tonight, but I need to be up for class/work tomorrow.

I don't have much to lose, although I do love this phone. Right now I use it as a server with VIM via Terminal IDE or as a web server with KSWEB. Although I recently converted an old 1.6GHz N270 Atom netbook to do the same thing, it's much louder and hotter, but way more powerful.

I'm just pissed what StraightTalk did to this phone. It's absolutely amazing, but those bastards had to ruin it.

I haven't been at my desk over the past few days, apparently my teachers think college students do not have lives.

I did some digging on the updated PwnMyMoto root method today and sadly, it's not compatible with 4.4 unless you have an unlocked bootloader. - Aka, we are boned.

Hopefully Sunshine comes up with a root method, I'm sure it'd be somewhat similar to the X 4.4 root, but that's the inexperienced me talking. They actually are based out of the same city I live in, I've thought about donating my E to the cause and seeing if they'd accept it. I had two E's, but just gave one away to someone in need of a phone.

Either way, I am just sitting on my E, so it'd be no loss for me, especially if they returned it. I just didn't like the idea of paying $20 for a BL unlock on a $10 phone...

Maybe I should email them and see what sticks.

If your guy's moto e is the same as the US cellular variant, then you can just unlock your bootloader and flash a custom recovery and get root that way. I mean, I have a CDMA moto e and all that worked for me. I have a custom recovery, root, and a custom kernel.

This is precisely the problem, there's currently no (known) way to unlock the bootloader. The normal unlock through Motorola doesn't work on this variant.

Hey guys, my first post here brings you great news.

For proof, go to imgur and add this to the end of your url.. O0R39av.png

so imgur DOT com/O0R39av.png

I have gained root access on my XT830C using the latest version of KingRoot (4.5.0). This is definitely a tethered root setup, as rebooting causes you to lose the root. Sometimes when attempting to gain root access, some applications like Google Play continently crash when launched. I've encountered some other issues with the media server and the SD card not being read properly. However I honestly believe there is a workaround for this, if we can gain root, then we can find a way to make it permanent.

I'm not very educated in this but I've done my fair share of rooting, I'll keep poking around.

EDIT: I'm attempting to see if I can get BusyBox installed so I can start tethering on Straight Talk's network, I will update you all with my endeavours.

EDIT #2: This method is VERY UNSTABLE. It seems almost impossible to accomplish anything.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doublequestionmark:
You dont need busybox to tether on strait talks network. just install FoxFi

Note about FoxFi: the wifi hotspot does not work so you will have to install pdanet on your computer and use bluetooth tether
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDarknessz0rz:
I run Ubuntu 14.04 LTS as my daily operating system, not windows or Mac OSX.

PDANet doesn't support Linux from what I've noticed.

EDIT:

You can root the phone all you'd like, but you still gotta disable the write protection, hence why I couldn't install BusyBox or modify anything about the system itself...... I guess somebody will have to look for an exploit that disables the write protection.

Thanks

I found it in a blog from April of 2013, the problem is the phone was released in may of 2014. Not sure what has changed or if that method has been patched. still, the main focus is in the trust zone or "anti--trust zone" because they don't trust you to write code or mess with the memory. while they harvest your data and give it to nsa. If that does end up working, it wouldn't be hard to make it universal. I do wish they would stop locking the bootloader or give you the keys to unlock. I bought a kyrocera that was cheap and waterproof but it only functions as an mp3 player because the thing is locked down and they refuse to open it. :crying: htc is nicer but it still sucks that they don't give you tools to do s-off or s-on and either have to exploit it or short it out with paperclips.

DOES the bootloader need to be unlocked to obtain root though?
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ControlHere:
Thats what I'm seeing in every video on how to root it, they all show getting a very long code, going to Motorola website, pasting the code in on there site, then they are emailed a code to unlock the bootloader. However, I am reading several places that folks are getting a "this phone cant be unlocked" type of message. Especially, for a Tracfone. Wish there was an app to break the bootloader and root all at the same time.
