Hi, just realized that my brand new Honor 4x is SIM locked on China Telecom. I can use the slot SIM2 but only wit 2G.

I travel a lot between Germany and China and therefore would like to insert my German T-Mobile LTE SIM in slot one. I get the message "invalid SIM"

Any chance to unlock the sim, bypass the provider restriction?

Thanks!

PS in the meantime I translated the Chinese description which states that it is provider locked :(

So just go this and tried to use odin and CF auto root to root the tablet. the process showed it failed to root the device in odin, and now I can't seem to get it out of odin mode. The tablet won't even turn off completely, it will either reboot into odin mode w/ a yellow triangle stating " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." Or i can get it to reboot into download mode.

I've tried connecting it to Kies, but kies won't detect it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Go to sammobile.com and download the current firmware. (cellular South is the region for usa) . Unzip the download and load that. tar file into Odin and load it into your tablet. You may then need to go into recovery and do a factory reset if it sticks at the Samsung logo for more than 5 minutes

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2351840

I have a new (used) Samsung Galaxy S4 for Verizon running NC5 (which I bought for my gf for Christmas). I rooted it with towelroot, put in permissive mode with SE Linux mode changer, loaded SafeStrap (either 3.72 or 3.71), and then I installed Eclipse S4 TW v4.0.2 ROM (into the system slot, since the ROM slots are not working yet. Then I loaded a bunch of apps, copied stuff over from the older phone, and then got to the last step. This phone is to be used with PagePlus, which is an MVNO that runs on the Verizon network, and to get it to run with the least expensive plan I needed it flashed from 4G/3G to 3G-only.

I paid someone experienced at this flashing to do this and it worked, but it seems that something didn't work and now the messaging app cannot send pictures. At first the phone generated an error saying APN is not defined over and over and over. We tried other messaging apps, and eventually the error message went away, but nothing we tried would allow sending or receiving picture by text. Then we went into Settings -> Network Connections -> More Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names, and found only a setting for VZWINTERNET , which has MMSC "not set" and grayed out, Port "not set" and grayed out, and at the APNs screen there is a plus sign on the top right and it is grayed out, so no new APNs can be added or configured.

So it seems this functionality is something that got snipped out as bloat from the Eclipse ROM. So in this case, unless there is some other fix or some other ROM that will provide the desired functionality (the ability to support picture messaging while flashed to 3G, with nothing else being broken), I would just like to return to the original Galaxy S4 for Verizon code (but still rooted, of course). But unfortunately, I don't have a good backup of the stock ROM image from before I installed SafeStrap.

Please have pity on this poor hapless noob and provide a clear uninstall/restore path, including links to any ROM images or other code needed. I'm totally lost here, and I'd rather not have to just junk this phone and buy a replacement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaiprice6@gmail.com:
Will this work, even if SafeStrap is installed the way that I have it?:

Settings > Accounts > Back Up and Reset > Factory Data Reset > Reset Device > Delete All/Erase Everything.

Or will that only return me to SafeStrap with Eclipse MOD? Or worse, bricked? Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Surge1223:
Honestly, all this for picture messaging? Use hangouts to send pictures or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaiprice6@gmail.com:
Thank you so much for the suggestion, but my gf is even more technology-impaired in regards to cell phones than me, she uses picture messaging, has a VERY low data plan, and I didn't realize that loading Eclipse MOD would break the phone (although obviously I knowingly took that chance). Anyhow, probably later this year she will be moving back to 4G (waiting for a new MVNO to take 4G) and I don't want any bug coming back to bite me on the a** later on. So I am trying to fix this now, hopefully without me having to buy a new one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaiprice6@gmail.com:
Or maybe there will be an "Uninstall Recovery" option from within the SafeStrap recovery mode, and if so that will that work? Leaving me with the original Verizon code and not a brick?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaiprice6@gmail.com:
By the way, I did just try Google Hangouts because none of the messaging apps I have seen seem to be as good as the default one, which is not included in the Eclipse ROM.

But outgoing MMS messages can still not be sent, they timeout while sending, and incoming MMS messages can still not be received, although when APN/MMSC settings are defined within the app they are detected as "available for download"--except they can't then be downloaded. Hangouts says "mobile data is disabled," but it is not and I can get data on the phone--and I disabled the firewall just to be sure.
[Moto G General] danilocps87:

Hey mate,do you know how can i do this for my xt1032?

Thanks and happy holidays :D
[Moto G General] danilocps87:
I quite sure that you can do the same process, just replacing the XT1033 stock 4.4.4 rom with the correct one for XT1032.
[Moto G General] flyjazz:
There is no xt1032 stock 5.0 or 5.0.1 lollipop yet. If you're on the GPE 5.0.1 ,you'll have to wait until Motorola releases a OTA stock update to lollipop for the xt1032 before trying this method. I intend to just wait for the full stock lollipop firmware to be released before considering the idea of flashing back to stock.

I really don't want to have stock lollipop, I just want to do downgrade for stock kitkat to flash roms, Hahaha, thanks!

[Moto G General] danilocps87:
I didn't test this yet, because I'm not sure if this is really downgrading bootloader too (but I think it isn't downgrading it).

What rom were you using before flashing moto 4.4.4? If you did a downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.4, are you still having the stripes bug on display?

Can somebody please help me?

I can't open recovery,i can get to the screen with red triangle,then i press vol+- buttons together,wait 10 seconds press power,

but nothing shows up?

To clear up:I am on 5.0 Moto firmware right now,i have done 3rd party but i didn't do the factory reset,as i was planning on upgrading to 5.0.1

OKAY!

I did it,to enter recovery on lollipop,you have to hold power a few seconds then press up.
[Moto G General] Destr0y3r:
Thanks for the tutorial dude! Just got back to Brazilian KitKat because the GPE Edition didn't have the apps I wanted , it also stopped being commercial as a product in Google Play Devices... So I decided to give this a try with my 1st Gen XT1032 Moto G and to my surprise , it works , just without another SIM Card.

The screen strangely flickers when I installed it...

But when I turned off the screen for 5 minutes to watch some TV and turned it on again everything seemed to work just fine

Props to you and the guys who made the original tutorial :good::fingers-crossed:
[Moto G General] jbanti:
Finally... downgraded to Kiktkat... Thanks dude....

But by Mistekly i flashed motoboot file n gpt both file of original Asian Motorola.. I thought my device will be bricked but miracle it survived... :D:p
[Moto G General] jman1234:
I did the same thing. I'm currently back on 4.4.4 GPE with a custom rom. I think that as long as you never put 4.4.2 back on the phone, the most you'll end up with is a easily fixable soft brick when upgrading or downgrading.
[Moto G General] flyjazz:
I had the same problem. The procedure I used to downgrade from GPE 5.0.1 to GPE 4.4.4 was to flash everything except gpt.bin and motoboot.img as the partition table would stay the same and the bootloader could not be downgraded. When flashing from GPE 4.4.4 to EU Retail 4.4.4,I flashed everything except motoboot.img . Just for something to do,I went ahead and flashed BR Retail 4.4.4 and used recovery to install the OTA 5.0 file to see if it was possible. What I found interesting and of no surprise,was the screen flickering disappeared again after updating to 5.0 . Again,to test the whole process,I reversed the procedure and returned to GPE 5.0.1. Keep in mind that you have to flash the GPE 4.4.4 gpt.bin to get the correct partition table. This time I never got a chance to side load GPE 5.0.1 as it immediately came up as an OTA as soon as I flashed GPE 4.4.4. I hope my experiences show that it is very easy.

I should mention that I was using an XT1032

Update: After returning back to GPE 5.01,I tried resetting the phone as a test and noticed that it fails. To reset now requires mfastboot commands. This problem has been reported by other users. I don't know if it was caused by not sideloading the update as the second time I installed GPE 5.01 I let it update via OTA.

Why in first party you make the downgrade from 5.0.1 without flashing the gpt.bin? arent loli GPE and kk GPE partitions the same? i know you dont flash motoboot because you cant downgrade bootloader but anyways in the second bat file you reflash 4.4.4gpe firmware WITH the motoboot and gpt first, so you are downgrading, and it boots anyways. could you explain please? Thanks in advance.

Screen glitch

When I go to 4.4 gpe or stock i got a screen glitch unless I power off/on the screen, is there any way to solve that?

My moto g is xt1034. I ended staying in 4.4 gpe and going to cm12 build (change the recovery to twrp by mfastboot and flashing the zip by sideload), and still persist de grafic glitch.
[Moto G General] pfufle:
Thank you for the guide. It worked perfectly. I flashed the Asian 4.4.4 [link] in "Second Party" instead of the Brazilian one and the updated to 5.0.2 via manually flashing the OTA [link]. (Flashing the OTA took around 15 minutes after successfully sideloading it). You might want to add these links in the OP for Asian users, I can confirm that it works.

I just have one question. In the "first party", why did we not flash the gpt.bin of 4.4.4 XT1032 in the step 4 itself rather than repeating the same procedure after one successful boot into 4.4.4 and then flashing the gpt.bin in Step 6 ?
[Moto G General] Shimaonari:
Guys, i've successfuly downgraded my GPE 5.0.1 XT1032 to (now Asian) 4.4.4 but looks like i've lost access to recovery (nothing happens when i chose enter recovery from bootloader). So i cannot sideload or enter recovery to go further... After flashing TWRP for stock firmware i still cannot enter recovery, nothing happens and my moto g boots normally... Any ideas?
[Moto G General] tzzeri:
Hi, can I flash just moto 4.4.4 gpt after the 5.0.1 gpt. I just want to be able to install a 4.4.4 recovery, which has less bugs. Also would I need to flash motoboot? And what about factory reset.
[Moto G General] jman1234:
Yep. Can confirm this works for a xt1032 that was converted to GPE 5.0.2 > downgraded to GPE 4.4.4 if you want to go back to Motorola stock.

Just download a 4.4.4 motorola firmware and extract it to the 1033 folder.
[Moto G General] adizz4:
I flashed the AS soak test and rolled back to 4.4.4 with 41.18 bootloader. Now can I flash the official lollipop ota from stock 4.4.4?

AFAIK It shouldn't be an issue as the bl would not get downgraded. But I want to make sure before I go ahead with it.

Or should I wait for the complete stock images.
