help

hello,i am somewhat new to these things but surely i can do it with detailed steps(thanks for those)

so here is the thing,i bought Moto G2 from amazon last month and my mobile has these details

System Version:-

21.11.23.titan_retuglb.retuglb.en.US retus

Build Number- KXB21.85-23

i am bored with KitKat ..

a few ques:-

After this tricky update will i be eligible for future updates too?

Can i root after the Lolipop update?

WIl this method format my mobile?

Thanks.

(sry for newbie type ques :D )
[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
You will get updates. You can Root, however I do not think there is a stable root yet. If you unlock your boot loader it will format, if you already unlocked your boot loader then you will not loose your data.
[G 2014 General] kkriop:
Its fine w/o root..as far as i am getiing lollipop experience.. My bootloader is unlcoked..will do the thing and post ..thanks again
[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
No problem
[G 2014 General] kkriop:
downgrade complete now the issue is when i check System Updates it doesnt pick up Lollipop update:(

and these manual update links doesnt open :( is there any mirror link?? :(:(:crying:
[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
Do you mean you cannot download from mega?

Which one you need I'll put it in my Dropbox and pm you
[G 2014 General] kkriop:
The two from mega (first two) third one is already on dropbox so not a prob for that..

Thank u very much
[G 2014 General] CrazyGenio:
so is safe to install ota updates with bootloader unlocked?
[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
Yes an unlocked boot loader has no effect on anything except the abity to flash a custom recovery. If your unlocked and have it all stock, then you should be good
[G 2014 General] kkriop:
Thanks, successfully upgraded the other day,

Is there any stable root process for this?
[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
Yes but I'm on the next update 22.21.28 so not sure on that one
[G 2014 General] AOforever1:
Hello Android The Greek,

First of all, thank you for all your attention and effort in helping the XDA forum members.

Questions:

Will manually updating to Lollipop on my XT1063 affect official future updates from Motorola?

When Lollipop 5.0.2 officially releases OTA from Motorola, will their update be any different from the files you provided here? (I assume the answer is yes, but they will have bug fixes maybe?)
[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
Yes if you manually update you will still get otas. The 5.0.2 is already posted in the op.
[G 2014 General] KrlzGmz:
Is there any official OTA to go straight to 22.21.28 from 21.11.17 or 21.11.23?
[G 2014 General] Android The Greek:
There might be now an update from 21.11.23 to 22.21.28, but I got the 22.21.28 update through 5.0.1 so I did not go that route
[G 2014 General] KrlzGmz:
One last question, there's no download link for the last 22.21.28 OTA on the other thread here, so I assume you simply got the official update literally Over The Air, correct? And thank you for answering my silly questions. :silly:
[G 2014 General] Caioeduardoo:
Can you please tell me where you have downloaded the rom ?
[G 2014 General] cyrilooo:
Hi,

Thank you very much for the step by step guide.

I did it and it seems to work.

I only have one problem. The android icon of the upper right image does nothing when I clic it. (this is not a cap of my phone but an image from the web).

Any idea ?

Also what are the OTAs steps for ?

General though I forgot to add if that project could be real, it would teach Samsung and att a great lesson and someone would sell these parts and make money out of them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] holywhitebread:
Sounds like it's more trouble than it's worth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xgm541:
It's not like a car where you can unscrew a few screws and exchange the part for a new one. This device has thousands of microscopic soldered components, so unless you have very advanced technology, you are not going to replace core components.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] xlr8shun:
I see something like this happening for laptops first.. and the reason they don't do it for them now (with very few exceptions) is because most everything is integrated into the mainboard.

Have you ever tried to solder an smd resistor onto a pcb with just your basic general use soldering iron? It's damn near impossible without putting too much heat on the resistor or soldering the pad next to it also.

Everything is so tiny and cramped in laptops, imagine how much more tight things get in a cell phone. There was one (or maybe a couple) mfgrs that are doing plug and play build a phone. Think hi tec Legos :) but in general. I gonna guess that the phone would have to be designed for this from the ground up.

Good thought.. but probably a few years ahead of its time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] UniX1rm:
Thanks for your insight. I was asking because I have done a lot of reverse engineering and a little 3D printing. I have seen couple of project Ara videos and it doesn't seem impossible.

I have a note 3 that I use for testing. I will play around with it and some other components. If I had any luck to start with, it would be a mini step forward
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] imnoob55:
At best what you might find is some internal only interface like jtag or something that you can modify what's loaded on the eeprom and spi flash. Really big if on that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lloway21:
Okay, so i'm usually pretty good at these things but last night I soft bricked my daughter's Samsung Galaxy S4 by trying to flash a zip through Mobile Odin (it's been a while). Well now her phone will only go into recovery and download mode. I've tried everything...when I try to flash through TWRP recovery I get a binary update error but when I try to use Odin I get stuck on "setup connection" or fail at "Nand Write". The only thing that was successful was CF-Auto root through Odin. Here's is where it gets crazy, I bought the phone as a gift from a random store and we are using the phone on Simple Mobile's network, but it is a Sprint phone AND the previous owner apparently had it rooted, so it boots as T-Mobile. What do I do??? Please help, this was her Christmas gift and now I feel bad!!! :crying:
[X 2014 Accessories] mrputch:
Hey everyone, im kinda new here so correct me if im doing something wrong.

Now onto the subject, i have my moto x for 2 months now and had a case but i dont really like it, but i want some protection so i looked for other options and came to dbrand. Its quite expensive for a skin (10$ + 5$ for shipping) but maybe its worth it. So maybe one of you guys has experience with dbrand and want to share it. Also i want a screen protector so if anyone has suggestions, they are welcome :)

Thanks a lot for helping me!
[X 2014 Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
Protection from what... scuffs and scratches? Here a skin would be fine.

From drops? Forget it and get a case, or at least a bumper.
[X 2014 Accessories] mrputch:
Yeah fpr scratches mostly, i never ever let a phone drop. Never did it before never gonna happen
[X 2014 Accessories] Pilz:
I have many many dbrand skins and they have top botch customer service. Their skins are also the best fitting ones I have used. I've tried skinomi, slick wraps, and bodyguardz. They ship from Canada and drive across the border to mail the skins via USPS. So that's why IRS more expensive for shipping (usually on $3CAD which is cheaper than 3$USD obviously) there are many threads about their skins, but I recommend you look in the Nexus 6 section because the OP for dbrand is 600+ posts long with many pictures and customer experiences.
[X 2014 Accessories] xnifex:
it's perfect to protect against scratches. I had one on my nexus4 so that i didn't scratch up the glass back & have one on my moto x right now. there's a thread in here that I created that has a couple of pictures from us that have them.
[X 2014 Accessories] ae1990:
not sure if im late on this and you decide yet or not, but i had a wood skin on my n4 that fit excellent, and a brushed aluminum and carbon fiber for my nexus 7 2013 version that fit well and covered the soft touch rubber dimpled back. i purchased one for my moto x 2014 on december 26th, it was my first bad experience with dbrand. it wasnt necessarily bad because of the product or anything, it fit excellent and looks great (i dont like cases either so a skin was more to give me somehing to hold besides the slipper back), but it took for ever to get here, i just recieved it today, January 10th, thats 15 days, i also paid 3 dollars for shipping and it arrived in a lick-and-stick white envelope with a $.48 stamp so not sure where the other 2.62 went, i saw someone mention they drive them across borders but idk about that. the product is great as i mentioned, but expect to wait to get it. i actually ordered a case for it (the light duty unicorn beetle), because i hadnt recieved the skin, and was worried about scuffing or dirtying the back panel (white on my phone), and it arrived before the skin despite being ordered 9 days after ordering the skin lol.
[X 2014 Accessories] mrputch:
Thanks for sharing, i ordered mine a few days ago and they said shipping time is longer than usual, because of fewer orders. (I live in europe so shipping costs are 5$) i hope its worth it, i got the dark wood one
[X 2014 Accessories] Pilz:
That's correct they do drive across the border to ship them. I've had orders take 30+ days but you have to remember that USPS is delivering it SK if it takes forever you can thank them. I do wish they offered faster shipping or at least tracking but I doubt they will.

I made a guide/comparison between all of the skins I've tried so far from dbrand and SlickWraps in the Nexus 6 section. My wife doesn't like skins of her Moto X but I did manage to get her the matte black camera one which she is OK with and it helps prevent scratches to the lens. Check out the pictures and guide I wrote on the skins if you want an idea of what to expect from each company. I've ordered many skins and I have more on the way and I can attest to each companies products and how they work. I've had issues with both companies but both did work to address them.

[LG Optimus G Pro] t3chwizard:
It didn't for me. Are you sure this works on the G Pro?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Crinos512:
That is because the QuickRemote app does not run under ART (which is the default runtime for Lollipop) Unfortunately the IR Blaster on the LG G Pro is propitiatory, in that we can't use any old IR Remote app from the Play Store.

Supposedly we are in line for an official Lollipop upgrade though so there's hope.... hopefully.

No but doesn't seem that different. Figured it was worth a shot

spb backup vs Sprite backup - which is most reliable in restoring backups?

can either cope with Rom upgrades better than the other?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] blcc:
I just use the backup function of SK tool 3.14. It's reliable.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] starfish_001:
I give that a spin - Sprite has been less than perfect for me
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] whenpigfly:
Sprite has a function called Upgrade Mode Restore. It helps to restore a backup file made before the ROM upgrade to the upgraded device as long as the device stays in the same OS.

Spb does not support upgrade mode restore. :cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] starfish_001:
Thanks - I've had a few problems with Sprite on my Hermes - it was always 100% on my Magician

May be worth another look

SKtools looks quite good - but bit slow compression seems very good
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jwzg:
I've been pleased with Sprite on both WM5 and 6. The only file it won't replace is compimeh.dll in WM6 and that is a non-factor in a restore. It does have the device upgrade mode as well as a very easy to use interface.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mccune:
This also happends with SPB Backup, but you can exlude the file from the backup procedure. It seems that the file has something to do with custom dictionary words.

@starfish_001

How about Sunnysoft Backup Manager? There should be someone who makes a review about the latest versions of all backup programs. Since you were wandering what's best why don't you create a test review about backing up your device? :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] asz344:
SPB Backup works better than the Sprite on my tytn,

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Menneisyys:
See my Backup Bible; it's also cross-posted to the General forum here. In there, I've reviewed all the current backup apps.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] starfish_001:

here who can compare both packages ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] geronemo:
So what do you guys recommend.

ive heard that sprite works even after upgrading the ROM, what about spb does that also have this feature??

Pro's and Cons anyone??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kjliew:
Don't bother with ROM upgrade mode. This feature is not guaranteed to work 100%, unless you always stick with official ROM upgrade all the time. And, you don't get too many official ROM upgrade out of the lifetime of the device.

Has anyone tried a magnetic car mount with their nexus 6? Specifically the Mountek nGroove Snap 3 - http://www.amazon.com/Mountek-nGroo...ablets/dp/B00MNXAFQ6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

I used a magnetic mount with my Nexus 5 and loved it. I'm wondering how hard it would be to bend the magnet to work on the n6. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I lost all hope using a magnetic dock with my N6..

If anyone got it to work do share..

Yeah just ordered one today also, can't go wrong with the current price. If it doesn't work will just sell/give it away on craigslist/friends.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ryocho:
Tried it with my old magnet mount, it holds ok with a case on holding the metal back plate between the case and the phone. But doesn't hold firm enough for me to chance it with the phone. But then again it's some generic magnet mount, not a mountek.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] born_fisherman:
I just ordered this yesterday after returning the standard CD mount that uses clamps. The clamps were interfering with the buttons way to much, and I didn't like how off centered the weight was when clamping the phone on the bottom portion of the phone. This is definitely a fail in button placement for this application. Hopefully the magnetic mount will be stellar!

Just tested nGroove 3 with the caseology TPU case and it worked great! Phone locked on and was very secure.

However, I like showing off the nexus logo on the back and don't know if I want to keep the caseology TPU case (using the spigen ultra hybrid currently)... Does anyone have any recommendations on how to place these magnets/plates and show off the nexus logo? I could probably use the Rinke max and put the magents on the both sides of the logo but the case may be too thick.

I was also thinking about sticking some magnets/plates behind the back cover.. does anyone know if there is a warranty seal for the back cover? I looked at the teardown but didn't see anything about the warranty seal.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] born_fisherman:
OP - Just received this mount from Amazon yesterday, and I have to say it's worth it! I have a Nissan Titan and the CD slot is in the perfect spot for a mount like this I also like that the mount doesn't grip the side of the phone and press up against the buttons. I bought it from the Amazon warehouse for $15 and the unit I received looked new. You do have to tighten down the CD slot insert to endure the phone doesn't sag when you place it on the bracket, but once its tight, the phone holds steady and secure on the magnetic steel plate.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] the green man:
[MENTION=2788127]born_fisherman[/MENTION] what case are you using?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] born_fisherman:
Tudia TPU slim case. The steel plate for the magnet fits nice behind the phone with the case on
[Nexus 6 Accessories] the green man:
How do you like the case? I'm thinking about picking one up.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] born_fisherman:
The case is nice. I've used Tudia for a few phones now, and never have an issue with build quality. They fit perfect and keep the phone slim.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] sauerpauer:
Very interested in seeing how this worked. Any updates?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Pithism:
Works great.

I put the large tablet size piece that came with the stand in a case and the magnet does have some flexibility to it so it fits well in the slight curve of a N6 case.

The connection is strong and holds up going through bumps etc.

Worth the buy
[Nexus 6 Accessories] atcjeff:
I assume that if your using a magnetic holder with a steel plate attached to your phone or case, that you are not using a Qi charger. Wouldn't the steel plate would heat up when using wireless charging? I had some problems with my N5 with overheating if my phone was not in the correct place on my Qi charger, the metal in the phone used to attach the N5 to the official nexus charger would get hot.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] iconoclastnet:
I've been trying various magnet mounts and qi chargers hoping to find the right combination of the two. Unfortunately, in order to avoid blocking the qi coil you end up moving the magnet mount further up the back of the phone almost near the bottom of the "M" dimple. Placing a strong magnet near that part of the phone will trigger the screen shutting off "smart cover" style (coming back on again as soon you remove the magnet). I'm beginning to suspect that in order to really get everything (qi, nfc, magnet mount, with the screen on) working together right might require building something a bit more customized.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] shreddintyres:
I personally am also using the mountek snap 3 mount and I have had no issues after affixing the tablet sized metal plate about 2/3 of the way down, ive ordered some extra magnets to improve the hold on the device so i dont have to worry about precisely placing the device on the Mount
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Philip:
Have you tried using Qi charging with the metal plate in place?

My two requirements for my case are that it (1) works with my (Scosche) magnetic mount, and (2) allows Qi charging.

I've only just got my Nexus 6 and I haven't bought a case for it yet. I don't care what case I get, nor what it looks like - I'm only interested in functionality, not aesthetics.
