Aww man, the autofocus thing would be handy but well, macro shots are little important to me and as for dedicated camera, I don't have one on me right now but looking at what some people have taken, I doubt I'll be complaining about it for now. If it beats my wizard, I'm sold.

Well some of the sellers don't reveal the serials...at least I've had no luck and mind you, I'm trying to score one for under 100 - because I can't just spend and spend (have one wizard housing and silicone case on the way). Based on the fact that all these M3100s/V1605 are supposed to be under warranty, a walk into Orange/Vodafone should resolve such issues, However one thing I am hesitant about is how do I register the phone under my name once I acquire it?

Also does the GPS in the radio chip stand any chance of working? I've seen the the engineering thread and based on the pin setup (the fact that pins are tied to ground and such to disable the GPS portion) of the hermes, it doesn't sound practical but on the other hand I've seen one or two odd posts that it is only a crippled antenna.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] leo-chan:
Buy it already!

Got my v1605 for 175 quids, sim-free.

I wouldn't bother too much about the GPS hype, it isn't worth the trouble.. No screen alignment issues for me. Used the stock ROM for a couple of weeks and upgraded to numerous roms since.

Currently on Black v2.0 (WM6) and lovin' it. Yes, the TyTn is indeed a wise choice. I live in an area with full HSDPA coverage and I have since disconnected my ASDL broadband service (HSDPA seems to be wayyyyy faster).

I have push e-mail and other pop-access accounts. This device is indispensable for me as I travel a whole lot.

Cheers from Frankfurt.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] AsGF2MX:
175 from where? I know my price point maybe a little low but since it's eBay, I suppoe there's a chance but I do see some of them who have one bidder raise the price 3 times or more in a row (i.e from 50 pounds to 150) and now that bothers me.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] AsGF2MX:
Now this is an issue, how does one register a change of ownership of the handset? Well I am looking forward to you updating this thread with what info you get and also what did Orange say?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stryker1355:
no reciept

Sorry the ebay seller wasnt kind enough to send me the receipt or he may have "Lost" it. Did follow the steps of loosening screws and the screen alignment issue is much better now
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my1stSmartPhone:
I installed Cyanogen Mod (cm-11-20140504-SNAPSHOT-M6-falcon.zip) on my 1st generation Moto G using TWRP. When I boot into CM, I keep getting the message that "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped". Every time I banish that popup, I get a split second of usage before it pops up again. After some troubleshooting and web searching, I found that I have to revert to CM 10. The details are documented at androidforums.com/threads/windows-mtb-usb-device-driver-error-when-moto-g-running-twrp.901001 and xdaforums.com/chef-central/android/windows-mtb-usb-device-driver-error-t3022946

I haven't searched for CM 10 yet, but I'm scouting out the process to push it to the device. I can't find a way to get ADB to see the device, even after enable USB debugging (www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android and android.stackexchange.com/questions/67249/how-to-enter-usb-debugging-mode-in-cyanogenmod). Given that I only have a split second after banishing each error message, that took forever, but I confirmed that USB debugging is enabled after rebooting.

The only alternative I know to ADB is fastboot. According to xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=702069, it is theoretically possible for fastboot to flash a ROM, but the zip file should contain a data.img and system.img. I checked the CM 11 zip file to see what I can expect from CM 10, and found no such img files.

Given that ADB and fastboot processes don't work for me (at least the the degree that I've explored them), what other options are there for flashing CM 10?

P.S. Does anyone know how to get exit (say) Settings or the browser and get back to the cyanogenmod start page? There is no home button, and web searching refers an icon with 3 bars on the top, which I don't have. I basically have to reboot.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quasar:
This is the wrong forum to post this in. Also, Snapshot M6 is almost a year old. Flash the latest nightly. That will work better. There's no CM10 for this device since it shipped with Android 4.3, so you'd be wasting your time looking for it. Even though systemui is crashing, mtp will still work, so you can transfer files to your phone normally. Also, this should teach you, that it is dangerous to experiment with your phone without a legitimate way out of issues or a backup. :)

As you able to flash a custom rom via custom recovery?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_rnb:
Press and hold power and volume down button together till 10 secs after your phone is turned off. You will go to bootloader menu. Connect it via USB to access fastboot.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my1stSmartPhone:
[MENTION=4673498]audit13[/MENTION]: Re. whether I can flash via custom recovery, the short answer is no. I haven't been able to get CWM working, but with TWRP, I could flash CM 11 if I first push the zip file to /sdcard with the device booted up normally. TWRP has a problem with MTP drivers (seems endemic, from what I've been able to find online), and ADB on my laptop can't see the device when it is running TWRP. I've documented this in the 1st 2 links of paragraph 1 in my original post. Unfortunately, with CM 11 installed, the laptop can't see the device at all, so no push is possible. That is the reason why I was trying to find info on flashing via fastboot in my original post. Please note that I also haven't been able to get TWRP to sideload, probably due to the invisibility of the device to the laptop.

[MENTION=3292512]i_rnb[/MENTION]: I can get into bootloader OK, but my concern is how to use fastboot to flash an OS rather than a recover. According to xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=702069, it is theoretically possible for fastboot to flash a ROM, but the zip file should contain a data.img and system.img. I checked the CM 11 zip file to see what I can expect from CM 10, and found no such img files.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Did you try the latest Philz from here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/falcon/

That's what I used on my xt1032 and it's fine for install ROMs via OTG and internal SD card.

Flashing via fastboot should work as long as you are able to boot into fastboot mode and the proper drivers are installed.

Stock ROMs with have the system.img or data.img files you need where as custom ROMs do not.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quasar:
I'm sorry, but you're misunderstanding/reading the wrong things. You WILL NEVER find CM10 for the Moto G because CM 10 simply never existed for this device. You need to look for issues which are device specific and not just general issues all over the internet. Also, you WILL NEVER find a system.img and data.img in a CM11 zip. Those are only found in the stock ROM meant specifically for flashing via fastboot. All that information can be found by looking around the Moto G XDA forums itself. You'll find a lot of helpful stuff in the General section. You can also push a zip to /sdcard. You need to boot into bootloader and then push via ADB. MTP works on the latest TWRP recovery. So you can transfer it to your phone that way too.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my1stSmartPhone:
I need to become familiar with Philz. Being a newcomer to smartphones, it's not familiar to me. One of the fundamental requirements that I established at the outset of my search for a smartphone was to have the provider of the OS & phone be trustworthy or, failing that, go to open source so that it has the eyes of the world on it. It is also why I seek to be familiar with the source of ROMs, tools, etc. So far, I tried to download to from main sites for CWM, TWRP, and CM 11.

I know, it sounds odd these days, but I'm spoiled from before the internet days, when you can store any personal info you want on electronic organizers that had no connection, wired or wireless, to computers or the internet (which didn't exist). These days, it seems that you have to be very careful if you wish store any personal info on these personal devices. Either that, or carry a paper organizer around for the personal stuff (and I don't want to do that).

Thanks for confirming flashability via fastboot even without system.img and data.img. As it turns out, however, it isn't as promising a way ahead for me because I found out that the reversion back to CM 10 was a mistake (www.reddit.com/r/cyanogenmod/comments/2gvmqu/cm11moto_g_comandroidsystemui_is_crashing_after). The OP meant M10 snapshot, not CM 10. Which is odd, since the Moto G has no M10 snapshot (download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=snapshot&device=falcon). There's no M10 in the names of the nightly snapshots either (though that's less of a concern for me as I don't want to wander into nightly territory until I get the confidence of having my first attempt working).

I'll mull over Philz after some web search. I also distinctly recall backing up the stock Carrier ROM, so perhaps another way out is to find it and go through the details of restoring it.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i_rnb:
1. Boot into Fastboot.

2. Flash TWRP recovery via Fastboot.

3.. Select Recovery from the menu and boot to TWRP recovery.

4. Put the ROM zip in a USB OTG drive.

5. Connect it to your device and mount it from recovery menu.

6. Install the zip via TWRP recovery from USB OTG.

DONE !
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my1stSmartPhone:
This is very odd.

I could not restore from my pre-CyanogenMod backups because when I browse to the date+time-stamped folders, it was empty. However, I had previously copied to contents of at least one date+time-stamped folder to my laptop.

I used fastboot to uprade TWRP from 2.8.3 to 2.8.4 in hopes of getting past the MTP driver problem, which would enable me to copy the files back to the device. Halleluya, it did allow the device to be seen in Windows Explorer. But I didn't need to use the copy on the laptop because moving to 2.8.4 also allowed the backups to be seen on the device.

I gleefully restored the backup. It said "failed", but I rebooted anyway. Unfortunately, the failed restoration was real, and I was still with CyanogenMod. I interrupted the boot process to get back to bootloader.

I reverted back to TWRP 2.8.3, hoping that it would still see the backup. I was hoping that 2.8.3 would properly restore the backup because it was created using 2.8.3. It did indeed see the backup, but the restoration still resulted in "failed", and a reboot still led to the CyanogenMod bootup.

Oddly, CyanogenMod booted properly this time without the repeated systemui popups. It's great! Though I wonder if I somehow affected CyanogenMod with the failed attempts at restoring the stock carrier's ROM. Not that I care right now. CyanogenMod awaits exploration.

But there are a couple of things that I hope someone can comment on. What might cause CyanogenMod to boot properly after upgrading TWRP and reverting back, failing to restore the stock carrier ROM with both versions? Could CyanogenMod now be corrupt? And why won't my backups restore? How can I ensure that I create good backups?

P.S. Thanks to i_rnb for the tip about USB OTG. I did not go that route because I only have the cable that came with the device.

P.P.S. I'm a bit (or rather, quite) unsettled by the randomness with which things work...

Hey, i've been getting this 'status 7' error on my galaxy tab 2 10.1. I tried insatalling omni rom 4.4 but it didnt install the first time. So, i went to the updater-script and then tried to remove the assert part of it using editpad lite but apparently it doesnt have assert written but it did have the get prop part so i removed it but the same problem persists. I hav3 even redownloaded it but still it says some symlinks failed.
[XDA Assist] Heisenberg:
Hi :)

Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. The errors that you've been encountering while attempting to install the ROM are usually caused by the user trying to install a ROM that isn't intended for that device. Where did you find the ROM?

Well i tried to install one of these omni-4.4.4-20150120-p5110-NIGHTLY.zip

But didnt work and so assuming the download probably was wrong i redownloaded and then tried to unzip and then edit the updater-script but it just had no assert line in it. I today tried to flash cm-11-20150209-NIGHTLY-p5110 but that didn't work either. On this occasion it says that i cannot install this ROM over incompatible data or something like that
[XDA Assist] Heisenberg:
Ok, but you haven't answered my other question, I can't help you effectively unless you give the information that I ask for. So, which variant do you have (P5100/P5110/P5113)? Also, did you perform a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) when flashing the ROM? The "cannot install this ROM over incompatible data" suggests that you didn't.

i have a p5110. And i have recently(out of desperation) installed a stock ROM from a link. A ROM with shakatu written on it. M sorry m new here, i dont really know everything about my own situation. But anyway, so the new ROM finally did get installed but since my tab was rooted before, when i try to reboot, it now says "root access missing. Root now?" Do i need to root my tab again?if so then plz tell me how i can do that. Thx for replying again:)
[XDA Assist] Heisenberg:
If you've flashed a stock ROM then yes Toynbee lost root. Just boot into your TWRP recovery again and go directly to the reboot screen and select reboot system, it will ask again if you want to root it, select yes.

Best of luck with your device.

i want to tell you that it's not that easy to change it as you need to move the lcd screen from the one bezel to the other one.

there is glue between the lcd and the bezel so you need to warm it and remove it really carefully.i did the process yesterday on my note 3 and it was a pain in the a$$ so i have to tell you to be carefull before any move you re going to do.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] naviniyer:

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mwbuss8:
I considered doing this, as I was given a note 3 a while back, but the bezel is beat to hell and the screen had a minor crack. I should've replaced both at the same time, but the small crack turned into a large one and needed immediate attention :( It's covered by a case now anyway though, so it's not much of an issue anymore.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] maskerwsk:
I dropped mine a while ago and put some pretty nasty scratches on the bezel.

I ended up sanding all the plastic chrome plating off down to the white plastic underneath.

covered the screen with electrical tape and ran a razor round the edge (so I could get to the front part)

It actually looks really good, I prefer it to the chrome.

I got a cheapo battery cover off ebay aswell in orange and it looks real good,

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Mr.Ultimate:
because you must be either living in the area where your carrier signal is real strong/good, or you dont pay attention to little details, otherwise you're lying :)

I have tried handful of those and other plastic metalized/mirror painted bumpers and what not and all to one had some impact, especially those which had metalized paint/metal/aluminium back cover.

Simple speed test will tell alot when wearing the cover, or just go and keep an eye on your signal strength meter. It sure as hell affects signal.

mine Note 3 is banged up pretty bad around the bezel but instead I just figured it would be more practical getting some slim neat bumpers and call it a day. not only hiding worn and tired bezel but also protecting the screen and back camera optics to some degree :)
