I dont have a Samsung mobile, so i paired my Gear S with my Pantech VEGA A-850K. Of course we can't install app to gear directly event we have changed the Build.Pro.

I have downloaded the wgt apps one by one and install it to my Gear S with sbd.exe. So i upload them here in case someone need them (included the sdb.exe and the bat file to install all these apps to your Gear S).

P/S: I think you don't need guide about install .wgt app with sdb.exe. but if you need, then please search the forum or post comment, and i will write a guide later. Thanks for reading.

[Samsung Gear S] ChardC:
You need to use the SDB tool provided in the original post of this thread to install the *.wgt files. You should execute the command via command prompt. If you need more in depth procedure, feel free to ask.

Refer to https://developer.tizen.org/dev-guide/2.2.1/org.tizen.gettingstarted/html/dev_env/commands.htm for more details on the SDB command.

[MENTION=658659]ChardC[/MENTION].....Problem is these are not wgt files, I have looked everywhere in host manager folder and they don't show up. These apps are different in the way they install, I have pushed 30 apps with sdb on many occasions but I am still researching how these get to the watch as I see files and xml etc in host manager folder for the apps but nothing to push them to the watch.

Hi,

This is my app:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.polestar.jetpack

After two months I got to top 5 rank on the keyword "jetpack" using simple steps:

1) great Icon - I tested 4 different icons until i got the best results

2) Keyword - keep it simple and true to the game, google takes into account the number of installs as well so the user has to get what he expects when he reads the description

3) drive traffic - I used a mix of Facebook and Incentive traffic for the first 500 doqnloads

4) good reviews, I did not buy reviews but asked my friends to rate it and it gave me a great start.

I'm having difficulty in getting a new rom on my wizard. Something f**ked up with the last update and i cant seem to get it going. I need to update using the SD card and the problem is the OSimagetool doesn't recognise the nk.nbf file to put on the sd card.

Do i need to convert it to .img so that it will boot??:confused:

Thanks

Very good i need do that, but i do full wipe for test all, you can flash from sd its works too only need copy file in sd when software release.
[Moto Maxx General] flowserver:
I have stock recovery, only I have root, with a simply factory reset I can erase root?

Can I leave boot loader unlocked? Or I need lock the boot loader?
[Moto Maxx General] respider:
you dont need to relock your bootloader

I havent tried to just factory reset, but I saw people trying just this without succcess, because seems like super su modifies some files and after uninstalling supersu they're not the same anymore, so when you try to install the OTA you will get an error since validation for file md5/sha will fail
[Moto Maxx General] Gundabolu SC:
Does anyone have the OTA yet? Or is this just prep for the future?
[Moto Maxx General] respider:
yes, soak test is happening
[Moto Maxx General] feCorrea:
someone could post the Lollipop OTA file here?..
[Moto Maxx General] matheus_sc:
No factory reset dont remove root for me, only this tutorial removes
[Moto Maxx General] danger2u:

Mexico Maxx

Great tutorial, maybe a dumb question, the BR image file works the same on the MX Maxx? Or do I need to download the mexican retail image?

Thanks!
[Moto Maxx General] matheus_sc:
I think should works fine, but motorola said mexican already have soak too so.
[Moto Maxx General] danger2u:
maybe this will help to someone who received Lollipop and wants to share with us the OTA

:)
[Moto Maxx General] Quetzalfp:
Thanks, I know that is coming to Mexico too, but from the tutorial says that we need some files from the brazillian image to return to pure stock before the update, this files works for the mexican devices or I need to download the MX image?
[Moto Maxx General] respider:
probably you just need to replace with mexican images

I'm not sure if recovery/boot/system are all the same, but if you use everything from mexico you should be fine
[Moto Maxx General] Atrix_Lover:
I have 2 questions sorry for my ignorance.

1 is there a link to download the other zip?

2 is this update compatible with the xt1225 Puerto Rico version?
[Moto Maxx General] Quetzalfp:

[Moto Maxx General] TachyonGun:
I edited it as requested. We are sorry for the inconvenience. I posted the link and I had mistaken both devices as one with different localization names, and given this was featured under the Droid Turbo forum I intuitively (and mistakenly) reassured that notion so I accidentally mistook them for synonyms. It won't happen again and please do not think less of us, we have to be aware or review almost every new mod entry for every device that has a forum (well, I try to do that to possible extents), so someone is bound to make a mistake every now and then... and sadly this time it was me. It's on me guys, sorry about the misunderstanding, and I hope no phones were hurt because of this :( Well, given it can only be triggered if you get the Maxx-specific OTA I am sure nobody got problems, but still, very sorry!
[Moto Maxx General] Gundabolu SC:
Please consider pulling your system and boot images for others to try? If you find it easier at least a twrp backup?
[Moto Maxx General] hidea:
I'm assuming you have a Brazilian Moto Maxx? Or did you flash a Brazilian firmware onto a Puerto Rican device?
[Moto Maxx General] danger2u:
i m having the Puerto Rico version of Moto maxx. i flashed the Retail Brasil 4.4.4 then install the ota zip.
[Moto Maxx General] Gundabolu SC:
Many haven't signed up for soak tests so don't have OTA... consider posting either OTA or the TWRP backup? Thanks...
[Moto Maxx General] hidea:
I'm assuming you've successfully signed up for MFN, and accepted into the Soak Test?
[Moto Maxx General] danger2u:
yes i am in MFN but i didn t receive the OTA from there

pm me and i will give u the link
[Moto Maxx General] fsiddique:
I have the PR Moto Maxx as well. Did you use flash a Retail Brazil ROM in TWRP or flash the stock firmware in RSD Lite?
[Moto Maxx General] hidea:
I followed the procedure on OP, and flashed system, boot, and recovery through mfastboot (which is almost like RSDLite, except far less aggravating).
[Moto Maxx General] feCorrea:

This really is the hardest part, can' t you add a working version to your post? There are many versions of mfastboot but many don't work...

[Moto Maxx General] matheus_sc:

[Moto Maxx General] betovanbuuren:
I had stuck in a bootloop the motorola "world" image starts but after that the screen goes off, i've done a factory reset so i don't have any files in my sdcard, any tips how can i flash again 4.4.4. to from there go back to 5.0.2? I can enter in bootloader and recovery mode

Thanks in advance
[Moto Maxx General] hidea:
My guess would be the same as the OP. Through mFastboot (or RSDLite, pick your tool. Although I recommend mfastboot), you should reflash 'System' 'Recovery' and 'Boot'.
[Moto Maxx General] betovanbuuren:
Is there any difference between mfastboot or just fastboot command?
[Moto Maxx General] hidea:
for mfastboot, you would need Motorola's version of fastboot. Essentially, they're both the nearly the same; with the only exception motorola's Fastboot removes some of the file-size limit so you can transfer larger chunks. But I'm a little uncertain actually… I've only been using mfastboot when dealign with Motorola devices.
[Moto Maxx General] betovanbuuren:
mmm ok mfastboot didn't work either, i still having the same behavior, motorola logo screen, then the one with the world, and then the screen goes off and never get into android.

Is there any way to push files to the sdcard via Recovery or bootloader and from them restore with twrp?
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Yes.

http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/development/motomaxx-brasil-lollipop-twrp-backup-t3030292
[Moto Maxx General] betovanbuuren:
Thanks Chazz, but now the question would be: how to push the file into my sdcard? since i am not able to enter to the system...
[Moto Maxx General] matheus_sc:
For use fastboot simple put fastboot, for me works even in Windows 10
[Moto Maxx General] betovanbuuren:
For anyone with bootlop and cleared internal storage, use usb otg and flash twrp recovery, i was able to mount usb and restore from there.

Thanks to everyone that helped me

To avoid flash BR firmware to my Mexican moto maxx, I edit build.prop for change the fingerprint and device model, then I try flash the OTA Brazilian but I can't due to mismatch model (retla -retbr)..

I need flash BR firmware anyway..
[Moto Maxx General] elgringoloco77:
I think I'll just wait till someone post the Mexican ota or they release the final update i don't wanna risk my phone again je
[Moto Maxx General] avathar.noir:
Also, you can try to delete model check in /META-INF/Android/updater-script in zipped firmware.

But I think you get same result, updater-binary also check something.
[Moto Maxx General] matheus_sc:
Any change in buildprop avoid updates
[Moto Maxx General] Bernard84:
My Moto Maxx is from a carrier and has a carrier rom. I just wanna to get rid of it and use a retail rom so I can get the officials ota update from Motorola instead of waiting till the carrier realise their version (to have an idea none of the Motorola had received lollipop from this carrier yet).

Could I just flash the retail kitkat from the stock recovery and them have the retail rom with Motorola seeing it as retail and giving me the ota updates normally as retail?

Anyone else having 10~20 seconds stutters on 5.0.2? Can I downgrade to 4.4? This is really annoying :(
[Moto Maxx General] poncespr:
You can. I have been going back and forth. Just use fastboot and mfastboot to flash your KitKat files back except for gpt.bin.

Btw, most lag issues are resolved with a factory data reset (but not the ones related to the chrome browser.)

1 uninstall Xposed and gravity box

Motorola Moto Maxx — Moto Maxx 5.0.2 - Brickado - Bootloader Bloqueado - Desbloqueio

***RESOLVIDO***

Fala galera...

Estou com um Moto Maxx nas seguintes condiçoes ...

Brickado

Android 5.0.2

Bootloader Bloqueado

Desbloqueio OEM desativado

Depuração USB desativado

Ao ligar o aparelho ele vai direto para a tela de Fastboot e quando seleciono START a tela pisca (aparece rapidamente o logo da motorola como se fosse carregar o sistema) mas quase que instantaneamente volta para a tela de fastboot.

O usuario havia desbloqueado o bootloader e voltou para o KitKat depois atualizou para o lollipop via OTA final

Ai inventou de BLOQUEAR o bootloader com o comando " fastboot oem lock " e dai em diante começaram os problemas.

Tentei desbloquear o bootloader novamente mas sem sucesso

Tentei flashear a ROM KitKat mas sem sucesso

Alguem tem alguma dica ou sugestao ou quem sabe a solução para este problema?

***RESOLVIDO***
[Moto Maxx General] Markweiser:
