[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I was running GPE and softbricked it by accepting the GPE 5.01 OTA update so I flashed back to stock Telus 4.4.4 and took the Telus OTA update to get to 5.02.

No matter what I did, I could not get the GPE 5.01 update on my phone so I decided to just go back to stock because the 5.02 Telus ROM has very little carrier customization.

After running stock Telus 5.02, I don't see much difference between the GPE and non-GPE ROM.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
Can you send me the stock 5.0.2? I have koodo which I believe is a partner with telus so that ROM would work. If not, I have another GPE ROM I can always flash into if it doesn't work.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Even though my phone was purchased from a Koodo dealer, it runs the same ROM as the Telus version.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
That's what I thought, so if I flash to that I can update to 5 OTA? (Thanks for the link BTW)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
After flashing, you will need to boot the phone, log into the Play Store, update all of the Motorola apps, and run the software update from settings.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
Alright, I'll get back to you later. A one and a half hour download doesn't make me that happy though :(
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
So I flashed the 4.4.4 and updated all of my apps and updated to 5. My phone now gets stuck at the bootloader unlocked which I believe means it's soft-bricked because I can still get into fastboot and recovery. I'm going to flash the ROM you sent me so I at least have a working phone.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
It probably won't make a difference but did you flash a different logo to replace the unlocked warning?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
I'm not sure, I just flashed what was in the zip
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Flashing a logo will replace the unlocked bootloader warning.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
Will it leave the bootloader unlocked?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Once unlocked, the bootloader remains unlocked unless you run the fastboot oem lock command.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
Ok, so I flashed the logo on 4.4.4. Should I try updating to 5 now?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Make sure you update the Motorola Apps via the play store before updating.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
Ok, I'll get back to you once I'm done.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
It soft-bricked me and I know for a fact I updated all of the Motorola Apps.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mika_hakkinen:
Long story short, the reason that you coulnd't get the OTA to install properly at first was not only the recovery, but also the fact that your phone was rooted. Unfortunately there's not an easy way to unroot. (unrooting via an app won't do it).

I had the same problem with my rooted phone. After two failed attempts to upgrade, I followed the "restore original firmware guide" that I found in this forum. Then I updated the moto update services app, I got the OTA and it finally installed properly.

If were you, I would flash the original software again carefully and try again. Good luck!
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
The OTA soft-bricked your phone or flashing the logo?

Hopefully, it wasn't the logo. If it was the OTA and you were running a completely stock ROM (no root, no stock apps removed), then I have no idea why that would happen.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
Yes, the OTA soft-bricked it. No root, no stock apps removed. My phone officially hates Android 5.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
Can you link me to the article you used?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
It's weird that everything seems to work on 4.4.4 but OTA bricks it.

What recovery is on your phone before the OTA starts?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mika_hakkinen:
Sure! Here it is
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
The stock recovery is on the phone.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Could you post the 4.4.4 recovery version? I'd like to compare it to mine. Thanks.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
It'll be a bit. I left my phone on that stupid motorola screen and now it's dead.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
KXB21.14-L1.50 is my recovery version.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
That's the same version I have on my Telus xt1032. It's so weird that the OTA soft-bricks your phone.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
I thought it would be the same, I'm still using the 4.4.4 you sent me.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
It may sound crazy but try flashing a US retail 4.4.4 version to see if it makes a difference. I went from GPE to US retail to Telus.

I tried the US retail first because it was the only one I could find until I discovered filefactory.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
Do you have a link to a US one? I need to re-flash anyway so I'll give it a try.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
Should I flash your logo.zip over it too? Actually now that I think of it if you can find an Android 5 .zip I could flash over fastboot than that could work. It was adb sideload causing all pf the problems when I tried lollipop before.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Flash everything, except motoboot which will fail the validation check, boot the phone, then go back a re-flash the stock logo to remove the unlocked warning.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
Question, why do I want to remove the unlocked warning?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Some people don't like seeing it and would rather see the stock moto logo. There's no harm in leaving the unlocked logo on your phone.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
Ok thanks I think I will flash the logo some time :) I'm just waiting for all of the motorola apps to update.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
It's been almost a day and I haven't gotten the system update.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Try moving the date on the phone ahead by a couple of days.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
It's only been about 10 mins but it hasn't worked yet.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
Still not working. Do you know if a version of lollipop I can flash through fastboot?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
Still haven't gotten the update. Like I have said before, if I could get an Android Lollipop rom I could flash through fastboot that would work.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Weird that you haven't received it. I don't know of any way to get it.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
I'll look around for it some time.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
So your system is completely stock Telus 4.4.4 with updated Motorola apps?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
I could only find one ROM for lollipop 5 but it was brazilian some I'm not going to bother with it.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
Stock Retail, not Telus. Motorola apps are updated.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
If you were running completely stock Telus 4.4.4 and you've updated all of the Motorola apps, I could capture the Telus OTA update named Blur_Version.210.12.50.falcon_umts.Telus.en.CA.zip.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HopperPlaysMC:
I'll give it a try. I have a question though. If I don't do the commands fastboot erase cache and fastboot erase userdata will it keep my data without corrupting anything?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I was able to boot into stock recovery and flash the Telus OTA update without wiping my data. My wifi, gmail, ES file explorer, Root Explorer, and wifi settings were still there after updating.

You would not flast the OTA capture using fastboot commands. You simply copy it to your internal storage and flash it using stock recovery.

Post by Dagobert on Tue Feb 24, 2015 9:08 pm

I was trying to install a custom rom on my phone yesterday. I made a backup of my system using the phones recovery mode. After that i tried installing the rom, but i was told that i can only install the rom with clock work Mode (CWM) installed on my device. So i installed the CWM and went ahead to install the rom. As it turned out the rom was not compartible with my phone so the phone started bool looping (freezing at manufacture logo). Sensing danger i went back to restore my old operating system using the backup i made earleir only to realize that i couldnt install it. That was because i made the made the backup using the recovery mode of the stock rom and as such CWM could use that backup. Now am stuck with a soft bricked phone.

I have a few choices.

1. Get CWM out of the phone and use the recovery mode of the stock rom to restore my system.

2. Install a compartible custom rom on my phone and take off from there.

Can anyone help me out with a way that i can get back to the recovery mode of my stock rom or better still how to remove clock work mode from the phone.

Or alternatively a custom rom that will work with my phone. Am using a mediatek device and after searching for some time i have realised that there are very few roms out there that actually work with mediatek devices. If anyone can suggest one for me, i would be very grateful.

Mediatek 6572

Viwa max running on android 4.2.2
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
As IDK what kind of backup you made on the "stock" recovery, you should try to flash a compatible ROM for your device.

Have a look at this one: Xperia Honami ROM For all Mediatek 6572.

But you need to boot into the custom recovery for flashing it.

Next time create the backup with CWM or TWRP recovery. Then you can restore it in the corresponding recovery again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Pellisco:
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-i337M (Canadian Rogers Version), tripping the KNOX Warranty Void (go figure -_-). Now I am wanting to go back to stock, so I can download Android Lollipop 5.0.1 when it comes out for my phone.

I have downloaded the stock rom for my phone from SamMobile.com, which is the Canadian Version of my phone, but I didn't download the correct version, like my Baseband version is I337MVLUFNC1 but I downloaded an updated version that is I337MVLUFNI2. Should this cause any problems? Or do I have to install the stock rom with the same Baseband Version?

As well, if I install the Baseband Version of I337MVLUFNI2, will it still allow me to install updates from Kies or from the download update section in my settings?

Thanks for the help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
You'll probably be glad you did flash the latest as updates tend to be sequential now. If you didn't have the latest the update may not work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Pellisco:
Ah alright, so I shouldn't have any problems with installing an updated version of software for my phone.

I'll still be able to update straight from the phone? Or will I need to use Kies to download the updates?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Straight from the phone should work. I never liked or trusted kies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Pellisco:
Alright. I'll probably end up doing this tonight.

I also guess that there hasn't been a solution for voiding the warranty with KNOX, I have read up on that and haven't seen any progress...

So here is the story:

First I ordered 2 screen protectors and a slim matte case from xtremeguard for my N6, and received all 3 for the N5.

Then I ordered a zagg glass protector, also received one for the N5.

And today the third occurrence happened, this time with slickwraps. This one is the most understandable as I ordered 1 nexus 6 skin, and 1 nexus 5 skin, but received both designs for the N5.

I dont really care about the mistakes as so far all the companies have been great about making it right, and right away. I am just curious if anyone else had similar luck.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Packet 3:
Hi everyone, :D

just want to know, for the VueFlo Function, is it very sensitive to slight and mild tilts? eg if you tilt the device slowly to the sides or up and down in IE, does the screen/page move? :)

If it is, I plan to make an app/software for it in the future :)

So interested in Athena but sadly, it's not available in Aussie yet. :mad:
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] shockboy2000:
its pretty sensitive, only need to tilt a few degree up down left or right. trick is when to turn it on, since all movements are relative to the orientation of the device when vueflow is activated.

i find it just a gimmick for web browsing

the most obvious application would b an arcade game navigating a ball around a maze or something

or a dodgy electronic attitude indicator for an aircraft :)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Packet 3:
Ok. Thanks for that quick reply. :)

Electronic Attitude Indicator: That's the app I wanted to make. :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eagle 1:
The sensitivity can be adjusted to low or high and several points in between. Goto settings and VueFlo to adjust sensitivity.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] LTxda:
Yes, it's a nice little addon to the device. I use it when I am browsing long pages or am spending a lot of time online, etc.

Wish there was a way to customize it and allow it to interact with other applications. It would be ideal for there to be a settings area where you see a list of installed applications and a check box next to each. Then if you check the box next to Word for example, you could use it with that application. I wonder if it just emulates the directional keys and if so if this can be adapted as an alternate input method. Instead of using the joystick, just write a wrapper that will accept input from Vueflow.

The Vuoflo is no different in principle to the N95's accellerometer or the Iphone's auto rotate hardware. It could be used for anything involving d-pad movement (search for NOKMOTE or ROTATEME on Youtube and you'll see what I mean).

It seems that HTC have put a lot of effort into making this hardware un-tappable. Either that or developers aren't interested in developing for it. The possibilities are great though.

I thought I'd post here my (and the people who helped me) progress on porting MultiROM to the HTC Nexus 9.

Contributors (so far, tell me if I miss anyone)

@Bogdacutu for his port of MultiROM on the Shield Tablet (The arm stuff)

@USBhost for testing as well as helping with the patch (patch is still WIP, more on this later)

@Tasssadar for MultiROM all together

@Unjustified Dev for his influence

Progress

Working: Multirom TWRP has been successfully compiled for flounder and has working ADB and MTP.

Partially Working WIP: MultiROM boot selector source has been ported to work with arm64. The multirom boot selector compiles for flounder in zip format and launches at device boot. However, touch does not work and there is no ADB at the moment.

Not Working WIP: The kexec hardboot patch currently does not work so the Nexus 9 is currently unable to boot another ROM other than the primary one.

Source

All sources can be found here (I know some of them may not work and may be a little messy but this is still a work in progress)

I compile this with the CyanogenMod Device Tree. Instructionsfor building multirom can be found on the multirom wiki found here
