We'll agree to disagree then, but since the 805 handles CDMA quite well for other manufacturers I don't believe Motorola engineers are incompetent enough to require an additional chip (additional cost) for their 805 phones. :rolleyes:

The modem in the 805 has CDMA capabilities... as has many past Snapdrgagons. But unlike past Snapragons which had model variants (a Snapdragon 800 with CDMA, a Snapdragon 800 without CDMA), there's only ONE Snapdragon 805. See models here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualcomm_Snapdragon

Even the 801 had variants with different mobile technologies. But the 805 is truly ALL IN ONE.

http://www.dailytech.com/Snapdragon...pdragon+805+Airs+for+Tablets/article33788.htm

So, I believe you are wrong that an extra chip is being used for CDMA. Everything is there in the Snapdragon 805. Just in the firmware, Motorola has enabled CDMA for the XT1250/XT1254 while locking it down in the XT1225.

Ok now I am at a loss. Trying to flash back to my original firmware and I still get failed to flash the gpt.bin partition. Does anyone have any clue as to why this happens and any idea on how to get passed that? I have tried flashing in RSD Lite and manually fastboot flashing. So some background to where my phone is and how it got there for reference: I started off on Puerto Rico stock firmware, I flashed (successfully) the India TURBO firmware over it and everything works flawlessly but now when I try to flash anything else the gpt.bin fails. I am trying to familiarize myself with the moto firmware flashing and I'd like to flash the Mexican 4.4.4 and then sideload the Lollipop update but for said reasons cannot get on to any other firmware. Thanks in advance for any input or answers anything is helpful. If I'm stuck on this firmware I suppose it's not the worst thing in the world but I would be able to hop around if I please. :silly:
[Moto Maxx General] Steve-x:
You can never downgrade gpt.bin or motoboot, since you flashed 5.x those files are newer then they were in 4.4.4. You will have to skip flashing those files and just flash the other ones.

Note that downgrading and then upgrading via OTA would kill a Moto X 2013. However it is fine to do with a 2014 Moto X and I assume with the Maxx - but I have not tried it myself to confirm.
[Moto Maxx General] xploitnt:
So manually flash everything except gpt.bin and boot.img (I am assuming that's what motoboot is)?

Edit: Flashed all except gpt and bootloader, updated from OTA package, worked like a charm. Thanks!

Brazilian SOAK to India 5.0.2?

I have flashed Brazilian 4.4.4 then OTA 5.0.2 (But have PR maxx initially)

Can i flash India 5.0.2 over it with RDS? Or what have I to do?

Brazilian 5.0.2 is very laggy
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
semi-bricked

Someone messaged me with this issue. Anyone have any suggestions to help?
[Moto Maxx General] Steve-x:
If his bootloader is locked there is absolutely nothing he can do until a full 5.0.2 image is released and leaked for the original provider of his phone. That is the only image he will be able to flash at this point.

He likely has quite the wait on his hands.
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
When the XDA community asked ZTE about unlocking the bootloader or allowing a bootloader unlock, the ZTE PR rep said, "We're listening." It wasn't a "no".

I'm not buying a phone I can't root.

But even if I could root the ZTE Axon 7, I just hate giving up Qi wireless. I can keep my phone yet another year. :)
[Moto Maxx General] fedecape:
I see. Are you running CM or stock?

Also, different topic. I downloaded the final release for Puerto Rico, and when I tried flashing "from SD Card" I got the following error:

E: footer is wrong, E: signature verification failed.

What am I doing wrong? I really don't want to wipe my phone. I've been dirty flashing soaks like this and never had an issue.

Thanks!
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
I'm on CM. Haven't run stock for over a year now.

When you downloaded was it the OTA or was it the file image from a website, like File Factory? Full file image you have to flash via software like ADB.

Marshmallow OTA you can install from the phone as long as you are on pure 5.0.2 stock with no root or custom recovery installed.
[Moto Maxx General] fedecape:
Yes, I got the image from FileFactory. How do I flash with ADB? Is that going to wipe my phone?

I guess it makes sense. The Soak just needed an older Soak, this final release is looking for Lollipop.

Also, how's your battery life with CM? I'm getting around 3h to 3:30h of screen on time with Soak 4.

Thanks
[Moto Maxx General] ImpheOtus:

[Moto Maxx General] fedecape:
Hey Matt,

Just wanted to follow up on this. How do I install it through ADB? Will that wipe my phone?

And lastly, what are your updated thoughts on the Axon 7, now that it's got an unlockable bootloader?

How to Manually Official Firmware on any Motorola Device

http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo-2/general/x-force-how-to-manually-flash-official-t3282077

He wrote it for the Kinzie (Moto X Force) which is the successor to our Quark, but it works for any Motorola phone. It will wipe your phone, but if you have TWRP recovery (and any backup images) you can keep that:

For everything else like camera pictures or Titanium backups, you should transfer all that off to another device (like a PC) via USB cable. Then you can move it back over later.

ZTE had already released the kernel sources for the ZTE Axon 7:

http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-external-link/zte-releases-kernel-source-code-for-the-axon-7/

Now that ZTEUSA has announce a bootloader unlock for US/Canadian phones, devs can jump on this. If all goes well (good sales/lack of complaints by children who don't understand dev work), other ZTE regions may also adopt this policy. A lot of people on the boards right now are complaining about two things -- why isn't this worldwide, why is the warranty voided?

ZTE's bootloader unlock seems to be modeled on Motorola's bootloader unlock. You know Motorola voids the warranty when we unlock the bootloader, and I've gladly done it twice now. My third Moto XT1225 is still in the box as a backup phone and I will gladly void the warranty on that if needed.

MOTOROLA - UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a

This lets people get the custom ROMs, kernels they wish and prevents the OEM from being liable for any damage caused by WTF moments. (This is why it's ludicrous for Verizon to insist the bootloader stay locked down. With voided warranty, there is NO liability! So, Verizon's only reason is they are obtuse control freaks.)

This ZTEUSA move is obviously an experiment. ZTE USA persuaded ZTE parent corporation in China to let them do this. ZTE USA can't tell the other ZTE regions what to do, only ZTE parent corporation can do that. But if it goes well, ZTE may let the other regions also unlock the bootloaders for their phones.

If it doesn't go well, then ZTE will tell ZTE USA to shut it down. NO more unlocked bootloaders! So, let's hope it goes well. All OEMs should allow this!

If I wasn't so enamored with Qi wireless feature, I would snap up an AXON ZTE 7. I know with unlocked bootloader and kernel source already released, TWRP and custom ROMs are probably coming within a month. It's an exciting time for them! The hardware specs are fantastic! (Only lacks Qi wireless.)

This is the phone Lenovo/Motorola should have made this year, instead of the silly "mods" Moto Z series.

Hello i have Motoroloa droid turbo xt1254 verizon Android 5.1 Build SU4TL-49 is this possible to downgrade or flash with stock rom ?
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Short answer: At this time, no. See over in the Droid Turbo forum. Of all the Quarks, Verizon demands Motorola lock down their version, called the Droid Turbo XT1254.

Sunshine team found an exploit that works on SUTL-44, so Verizon then issued SUTL-49 to block that.

Reputedly, Sunshine will soon be updated to work with Verizon SUTL-49.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3445523

----

Also longer answer. You can't download any bootloader... But you can go back to other lower software (like Marshmallow to Kitkat) as long as you skip flashing the gpt.bin (bootloader) part.

Since your bootloader is locked that doesn't help you, since I think that's what you REALLY want to downgrade -- do you can unlock it. ;)

Again, blame Verizon. All other Quarks (XT1225, XT1250) bootloaders can be unlocked for free via code given from Motorola website. Only with the XT1254 do you need the $25 Sunshine exploit.

Right now (August 25, 2016), it only works with Verizon firmware SUTL44, but soon with SUTL-49. It's a miracle as it took Sunshine team a full year November 2014-November 2015) to find the first exploit. After that they were no longer looking, and after that a bunch of people procrastinated, didn't buy the exploit but then RUSHED to take the "security" OTA update (SUTL-49) which blocked that bootloader unlock exploit.

But soon that may be unlocked too.

Hello folks,

Before before doing any sort of stupidity, I´d rather ask for instructions / info here

I have an USA Moto Maxx XT1250, last uptade (march 2016) I got the android, 5.0.2. With the new announcement of an update for the droid turbo (USA) and International moto maxx (india etc,etc) would I be elegible to get an OTA update on my phone [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION] ? Do you think I am not going to be getting the update message? Is it possible to do it using other stock firmware from other devices ?

Cheers
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
Unless your have a custom ROM installed you should get any OTA notifications. But the XT1250 lags severely behind in updates. Last time for Lollipop they were 9 months behind the XT1254.

What carrier are you with? Your profile says Argentina, are you living there?

Is your bootloader unlocked, are you rooted, custom TWRP recovery installed? Or are you still pure stock?

You can install the XT1254 Marshmallow firmware on your XT1250. (Same device, same FCC ID.) But be sure to unlock your bootloader first. If something goes wrong, very easy to recover with an unlocked bootloader. ;)

However, the full firmware for the Marshmallow update has not been released yet for the Droid Turbo, only the OTA which looks for prior installation.

Probably in the next few weeks the full firmware version will be available.

Over in the Droid Turbo forum there's stock OTA UPDATE, as well as a TWRP flashable version, and even a debloated ROM based on Marshmallow for the XT1254.

You would want the debloated ROM by ComputerFreek274, as the first two options probably would require you to already have Verizon Lollipop 5.1 installed.

http://xdaforums.com/droid-turbo/development/computerfreek274mm1-0-android-6-0-1-t3503634

Of course, this means you need unlocked bootloader with TWRP installed. My guide here (below) can help you, if your don't have that already.

http://xdaforums.com/moto-maxx/general/guide-how-to-unlock-moto-maxx-moto-t3455341

Installing that ROM (based on stock Motorola Marshmallow for the XT1254) will prevent you from waiting who knows how long, if the XT1250 ever does get official Marshmallow. When that happens if you want to go to the "official" XT1250 firmware you can always do that.

If you are living in Argentina, and not using Verizon, then you could also flash THIS ROM. It's based on Brazil 6.0.1 XT1225 Marshmallow but has a version of [MENTION=5747496]bhb27[/MENTION] custom kernel so it will run on ANY Quark and uses the radio you already have on your phone. But again, you will need unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed.

This below was written BEFORE Verizon finally released 6.0.1 for the Droid Turbo. It's still very relevant for XT1250!

[Moto Maxx General] Netossauro:
I use my phone in Argentina (Claro is the carrier). I´ve never touched anything on the phone, no bootloader unlocked, no root. I am ok in waiting the next OTA update since I do not want to reset and wipe the phone, I have things installed here and I don´t feel like installing all over again. What I wish to know is if I can force this update. If I donwload a stockfirmware with marshmallow for the 1254 for instance, is it possible to put it the file on the phone and update (like the Asus phones)? Thanks a lot (one more time) for the attention and the will to help
[Moto Maxx General] ChazzMatt:
I haven't heard of any XT1250 updates yet. So, there's nothing to force.

If you put XT1254 Verizon OTA file on your phone, it won't do anything as you don't have XT1254 Verizon firmware installed. Nothing will update. You say you don't want to change firmware -- as that will erase your set-up, which is true.

Because if you were going to do that, then the best option would actually be to install [MENTION=7109882]iiWoodstocK[/MENTION]'s Brazil Motorola Marshmallow ROM with custom kernel. Either way (converting your XT1250 to Verizon firmware to effectively convert it to XT1254, or installing the stock XT1225 ROM with custom kernel to run on XT1254) you would really need to an unlocked bootloader. You could flash the Verizon Lollipop firmware without an unlocked bootloader, to then install Marshmallow OTA -- but if something went wrong there would be hardly any way to recover.

Therefore you will just have to wait until Motorola releases Marshmallow for the XT1250. Might be next year sometime.
[Moto Maxx General] RL_Wells:
I have had the xt1250 for a little over 6 months now on Verizon. It came with 4.4 kit Kat out of the box and I did not unlock bootloader for 1st few days and never received an ota notice, nor have I received one at any time since unlocking (I never have tried flashing the 5.0.2 version) . Until the latest Verizon update and new radio, I haven't had any issues flashing custom roms, stock or cm. In fact, stock Verizon lollipop 5.1 and computerfreeks 5.1 would yield a working Volte. However, for some reason, the latest stock Verizon and Cf's 6.0 along with new radio will not work with my xt1250- the newest radio that will work for me is the. 49.

I'm not sure if this answers any questions but I highly doubt there will be any ota updates specifically for the 1250. Furthermore, unlocking the bootloader is fairly simple (and free for the 1250) via Motorola 's website and the voluminous info provided on this forum.

Edit: the Brazilian version of iiwodstock' s 6.0.1 works beautifully for me on the 1250
