[Windows RT General] deltron30:
Oh trust me I have tried to deal with your support team, not to be rude or anything but they are awful. I called several times trying to resolve this issue and all it comes down to is a repair fee of $100 or more.

I have had one rep tell me they had a point in time they fixed tablets effected by the update for free but the time frame for doing that has expired.

All I asked for was a bootable Image to recover my tablet and your company refused to give it to me, after trouble shooting with your company all it does i boot to the asus logo. It was honestly a waste of money due to i get no support after a software issue bricked the tablet.

All it comes down to is I bought a tablet for $200, windows 8.1 came out the tablet updated and was stuck in a boot loop of recovery mode, when contacting support for a bootable image was told to get it from windows. Then after trouble shooting the tablet is now stuck at asus screen the only response form you guys is a $100 fee to fix it, when it was a software error on your end, and not user error. You can see on here that many user with the same tablet where effected with the same issue.

It looks like somebody posted the recovery files for the Asus Vivo RT in this thread. Perhaps it might help:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torecdude:
Hello XDA,

Im quite sure this has already been asked on the forum but i couldn't find an answer.

I need some advise about my recently rooted Nexus 6. I want to fully enjoy from a custom recovery but i dont want to lose the option of receiving OTA updates to my phone.

What do you guys do so your nexus keeps getting the lastest of Android?

Can i use WugFresh's root toolkit to sideload OTA updates even when i have a custom recovery?

What other ways can i use to update Android?

Thanks,
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebianDog:
No but you could use the tool kit to reload recovery and stock then take your OTA then reroot and reload TWRP.

And you can side load but it is important you understand exactly what you're doing. the kit does nothing more than you can from the command line it just tries to save you from yourself. it can be a help or hindrance. If you don't understand what's going on it will be the latter

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didgeridoohan:
If you've got root and/or custom recovery, since Lollipop you can forget about OTA. And if you're gonna go through the hassle of flashing stock recovery and unrooting to get the OTA, you might as well just flash the latest factory image straight away. Just remember to leave out userdata.img so you can keep your data...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebianDog:
Agreed. OTA is overrated. If I was on T-Mobile or the factory image was not available. I would grab the radio and load what I wanted.

Now I am running the E radio and the i build on VZ

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torecdude:
what do you mean flashing directly?

Can i use Simple recovery switcher to eaisly switch to stock recovery without unrooting and get the OTA update?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
Click the link in my signature for more information on OTA updates. No modifications of any kind to system can be made for an OTA to flash successfully.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torecdude:
Thank you, your thread as helped me alot. But i didnt understand why did you posted OTA files that are flashable with TWRP altough we cant update lollipop with rooted devices?

Guess im going to have to unroot and flash stock recovery to OTA update directly from google or use a pure shamu rom.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livinginkaos:
Updating via OTA on a Nexus is an undesirable method IMO. As mentioned previously, if you download and flash the factory images, you avoid the potential update failures in an OTA from modified stock parameters. As for recovery, you don't need to flash a custom recovery, you can simply boot a custom recovery from the PC using fastboot and having the recovery image of choice in your platform tools.

fastboot boot name_of_recovery_image_here.img

I don't flash from the device any more. Keeps me out of trouble. Being connected to the PC helps remind me to move a copy of my backup to the PC before flashing.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
I put the link to that thread in mine as a quick way for people who are rooted/unlocked and running a custom recovery to find. Those are not the "official" way of updating. They work because someone here put the time in to make them work for unlocked/rooted users. No, you can't use an "official" OTA process if you've altered your device but that method uses TWRP to flash just like you were flashing a custom ROM.

I'm glad my thread has helped you! Since I'm not a developer yet, it is my sole purpose here to help users with anything I can. So a comment like that is very reassuring that I'm on the right path.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NVETHIS:
Stoopid me. Anyway, against better judgement and probably a lack of sleep, I tried CM12 on my AT&T. I'm left with a S5 that isn't working right now. Good thing I have my S4 for a backup :) Anyway, it seemed to have reverted to some sort of stock Recovery. It will boot into the recovery and I can also get it in download mode from powered off. I was trying to use JOdin3 on my MacBook last night to re-flash the stock firmware, but it was not playing nice. I got JOdin3 to recognize the phone, it just wouldn't load anything after clicking start. When I get home this afternoon I'm going to try my Windows 8.1 XenDesktop workstation or my 8.1 Tablet to Odin back to stock firmware. Anyway, hope I can get it back to working....although it's not a huge dissapointment, my Galaxy S6 Edge ships on the 7th :D:D:D

LTE C6606 with Sony 4.4.2?

Following this thread as Sony has announced the release of Lollipop for all Z devices and Tmo remains ridiculously slow in update releases. Original poster had no trouble running Sony's ROM (minus wifi calling which is no big deal for me) but another poster commented that this would render LTE on the phone inoperable. Is this true? I'd really like to hear from the OP as to experience after flashing the ROM.
[HTC Excalibur] malatesta:
Can anyone extract shellres.dll, browsres.dll and outres.dll from the WM6 ROM and post 'em here?

TIA

--Mal
[HTC Excalibur] g-funkster:
I'd love if someone posted the entire rom extract ;) I tried but couldn't get any of the tools around here to extract and image-ify the nb files from the T-Mobile distribution.
[HTC Excalibur] curtislanham:
I tried to extract those files for Malatesta but had no luck. Does anyone know what tools will work with the Excalibur?
[HTC Excalibur] malatesta:
Curses! lol

Yeah there's still a bunch of little things we can take out of WM6 for WM5 devices...hopefully something will be figured out.

And thanks curtislanham for trying too.

Anyone else have any input?
[HTC Excalibur] curtislanham:
I think I have successfully dumped my ROM. I have never done it before. I am using the official WM6 ROM released by T-Mobile on 5/4/07....the contents of the dump folder are 113MB in size.....does this seem reasonable? Malatesta I do have the files you are looking for but am unable to attach them here. If you can give me your email I will send them to you.
[HTC Excalibur] r0p3:
Please can you explain how you did that?

I need the tapres.dll in Windows folder.

Could you please post it (or PM over the board)?

Thanx alot
[HTC Excalibur] curtislanham:
Keep in mind I am new to smartphones and Windows Mobile for that matter. I ran the Dash update posted on T-Mobile's website (Dash_Software_Update_1.22.531.4.exe). I used psdread to create an img file on my hard drive. Then I used prepare_imgfs and view_imgfs to extract the contents of the img file. The only thing is that the directory structure is not intact. Each file that was extracted resides in it's own folder, accompanied by an imageinfo.txt file, and S000, S001, S002. S003 files.
[HTC Excalibur] g-funkster:
Sweet! just go to http://www.rapidshare.de and upload it, and then post the resulting URL here and we'll take it from there. literally! :D
[HTC Excalibur] curtislanham:
I will post it as soon as I get home and post the link here. Rapidshare is blocked here at work.
[HTC Excalibur] malatesta:
Damn.

I can't get those files registered in my system.

They're suppose to be the system icons (for those who are wondering) but my system just hangs after I replace them.

I've tried notsignedoff.cab and regsrvce.exe to no avail (and I don't have regasm.exe to work with).

Hmmm....I think I need to kill off the .dlls first before I replace/sign them but I'm not sure how to do that as they don't show up in my Processes viewer.

Calling g-funk! lol
[HTC Excalibur] curtislanham:
Ok all you hackers and developers, tell me if this is what you have been waiting for......

http://rapidshare.com/files/31884903/T-Mobile_Dash_WM6__Official_Release__ROM_Dump.zip
[HTC Excalibur] r0p3:
I think we had similar ideas :D

The tapres.dll holds the image of the Windows-Flag in the Start-button, which I wanted to change to an apple (for iPhone Homescreens) or a penguin or whatever.

I hope you can get the changed .dll's accepted by the phone.

Just an idea:

With CeleTask you can see what processes use this dll's. Maybe you could kill these processes and then change the .dll.

With my tabres.dll I had no luck because there are six processes which use it and the phone freezes after killing the last of them...:(

BTW: Thx to curtislanham for the work
[HTC Excalibur] malatesta:
indeed we did have the same idea!

Funny thing is I tried CeleTask too (great program) but it only showed .exe files (even the hidden ones) but I couldn't see any .dlls. Searching for a program to bring up the .dlls lead to nowhere.

I know people have gotten this to work on the non-landscape devices, usually without too much hassel. Guess we'll have to wait till some of the more expert people take a gander at the files...

and thanks curtislanham, hopefully now we can start ripping part WM6 and posting it piecemeal, lol.
[HTC Excalibur] g-funkster:
I found a wm6 version of shellres.dll on another site and I was able to overwrite mine on the Q. I didn't try any of the other files. First boot after I overwrote, it worked and my icons for a lot of things changed, many look Great though the IE looks a bit weird against a white background and the messaging icon, I'm no big fan of either.

Note: Upon booting, my Q made a serious of Alert sounds, I pressed the left softkey and was allowed to confirm the first-run alert for the dll.

I tried copying over the version of shellres posted here, but it just would not let me overwrite the new version I already have :(
[HTC Excalibur] g-funkster:
thank you so much!
[HTC Excalibur] r0p3:
When you go in CeleTask to the "Process" Page you'll find your running .exe's.

Simply "click" on any and you see what dll's this exe is using.

Go through all (also hidden ones) and you have the exe's you have to kill.

Maybe you can overwrite when the dll isn't in use anymore.

But when I read g-funkster's post I am sure there is an easier (and also "cleaner") way to get the dll's changed.

I believe the answers might already be found here in another (PPC)-forum/wiki and our issue is just "noob-stuff" :D
[HTC Excalibur] malatesta:
I take it it's the one from a certain Chinese site like PxDx...? B/c I have that one but haven't tried it (I thought there was a warning about using it on landscape devices). If not, could you post it here?

Also, I assume besides the initial boot up alert/sounds it runs fine now?

[b/]r0p3[/b], good to know...next time I might try that, although I need a day to recover from all the hard-resets, lol.
[HTC Excalibur] g-funkster:
Yep, that's the site

lol you listen to those guys?! yes that was the site, those ppl don't make sense most of the time so, meh, Sprite Backup if anything.

See the attached images, the majority of icons are improved, for instance, the non-icon icon (see the AE.png for Internet Explorer) is much prettier and the majority of icons for everything else are nice.

But yeah, the icon for IE is off, or maybe I'm picky. you be the judge. Also, I can't seem to get rid of the shellres once its installed. And yes, it works fine after the alerts and confirm.
[HTC Excalibur] malatesta:
lol, guess I shouldn't listen to them! I was just worried. Then again I had to hard-reset numerous times myself soo...

I put a post up at ppcgeeks about this for others. I like the look a lot better, plus it's simple to do.

Full deployment has started for US Retail, Brazil Retail and Rogers in Canada.

UPDATE [06-09-2015]

"I wanted to give a quick update on where we are with the Lollipop upgrades for the 2013 Moto X (1st Gen) devices.

We have started full soak testing in France and Germany retail this week with the expectation of full deployment next week if all goes well.

In addition, we have addressed an issue we found in a previous soak test and should start full soak testing in the US and Brazil for retail later this week. If all goes well, full deployment can happen the following week.

There were some questions about support for Lollipop upgrades from our carrier channels. We are in a number of the carrier labs now so we don't anticipate issues in getting the upgrades deployed. As you guys know.... the carrier channels typically take longer.﻿

UPDATE: If all goes well with the soak testing this week we expect to start deployment for 2013 Moto X (1st gen) in India next week.﻿"

[Moto X General] Maximinus I:

[Moto X General] alresave:
Do you mean those who installed 5.0.2 test drive?

I don't think Motorola would leave the official MFN testers on an incomplete test drive version, furthermore it makes sense to use the same testers to test 5.1, so as soon as those users get 5.1 it will leak and those who sideloaded 5.0.2 will have the upgrade.

Otherwise, it would be as easy as return to 4.4.4 temporary (skipping gpt and motoboot) and sideload the 5.1 upgrade, not big deal.

No matter what, the situation is not to feel bad about them, maybe they'll even get the upgrade before you do.

[Moto X General] scryan:
Have you even used it?

I'm not saying Moto did or did not fix anything, but so many people keep saying "Ohhh its version XXXX which has XXXX bug!"

1.) We don't run AOSP

2.) When google updates android, all of those changes are published. 5.1 is NOT a full re-write, sections of code are fixed. These fixes are published and if moto REALLY felt like it they could apply all the same code changes to a 5.0.1 base... At that point what is "version number" is is kinda semantics....

Moto started work on 5.0.2, so that is what their build is called, there is no reason they cannot include the already published bug fixes from later versions of android so they they can release their tested a developed build rather then throwing everything away and starting with a new base every time google updates.

Just some notes on my expierence "installing this" from twrp

This thing has a lot of very very long pauses.... After the restore it hung on the white circle M screen for about 45 seconds, never seen it hang that long but then it move forward and hung on the moto splash screen for what also seemed an excessively long time. After that the screen went completely black for roughly 45 seconds and then it started building apps, which of course took forever.

This is not complaining as for the 5 seconds i been on lp now everything seems to work just wanted to let all those in here who are thinking to load it from the twrp backup be patient everything seems to take much longer then a "normal" rom restore. Will report back on how its working and all as i use the new rom.

Update the circle/home button doesnt seem to be working

Update2: Most of the basic settings seem to work. Here is what I had issues with:

Emergency alerts on my phone causes settings to FC

As noted above home button doesnt work

When you pulldown the screen for notifications there is a status of things like wifi and such but no toggles or quick settings option

The default TTS is set to moto which is not valid for me in USA has to toggle to google tts

Power Toggles doesnt seem to work at all (market app)

As noted by others the proximity sensor does not seem to work to wake phone for AD

Twist for camera doesnt seem to be working at all

Overall though so far a surprisingly good expierence

It is ota updated system and boot. I always modify ota's for not touch my modem and bootloader. That's why I uploaded it, people change their firmware to Brazil retail and apply ota. Then they have no other change to wait a working sbf for downgrade to original firmware.

[Moto X General] Saythis:
The zip file he uploaded contains image files for a BACKUP of Official 5.1. This means you must extract the image files and put them into the TWRP restore folder to use it. It will not flash in TWRP because there is no install script for it. It's simply a backup install of official 5.1 that must be restored using TWRP.

I did, and it works, but it takes a lot to load the first time, 45 seconds my ass, it was like 10 min.
