[Moto X Q&A] gullbert:
So....

I think I hard bricked my 1st gen moto x. I was in the process of unlocking the bootloader using motorolla's guide and everything was going fine. i had the "unlock..." (or "unlocked..." i forget what it actually said) showing on my screen and just out of habit, i hit the power button as i put the phone down.

now, nothing.

nothing at all. no recovery mode, no nothing. does anyone have any suggestions? i've tried holding down power and vol down for 5 min. i've tried pushing random buttons. i've tried praying to the motorolla gods.
[Moto X Q&A] cindylike24:
Is your phone the developer edition?
[Moto X Q&A] JulesJam:
Press and hold the volume down button simultaneously with the power button for about 5 seconds then release. Can you get into bootloader mode?
[Moto X Q&A] gullbert:
I've tried that several times. Definitely can't get into bootloader mode.
[Moto X Q&A] sumon511:
plugin to charger.... what do you see
[Moto X Q&A] gullbert:
absolutely nothing.
[Moto X Q&A] Saurabh181994:
Hold the power button as well as both the volume buttons all together.

Does it do?
[Moto X Q&A] sumon511:
in that case,are you sure your charger/data cable is ok? also try connecting it to your computer with cable.do you see any device in computer? if its complete dead,then i see no hope :rolleyes:
[Moto X Q&A] JulesJam:
This sounds like a hardware failure, maybe a battery failure or a charging port failure. Like someone else suggested, try a different charger and see what happens.

Is it still under warranty?
[Moto X Q&A] adity:
His warranty is void unless it's a dev edition
[Moto X Q&A] JulesJam:
Depends on the state - in many states in the US, a manufacturer cannot void a warranty if the product failure/defect has nothing to do with why the manufacturer wants to void the warranty.

Since unlocking a bootloader has nothing to do with a battery failure, in those states where the law is as I stated above, Motorola cannot void the warranty. Now the average Joe may not know this and may not know how to sue Motorola if they won't honor the warranty, but if you do know this and do know how to file a small claims case against Motorola, then you would win in those states.

So it is not across the board true that you void your warranty if you unlock your bootloader and don't have a dev ed. It depends on the state and what is wrong with your phone.
[Moto X Q&A] Younex:
Happened once to my Galaxy Nexus, solved with Odin. I don't know if there's such thing for Motorola devices :/

Odin can reconize the phone when powered off, that's why it worked.

i had no fastboot, recovery or battery icon when plugged to charger
[Moto X Q&A] Lamarrotems:
I had this exact same thing happen today, but I pressed power because the phone was hung there for a minute when I know it takes 1 second.

Nothing, Its like there is no battery it it. Damnit
[Moto X Q&A] JulesJam:
Keep it plugged in, if it is totally drained, it will not turn on for a while until it gets charged to a safe level. Then after awhile on the charger, try to get into bootloader mode.
[Moto X Q&A] Lamarrotems:
Unfortunately I have been charging it for a day now and nothing. I think I need to try that RDS lite fix or moto x flasher tool. Only problem is I don't have a windows computer with admin access, so trying to borrow one.
[Moto X Q&A] Lamarrotems:
Anyone had any experience with RDSLite or MotoFlasher? Haven't been able to get either to work, been trying for a couple hours. Any hlep would be GREATLY Appreciated - I am a poor grad student!
[Moto X Q&A] Travisdroidx2:
That is the first to.e hearing Odin being used on a nexus. That is interesting. I always thought odin was for Samsung only.
[Moto X Q&A] KidJoe:
Samsung made at least one of the past nexus devices. -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galaxy_Nexus
[Moto X Q&A] Travisdroidx2:
Good point. I have the old gnex. I just always used fastboot. Never read about anyone using Odin the whole time I used it. Always learn something new!
[Moto X Q&A] ahaynes42:
Same thing just happened to me. It was displaying blue "unlock..." then just froze. Absolutely nothing, just a black screen. Can't get into any bootloader or recovery. I really hope this phone is not totally screwed now. Any of you guys have any luck?
[Moto X Q&A] whizinc:
Usually that kind of failure doesnt come in the bootloader unlocking procedure.. Sounds like a hardware failure to me, How much battery did you had last time when your phone was working? Hook up your phone to an A/C charger for about 30mins and then disconnect press and hold power button and volume down button for 5 sec and then release and see if you can get in the bootloader of your phone. Good luck
[Moto X Q&A] bobhett:
Any Luck?

Any luck resurrecting your Moto X? The same think just happened to me (hit power button during the Motorola unlocking process). My computer recognizes the Moto X when I connect it via USB and pressing/holding the power button will cycle the USB (Windows recognizes the power down and then the power back up), but fastboot doesn't see the device anymore.

I tried this: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x/general/how-to-resurrecting-bricked-moto-x-t2629057

It seemed promising, but I get errors with qflash.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] mobilehavoc:
This phone has generally been rock solid and I love it. Today the weirdest thing happened. Phone was working great and battery was at 30%. I launched camera to take a picture. I took a picture. Right after the low battery noise came and the popup saying the phone was shutting down due to battery came up. Phone shut down. I powered it back up and it worked fine. Battery continued to go down over time to 14% before I charged it.

Any idea why this happened? Never happened before but its super annoying because I was trying to take some pictures but since it powered off by the time it booted back up and was ready the picture opportunity was gone. I'm wondering if its a problem with the camera app or not. Anybody seen anything similar?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] bteufaula:
Not sure if it was the cause or not but my turbo did that once and it turned out it was the over heat protection. But the phone made a lot of warning heels really loud prior to the shutdown.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] rhcreed:
I've seen it loose sync with the actual battery charge, so it thinks it's %30, but really almost dead.

Here's how I've fixed it;

plug into the turbo charger it came with

press and hold power button till phone powers down

keep holding until you see a battery icon, let go,

it will give a quick vibrate, then the battery icon will show the true charge (may be a few seconds)..

press and hold again for a couple seconds and it will reboot, let it charge till %100

Seems like if you charge it off a weird voltage, it looses the calibration. I've seen people talk about wireless chargers do it, and I've personally seen usb3 ports do it to my phone.

good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XDAUserII:
I am looking to install ClockworkMod (CWM) recovery version 6.0.3.2 on to my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919) as described in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2264637. I tried to install the CWM recovery via the Rom Manager app linked in the thread mentioned, and I got a notification indicating root was required.

So, that is my question - Is root required to install ClockworkMod recovery on to my SGH-M919? Isn't it possible to install the CWM recovery on to my SGH-M919 without having to root my phone by flashing it directly through Odin?

For reference, I have listed the details of my phone below:

Brand/Series/Make: Samsung Galaxy S4

Model Number: SGH-M919

Carrier (Country): T-Mobile (USA)

Android Version: Android 4.4.4

Baseband Version (Firmware/ROM): M919UVUFNK2

Phone Rooted Before?: No
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] canodroid15:
No, but you can flash latest TWRP.tar for your phone in odin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XDAUserII:
Did you mean:

No, as in root IS required in order to install ClockworkMod recovery on to my SGH-M919?

If so, is it possible to install CWM recovery on to my SGH-M919 via Odin flashing without having first to root my phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
Rooting is the lesser of the two evils.

A custom recovery maybe semi functional without root, especially if installing a custom rom that requires changes to files, permissions or build prop edits in order for it to work properly.

Root on the other hand gives you a broad spectrum of functionality allowing you total control of your phone, operating system and access to customize your rom of choice the way you want it.

In this world, you root then you have the option of custom or stock recovery.

And yes, typically you need root to flash CWM recovery.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
You do not need root to flash cwm from a pc (odin). You DO need root to flash it with rom manager or similar app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] OriginalGabriel:
You only need root if you are wanting to flash CWM via ROM Manager, if you're just wanting to flash CWM (in order to flash a new ROM), this is the guide I used: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_jflte#Recovery_Installation
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PanchoPlanet:
Show me the video.

Isn't it some sort of img. file?

Not a MD5 or tar. file?

It sounds complicated for a novice flasher that doesn't understand "root" .

And beware of rom manager. :o

Google it.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
There are tar versions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] XDAUserWork:
I see. Let me ask this, another user mentioned that if you were to flash ClockwordMod recovery in Odin with no root than CWM recovery would not function as needed since it would need some permissions only available if the phone was rooted - is this true? The reason I ask is because it is not mentioned anywhere on the ClockworkMod site that root is required.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] OriginalGabriel:
You wouldn't be able to use apps like ROM Manager, Flashify, etc. to send commands from within Android to CWM without root, as those apps require root; but CWM will work fine if you boot into recovery and run your commands there.

What is it you are looking to do? In all honesty, I don't see the point in installing a custom recovery if you are not also going to root your device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
Not true, it should function as it should
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bobolinko:
Root allows all apps that require root to function! Apps that will allow immediate power down, sms/mms backups, timed reboots, having a simple way to manage (AND NAME BACKUPS) With text that will show date created rather than what the application (like CWM) uses. The date will look odd if you just boot to recovery and ,let CWM assign the filename of the recovery. Rooting affords MANY possibilities that would not be possible without root. It will also, allow you whether knowingly, or unintentionally wiping out the os to become non functional. Root gives you TOTAL controlability. You can make almost any change you want, but wrong moves could render the decice un-usable without first recovering a previous backup, or restoring a completely new factory install. If you're not backed up, be very carefull what you change. Also rogue apps can put you out of business as well since the system will allow any changes to occurr. Rooting removes the rules of anything that controlls the device's operation. It sorta kills all the cops of your phone's system, and makes you God. LOL

In my case, if I were not able to root my decice, I'd most likely go iPhone as 99% of their apps work , like the author says it will. Apple screens and tests each offered app whereas, android is a crapshoot! Hope I answewed your question without scaring you off !!!!!?

Aloha from Hawaii!!!!!

I was updating my m7spr to the latest cm12 nightly, which i've been doing about once a week, and all of a sudden I cannot update apps from the play store or install any apks from my storage. I go to factory reset or uninstall some apps to make some room, and the apps won't uninstall and my recovery, TWRP, is gone. It flashes the TWRP logo and then restarts. I am currently at the bootloader screen unlocked s-on and have been trying to fastboot flash everything i can think of from a cm12 rom zip, a stock sense zip, a twrp recovery zip and img. nothing is working. I have tried to relock my bootloader and run a RUU, from the latest RUU_M7_WL_L50_SENSE60_SPCS_MR_Sprint_WWE_6.23.651.6_Radio_1.01.20.1225_CNV_CNV_SPCS_4.38_003_release_425282_signed_2 to an earlier version Sprint_HTC_One_m7wls_1.29.651.10_RUU and that didn't work either. sat at the htc/ruu screen for a half hour with no result.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] sethchrome45:
Hi guys, I was wondering if i could get some help here before resulting to rma .

I flashed a custom kernel over my custom rom (rom was initially working great before i flashed kernel). But it turned out the kernel i flash was the wrong one for the smp600. I did some research last night and flashed several stock firmwares (..CNH1, ..COB1, ..BMK1, ...) via PDA in ODIN. i managed to install custom recovery (TWRP) and used that to wipe cache and Dalvik - didn't quiet help. I also performed factory reset in both stock and custom recovery, no change. These were the outcome

--Tablet is recognized by pc in download mode only and ODIN works.

--After boot into android there is serious lag, restart after a few seconds and the cycle continues.

--After a while TW settles but the note is not recognizable by pc via USB

--Also instead of the first "Galaxy Note 10.1 2014" that first appears when note is turned on, the whole screen just displays several colored lines as if it were actually broken.

I would really appreciate the time you take off your busy schedule to help me with this, thanks.
[Galaxy S6 General] tcb4:
I know, this is one of those silly little topics that gets thrown around every time a newer faster arm chip comes out, but this is the first time that I personally have ever seen an Arm chip as a threat to intel. When I saw the Galaxy s6 scoring around a 4800 multi-core I stopped and thought to myself, "hey, that looks pretty darn close to my fancy i5." Sure enough, the I5 5200u only scores around a 5280 in the Geekbench 64 bit multi-core benchmark. I understand that this is only possible because the Galaxy S6 has 8 cores, but it's still very impressive what Arm and Samsung were able to achieve using a fraction of the power intel has on hand. Of course I don't think that this chip will take over the market, but if Arm's performance continues increase at the same rate while maintaining the same low power draw, then intel might have some real competition in the laptop space within the near future. Heck, maybe Microsoft will bring back RT but with full app support.

I also know that I didn't account for how much power the GPU was drawing, but I feel as if that wouldn't be the only factor after seeing the issues with Core M.
[Galaxy S6 General] tft:
I doubt they're worried. intel CPUs are wicked fast. i have a 3 year old i7 and it's faster than most of AMDs current gen CPUs.

if Intel is able to apply the same method/engineering they use on CPUs to the mobile platform, i bet it will smoke anything out there. kind of like how intel CPUs kill basically anything AMDs can put out.
[Galaxy S6 General] poweroutlet:
It is important to remember that ultimately the same constraints and limitations will apply to both Intel and ARM CPUs. After all ARM and x86 are just instruction set architectures. There is no evidence to suggest that somehow ARM is at a significant advantage vs Intel in terms of increasing performance while keeping power low. It has been generally accepted now that ISA's have a negligible impact on IPC and performance per watt. Many of these newer ARM socs like the 810 are having overheating issues themselves. The higher performance Nvidia SOCs that have impressive performance are using 10+ watts TDPs too.

Also it is always a bit tricky to make cross platform and cross ISA CPUs comparisons in benchmarks like GeekBench and for whatever reason Intel cpus tend to do relatively poorly in GeekBench compared to other benchmarks. You can try to compare other real world uses between the i5-5200U and the Exynos 7420 and I can assure you that the tiny Exynos will be absolutely no match to the much larger, wider and more complex Broadwell cores. Don't get me wrong, the Exynos 7420 is very impressive for its size and power consumption, but I don't think we can take that GeekBench comparison seriously.

The fastest low power core right now is without a doubt the Broadwell Core M which is a 4.5 watt part. This is built on Intel's 14nm process which is more advanced than Samsungs.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/9061/lenovo-yoga-3-pro-review/4

"Once again, in web use, the Core M processor is very similar to the outgoing Haswell U based Yoga 2 Pro. Just to put the numbers in a bit more context, I also ran the benchmarks on my Core i7-860 based Desktop (running Chrome, as were the Yogas) and it is pretty clear just how far we have come. The i7-860 is a four core, eight thread 45 nm processor with a 2.8 GHz base clock and 3.46 GHz boost, all in a 95 watt TDP. It was launched in late 2009. Five years later, we have higher performance in a 4.5 watt TDP for many tasks. It really is staggering."

"As a tablet, the Core M powered Yoga 3 Pro will run circles around other tablets when performing CPU tasks. The GPU is a bit behind, but it is ahead of the iPad Air already, so it is not a slouch. The CPU is miles ahead though, even when compared to the Apple A8X which is consistently the best ARM based tablet CPU.

"

This.

All of the little atom CPUs we see in mobile right now are much smaller, narrower and simpler cores than Intel Core chips. Once you see Intel big cores trickle down into mobile, it will get much more interesting.
[Galaxy S6 General] rjayflo:
Intel will catch up...quick too just watch. They've been working on 64-bit for over a year now...and they're already onto 14nm. Qualcomm should be worried, I don't think their ready for this competition. They talked trash about octa cores and 64-bits...now their doing both and seems their product is still in beta status, not ready for the real world. Intel and Samsung are gonna give them problems
[Galaxy S6 General] poweroutlet:
Technically Intel and AMD have had 64 bit for well over a decade now with AMD64/EM64T and many Intel mobile processors have had it for years, so the HW has supported it for a while but 64 bit enabled tablets/phones haven't started shipping until very recently.

Indeed Intel has been shipping 14nm products since last year and their 14nm process is more advanced than Samsung's. Note that there is no real science behind naming a process node so terms like "14nm" and "20nm" have turned into purely marketing material. For example, TSMC 16nm isn't actually any smaller than their 20nm process. Presumably Intel 14nm also yields higher and allows for higher performance transistors than the Samsung 14nm.

It is likely that Samsung has the most advanced process outside of Intel however. I do agree that Qualcomm is in a bit of trouble at the moment with players like Intel really growing in the tablet space and Samsung coming out with the very formidable Exynos 7420 SOC in the smartphone space. The SD810 just isn't cutting it and has too many problems. Qualcomm should also be considered that both Samsung and Intel have managed to come out with high end LTE radios, this was something that Qualcomm pretty much had a monopoly on for years. Intel now has the 7360 LTE radio and Samsung has the Shannon 333 LTE.
[Galaxy S6 General] tft:
i agree about Qualcomm, i actually mentioned that some time ago.

i think Qualcomm will happen what happened to nokia/blackberry, they got huge and stopped innovating and ended up being left in the dust. perhaps Qualcomm thought they had a monopoly and that samsung and other device makers would continue to buy their chips..

in the end, i think the only thing Qualcomm will have left is a bunch of patents..
[Galaxy S6 General] tcb4:
I understand that Core M is a powerful part, but I'm not sure I believer their TDP figures. I am, however, more inclined to believe Samsung as they achieving this performance with an soc that is within a phone; in other words, they don't have the surface area to displace large quantities of heat. Nvidia has always skewed performance per watt numbers, and, as a result, they haven't been able to put an soc in a phone for years. Now, the reason I doubt intel's claims is because of battery life tests performed by reviewers and because of the low battery life claims made by manufacturers. For instance, the New Macbook and Yoga Pro 3 aren't showing large improvements in battery life when compared to their 15w counterparts.

I'm not sure how I feel about the iPad comparison though; I feel as if you just compounded the issue by showing us a benchmark that was not only cross platform, but also within different browsers.

Also, I think I understand what you mean about how an ISA will not directly impact performance per watt, but is it not possible that Samsung and Arm could just have a better design? I mean intel and AMD both utilize the same instruction set, but Intel will run circles around AMD in terms of efficiency. I may be way off base here, so feel free to correct me.

I think that Qualcomm is busy working on a new Krait of their own, but right now they're in hot water. They got a little lazy milking 32 bit chips, but once Apple announced their 64 bit chip they panicked and went with an ARM design. We'll have to see if they can bring a 64 bit Krait chip to the table, but right now Samsung's 7420 appears to be the best thing on the market.
[P3600 ROM Development] bigredone:
Okay this is driving me nuts. Every time I press the power button whether to turn screen back on or to return the device from standby, it always returns to the today screen instead of the screen in which I turned off the device, I have got security on, but the timeout is 24 hours. My exchange server did set some security policy, but I can't remember if the today screen problem was there before it did this. Is this a WM6 thing, I can't remember it doing it in WM5.

Example, if I'm using memory map while I'm out on my MTB, I'll power down the screen with AEButtonPlus and then use the power button to turn it back on, which used to be ideal, but now the Power button always returns me to the today screen forcing me to use the AEBUttonPlus task manager to switch to memory map again. Not easy with gloves on :-(.

I don't think its AEButtonPlus as I used this under WM5 along with everything else.

Anyone else having this problem?
[P3600 ROM Development] bigredone:
Sort of solution

After installing Zenyee.com_Stay_Unlock.zip, I was able to uncheck the previously greyed out "Prompt if device unused for" button, this has stopped it returning to the today screen, but obviously my phone is now insecure. So it would seem even if you have a 24hr timeout, the OS still goes back to the today screen, but if you disable the password completely it doesn't. Result - sort of anyway!
[P3600 ROM Development] NeilM:
Maybe a silly question, but in Settings/Today, Theme tab, have you unchecked the 'Return to Today Screen after....' item?
